Albino

It's often happens that an object for the photography comes completely unexpected and by surprise! Two weeks ago I was going to a grocery store when I saw two beautiful albino doves on a lawn, right next to the store, together with other doves searching for seeds. As it's not often to see albino doves in Dublin right after the store I came to home and returned back with my camera and some bird seeds.

The doves were a bit shy, particularly when the cars were riding on road next to the lawn and all birds were flying away to a nearby building. It took some time to make them more interested in seeds which I brought with me and then I was able make right photos.

Usually it's not very easy to photo-shoot completely while subjects and set correct exposure to preserve all the details. But the sun is a very rare "guest" in Ireland during autumn and winter months. So with quite cloudy weather which creates very soft shadows I was able to make photos which are preserving all feather details.

Simple and common, but very beautiful birds photographed next to a Tesco grocery store. The nice and unexpected story and experience to make photos!
