There are particular photos I *want* - photos that are a little challenging, that I know require the right mix of being in the right place at the right time, and having the technique down. This flying kākāriki is one of those shots! They fly so rapidly that I've never managed to get a good flight shot until this one. Do you have photos you really want to make, and are just waiting for the right opportunity?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Red-crowned kākākriki | 2019⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #birdventurenz #parrotsofinstagram #nzbirds #birdventure #conservationphotographer #raw_birds #your_best_birds #birds_adored #birds_brilliance #treasureislands #docgovtnz @docgovtnz @forestandbird @nikonnz #nikonnz #nikond500 #nikon200-500 #wildnz #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #eye_spy_birds #nuts_about_birds #aotearoa #explorenz #nzmustsee #kings_birds #conservation #nzwildlife #newzealand #discoverearth #wanderwonder #islandlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B24ydmhJUSy/?igshid=1rfq19pzmc06k

Tamron 150-600mm G2　というレンズ

シャインオンのために買ったレンズなのですが

パークでフルサイズだと絶対に欠かせないレンジですよね。

APS-Cだと選択肢おおいのですが…

候補としては、古い150-600、SIGMA150-600各種、NIKON200-500

あたりがあったのですが

まずズームはTAMRONの印象が良かったのでSIGMAは外しました（単焦点はSIGMAばかり）

Nikonとも迷ったんですが、ハーバーのことを考えると100ｍｍの差は大きいなと思いTAMRONの二種から選ぶことに。

TAMRON二種に関しては値段差が当時で4万円くらいあったと思います。

色んな人の評価や写真を見た結果古いほうは望遠端が甘いとかんじまして。

あとは外観のデザインもちょっとわるかったのもあり最新のにしました。

Full moon shot with the new Nikon lens. One of the best parts of IG is getting to interact with people all over the planet. And no matter where you are - Norway, England, Ireland, Guam, South Africa, Phillipines, Taiwan, Canada, Belgium or the US - we all look up and see the same moon every night. Makes the world a little smaller. And so does reading! Have a great day wherever you are! 😄 #fullmoon #moonshot #itsasmallplanet #bookstagram #nikon610 #nikon200-500 (at Irmo, South Carolina)

Used my new 200-500 Nikon lens this past week. Images are very sharp. So nice to be able to get so much closer to the actions. This is from the Chapin vs LR softball game. #nikon #nikonlens #nikon200-500mm #sportsphotography #highschoolsoftball #highschoolsports #highschoolsportsphotography #fastpitch #chapineagles #chapinhighschool #chapinsoftball
