My oldest daughter found this abandoned nest on the ground beside our driveway (had been blown out of the tree by the wind), so I allowed her to bring it inside so we could take some photos of it.
The story I was trying to convey here is the complexity and detail that goes into nest building, and I feel confident that I accomplished this. I'm sure this will not be exciting, or pleasing to the eye, but I did want to share to get some feedback as to my lighting/composition with what I had available here at home. Accessories include a "not so white" pillowcase, a tri-fold poster board (for science fair projects), and my kitchen table, as well as your basic household lamp with a 60 watt bulb, and natural sunlight coming in the window (while it lasted). I alternated on settings, flash, etc., and these were the best three, IMO, out of the 40+ shots I took.
#1
ISO-200, f/3.4, 1/60 sec, 8mm *compulsory flash, no strobe*
#2
ISO-1600, f/3.4, 1/60 sec, 8mm *No Flash*
#3
ISO-200, f/3.1, 1/60 sec, 6mm *Auto Flash*
So, comment/critique, if you so desire. Here goes nothin' lol.
