Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

Great and funny capture. Nice use of the DOF. It reminds me a little bit my picture Three Good Fellows !

Superb capture Alan, you will have to have another visit to Heaton Park with this new camera. The detail on this first pigeon is fantastic, it could do with a manicure though, there's some poop on its claw,lol. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

I have no use for pigeons or doves but they are beautiful birds as your capture

Well done... that first birds eye is amazing! Not too bright, pigeons. The saying sprang to mind 'If brains were dynamite he couldn't blow his nose.'

Excellent POV and DOF, those birds are almost posing for you there, love the non conformist in the middle that's turning away :)

I love this! How wonderful that they lined up so nice for you. The one closest seems to be posing for the camera a bit. I simply adore pigeons anyway but this is a fabulous shot even if I didn't like them so much.

Great composition & capture!

fantastic foto love the clarity, nothing wrong with doves as subject either, in the bible a dove comes to sit on jesus head after being babtised by john, another thing that springs to mind is the British scientist that trained pigeons to be used as guided systems in air torpedos during ww2, the project got canceled on moral grounds though, (it was guiding the missle by picking on a plate where the ship was.)

Wonderful shot!!!!!!!!

A wonderful capture Alan! I like the dof also. It tells me that you may have been close, but still far enough away to use this technique to your advantage, bringing out all the details in texture and color of the feathers, Sig..
