    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?

    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.
