Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Mourning Dove (Zenaida
macroura)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: May 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 80% of frame
Commentary: A common bird throughout much of the US, and as a
result overlooked by many people. I have been trying to exploit the
AZ landscape to make interesting images of this species, and I like
this mixed tan and green location a few miles from my house. I also
enjoy making images of birds where they don't dominate the frame, but
appear as important elements in a larger composition.
