[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 507544, member: 14174"] When we get some one asking about getting into bird photography we mostly try to point them at the longer lenses,lots of times they struggle to see why,after all the 70-300 they are thinking about buying is a lot longer than the 18-55 they got with there camera. It would be nice if others would contribute to this thread with examples showing full image,crop,format,subject distance and focal length,or as much of this information as they can. My first one is a stonechat,the bird is 11-13cm,i was at about 10ft with a 600mm lens on DX giving the field of view equal to 900mm on FX. First the full image.
