The Joys of a Zoom Lens- Laughing Dove

Posted on June 29, 2009
Laughing Dove

It rained four drops on Sunday but even that brought out quit a few birds. This Laughing Dove was sitting on the ledge of the house behind ours. Oh! The joys of having a zoom lens finally. I wonder why it took me too years to buy a zoom lens after buying my SLR.

    Thank you Megha, this is the maximum zoom my lens would give. And I was already leaning out from my balcony, a little more and I would have fallen off.
