FLIGHT SHOTS



DECIDED TO HAVE A GO AT SOME STARLINGS AND FERAL PIGEONS I WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS

    I hope you don’t mind me contacting you. My names Nick, I’m a designer. In my spare time I like to experiment and create pieces of work that I'm unable to do in my day job.
    I’d really like to create a double exposure image using starlings. I live in Brighton, so I’ve had no problem getting a landscape photograph of a murmuration of starlings but I don’t have the skills, experience or equipment to get a perfect picture of a single starling caught in flight.
    I came across your great photograph of starlings caught in flight – it looks perfect for what I’d like to try to accomplish, which is to create a black and white treatment of the form of one starling that's formed from a mumeration of starlings. I've referenced this picture as the creative concept look and feel: http://bit.ly/1B5QJXO

    If you felt the creative outcome was good you could use the image however you wished to. I understand if you’d rather not – I found free images of starlings on the web, an example here: http://bit.ly/1x4xa2N But they’re not quite the right framing and standard that I’m aiming for.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my email. I hope to hear back from you.

    Kind regards,

  2. Hi Glyn,

    I really love your in-flight starling photographs, they are amazing! I am doing a project working with starlings and would love to use one of your photos (appropriately acknowledging you of course), since I am nowhere good enough to get such lovely shots. I would really appreciate it if you would email me (manorth@ucalgary.ca) so that I can explain how I would like to use it, and find out whether you would allow me to. I accept if you decide you don't want me to use the image, though.

    Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

    Regards,
    Michelle
