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.
