Title: Flexing the long telephoto!
Post by: hayath on February 27, 2024, 12:16:57 AM
A swift dash to Keoladeo bird sanctuary in Rajasthan, India to break out of the recent rut!
Haven't started a nature trip this under-prepared and rusty.

Some images to share, will post further sets in the coming posts.

Very nice set. Definitely 3rd one stands out for me. The glow around the head is quite nice.
How do you find the 100-400? I'm not a tele shooter but I am considering giving long range photography a try. FF tele lenses are too heavy considering I'm not getting any younger. A 50-200 also seems very handy.
