Experimenting with Digital

I discovered this Spring that my "expensive" sunglasses had broken over the winter. Being a slave to the shades I was forced to buy a new pair. Argh. However, while out at my cemetery I started to play around with my polarized sunglasses to see what type of artistic effect they would provide. Suddenly I realized that my broken sunglasses have a new and useful purpose! The frames gave a nice vignette while the polarization and tint made an even more interesting color effect. So now the task is to be learn how to hold the sunglasses against the lens and still keep up with the attacking seagulls.

Sorry to report, being the crazy animal lover I am, that the birds nest I photographed in the previous image from this series has been plundered and filled with sand. Despite being "just" måsjävlar, it was a bit distressing for me to find the nest destroyed and babies surely killed, after seeing the chicks snuggle up to their mom upon her return to the nest. I guess the dead don't necessarily love the living. ; )

That is what my photographic work with animals is about though. Provokng a soulful connection between beast and human.
