I started down with these two bird watchers the other day and a few photographers to get the painted buntings picture. I quickly made my way back up thinking I might be able to get a better shot and I did. These two birders stayed behind and would direct us to where he was on the wall in the foreground of this picture. Having my 150-500mm on the camera I quickly pulled out my phone to capture this shot. It was so nice how everyone helped each other see the little painted bunting.
What a great shot. You climbed up pretty high to capture those spotters! The photography community is exceptional nice. Every time I go to the park, I have people pointing to me what they are seeing when I walk up, or provide me with advise of my shooting settings.
Unbelievable climb involved in your excursion! Terrific capture of the lengths you go to for your great photos!
