Birdpuss

Scratch, our Siamese, photographed with what would on a normal day be his dinner.

Birds were shot at a local pet store and added to the original take of Scratch in the bowl using Photoshop 6.

As the birds were photographed in cages, the bars they were behind had to be cloned out and this took a lot of time and patience. Addition of shadows and ensuring consistency in the direction of light source were important factors to getting the image to look realistic.

All elements shot with a Canon EOS 100 + EF 28-80 USM on Fuji 100 ISO color print film. Negatives scanned to digital on a Canon FS 2710 film scanner.
