    Another subject I enjoy capturing are pigeons. They are fast and challenging, and in this, against a lovely colourful BG. Taken yesterday, at Austin Roberts, a birding spot in Pretoria.

    Very nice pigeon capture. I seldom see such nice pigeon flights. Of course that background is gorgeous. :)
