Maybe this dove realize I'm taking his photo and directly look towards my camera.
I just realized when I'm editing this photo, there's a green colour surrounding the dove eyes.
There's a light reflection in the eye of the dove.
Hello Hive community. It's been awhile again since I've been posting in this community. Since I bought a lens converter to used back my old canon lenses mount, I've been exploring quite a lot of photo possibilities now. Since I have this telephoto lens Tamron 70mm - 300mm f4 5.6, my range has increase quite a lot especially paired with my APS-C camera sensor. This telephoto lens is meant for full frame camera and with 1.5 crop factor of my camera body, I can easily get 400mm range and I've been waiting for a bird outside of my house to get to test the performance of this lens using the Viltrox converter lens mount. To my surprise, the focus is very fast. I have not tested the continuous focus yet but this single focus is already fast exceeding my expectation. This is not a native lens to my Sony camera and this lens is quite old for today camera technology standard. This bird that I've captured is the Zebra Dove. I have never really know that there a quite a lot of Dove type and this I only know after googling this photo to get the bird species name. This is the Zebra dove which also knows as the barred ground dove, or barred dove, a species of bird of the dove family, Columbidae, native to Southeast Asia. There's a whole lot of bunch of this dove in my housing area and they were the one contributed to bombarding my car with their faeces sometimes. Now that I get a close look of this bird, they are actually quite beautiful. After this experience, I might go birding at some point so that I can utilized this lens more. I'm also will see how this lens perform with video and hopefully it can be used for this purposes.
