Wow, someone actually reads my blog!...Hi Victoria!<br /><br />Wow, someone actually reads my blog!!! I get so few comments I've been wondering if anyone did and seriously considering stopping it. And yeah, those birds a tiny you have to glue their feet to the branch to make them stand still while you photograph them, that's the trick. Either a really long lens or really fast hands and a good hot-glue gun. Personally, being lazy, I've got a collection of stuffed birds that I just wire up in a pretty tree and shoot all day from a lawn chair while eating a chicken sandwich. Sometimes other birds fly in to see what's going on, but I shoo them away so they don't ruin my compositions. jwJeff Wignallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930381716253374117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427474944010276816.post-74299234564534287062010-12-01T09:31:22.216-08:002010-12-01T09:31:22.216-08:00What about if I want it all? ;-) Seriously though,...What about if I want it all? ;-) Seriously though, the list you posted of things to think about is REALLY GREAT! (in my case, I went with Nikon because it's what I know... and picked the D90 SLR because it could take the lenses from my D55 film camera and I wasn't ready yet to spring for a newer telephoto... which I'm now seriously considering after realizing distant images of birds were lacking with current equipment. (Thanks for the nice note the other day with suggestions for fall foliage locations in New England... do let me know if you ever decide to organize a photo shoot in that area... who knows... I might just come up for it!)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.com
