I’ve always admired bird photographers and their extreme dedication to their craft. It takes one heck of a photographer to sit in one place for minutes or even hours on end with their bad-ass heavy lenses weighing them down and wait for these creatures to pose for their cameras.

The closest I can get to this type of photography is when nature throws me a fortuitous medium-sized bird (it’s got to be medium-sized, smaller than that and you won’t probably recognize it as a bird on my camera’s LCD screen) willing to sit still for a minute while I panic to fish out my camera from my bag, screw in my teleconverter lens and aim without these finicky animals flying away.
