I love to spend most of my evenings on a lake near my house. Since I can spend long hours on that lake, I sometimes get ample amount for experiments.Mostly the lake is inhabited by common birds like egrets , kingfishers and bee eaters etc. Time spent on those experiments allow me to get into the nuances of the art and science of photography. This little writeup after a long sabbatical is just about some of those pics on the lake during a silent evening....
This is a reflection of the bamboo sticks in lake water that was kind of making an eccentric pattern.The water surface painted with the reflections and the sunlight made it look different. Working on the patterns of the reflection , here is another one pattern made by the reflection of tree covered by egrets. Reflections, they sure are kind of different , especially when they are cropped to include only the water surfaces.
Apart from the patterns , the steady reflections made by the birds too can create a frame. For instance in this pic , the flying birds and frozen moments created a frame for me. The colours of the dry grass and the twigs and greens reflected from leaves made a colour quotient that is characteristic of the lake sides....
The hovering blue kingfisher was a star of the evening , when it was the only bird that was into my framable distance. The slighly lower shutter speed gave me a motion blur in its wings and as luck would have it ,its head was steady then.
The light , it surely changes everything from mood to the drama in an image. The setting sunlight's golden hue and the silhouette of the flying bird made a good recipe for the image....
And as the sun bid us a goodbye, it was time to wrap up the evenings , both for the birds and for me, not before recording some patterns of the flocks as they went to their abode.....
The disciplined pattern of the flock, making a shape that will be an aeronautical advantage similar to an aeroplane is something I have always been in awe with. Something that will be mastered by us , but only artificially....
And finally the dusk knocked the hourglasses and it was time. The birds just flew away to their destinations , bidding the lake goodbye for the timebeing, as they both know , the cycles would always go on..... the decorum and discipline will always remain.... and we all will be, I hope, just the silent admirers......
