Long Distance-photography

Since it was quite nice weather today, I figured I went out to shoot some photos.
I took out my 50mm lens and my 70-300mm telelens. I also took my tripod with me so that I could shoot some long distance photos without the blur of not being able to steady the camera.

Today, I found out that taking photos of birds really is quite a nice thing to do and can be quite challenging. I had my tripod with me and I tried to shoot some photos with the camera on it, but you really have to be quick to focus and zoom.
You also have to be quite patient since the bird will never sit still in the position you want it to be.. But when it does, shoot!

Here's a photo of a bird I just made with the telelens:


The quality isn't that good on this size but oh well.


I've also been using the 50mm lens to basically get some macro photos and this is what I got from that:



Be sure to check out my blog again today, I will be posting something about the stars and how to photograph them. Also how to see them moving around the earth. It's really quite extraordinary!
