I’ve been interested in photography as a hobby for a long time and I’ve managed to get a few really good shots over time.
I can be a bit of a perfectionist and sometimes get bothered by not having a specific feature or function when I need it. Years ago I bought a micro 4/3’s mirror-less camera because I wanted to upgrade from the camera I had at the time and I wanted a small, light-weight camera. About the same time, my two boys got involved in Taekwondo and it was at tournaments that I learned the biggest short-coming of this camera, a small buffer / slow fps when in burst mode.
Recently, I decided it was time to upgrade again and this time I didn’t want to get caught without a feature that I might need at some point. This led me down the research road of buying a full size DSLR. Normally, I’m a Canon fan, but I ran across a deal on a Nikon d7500 that I could not resist.
Anyway, I wanted to share a picture that i caught during my first outing with this new camera.
Shot with a d7500 and a Nikor AF-P DX 70-300mm at 300mm f/6.3 1/500 ISO 800.
Edited in Darktable.
I’ve been looking for a decent 200mm+ lens for my Fujifilm camera for that type of shot. There’s not shortage of songbirds in my garden this time of year.
