Actually, the shot below is of a pretty shoddy job. If we’d done it properly, as we did most of the time, there wouldn’t have been any blow-out. Here, a large part of the energy of the charge is moving upwards as the shot hole blows out and the noise generated when the dirt falls back to the ground also degrades the signal. But when a shot goes well, there’s nothing to photograph.
It’s trickier to find the bird sitting on the wire in this image than the two caged birds in the image I posted yesterday, but it’s there. You might need to click on the image to go over to my Smugmug version and enlarge from there.
There are two birds sitting in a cage outside one of the windows here – actually there’s a second cage but I can’t see how many birds are in that one. There’s also an electric desk fan hung outside one of the windows to provide a drying breeze in case mother nature decides not to. The ragged tarpaulins and corrugated iron sheets enclose a produce/grocery store.
A young man walks down the street accompanied by his mother. They pass workers having lunch in the cafe’s. They’re forced to walk in the road because the sidewalk was seized long ago by the cafe and store owners to expand their mini empires.
