RE: testing out my new 200-600mm Lens

in GEMS4 years ago

Hahaha, "animal whisperers" you say?
Learn to love mother nature and her residents and they will love you right back my friend.
You will soon get used to their habits in your new life, as you now have ample time in your to study them.
I can tell you that once your really start to take an interest, many pleasant surprises will be waiting for you.

We have been visiting a rocky patch on the beach for a while now and the one Egret has gotten used to me.
He no longer flies away when I come near and just the other day, he caught a few fishes in the surf right in front of me. Animals can sense when someone presents a danger to them.

Blessings!

Sort:  

yes I know your right, for now i am hoping the humming birds get used to me so I can get a little closer in for shots of them

that's so cool with the Egret

Difficult to get the humming birds without a strong zoom methinks.
We have tiny songbirds here that are the same size and I can get them on my zoom.
In fact, yesterday I got a "Swee" bird taking a shower under a high water overflow pipe.

So, you saw my post today with the Egret?

I have a good zoom now out to 600mm may get a teleconverter to extend it a little further sometime

Have some ok shots to share if hummingbirds

Off to check your post

👍

Yeah, that zoom will do it JJ.
Do you guys have a hummingbird feeder bottle?
If you do then you can place the bottle in an ideal spot for your camera.

Blessings!

Yes we have two of them I am letting the birds get used to us and will slowly move closer lol

Good news and one of these days I am sure that we are going to have pure JJ style photos again.

Blessings to you guys and Good Night my friend!

Good night or perhaps good morning when you see this
