Whilst in Malta I visited my friends the Baldacchino's who have a pigeon loft with lots of prize-wining racing pigeons. I am fascinated by how these birds who, in this case, often get dropped in Italy and manage to find their way home to a tiny little loft in the middle of a tiny little village somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. Here are a few images of their prized pigeons that I managed to grab in a quick visit to the loft. I am not sure what makes one pigeon look better than another, but if you are into pigeons you should enjoy this lot.
(Technical info - all the above were shot on the Canon S95 - kicking myself that I didn't have my 5D on me!)

ReplyDeletethought to pigeons as objects of beauty.
These really work on the neutral background away from the chattering noise/smell/movement of the pigeon loft. They all look like winners. x
