...but a good lens sure as hell does help. I am much more impressed with the quality of the image crops than my attempt at capturing the images. I know the 200mm isnt really made for this, but this is all I have for now. Can't wait to get the 300mm.
This little guy has a nest outside my front door on top of a pillar under the overhang. It happens every spring, there will be chicklets in a matter or weeks. I want to capture images of this progressions, but I don't wanna stress the birds out. Every time I open the door she flies away and into this tree. If I stay in the doorway too long, the father shows up. I will try and get him tomorrow, I didn't want to stress them out too much two days in a row. [Orkin man and FedEx man yesterday]
