birds of a feather

I got a commission recently for a set of three feather photos–a kind of triptych of sorts. So my box of feathers has been scattered all over the kitchen floor. Photographing feathers like this on a white background is a little tricky because the white shafts of the feathers want to disappear (over-expose) when I lift the background to bright white during editing. So I don’t do it much. But there they were, asking to be photographed. So I indulged them.
