I was always interested in photography and birds, but when I was young I didn't have the money, and then when I was older I had the money, but not the time. A couple of years ago I got made redundant and discovered that one one wanted to employ as 59 year old antique as I was then so I decided to retire. I initially got a scope and bins but felt that there should be more to it than just looking at birds, so I bought a Nikon 4500. That's when the frustration set in. I have got a bit better with digiscoping but still end up with lots of pictures of birds tails!! So I then invested in a 20D and the 100-400 lens. Now I feel a bit like the expression "all mouth and no trousers" that is, I have all the kit but not much experience. Maybe trying to master both digiscoping and DSLR photography at the same time is too much?
But.....I am finding this forum and BirdForum an invaluable source of knowledge and am so grateful to all the experts who take the time and trouble to respond to questions. The only problem is that there is so much information that it takes time to find it all. At least one upside of the recent bad weather is that it has given me some time!!
