Feather_Thief_1.jpg
381 viewsA couple of friends (one of which is the guru of the hipikats website) and I like to shoot the swallows (Violet Green here) when they go for feathers for play. Yes, they do use them for their nests, but they play for hours grabbing them off the water, taking them up with their buddies, dropping them in flight and letting someone else carry the feather up and drop it, etc. It is one of the most joyous things in all of the bird world. This rivals the mating dances of the Birds of Paradise to me. Way cool.

Lustrous_2.jpg
Lustrous 2204 viewsLate, late evening and color bursting from depths. This was processed in Adobe Camera Raw to recover the light in the water that was largely a reflection property, the whites were there over the dark blues and touches of golden light.
I then processed it in CS4 with Noiseware Professional, and worked in CS4 filters: Vibrance & Saturation and Contrast & Brightness to the image you see.

Wood Duck Pair5 viewsHave yet to catch these birds in flight. They look pretty good in water, though. A flight shot is my goal.
