I have sat for hours freezing the proverbials and come away with if I'm lucky one good shot. A friend of mine has a mobile hide complete with stool, coffee etc. and I'm amazed at the results he has recorded with only a 75-200mm lens. Please don't expect to go for a ramble and get text book shots, patience and frustration goes hand in hand with photography as I've found out. Good luck Dave |
That's excellent advice- most of which I know but I'm struggling to accept (if that makes sense). I do see it as a challenge- if I want to be a photographer, I can't just 'take Winter off' so I want to learn how to make the most of the low light! I think it's a time of year where you take the camera off of AV and get it on full manual.
