Yeah I can't move from program mode because I have blurred vision.



This is the actual picture off the camera before I flipped it and saturated it. It's a good picture but not a great picture.


That's a shame. It's bloody hard reading menus and settings with less than optimal vision.



However, your focusing should work OK despite your vision. Does your Panny have a "Sport" setting? If so, try that, as it will prioritise shutter speed over aperture.

Three reasons I hate pelicans...



1. they're ugly.



2. Their eyes rarely throw a highlight



3. And they swallow pigeons whole.

I agree with all above, especially the last point.  Pigeons are such peaceful and docile birds, yet not only do most humans treat them like crap, but even other birds like seagulls mercilessly harass them.   :sad:

They do tend to poop a lot all over the place like Shen says, though I can't blame them if people continue to litter too much food on the streets, aside from their fast reproduction rates they have one of the best traits out of all animals.

Yes, they are gentle. 2 types of doves bread around my area, The Senegal Dove also know as the Laughing Dove and I think the other one is the Speckled Neck Dove. The Senegal Dove has black eyes And the Speckled neck dove has Orange eyes.



this is an introduced Crested Pigeon (pigeons and the same type of bird)

No... they coo... they don't sing nor do they talk.



People usually eat them.... Not in Australia though, that is illegal.

After this covid pandemic is over, I'm so going to Oz to see all the pigeons, it's funny how most of the birds I have originated from Australia.  Great shots like these really makes my day.  ac_drinks
