One of the Sheffield Photographic Society members, Peter Matthews, took a brilliant version of this image. I looked at his picture and thought 'I can do that. How hard can it be?' Let me tell you - bloody hard. I reckon I have close on 100 rubbish pictures of pigeons because they don't listen to instructions. When you factor trying to exclude people walking by from the picture, plus the need to smile tolerantly at small children who think a group of pigeons is something they should run towards, it turns out that you have to be very patient indeed. The pigeons are happy though - they got a bread roll and two bagels out of me.
