'Cherokee Girl in Silhouette and Soft Focus' by SkyFox

'Cherokee Girl in Silhouette and Soft Focus'

  • Self-Portrait
  • Please view Large view or it doesnt really have the same feel, Thank you!

This is me and my very best friend ‘Baby’. This is a self-portrait and very hard to achieve as I was shooting and working with an animal at the same time.

But after about 200 shots, I finally got the interaction between us captured, along with the pose I was going for. Thank you for looking!

Baby is an Indian Ringneck Parrot; 2 yrs old.*
Visit us on YouTube: babytheringneck. He… we talk a lot.

  • Ianphares

    Ianphares, 6 months ago

    I was looking through some RPA galleries and I came across yours. This is really beautiful. I bet it was really hard to get the focus, framing and the bird all right at the same time. Did you use a clicker or did you have to guesstimate when the camera was going to fire?

  • Kerry McFarland

    Kerry McFarland, 6 months ago

    Really cool shot, and worth the time! You’re right, bigger is better, as you can see beautiful light details, that you’d otherwise miss with it so small.
