    The Lake

    I have found a local lake less than 5 minutes drive from my house and it looks like it could be a good location for bird life.
    Definitely not up to the standard of other posters here, but I think that I'm getting the hang of things. A lot less deleted images from this mornings effort even though the lighting was not all that great. If I intend to get serious about birding I will have to get myself a decent long lens, 200mm is just not good enough for shooting birds at a distance.

    Some images from this mornings walk, C & C most welcome

    #2 I don't like wildlife images dominated by man made structures, but I thought this image was too good to pass up. This guy looks really annoyed, maybe it's all the construction going on in his back yard.

    #3 Quite a savage crop on this one, however I think that the IQ is still okay, not great. I need a long lens, and a bird book.

    Good results with a 200mm John. Imagine what you could do with a 400mm lens.

      Or a 500 or a 600 or an 800!

      Saving for one of these. Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Lens - Contemporary.
      Sell my Siggy 70-200 and 2x converter, keep the Tamron 70-200 macro.

      I'm really pleased with my Bigma so the Siggy 600 looks good from reviews.

    Not much wrong with the IQ of these GJ. I think you would love a long lens, especially for this genre. They do weigh a bit but with your new shoulder strap it makes it so much more comfortable to cart them around. You may already know but the first bird is a White Faced Heron and the last is a Pacific Black Duck. Great to see you have water in your lake. Ours is now officially bone dry and it looks bloody horrible!

    My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

    Sorry to hear that you lake has dried up Isac. Grab a cheap flight over to Melbourne with your Bigma

      It's always raining in Melbourne, according to Sidneysiders.
