thanks for the comments, hope to put a dvd out with the birds next year.
actually might work better on a tv than projected because the details always seem to get lost projected.

Hi,

I really like these images, I have been trying to do a few things similar myself.

Are you adjusting colours a lot or do the images come out like this at a certain time of night?

the art of memory said...

hello,
colors out of the camera, due to low light and some adjustments in the camera + many filters.

i like the scelsi and messiaen methods, which is to let the fellows above do the manipulations, and just basically, in this case, turn on the record button.

thanks for looking.

All the best,
