Title: Working the kinks out
Post by: boneaddict on October 30, 2023, 07:20:19 AM: Kinda glad I didn’t run into any super monsters yesterday. Working with some new gear, and trying to brush the dust off myself, I missed a whole bunch of shots.

What’s your current setup and how close do you have to the animal in order to get photos looking this close? Currently using a kowa 883 with my iPhone but it’s a pain to haul around setup and ready to take photos , and the clarity/focus just isn’t always there(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231030/bad0e14d1a980f4031c1655734ed7fcb.jpg)

He was bedded at about 10 yards. Unfortunately I had the wrong set up in my hand which was the 400. I needed the 70-200 but it was in my pack. He stood up and meandered on. I paralleled above him at about 20 yards for this full frame shot. 30 yards is about perfect for the 400.
