Feathers

I can't say I ever paid much attention to feathers. Once you see one you start to see more...

...This lead to a series of still lives, I hope you like 'em.

The first image was made in indirect daylight, the rest were lit using strobes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing colors and lovely detail.

Fascination!

 

 

 

I also spotted some eggs, this shell was tiny, but it worked with the whole bird theme...

 

 

 

The Bluebird (Western Mountain Blubird, for those who care about such things) feathers were amazingly delicate, translucent...

 

 

 

 

So the ostritch feather seemed a good foil...

 

 

 

 

Not to mention the raven ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

This image includes (from the bottom up) a woodpecker, the bluebird, parrot and a very young hawk.

As always, thanks for taking the time to have a look.
