3rd Place
Invisible Birds
by Michael Kilpatrick

When the show started there were birds everywhere on the lake and dozens of them flew right over us.
I thought I might have captured some interesting motion effects, but, alas, it was too dark and they are completely invisible.

Canon EOS 7D ,Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX
8s f/8.0 at 11.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thanks Gerald. There was some gusty wind blowing, which disturbed the surface in patches. Regards, Michael

Even without visible birds this is an excellent capture. Interesting to discover how the water surface changes from shiny to matt at some places. -Gerald

Thanks Shu. It's nice to be welcomed back. I think the more intense colour in the reflection is just because it isn't as over-exposed as the actual fireworks. Regards, Michael

Thanks Paul. I kept intending to enter, but time pressure or lack of inspiration got in the way. Regards, Michael
