Yeah, I can certainly feel the creaks in my bones when I have to wait in the cold, but the challenge keeps me as rooted as the tress lol.
You have to get a proper zoom mate 😘

I also picked a tiny drone up on my camera as some wiseguy was taking photos of the snowpeaks with the drone. At first I thought it was a bird, as it was far and high above the mountain, so imagine my surprise when I saw that it was a drone on the PC.

Good Night Hannes and have sweet dreams!

Cheers and thanks!

Well, I could get a 2x Teleconverter which would make a 300-1200mm Zoom from my 150-600mm Sigma, but then I would have only the bird on the photo ... but I could see if it is a bird or a drone, maybe even the brand of the drone 😉

But seriously, if I make a detail shot of the peak a bird would be visible, but as said, if everything suits for a good shot I would not wait for a bird to fly by.

Well that will certainly be a costly exercise Hannes.

Here I will show you the drone and in the following reply I show you how mother nature tricked me today!

Cool, that's really a drone 😁
Now I'm curious...

I won't buy such a teleconverter, because it's too expensive and you lose f-stops when you use it. My lenses are not the fastest, so shooting would get even harder, and handheld shooting with the big lens wouldn't be possible anymore anymore I think.

So, I say to myself; "Myself try your best today to get a big bird crossing over the snow on the mountain"

All that I got was some birds every here and there. Then we came home and later, as the sun was was setting, I went out into our garden to get the sunset on the snow, but the clouds covered the snow.
Then I saw this line of Sacred Ibis's approaching.

So, nature tricked me. It gave me plenty of birds passing in front of the mountain peaks, but it covered the snow with clouds!
And to spite me, another line of them came along a bit later, which I will show in a post.

Oh. I also came upon 4 snakes, a lovely butterfly and some more open sky flying bird shots during the day.
Plus some snow shots before the clouds settled on the mountains!

Cheers and thanks!

Oh that's a cool shot - I think all the birds and other animals like to be photographed by you. They seem to know you and don't hide, like they do when they see me ;)

Cheers and !BEER and now I say good night my friend 😊

I think that you are right Hannes,

They seem to have established a modelling agency and when they see me they come running, or is that flying hahaha.
Maybe you have to ask them why they fly away from you and I am sure that they will say that they don't like the police, as they are scared of being arrested lol.

I have wished you a good night elsewhere my friend.

Cheers and thanks!

That must be the reason and I can completely understand it, but somebody must have told them what I work 🤔

BTW, only a few people apart from family and friends know my job, because whomever you tell you are policeman, they will have tons of questions which I can't answer, because my job is so much different from normal police work.
