Like you, I'm just learning about bird photography. The Nikon Z8 has a DX mode that effectively adds 1.5 to to the focal length and presumably helps with auto-focus. Luckily, there is quite some time to practice and improve in this difficult sport between now and next summer when my wife and I will join you and Andy Mumford in Ecuador.
Hello Tom, Great that you're joining us for what will be a real epic adventure! We will have plenty of time for birds, and maybe we can even convert Andy into a birder 😉. I seldom use the crop mode, as I can easily do the same crop at home and control the framing better!
Beautiful images! Looks as good as any professional bird photographer I'd say.
Thanks David! Always fun to try new subject matters!
