I know you have been asked this a million times but what camera are you using again? Think im gonna pull the trigger on one.
Nikon P-900
These are probably some of the worst pictures I've taken with this camera. We had almost an inch of rain the night before and everything was kind of misty gray plus this was around 500 yards away. Sometimes we just have to take what we can get. Started carrying a camera with me many years ago, I got tired of saying I wished I'd had a camera when that special shot was offered. I put it in the truck before I put the guns in. The P-900 is quick, no lenses to carry and has the zoom to really reach out, plus it will shoot as close as you want to get.
This one is almost touching the lense.
This one is about 50 yards.
This ones about a mile.
