For Christmas, my wife gave me a new lens for our Canon EOS Rebel XS (a gift I had received for my birthday last May). The purpose of the new lens is to allow for better resolution close-up photos taken from a distance. Anne and I have both enjoyed looking a local birds (primarily in our backyard) for a number of years now and slowly we have gained interest in photographing them.
While the standard lens on our camera did take nice pictures, the zoom-in feature was somewhat limited. The new lens, a Tamron, extends out to allow for a higher-resolution close-up. Lacking the patience to wait for birds to land in my backyard, I stopped at Cobb Hills this morning on my way to get get coffee to take a few test shots, including the one at the top of this post.
I'm looking forward to getting out into the field with my wife this week (well, to a local park anyway) to see what we can photograph and how well the pictures come out. Any suggestions for these recreational nature photographers would be appreciated :)
