Murder of crows!  An hour ago while I was walking home the largest murder I have ever seen was gathering around my home. It was insane! Every tree was full. I came in and grabbed my camera “as is” and took off down the alley. Unfortunately I had a long lens on so I could not capture the size of the “scene.” I cranked the ISO up to 6400 and started shooting in the dark, handheld at anywhere from 1/8 to 1/15. Ha! People were coming out of their homes thinking it was the apocalypse it was that noisy and crazy. I just checked the shots and I actually kind of like the feel of what I captured. Black streaks everywhere-exactly how the sky “felt.”

    This happens a lot in my town. One of the things I’m going to miss. The giant murders in all the bare trees on campus...
