Further proof that you dont need a long zoom lens to take good wildlife pics. Goldfinch Starling parent feeding youngster, had to wait 4 hours for this shot! Bluetit in motion New table is popular (i cheated a bit and combined 3 pics here as I only have 1 pair of bluetits) The 100-300 will get its chance to fight back if the weather holds tomorrow as i'm planning to go to Sepreth wildlife park. Any C&C welcome John
some great shots here, amazed at what you could do! did you have to get quite close in to get these shots? and wait quite a while to get them? Rich
hehe, yeah it kinda helps when you have 3 bird tables hanging off your window sill Great shots though and good improvisation to setup your tables
Having that setup does help yes That said the vast majority of bird shots you see in publications are shot at very close range, I went to a talk by Michael Leach, http://www.michael-leach.co.uk/ a top wildlife photographer and he never shoots beyond 200mm. His argument is that these days any idiot can use a camera, the skill is getting in the right place, or creating the right situation, to get the shot.
