Just to clarify about the dust and my babies' safety:
the dust is not talcum. They are the dust collected from the ground in their barn. I repeatedly filtered it with super fine cooking flour sifter. To get white color, simple, light set up technique and a little photoshop.
The process of making this dust is really difficult to perfectly achieve this kind of feeling and break down when they fly. The humidity must be right.
I wouldn't risk the safety of my babies just for pictures for sure.
Thank you for the comment and the opportunity for me to give you further view of what actually going on.
