2024 Images - February

In February, my bird photography adventures expanded significantly compared to January. I had the privilege of collaborating with the talented visiting photographer, Mark Phillips from ARTstudioWILD. Mark generously shared valuable tips and insights, enriching my photographic journey. The result is a mix-bagged of images for February's galllery, all captured with Canon 7D Mark II and a Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM and edited with Lightroom 5. See the images below.
