A9ii + Tamron 150-500 @ 500mm. No crop this time. I was seated on my porch about 10 feet from the feeder. I truly have no idea how people who take birding more seriously do it.
How they do what?
I think my question is one rooted in how close can you actually get, how much reach do you need, and how heavily are you cropping?
From my experience, if you want frame filling tack sharp photos you’re likely pretty close. Does than mean that you observe a good place to station yourself and then spend a decent amount of time for birds to acclimate to your presence? Or is there something else going on?
Wow, great shot! I love it! Such cool bird action
