Hi

 

I am going to make a cage where I put the birds I want to take photos of in. It will have one perch and it will be about the size of a breeding cage. What colour background should I have? Which colour brings out the best of the bird?

My camera is not very good, 4 megapixel. I will be using flash unless I need to know the sex of the bird, flash gives me way clearer pictures.

 

Any advice would be great.

I would say white background... there is a picture here if you need an idea for a photo cage. they sell these as training cages for shows but I think they're a lot like the ones you are describing...

okay thankyou Jimmy, I will get some white cardboard and stick it on the back. Are photos with flash best taken outside in sun light or inside?

You just need day light. It doesn't need to be outside though...

l thought of black too.

i usto be into photoghraphy although i never really went their

black purple orange and aqua blue usually are the colours chosen

why not have loose cardbord you can place as you feel depending what best brings out the birds colours ?

Thankyou all for the help.

 

I will use the suggest colours and test themout.
