Birds in Branches

A black-and-white photo of dark birds perched among bare tree branches against a gray sky.
Birds in bare branches.

These crows would always sleep in the trees outside my bedroom window. Each morning they’d awaken and crow to the world making all sorts of noise. At one point I thought about trying to befriend them but figured I didn’t need crows constantly landing on my balcony and even worse if I made one mad and made a crow enemy.

One evening I wanted to capture them in the dark as they settled in for the night. This photo was taken with my D60 and my 35mm prime wide open and a high ISO. I really enjoy how it turned out.
