52Frames - Week 7 - Unexplored
I interpreted this prompt to explore a place I've never been rather than create an image that conveys not being explored. To that end, I visited a forest preserve literally 2 miles from my home that I've driven & cycled by hundreds of times yet never previously entered.
Furthermore, in preparation for my Africa trip later this year, I wanted to further explore use of the 50-400mm lens.
For true "birders", I know this image is cheating due to the feeder, but it provided a good opportunity to play with settings and burst mode. A couple of things I learned: 400mm is not long enough for birds (but I'm not buying another long lens) and 1/1000 sec is not fast enough for handheld (will try monopod + faster SS next time).
