Photo references (birds) - 05-08-2007, 12:10 PM


I got the urge to paint a phoenix just now, and I'm wondering if any of you fabulous photographers have a photo that I could use as an anatomy reference on my painting.

What I'm looking for is something fairly dynamic, not just a bird sitting around. I'd prefer that it be in flight or at least have it's wings outspread. I also prefer a full back, full front, or 3/4 view as opposed to something shown from the side. I really want to show the outspread wings as much as possible.

Hmm... I might make posts in this thread again later looking for other references to paint. I'm trying to sketch/speedpaint more. I'm too rusty :D

Beth,
I am not too sure if this is what you are looking for, but feel free to reference this shot I have of a Double-Crested Cormorant.
