Today morning temperature was -16C and very cold wind from North. When photographing birds in this kind of weather it is important to keep appropriate distance and not to disturb the birds in any way. Long lens is a must! Gear: E-M1X + M.Zuiko 300/4 (+ MC 20).
Silent swans in early morning close-up pics couple of days ago. Gear: M1X + M.Zuiko 300/4, C-AF + Bird Tracking. Bird tracking works very fine also with these kind of tight close-up pics, tracking focuses to bird’s eye.
Saturday morning at home yard bird feeder. I put a lightweight pop-up hide near the feeder and at last I got a few decent pics of bullfinch. Gear: E-M1X + M:Zuiko 300/4, Walimex pop-up hide.
I spent a day in Finnature‘s golden eagle hide in Utajärvi. Great facilities there too! This time there was only one golden eagle and so there was no chances to shoot any action pics, but it is a great beautiful bird! Gear: E-M1X + M.Zuiko 300/4 and E-M1 Mark III + M.Zuiko 40-150/2.8 + MC-14.
