Another very nice and sunny day. A bit cold but was doable for 2h standing outside and watch the birds at the feeder place. All pictures using the D800 and the Tamron 150-600 at f6.3 on Feisol CT-3442 with Arch Swiss D4 Head.

Birds in the backyard
Finally some nice weather today. The first time to try out the Tamron 150-600 in good conditions. Using the D2x this time. All mounted on Berlebach UNI-16 with Arca Swiss D4. Pretty good sharpness with open aperture on this camera.
