Steller’s Jay, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2552

Many people ask me if this Steller’s Jay is really this blue, or did I enhance the color. This photo was shot on slide film, and the reproduction is true to the color on the slide. Photographing the bird on an overcast day in the shade helps accentuate the blue. Light is always more blue on ...
