Fully Equipped for Bird photography

This is Rick O'Shea, well equipped for photographing birds at Delta Ponds.
That is a Nikkor 600mm f/4 telephoto lens on that tripod, a beautiful pro lens.
You can see some of Rick's work on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/rick.oshea.566?fref=nf
He has an excellent collection of wildlife photographs from around Oregon. I sure enjoyed visiting with him.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Lovely shot, Vern. I could never carry that big a lens around!
Laura Milholland31-Jan-2015 07:27
Nicely shot, Vern. Yes, that is more than I would want to be lugging around these days. But if I had it, I would somehow 'make do' I'm sure! LOL

That is some big lens. This fall,I saw a few guys here with it when all the gulls were here

Thats a really heavy duty tripod! Did you consider, even a little, diverting his attention and making a run for it with the lens? Just kidding. Linda S

Looks like a Wembley head on that tripod too. I would love a gimbal head for use with my little 300mm f/4 and TC for use with birds. They are so smooth and effortless to use. I have had a gimbal head on or near the top of my want list.

What camera is he using?
parrothouse30-Jan-2015 20:01
I am envious, oh how I would love such a lens and that Gitzo tripod looks like a winter too. I will go to that link and look at his results.

Neat image I think this lens is around $6000

That lens is so big, it makes the camera look small, I bet he gets great results.
Walter Otto Koenig30-Jan-2015 15:52
Impressive lens. He's got some good shots on his facebook page. I like the camouflaged shoes.
