Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F4, contre-jour, close-up. Three distinctly different feathers, but from one body (a pigeon killed by the cat).
Draußen ist schlecht Wetter und das habe ich zum Anlaß genommen wieder etwas in übung mit dem Blitzgeräten zu kommen. Ewig nicht gemacht.
The weather outside is bad and I took this as an opportunity to get some practice with the flashlight again. Not done in forever.
The Waxeye (or silvereye) Zosterops lateralis, also known in New Zealand by its Māori name tauhou (stranger), is a small and friendly olive green forest bird with white rings around its eyes. Slightly smaller than a sparrow, they mainly eat insects, fruit and nectar.
A feather on the water, light and airy,
Dancing with the current, akin to a fairy.
Dodging fish with a subtle dance,
None will eat it, not ever a chance!
Natural History: Birds
Over the years I have walked many a mile over the countryside and seashore. I have also taken some bird photos, these are just a few.
A Feather from my craft kit and a marble from the bottom of a drawer, put them together and this is what you get.
Its amazing what you see when you start taking macro photos, I didn't realise there were tiny bubbles in the marble until i was editing.
Though these are very common further north we do not too often see them here. This one has been visiting the garden most days for about a week now.
I posted a more distant shot of this feather. I thought that a closer shot would bring out the textures better.
This is our Congo African Grey, Kato. He is a longtime rescue resident at our house. When we got him years ago, he had so much anxiety that he had plucked all his feathers out. Feather plucking is a hard habit to break. We have been working with him for years, and still, we will come into our bird room and find he has done damage again, but for now, he has done really well for a LONG time! We are so proud of him!
To the right of the Colorado River, feather patterns appear on the front of the cliff, eluding to the Native American inhabitants of this massive land, prior to the induction of the park to present times.

I picked up this Pheasant feather whilst out with Pep. It had obviously succumbed to a greater force as there were feathers everywhere! A spritz of H²O added to give it some glam!!
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all.
There’s a number of feathers that have been pushed into the top of fence posts along the path where I walk my dogs. This one has weathered really nicely over the past few months.

So, if you want to say something about my photo, it will be really appreciated, no matter if it's about liking or some constructive criticism. Your own thoughts and words will mean much more to me than a universal-text.

Correct me if I am wrong but I am 99% sure that this is an American Crow, as it's upper and lower mandibles form a pretty straight line where they meet.
The tail feathers seems to be straight, whereas a Raven's tail feathers form a wedge, at least in flight. I am not sure if that comparison holds true if not in flight.
What I did find very interesting was the feather that it was hanging on to. Not sure what type of feather, but I would guess it to be from a Canada Goose.
Crows seem to find delight in discovering treasures. It was perched there for some time and I left before it took off, so I am unsure whether it was valuable enough to the Crow to take it with him or her.
