Fantastic shots! I really enjoyed looking at them. Thanks.
Your bird images are outstanding !! Such a beautiful job of capturing the color and detail. Great work.

Took a three day trip to the TX coast to photograph some migratory birds. These were all shot with my new lens, the Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF on my D500. Pretty happy with the results. Missed the zoom a little (previously used the 200-500mm) but I’m learning to zoom with my feet!
Beautiful set of such gorgeous subjects.
Really nice, especially the first two.

Laura: The complementary colors in #1 make
it a quantum leap above the great majority of bird photos.
Those are absolutely stunning. May I ask a question from the amateur side of things? Do you find using a straight telephoto lens simplifies setting up your shots? Let me use an analogy, I find many people who shoot firearms with adjustable sights, tend to constantly play with the sights. Those with fixed sights, tend to adjust them once and just shoot. So, that being said, do you find when using a zoom lens you play with the shot a bit more than with the telephoto? Does using the single large lens allow you to set up the shot more quickly, reduce missed shots, and improve the overall quality of the shot in general? Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, and your thoughts.
