Today you can see one of the first pictures that I took after buying my 200-500 in Dezember 2021.
This was the start of my my wildlife photography passion.

Lovely capture. And a lovely bird.
It was the same for me with the 200-500 - what a joy that lens is

Yes Until I bought the telephoto camera, I was actually more of an occasional snapper who only made it to the zoo once.
But with this purchase my passion began.

Excellent

LMAO! The Vulcan salute for Kirk (James T), awesome!
Good sharpness on the pic for it being 1/500 @ 500 mm. Was it handheld?

Star Trek is my way older passion as photographing

Yes I start handhold for all wildlife pictures. But I learned fast that is really heavy when I go for a walk 2-3 hours.
I watched many YouTube videos and think you need a tripod with gimbal like all the famous photographers there.
I bough one but never used it.
I go out most time after work and than I don't want to sit in a blind and hide.
After a half year I bought a monopod and use it now for every longer walk.
