Heyy!!!
Have I got a treat for you guys now!
I went shooting near to a local swimming beach on the lake Joutjärvi. I still had the same vintage (Super Carenar MC 1:2.8 f=135mm) lens I discussed Yesterday, on the nose of my camera, and while I was walking there trying to hear and see little birdies high in the birch trees, I suddenly noticed some "lumps" in a nearby pine.
I walked nearer, and what did I find?
These guys:
Common wood pigeon :: Sepelkyyhky (Columba palumbus)
Quite nice, wouldn't you think?
I shot a bunch of other photos, but I'll still be editing for a while before posting them.
Thanks for supporting me and my 365 project! I appreciate it a lot!
See you guys! :)

@gamer00,
Wow these pigeons looks so great! No doubt about your skills of photography! Actually I would like to propose you to contact magazines which are sharing nature photography! You can be a billionaire in short time then!
Cheers~

"Thanks for supporting me and my 356 project! I appreciate it a lot!"
You surely mean 365. Probably you were tired, when you posted this.
It's completely understandable. You invest a lot of time, effort and work into your posts/photos.
But maybe you just accidentally made a typo.
Either way, here is my opinion about this post:
I like that both of the birds are well detailed as well as the branches, where they are sitting on, so yes, it's a quite nice macro photo.
The photo, as it is close to nature, gives me a calming feeling.
I immediately imagined the sounds of the forest, the nature and the songs of the birds.

Yep, you are right, it was a typo on my part. I fixed it now.
Yea it kinda does have a soothing feeling to it. Thanks for the nice assessment. :) It's great that you always find time to actually comment on my photos, and I thank you for that too!

Brother, that lens has been blessed by God, it has brought us very good images and surely we will have it in the box of memories. As for the photos, they are still good, so you can capture all those beautiful moments and show them to people like me who really appreciate the photos of nature

Very nice ambience! They seem to be waiting for you!
They are beautiful and have deeper and vevety colours! Our wood pigeons are very grey and brown.
This old lens still works perfectly! Sharp and clear photo!

Hi gamer. Don't people eat Wood pigeon. I am sure I saw it on the menu in France. Nice shot. Spring time is the nesting time.

It's good idea to frame your shot putting one pigeon on the left and one on the right to achieve a balance. But I also like the trees at the background. They looks brighter than the birds. And the blue color behind the trees, is that the lake?

Pigeons, one of my favorite birds. I used to have hundreds of them before. I had to sell them off because I was busy with other things at that time, but I will definitely still breed them in future.

Hey buddy. It's a good shot seeing from the point of view that you're doing with that lens type, here where I'm really not working with that type of lens but I have a movie camera with an 18-55 mm lens and I know it's not something easy .. good take, I really enjoy your photography work.

I used to have a pigeon as a kid.. it got stuck in the pipes at my block and we adopted it until it grew up. Never thought of it but I've never seen a pigeon on a tree I think.. they always seem to hang around ceilings or just walk casually around the street.

Thank you!
Basically you will have to keep shooting photos. There are some basic rules you'll have to learn first, but as soon as you have internalized them (and how your camera works), photographing will become automatic, and then every photo you shoot, will take you closer to perfection.

Yes, pretty amazing. If I'm really honest, I didn't think I could do it. And now I am just doing it. It doesn't feel awkward to shoot photos daily, like it did in the beginning. It basically feels a lot more natural now.

If you want to take photos, the quality of your gear doesn't really matter. Any camera can be used to learn composition and perspective.
The truth is no-one is going to take breathtaking bird photos from the first day they are starting to shoot photos, no matter how many thousands or tens of thousands dollars, euros or whatever they invest in their gear.
One needs to learn the basics first, and any camera will teach you those, even a crappy cellphone camera.
Oh, and if you know what you are doing, even a crappy cellphone camera will produce quite decent images.
When I was just starting to learn photography, I watched quite a few photography videos on YouTube, and came across many (by such photographers as Jared Polin, Dom Bower, Tony & Chelsea Northrup among others) that talked about starting up, and particularly about the misconception beginner photographers have about gear, and how it magically makes their photos better. And how such notions are simply not true.
One series in particular I found interesting, was the DigitalRev TV's humorous "Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera Challenge" that actually made me understand that basically any camera can be used to take good photographs. I actually recommend you watch some episodes to get the idea!
Maybe you'll find it inspiring. :) Feel free to check out the other linked people too.

Glad to receive your greatest photography collection of birds. This is also amazing creativity. You taken it on time with terrific reaction of them. Below bird looking around your camera and nice shoot from him/her. I guess you keep better communication with nature objects. Just awesome.

It seems to be very sharp, even wide open, this lens produces nice warm coloured photos and creamy bokeh, the dark areas seem to have a slight purple tint. What do you think about that?

It's probably the same problem that I have with the 75-300 lens, it creates some chromatic aberration. It isn't as pronounced as on the Canon EF 75-300mm.
But are you talking about this particular photo or some other photo? I couldn't find much CA in this one.

I enjoying the journey with you. Lots of people find pigeons boring, but there as so many species and they are such docile birds that it's not surprising that they get equated with peace.
Catch very many pigeons in the right light and they light up with a kaleidoscope of colours.
Looking forward to your next find

Hi @gamer00, I remember my childhood I used one little pigeon. But unfortunately those bird didn't stay long term. Only two weeks with me and then died.
For me, I didn't see before like this pigeons. You catch some big guys of Common wood pigeon. You take click very closely them and indeed powerful quality. Great photography ending.
