Bird Art

As a bird photographer, I have a serious problem.

I no longer own a zoom lens. That pretty much puts me out of the game in terms of creating new images... however, I have been meaning to explore the idea of creating digital art based on my own photos. This post shows some of my first efforts.

A bald eagle in flight. That's right... one bald eagle.

A great blue heron, tiptoeing across a pond. Digitized of course.

When I talk about digitizing what I mean is turning the image into a scalable vector graphic. You can click on any of these images to see them larger if you're not sure what that means.

So that's what I did here, and I'll show you just a few more examples. Here is a peacock perched in a tree. I don't often see them in trees but they can fly so now and then they do get up there.

A coopers hawk perched in a tree top.

Three Canada geese in a row. This time there really were three, not like the trick I pulled with the eagle in the first post.

Let me know what you think of these images. They are just an experiment but I had fun making them. If enough people like them, I may produce a few more. Thanks very much for visiting!
