A9ii + Tamron 150-500 @ 500mm. No crop this time. I was seated on my porch about 10 feet from the feeder. I truly have no idea how people who take birding more seriously do it.

    Professionals may use “hides” but there are also cameras with different optics and higher speed shutters. They also tend to understand a lot better the angles to photograph at.

    There’s an article talking about the famous kingfisher photo and the dude was out there taking shots for a few days. For documentaries like BBCs “Planet Earth” they had people in various locations sometimes for weeks-months.
