Has anybody got any ideas on how to make a proper box in which to put your pigeon for a photograph.   Size and materials also reqd.  

If racing is not possible, we're going to need another outlet and I thought this would do me as a bit of a project, along with painting, wallpapering, gardening, plumbing, SHOPPING.

God I hope we race !!! LOL.

We have made a photobox which works quite well.  I will ask Steve later today the specifics of the construction and post on the list

Thanks Hyacinth,

                           It's just something I need to do after seeing eight famous pigeons ( not that mine are famous ) of George Busschaert  all together in one large frame on the wall in his home.

I doubt if I would get you to stand right, especially coming out of your loft of deep litter wearing those high heels.  LOL

TT Steve fell asleep in the chair last night and didn't do the spec for me, I hope to get it done tonight

I was going to set one up myself,photography is another hobbie of mine, I found out

that taking picture of them at nite time seemed to work best, the background is dark

and just the Pigeon was visible, it depends on your flash and how you like taking

pictures.

 

Once their new feathers grow back I will try more photos , I post a few of my Pigeon

pictures on Webshots and invited this Group to view them if they wished,my picture

site is at

Let us know if you ever come up with some ideas on making something up.My friend

had a Bird Blind set up out in the Woods for years and he got some of the best

pictures I ever seen,they look best in a natural setting,maybe if you could make

up a natural setting and place the Pigeons there ,that might work well

 

Good Luck Jason

To take Photos, a wire cage lined with black velvet cloth on walls and bottom works best. leave the top of wire cage open for a light to shine down on the bird. when covering the bottom with the black leave a block of wood under it so the bird will use it like a perch .leave a door on the front to place the bird in and out. you can use any color velvet for back ground,but black or a maroon works best. the Velvet cuts the glare down also
