Chickens

Wings are flapping, birds are squawking, there's chicken shit everywhere. The chicken wranglers are doing their best and I'm ready in position. The flash is set to its lowest power, and I'm firing the camera like a machine gun. In the flash and dazzle the chickens go still. A second later I have the shot, and in a blur of feathers and chaos they're gone. Who knew chicken portraiture would be so action-packed?
