Behind The Lens

Location

I made the photo in East Tennessee near a TVA dam

Time

Middle of the day

Lighting

The weather was mild and overcast so there were no shadows

Equipment

Nikon D7100 with a Tamron 160-600 mm lens . handheld

Inspiration

I like to take bird pictures and it was one I didn't have.

Editing

Good question. I guess there was some cropping

In my camera bag

Nikon D810 with a Nikon 28-300 Nikon D500 with a Tamron 160-600

Feedback

I like the D500 and the Tamron lens for birding the quality is mostly good. The gear is heavy so a mono pod is good. I seldom use a tripod for birding it is too bulky but it can be done. Small birds are very flighty and hopping around . Handheld can be done with this equipment but I am almost 75 years old and shaky so I need some assistances .
