Pigeon on Ice

Back at the frozen pond today to see the pigeons walking/slipping on the ice!

My bridge camera has been causing me some frustration and swear words! Its limited aperture range in particular. When the zoom function started misbehaving and the shutterspeed refused to increase, it was time for it to retire or at least take a break.
I splashed out on a used DSLR and a couple of lenses. I had a very hefty DSLR a few years ago but sold it as it was just too heavy to carry around on a daily basis. It seems I have turned full circle!

The ice isn’t much fun for birds. I also have a Nikon 5600. Hope that you enjoy yours.

Talk about cold feet! Nicely shot and good in B&W!

It did a beautiful job with the light and shadows on the ice.

Lots of interest on that ice, the texture, reflections and patterns

I love this, you definitely picked right by using B&W.. It brings the cold effect out perfectly. I fav this one.
