Vikas, what lens are you shooting with on these beautiful photos?
Thank You. Been using the 100-400 F4-5.6 II for all these photos.
Next item to buy is the 1.4 extender. Soon I think.
I LOVE that lens. Nice to see it doing such beautiful work. How close were you to the subjects? I bought a hunting blind to use in the field so I can get closer. Now I'm just waiting for the heat to let up lol!
Have to confess it’s my favourite lens.
For the Kingfisher shot I’d say I was about 15 feet away
For the Indian SilverBill photos about 5 feet away
For the Oriental WhiteEye, approximately 10 feet away
I should get me a hunting blind too for the winter. 👍🏼
That's amazing that you can get that close! Birds here in the midwest U.S. are too skittish to tolerate such close distance - at least where I love. Plus we are in a moderate drought right now, so many of the birds have moved elsewhere looking for reliable water supplies. I'll have to expand my search for more dependable sites. Thanks again for sharing those beautiful photos.
