WE SHALL KNOW OUR VELOCITY #2 — January 22, 2007

Nikon D200: 50mm, 1/320 f/2.4

This is the final post from our outing last week. Currently listening to the ever so tender & poetic "Somersault" by Decoder Ring; a fine end to the evening. I hope everyone's week is off to a swell start.

  1. Perfect composed. The silhouette of the bird works well with these tones.

  6. Tyler, this entire series is just amazing. It has a bit of a macabre feel but it is really powerful. Again use of colour and DOF is very unique to your style and I totally love it. And how the hell did you get that bird to fly straight up?

  9. I like the title. I googled it — is it a reference to the David Eggers book, or is that in turn a ref to something else…? Or did you just make it up?

  11. Thanks everyone.

    @Brant: It was a joint effort. The Better Half™ patiently & adeptly tossed some bread while I snapped away. Whole wheat bread to be specific ;)

    @Peter: When I first viewed this series (specifically the bottom image on the original post) I was immediately reminded of book covers. I then thought of Eggers “You Shall Know Our Velocity” and how perfectly these images represented that statement. I eventually settled on “We Shall Know Our Velocity ” to embody the crow and its inherent mythology.

  14. Wonderful capture, you chose a good point to make the photo. The way the bird rises into the air looks amazing. Visited your blog for the first time. Very, very nice!
