Field Notes

Description:

Black bird.

Habitat:

Hills, oak woodlands.

Notes:

As a nacent nature photographer I learned that birds are hard to photograph: they're far away and they move. There's a tension between an accurate and scientific capture of the bird, and an aesthetically pleasing picture.
