Bird photography for the lazy man.

I set the camera up with a long lens on a tripod on the patio, with a wireless shutter release fitted:

The Nikkor 400mm f/5.6 ED IF Ai-S lens on the Nikon D800.

Then I repaired to the office whence I have a great view of the bird box and banged away when the bird(s) arrived. Now if only I could get something better than a common sparrow ….

The view from the home office.

And here are a couple of happy results:

Common sparrow.

Common sparrow with prey.

Nikon D800, 400mm f/5.6 ED IF Nikkor at f/22 on a Linhof S168 tripod.

I made the box from odd wood scraps and it has been nothing but a joy.
