Well, it is only about 95 degrees today, which is a few degrees less than the previous days, but it is still very hot and dry. With new fires popping up what seems to be each day, being inside in the air conditioning seems like a better plan. But I decided to brave the afternoon heat and get outside to take some photos.
At the park where my wife and I usually go on our evening walks, there are a lot of birds flying around and I was hoping to catch some in flight today, but I think it was still a bit to early for them. They seem to only come out during the last few hours before sunset, which could make for some really cool photos when I am able to take them.
It must have been too early and hot for the birds to be out flying around because when I got to the spot where the sparrows fly close to the ground, there were no birds out. I am hoping to get a longer lens soon so that I can get up close shots of the birds in action. Right now, my lenses only go up to 100mm, and that won't get me nearly as close as I was hoping for.
Hopefully our bear market doesn't last too much longer because I really want to get another Tamron 150-600. I used to have that lens, but I ended up selling it a few years ago when I was doing more video work and I bought a bunch of cinema lenses, but now I am hoping to get another and do more wildlife photos.
