The attentive sparrow

Occasionally I have to include a picture taken with my trusty Nikon gear. I did take it out around the neighborhood yesterday, and the weight just about killed me. I’ve concluded it’s only for use when my sherpa is accompanying me ;-).

What a difference a week makes! posted earlier

Good practice on the sparrows !
I used to have a sherpa like Tim but when he retired he decided to get into photography and he quit the sherpa job ! ;-)

I know how you feel Helen, my Nikon gear feels incredibly heavy too. But on this occasion it was well worth your while - a beautifully sharp and detailed
image!

This is quite good. Yes, the Nikon does deliver better quality. And every photographer needs a sherpa ~V~
