More Mourning Dove

In flight shots of dove are truly a big challenge for me. This time of year, I can count on finding enough dove in my area to keep me and my camera out in the field both mornings and evenings. I'm still struggling with trying to get good exposures, and focussing on these fast moving targets. The great, great majority of my shots end up in the garbage can. They are a major challenge, and I love chassin' them. Here's a few in flight pictures from yesterday evening.

Very good series. The third shot is my favorite.

They are tricky fellows to get a good capture. You have done a nice job.

yes a very nice set N03 for me to ,they will never be easy needing a very fast shutter that means a wide apeture so less dof -just the way it is .
