new to birding/bird photography (1 Viewer)

i am an accomplished railroad photographer and recently have become interested in birding and bird photography. yesterday evening and some of this morning i setup my gear to capture some activity at and around my feeders.

i will have to relearn photography, my eye is clearly not sympathetic to bird photography, yet. i must say that i have seen some excellent photos that are both technically and compositionally impressive and can't imagine the work that has gone into building that skillset. having spent a few hours exploring the area of my feeders through the lens i feel like i know nothing.

is this a road i want to go down? seems the mantra might be "faster glass, faster glass"

i tip my hat to those that bring the goods.

it always comes back to the glass. the check book is pretty well frozen right now, i'd need to replace my D70 and i really am not ready to do that.
