Naerland nights

Another attempt at shooting the Naerland waders at night ... mostly Dunlins. It proved to be a bit cumbersome with cables hanging around everywhere. First attempt with 300/2.8 was a-okay but the images of the birds seemed a bit small due to the distance to the birds. A second attempt with the 600/4 was a complete failure ... lugging a 300 with a small tripod (for the flash) proved to be easier than lugging the monster 600 on a tripod with flash attached (including cables to the battery pack).

Perhaps the second attempt would've been a bit more successful if there was some pre-planning involved. Lessons learnt : You can't shoot the 600 impromptu and expect to get results.
