p.61 #1 · Nature and Wildlife image thread - a Sequel

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. I was sitting down on the bank of a creek slowly inching on my butt forward a little at a time. There was some Least and Spotted Sandpipers in front of me on the shore, small brown birds that are hard to get close to and photograph. A guy on a kayak was further down the creek fishing and he started moving towards me. He flushed a Long-billed Curlew that landed right in front of me. 600GMf4 would be better for those small birds and even with the 1.4x though, but yeah still stuck between rock and hard place.

Killer shots of those Violet-green swallows and cute chestnut-backed chickadee. I miss them, used to get them in my yard when I lived in WA state.

Some are with the A1ii - if the image filename starts with DG1 it's an A1ii image and if it starts with DGB it's an A9iii image.

From yesterday, heavy crop. I committed a sin, sold my 600 GM.

. I used the 300GM+2X TC way more often than the 600 GM.
