Ready and Outstretched

Going for a Walk

A shot of a spotted dove (Streptopelia chinensis) walking along a roof. I think this shot gives a sense of distance quite nicely. I also think the colour isn’t too harsh and helps to give the scene a relaxed feel … Continue reading

Flying Somewhere

Similar to two photos I took last year. This feels a little less dramatic and smaller. The rock dove seems almost as though it has no legs. It feels like it’s moving through the air without moving its wings. I … Continue reading
