Mourning Dove Eggs

Photograph by Matt Blaze

May 8, 1999. Palo Alto, California. The nest went unattended for as long as half an hour at a time, revealing two white eggs. Only one of them ultimately hatched. Image taken on 35mm Fuji Velvia (RVP) film in natural light with a Nikkor AF 80-200mm F/2.8 zoom lens attached to a Nikon F3 camera body mounted on an Arca-Swiss B1 ball head atop Bogen 3221 tripod legs. Digitized with a Nikon LS-2000 film scanner and converted to JPEG with Adobe Photoshop 5.0. Copyright © 1999 by Matt Blaze. All rights reserved.
