Mesmerising

"powerlineflyers" by Wes Johnson



You really must see this. At around 1.20 my jaw dropped.

His comments are interesting, too.
In response to:
"Great long shot - loved how you resisted temptation to move camera and let the birds do their thing..."
He said:
"That's a bit of a funny story, actually. Fate made me keep it static. I didn't have my tripod with, if you can believe, and I had to rig one from a light stand, a super clamp and a grip head. That it even worked is nothing short of a miracle--I had to block the wind from passing (and honking, of course) cars, because the stand was so unstable. To look at me making this film must have been a sight."

Now THAT'S the kind of photography I love - random, challenging and utterly beautiful.
