The weather hasn&#8217;t been great and finding subject matter (birds), this time of year, is a challenge. I did take some pictures last week but was disappointed in the quality of the images and was seriously wondering if it was worth the money. But, after talking to the people at the camera store, changing some settings on the camera, and some experimentation, I&#8217;m starting to get excited about using this lens to get some great bird pictures. Here are a few samples shots from my first few days using this lens:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_virginlake.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_virginlake.jpg\" alt=\"chickadee_virginlake\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-382\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_virginlake.jpg 980w, http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_virginlake-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_2.jpg\" alt=\"chickadee_2\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-381\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_2.jpg 980w, http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_wings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_wings.jpg\" alt=\"chickadee_wings\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-380\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_wings.jpg 980w, http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chickadee_wings-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/canadiangoose.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/canadiangoose.jpg\" alt=\"canadiangoose\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-383\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/canadiangoose.jpg 980w, http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/canadiangoose-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mallard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mallard.jpg\" alt=\"mallard\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-384\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mallard.jpg 980w, http:\/\/dev.firepowerdesign.com\/kp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/mallard-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got a new, really nice, super telephoto lens for my new camera.
