I don't think this counts as "wildlife" but Junko and I certainly had fun in her yard photographing a range of subjects. Memories of a great day!
Here's Junko's photo of me: https://365project.org/jyokota/challenges-and/2020-05-21
Thanks, Taffy -- it was SUCH a fun time together! And it's the only social thing I've done in 73 days. Let's hope for more socially-distanced visiting outdoors before too long.
Another fabulous professional with all the right gear. A lovely shot and composition of you and the beautiful maple tree. So wonderful that you could both enjoy each others company again.
@jamibann It was my last birthday present from my husband, too --- the 100-400. With all this backyard squirrel and bird photography this is the lens that stays on my camera 90% of the time.
@jyokota Yep it's the same one! I hired it for a week last year for Eagle photography and promised myself I'd get it one day. A year later ... it's in my bag! :-)
I don't know, @jyokota can be pretty wild given half a chance methinks! Lovely shot. Really like the two shots of the visit and it must have been so lovely to see each other's faces again in person.
sounds like that meet up was such fun - although you both look to have had very serious intent with the long lenses. Lovely to see this cheerful portrait of @jyokota
Always love seeing the artists at work. Great capture of one of our more inspiring contributors. And glad you guys were able to get together and enjoy a little togetherness.
OMG, I've just finished commenting on Taffy's @taffy long lens, and then, look at you. What wonderful women and good friends you are. I've gone in the opposite direction equipment-wise. What can't be easily carried on a wrist-strap and shoot hand-held is off my list. So good to see the gear others use and enjoy the variations.
