The parrots are back, but I wasn’t quick enough. With the setting sunlight still falling on a telephone line, I saw four of the birds bunched together. By the time I could go home and fetch the Nikon Zf, dusk nipped the natural light, and the parrots were no longer perfectly posed.
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens was attached to the camera, and even this setup couldn’t close enough distance. The Featured Image and companion are both crops. vitals: f/8, ISO 400, 1/400 sec; 400mm; 5:32 p.m. PST. The other is same but 1/320 sec and one-minute later.
The parrots kick off a new month that mirrors February, which is why we get another Friday the 13th. Seeing the parrots today has me feeling lucky already. You?
