as this afternoon has turned damp and drizzle is upon us it has to be my test shots with my (new) Nikon Zf + FTZ + Nikon 600mm f4, (which was always my "birding" lens), with shots taken this morning
I have a new subject in the back garden = a pair of Dunnocks, sometimes called hedge sparrows, and surprisingly they seem content with me pointing this big lens at them
"Birds" used to be a hot topic on here, and one of my favourite subjects - in the past there was lots of critique and sometimes arguments and even worse - so much so that several members received their "walking cards" and have vanished into the dusk, which was probably a pity in some ways, but it did get out of hand - so now images just get posted with the odd comment.
I don't think the Zf is a body for "birding" - probably never intended to be as the other Z's are probably more suitable - don't get me wrong I really like the Zf but I've bought it to use with the 40mm f2 as a general purpose camera - easy to carry, attractive which takes great images
A dull day today so the shots are at f4 and ISO 1400 - crops, so background NR has been applied when they were processed in LR
