Comments on: Flight off the Concourse http://timothyallen.blogs.bbcearth.com/2010/02/02/flight-off-the-concourse/ Behind the scenes blog of BBC Human Planet's photographer, Timothy Allen Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:58:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Blackshaheen http://timothyallen.blogs.bbcearth.com/2010/02/02/flight-off-the-concourse/comment-page-1/#comment-3267 Blackshaheen Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:33:49 +0000 http://timothyallen.blogs.bbcearth.com/?p=3075#comment-3267 I must, in the interests of transparancy, admit immediately that I am the falconer in question with regard to this project. I have seen many falcon photographs in my time and been 'handled' by many photographers but Kierens work is totally non-intrusive and the results are something special. As a falconer I tend to be hyper-critical when it comes to falcon photos and the life (or lack thereof) that they convey in a single frame. The images that have been taken of our falcon team in flight and under pressure are hands down the best I have ever seen (and I've seen more than a few!). So a special thankyou to Kieren and the rest of the team for their creativity and expertise and we wait with eager anticipation to see more images in the future.

The images are beautifully lit and masterfully framed. Pic 5 wins the podium place for me amongst 5 other incredibly strong images. What a fitting tribute to David and his feathered friends within the context of a truly inspired arabian urban monolith. Top marks to Kieran and I await eagerly the chance to view the film....
