Rare BIF - not a birder

A lucky shot. Took my longest lens, a 50-140mm, to the nature center.

Nice! Careful…it’s very easy to get sucked into the birding thing! It seems like all my photography friends are into it. I’ve been dodging that bullet for a while. They almost had me with the puffins and hummingbirds but I stayed strong.

Canadian geese get just about everywhere....

It is a thrill to catch the action. Very tempted getting a longer lens.

Love watching the geese!

Nice shooting! It's only a matter of time before you're out there like the rest of us, being out smarted by birds!

Those birds are smart! Very tempting to get a longer lens.

I love this shot! I like the motion of the wings, and also the background bird, though he's kissing the top of the frame a little. But for as quickly as you had to move to get this one, I'd say well done!

Go on, keep trying. Get that lens!!

Blurry wings are good otherwise the comp is too static. As for that other lens, sometimes it is harder to capture a bird moving with something longer because the longer the lens, the more it exaggerates the motion but o for it. It opens up so many more avenues.

Thanks! I agree sitting high in the frame. I cropped out the water line above the bird because it was distracting.

Thanks! Thanks for the lens tip.

Thanks! It was a lucky shot. I didn't have my shutter speed up high for flying objects
