I'm Just A Bird In The Sky

I'm Just A Bird In The Sky
This is a stuffed toy toucan plush toy. Long ago, I sketched out the pattern for it and then my Mother sewed it up for me. It was patterned after one like it that my little brother had at the time. To take this picture, I tossed the bird up into the air and used a little fill flash so it wouldn't be backlit from the sky. The post-processing effect I used was "Lens Flare."

This is so cute, Kenny, and that's something I have to try sometime. I imagine it's quite a trick to get a good focus while tossing something like that. I like the effect against the bright sky. Nicely done!

It took me 20 to 30 throws to get one I liked! I preset the focus to between 5-6 feet and turned off auto-focus.

Extra points for catching the flying toucan, the effect works well to enhance it! At first sight I actually thought you had merged two separate shots;-)

From the thumbnail I thought it was one of those fancy hot air balloons at first. A brilliant shot, and unique idea! Have a good flight, Mr Toucan!!!

Good idea with the flash and backlight. It looks like one of the Angry Birds from the computer game.
