March 7, 20214 yr The Spring birds are starting to arrive, and I have to get my gear ready for taking pictures. This always has its challenges. First, I've got to get everything I need, and then I have to dust it off, and then I need to test it. One of the challenges is that the birds show up in the early morning and it can be very cold here -- BATTERY PROBLEMS!!! I've got three cameras -- each with a remote control. I've got three lenses: a Sigma 500mm APO f7.2, a Yashica 500mm f8 CAT, and a Tokina 650mm f8.5 CAT. I've got to get up early and set these up quickly -- on tripods -- and pre-focus everything as these are manual-focusing lenses. The cameras control the exposure, and I control when they fire. I have my fingers crossed.
