I've often tried to get a shot of a Dove taking off or in flight. I rarely succeed. They're just too darn fast! So, to get this shot, I cranked up my shutter speed to 1/8000 and lowered my aperture to f/4 and shot away! The background is the mountains in the distance.

I collapsed the legs on my tripod to use it as a monopod because I do not yet have a head for my 500mm lens. Nonetheless, I was able to capture this dove just after take off in Anza Borrego Desert May 22, 2010.Patricia Ware Bird Photography
