Penrivers has me in a bird mood.

Wow, nice birds, AAAndrew, I would love to have a professional 600 mm lens, instead I have a 55-300 from walmart.

[AAAndrew]

Thanks!

 

I shot the first one with an 18-250 but he was really low (as you can see from the angle). The light was great so I could go pretty fast

The second was shot with an inexpensive 55-200. The light was really good, the bird was standing still, and in a zoo (I know, I cheated) so I could get really close to him.

 

I think it was Ansel Adams who said something like "A good photograph is knowing where to stand"

 

If I'm going somewhere to take pictures, sometimes I'll take a prime lens (usually a 50mm) and force myself to see what kind of picture I can get from where I can stand. Yeah, there are times it would definitely be great to have a big, long lens, but you can still do a lot with what you've got, as you show with your good pictures.

So true.
