TAKE A STEP BACK
Jane says “I came upon this lovely pair on a walk through the bush at Byron Bay”.
Thanks for sharing this photo, Jane; it is a great reminder of just how capable some of those smaller sensor superzoom cameras are. This photo was made at the equivalent focal length of 1200mm in the 35mm format (my longest lens is just 300mm) and it really gets us close to these tawny frogmouths. My only concern though, is that we are almost too close. Given the chance I would have zoomed back ever so slightly, just enough so that we can see a little more of where the birds are nesting and enjoy how the feathers on the adult bird look remarkably like the bark on that tree. Zooming back about 10-percent
