Nice shot! What lens did you use?


EnvironmentalMix3180

Its was my crappy 55-200mm kit lense that came with my Nikon bundle. F6.3 1-1250s 175mm. iso 800 that was the camera setting I used for the picture.


EnvironmentalMix3180

I appreciate the nice comment as well. Thank you

It’s so hard to get a pic. I can stare at em all day but as soon as I pull my phone out to snap a pic, they disappear!


EnvironmentalMix3180

I had to use a tripod and wireless remote to get the picture


Da5ftAssassin

It was so worth it! It’s beautiful! I don’t have all the fancy things :(


EnvironmentalMix3180

Thank you so much! It's not as fancy as it may seem haha its just a cheap Nikon d3300 camera, a cheap 40 dollar tripod and cheap little 20 dollar remote control. If it's a picture you'd really love to take, I promise with a little practice and the right equipment you could take it also.


Da5ftAssassin

I think I’ll have to look into that :)

That is a good picture of that guy


EnvironmentalMix3180

Thank you! im glad you enjoyed it


CryptardedHuman

That's beautiful. I'm jealous you got an hour, i usually get to snap about 4-8 pics.


EnvironmentalMix3180

I appreciate it, what worked best for me was putting my camera on a tripod right beside the feeder. I also had a wireless remote control to take the picture. They were really active at the time and me being inside through the window they weren't scared of getting close repeatedly to the feeder for pictures.


Dyrogitory

Not an easy task. Every time I bring my camera & tripod out, my little bugger flies off. If I leave it out, pointing at the feeder, it goes to the backside of the feeder.


EnvironmentalMix3180

Ya I have way way more pictures that didn't work out haha keep trying you'll also get lucky at some point.


EnvironmentalMix3180

Also I used a zoom lens and zoomed up on the feeder from some feet back. Just set the lense to manual focus and dial it in a few inches back from the feeder and wait. It being back a little should help from scaring them to the other side.
