Doves

Probably everyday we have some doves hanging out in the back yard so I figured I would see if I could get some decent pictures of them. The hard part is getting close enough to them, even with the 500mm lens I had on, to get a decent picture. It also helps if you can keep the dog from running out the door as soon as you open it!

More SMOKE

These are a couple more images that I did last night.

SMOKE

This is one of the shots from my first attempt at photographing smoke. I used an incense stick to provide the smoke then just tried different ways of fanning the smoke trying to get some interesting designs. I got the idea from some photography another guy did that looked pretty interesting.
