Smile Macro Challenge #11 - Feathers
The theme for our eleventh Macro Challenge is Feathers.

This challenge will run throughout the month of JULY.

You may submit your own original work shot during or before the challenge. I encourage everyone to get out and make some NEW photos for this challenge. This might be a new subject for some of us - I'm already thinking about where I can get some feathers and interesting ways to photograph them.

Please post your images in this thread along with any technical information you would like to share such as camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, iso, lighting conditions, post processing, location, subject details, etc.

I will award (and so can all of you!) karma for outstanding work.

To begin with, I don't like the lens that much, I should think of better compositions.. Our pet bird "Monk" is posing for this one, let's see what more ideas "feathers" will introduce..

Brian, the sharpness is astounding..

fresh feather shot
Thought I'd better take a new shot for this as well - with some ps work. A feather with dewdrops laying on the lawn.

Silver Feathers.

I could not locate organic feathers but I located some inorganic ones on a Silver Dollar.
This is my first post using my newly acquired Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens. This photo was taken at 1X and the camera is not full frame so the final magnification is 1.6x. I love this lens.
Enjoy.

Thanks Athena. This new lens is fun to use when tethered to a laptop. Big images. BTW I think dusters with feathers are extinct! The local stores had dusters but the dusters had no feathers.

Just those plastic ones? I live in the developing world though - we still have the feathered variety.
