I've found this feather on my balcony today. I want to throw it away but I decided to take some photos of it. I think it could be a nice motive for other scenes also, so it will stay with me for some time...
And, of course, you can have lamps and everything and combine the light in every direction and in the end it always reveals that sunlight is the best ;-) I'd rather not move the bookshelf on which I put background but fortunately in the summer sun is coming deep enough to use it in my home studio - at least for such small object. For portraits I have to lower the blinds to not have half of the person in different light.
