Quite a joke to bird with a 80-200.

marcwang · 10th April 2005

I was out shooting landscapes again today, and got quite bored after a while. So out came my longest lens the 80-200mmf2.8 Nikkor. I'm not a bird shooter, and I think I'll never become one given my patience and my budget, and of course... my total lack of knowledge in this field of photography. It was a joke walking around with only 200mm reach.... . Anyhow, I managed only 1 or 2 decent shots to take home, which I hope you'll enjoy.

Both shots D100/80-200f2.8AFD ED/ shot at ISO400 f3.5

Hahaha! We're almost in the same boat. I gave birding a shot too. I felt it's just not a right fit with my character - I've got no patience. That's why I really take my hat off to the regulars here in this forum.
