1 minute: pigeons in Rome

In experimenting with the Flip video camera, I’ve started shooting 1 minute clips of Rome. No editing. No panning. No movement other than the subject. And only natural, local sound.

I came across these pigeons in Campo dei Fiori — after the fruit and vegetable vendors had left, but before any serous clean-up had begun. Here the pigeons are going after two ciambelle (doughnuts).

Around 0:24 a toddler runs towards them, but fails to dissuade many to give up their deep fried treasure.

    I enjoyed this…no pan, no zoom. How about doing the same with tourists near the fountain in front of the Pantheon.
