Photo session

[captlen]

Alf, Hahn's female 1 1/4years, have not had a photo session since the red in her wings came out. I know this makes no sense since I am a photographer, but you know how it is.

I posted this one and others to the macaw gallery. Alf is doing great her vocabulary seems to be on the move again. I could never have imagined what a great companion this critter could be.

I guess I am just feeling like a proud papa today and thought I would share.

LOL, no, it doesn't suprise me at all that a photographer would neglect personal photo taking. I feel just silly sometimes when I think of how much I fail to document the events in my own family, and how much effort I put into outside happenings.

What a beautiful bird!

I see some Moire in the feather lines, what kind of camera are you using?

I am using a Canon 10D but don't blaim the camera. I uploaded the wrong picture, one that was over sharpened. I have replaced it with the correct one.

I wondered if it was a result of post processing. The rest of the image was so clean. That's a nice little light box you have there. Thank you for sharing the pics, I love seeing everyone's fids!

Thanks for sharing the picture,

When taking pictures outside of our birds they look even more beautiful :)

Thanks for reminding me to get them outside for some pictures.

What a beauty!! Do Hahn's macaws get their red at a certain age?

Alf was hatched in May of 2004. She had no red at all untill her most recent molt which started just before her first birthday. I understand this is about right one year seems to be the time the red comes out.
