Was able to get out back for awhile and captured a couple of my feathered friends. I used my Canon 80D with a Tamron 150-600mm G2 Lens on a new for me Manfrotto MT290 Tripod. First time out with this tripod and just wanted to update from my old heavy tripod from the 1970s. ALL C&C is welcome and detail will be with each photo. Thanks for stopping by.

Bob, I would if I could get them to fly your way. I am blessed where we happen to live in North Carolina. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment.

Thanks, Ron for your comment and for the thumbs up.
I remember you asking UHH about opinions on a tripod. I got this one with their top of the line ball head for $170.00 used. Looks new to me and included the case and everything else. Now to get used to it.

I didn't get a case with mine...bit disappointing considering what I paid for it...
The BHQ2 is a great ball head though and works great with my big lens...the ball itself is about 32mm diameter and very sturdy.

I agree on the ball head. Once I got it along with the tension knob adjusted my lens and camera would stay where I left it. So far I like both the tripod and head.

Beautiful birdie shots, Greg. Love my Manfrotto, and if Vic will carry if for me, it goes where I go. Is it my imagination, or does the little yellow-rump have an injury under his bill??
