I have a massive 500mm lense (i did protogrsphy for awhile, adn bought a great zoom lense) so I can sit back and still get closeup shots- the swing is far enough away that they don’t dive bomb us- they feel co fortsble going in and out of the house- we garden right by their homes, so they get pretty used to seeing. Us there. If we get too close, they stay perched nearby until we move to other section of garden. Haven’t had them dive bomb us yet thankfully
That’s awesome. I have a bridge camera since I don’t know much about photography and can’t really afford something more expensive. My husband says we can, but I can’t justify the cost. I don’t plan on selling my photos or anything, so I don’t see the point in getting a new camera with better lenses. This one is sufficient for me. Maybe one year I will improve and will be ready to take more cool shots with something better.
The birds don’t mind me being outside near them unless I make it too obvious that I’m snooping. They forgive me quickly.
