    Think the neighbours might complain if I start shooting the birds on their roof with a rifle instead of a camera!

    Cheers @phillipgr, I use a Nikon D7000 SLR. Most of the bird photos are shot with either a Tokina 400mm f5.6 or Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 lens.

    Cool mate. Most of that is a foreign language to me but interesting nonetheless. I get to see some pretty awesome stuff when I head into the hills; sometimes I think I should invest in a good camera to capture some of it.
    Yeah nah bro

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
