Tip #68: You Can Never Be Too Close

The title says it all. 

If you have enough money, you can buy your proximity for about $14,000, ...the cost of a 600mm f4.0 lens, converters and pro-body. Alternatively, brilliant feather detail is the reward for your patience during a sunrise in the hide (blind). Sadly, I am neither rich nor patient, thus I rely on my skills as a naturalist and the serendipity that accompanies my persistence. Whatever your method, move in and capture those mesmerizing avian patterns.
