April 13: Creamers Field with a 50mm

Stopped at Creamers Field this afternoon to try to get some pictures of the birds. I’m not a big birder and my abilities at identification are as simple as I can tell the difference between a duck from a goose and a raven, but I thought I would photographing them a try.

I only had my 50mm lens but thought I’d try and see what I could get. I’m pleased with the results, given I wasn’t really trying or sure of what I was doing. I also need to work out how to see through the viewfinder when I zoom since I need reading glasses these days and fussing with sunglasses, eyeglasses and the viewfinder turned out to be trickier than I thought it would be.

I’m waiting for the 55-210 to arrive and plan to do some more research before I head back out.

Sony a6000 with a 16-500mm kit lens on automatic focus.
