I came across this futuristic , surreal view this week and have to confess to liking its quiet , ambiguous qualities , everything appears to be unified and together , even the birds are complicit in this illusion of togetherness within this “Well Organised” calm frame …
No sooner was this frame in the bag and a alternative “Photo-Opp” fleetingly presented itself to me , my highly developed photo instincts kicked in immediately and my lightning quick reactions bagged this special moment without hesitation !
In short , I got lucky and grabbed this , this shot was so fleeting I photographed it but barely had time to see it …
I’ve written before about leaving space within the frame for serendipitous events to occur but this feels like more than that , strange how these gatecrashing birds seem to possess a well developed sense of composition, timing and a astute understanding of the rule of thirds ?
More proof if proof were needed that we are all gifted the pictures that are meant for us and that life the universe and everything does conspire to throw us the elusive street photography “bones” we crave , we just have to be ready to catch them …
Be lucky, its much more fun than being good …
