According to King Solomon, his beloved Shulammite is beautiful as a dove. So I tried to observe in our backyard the beauty of a zebra dove. I really have difficulty taking a sharp shot of this bird because it doesn't stay in one place. It is always on the move looking for food. And its head is always moving. Grrrr!

Hi Mark, shooting a moving subject at 1/80 sec will surely give a very slim chance of capturing your subject tack sharp even if you try to pan and follow it while shooting. If you were close enough to the bird, try not to use your zoom on the longest end, try to pull out a bit to be able to shoot it at at larger aperture, so you can increase your shutter speed to at least 1/200 or faster (depending on the lighting condition). Of course, even at lower speeds, the bird might just stop for a second and while firing at a high frame rate, you might just get one good clear shot.. a wider framed, sharper shot can still be cropped closer for better composition. A closer, softer shot may not be usable. Shot number 3 came out good!
