Namibian Birds – Well how do I start.
Those of you who know me well know that I love to photograph birds. I didn’t realise that birding would play such an important part in my trip to Namibia, but I was wrong coming home with more than just a handful of species.
There are about 600 birds species native to Namibia. I think I managed to capture about 10% of these. Most are just record shots but others I’m very happy with. You could easily make birding your primary reason for a trip to this Namibia.
I should mention that 90% of these images were taken with a full frame camera and a 70-200mm f2.8 lens with a 1.4x converter attached. I was resting my camera on the vehicle for most of the photos. Because I can’t hold the camera steady with much over a 200mm focal length I really need to use a tripod when ever I can.
