I think that these doves are so beautiful . . you've captured his soft colors and velvet looking textures. Wonderful pov, Katy. He's so alert and seems to be aware of his "fifteen minutes of fame!"
@debsphotos I have an incredible zoom on my camera . I was about 20-30 feet away and just zoomed in. He did sit still while I leaned against the shed to steady myself a little and flew off after I took three shots
This is a beautiful shot of this dove, Katy. The detail is incredible. I have yet to get a good photo of one in our backyard but do not have the zoom capability that you do. I am looking at getting a new camera and started researching this one on Amazon after seeing it at Target and wanting to buy it but there is a negative review about night shots. Just curious if you have problems with your camera and hope you do not mind me asking as all I see are fantastic shots that you take? Thanks in advance.
@jayberg Thanks so much, Jay. The sky was a HA. (happy accident) I was so intent on getting him in the frame that I really didn't think about that until I saw it on the computer later.
@darsphotoshttp://365project.org/grammyn/365/2011-07-22 This is one I took with my old camera. The distance was only about 10or15 feet more than this shot.. The only problem I have with my camera is BEHIND the viewfinder! ;~} (that would be me) I still haven't even learned all the things it will do let alone actually tried them all! I got it in December and love it. A good zoom was essential for me and this one has it! There are lots of other features that were what I wanted and didn't even know I wanted them at the time I got it. I highly recommend it. I have been very happy with it. Thank you so much for all your kind comments, Darlene.
love this. The doves are so gentle. I have often tried getting shots of them on the ground. I never have seen one in a tree. On the ground they blend right in- too much. This is awesome
I love these! There are a few near my school, but they sit SO high up in a skyscraper tree, I can barely get a shot of them at all. I love the colors of their feathers. Nice capture.
