I heard a Stock-dove sing or say his homely tale, this very day;
His voice was buried among trees, yet to be come at by the breeze:
He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed: and somewhat pensively he wooed:
He sang of love, with quiet blending, slow to begin, and never ending;
Of serious faith, and inward glee; that was the song, the song for me!
William Wordsworth

White dove I
While standing outside talking to my neighbour I saw his white doves flying over. The sky was also deep blue at that time, and I imagined what a nice contrast with the dove this would form.

White dove II
I learned very much in shooting flying birds lately. In a discussion with George he insisted that we'd need 1/2000s at least or even faster to freeze the motion of fast moving birds. On a nice day I tried this with the white doves of my neighbour and I like the result very much. I'm less reluctant of using high ISOs after the D2x firmware update, and a properly exposed high ISO shot is very clean and full of detail .
