Backyard Blind - North Vancouver
Posted: Oct 10 5:50 am
Hey all, spent a few hours in the home blind this weekend with a thermos mug full of tea.
Birds have been visiting the feeders again big time so instead of taking the gear out on expedition a week before our trip south (i'm superstitious about handling camera gear much before a trip, having dropped my 500mm f4 a few times in the past so bad that it needed repairs i'm more careful now).
First day i was all about capturing the Red-breasted nuthatch action and second day i just shot whatever came in.
I still need to work on my setup, need more shrubbery against the cream-coloured fence (right now i just pinned up a green fabric backdrop) and need to get some new perches too.
All home blind shots are taken with the new Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens attached to D500, tripod and remote shutter. I don't have the space to set up the 500mm f4, space is very cramped.
Thanks for looking, and have a great week!
