I took this the last time I was able to go to Stanley Park - the same day as I took the cherry tree "in the round" image. It's a double exposure of downtown Vancouver, duplicated several more times in PhotoShop and manipulated.
Zoom in and take a look :)
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
― Friedrich Nietzsche
HSS!
Chaos ensues after a flyover by a bald eagle, leading to thousands of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) launching into the sky. The birds flew in patterns reminiscent of a murmuration of starlings, with rapid twists and turns that I didn't think were possible for sandhill cranes.
This flock of cockatoos land in this tree every day - they stop for a rest, make a bunch of noise, then spontaneously take flight when one of them makes the call. I've tried to capture the 'feather explosion' moment a few times now, and today I got it!
A different approach for me. I see I shoot. See what happens when I get home. A little bit of post editing and things can really look different.
Happy Fence Friday
I don’t usually but solid food out for the birds at this time of year, the starlings would cost me a small fortune, but I came across a suet block in the cupboard so decided to have a go at high shutter speed photography.
It didn’t take long for the chaos to start

Another little gem from last year not yet published. I loved the rigid trunk centered among the chaos around it. Rendered in autumnal bronze the way only nature can!
