273: Perched Aloft

"It's just a pigeon..."
Not great, but not bad for an equivalent 1600mm lens hand held.

Settings: f/16, 1/250, ISO 400, EOS D30, Tamron SP 500mm adaptall, 2x teleconverter.

038: Beanie Bird

This is unusual...
A fluffy bird toy with a sparkly background! It looks quite like a shower of sparks, actually. If it were more yellow the photo might seem to have been taken in a steel mill. That's an even stranger prospect, something you might come across at pictureisunrelated.com.

I used the same lens and flash setup as I usually have been (as I'm lazy,) and placed a curved, crinkled sheet of kitchen foil behind the bird head.
