Canberra, Australia, January, 1999.
I've been scanning negatives from my 3-month long Australia trip back in 1999 with Hiram College.
Here's a shot of sulphur crested cockatoos, which were as common as crows in some areas of Australia. The sky was a bit grainy, so I blurred it and used a layer mask to exclude to the blur from the birds themselves.
Shot on Fuji 200, using my first real camera, a Samsung Maxima Zoom.
I thought this would be nice another mid-day addition to Misty-Dawn's camera critters meme.
Oh, the light shining through their wings is amazing! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. The background certainly looks much more seamless with the birds now than I imagine it would with grain.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful photo! I can't imagine seeing that kind of bird flying in the wild.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Incredible!
ReplyDeleteThey look expecially relaxed in their flight. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are wonderful...love them.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way the light is shining through their wings.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your scanning workflow?

ReplyDeletethe light is stunning!
ReplyDeleteG'Day from Down Under ;)
ReplyDeleteI see these everyday where I live. There are also black ones... which aren't as common.
Nice job with the image.
Wonderful light on those!
ReplyDeleteTom: Really neat shot of the flying birds.
ReplyDeleteI posted a few more Brandywine Falls photos.
Hey the editing is really nice, makes them look like white pigeons, lol. Excellent shot. Anna :)
