Peacock Feather

A few weeks ago I posted some photos of feathers and as it is another wet day here in Port Stephens I thought I would have another play with feathers.

I love how peacock feathers always seem to be watching you.

Love the light on the feathers. Beautiful colors.

Love the shimmer, great light

[Annie D]

their feathers do have many eyes hahaha

[Diana]

Beautifully captured and lovely light to bring out the iridescent colours.

What did you use to get the background so black Babs, mine always turns out dark grey or blue?

[haskar]

Great composition and light.

[Kathy A]

Gorgeous colours

[Babs]

@ludwigsdiana I just used a light next to it and then used flash for this one, but usually to get the black background really black I use a soft box. When I use the soft box though I change the white balance setting

[KoalaGardens🐨]

nicely done
