Photographing in the Field

If you're going to be spending several hours out in the field in search of birds or critters you will of course have camera, tripod, extra batteries, water, snacks, etc. But something else you might need to take is toilet paper. Just sayin'.

We all love watching birds through the kitchen window. Here are some tips: remove the screen, open the window if possible, put the front of the lens as close to a closed window as possible (double-paned windows have a bad influence on focus)- and for goodness sake, clean the window.
