I really wish people would quit showing how wonderful expensive lenses
that I can't afford are.

More work with the 150-450.I’m very pleased, although I have to admit, it’s a
hunk to hold up in shooting position for a long time. (Birds don’t like
movement. I find I have to keep the lens at my eye and aimed toward the target
to get any decent shots.. After 20 minutes or so, that lens can get quite
heavy.} I’ve had to spend a lot of time sitting outside to get the birds used
to me being there again. i had quit shooting when I had to care for my wife
24/7, and the birds forgot me. When I first tried to shoot again, they would
scatter upon seeing me and not return. They’re starting to become accustomed to
my presence again. All at f5.6, ISO 3200 and shutter speeds form 1/250th to
1/640th. The light wasn’t good, but the temperature was moderate, so I could
afford to be patient. All handheld at 450mm.
