    A couple of pigeon in flight shots
    Again, some photos of some very common birds :blush2:

    Took some shots of the pigeons flying around over a snow covered parking lot.

    It appears that one good thing about the snow is that it acts as a big reflector to reflect the light from an overcast sky off the ground back to the belly side of the birds.

    Shot with a 70-300VR.

    Heck – you can take ANY bird and turn it into a successful photograph!!! The only trick is to shoot with proper perspective, focus, etc.. Which in my opinion all are found in these ones here...

    Nicely done.

    I'm impressed with these because I know how difficult it is to get decent shots of birds in flight. I can see the best way to do it is with snow to reflect light up. Nice.
