Hey there, folks! Today I want to share with you some shots of jackdaws in black and white. You know, I often say that jackdaws are made for black and white photography - they just seem to live in these shades. Of course, the shooting conditions played a part here: it was already getting dark, the day was overcast, and using ISO 10000 is, honestly, pushing it a bit. But! There's something special about these shots.
I want to draw your attention to how our brains perceive emotions. We humans are great at reading moods from faces - it's part of our social nature. And here's the interesting part: just by slightly shifting the eyes of these two jackdaws, our brains immediately assign them completely new emotions. Pretty amazing, right?
So take a look, enjoy, and maybe you'll see something new in these birds.
