Folks, nothing fancy but yeah, I enjoyed it!

All with D7200 and 70-300 AF-P. Sigma 150-600 Contemporary is on the "next" list.
Not just for longer lens, but to have greater aperture at the same focal length as the 70-300.
Settings were generally 1/250-1/320 / f4.5 (due to lens) and Auto ISO (Loving this feature!).
Experimenting with focus: Used AF-S S, AF-C S, AF-C 9. Im liking AF-C S and 9 set to Continuous Hi,
not all images were keepers, but my keeper rate was pretty decent.. I burst of say 5 images usually
yielded 2 or 3 that were good focus.

I am ordering a bird book off Amazon now that Ive gotten more interested, so I can identify
the birds. Yeah, maybe I am becoming a senior citizen! HA HA!

I did try the a6000 with kit lens (55-200) and... no. Could not hold a light to the D7200 with 70-300 AF-P.

Yes, I know there is nothing special about the images.. No fantastic bird in flight pix, no stunning images
as they take off, and no rare breeds!

But what I did do was take a basic lens (on a fantastic body) and have a lot of fun! Been wanting to
do this for decades!

I hope you enjoy some of the images!

Andrew
