From Sydney Street Photographers
4.7

We will meet with nature and birds. **Helpful information for you to consider:** A telephoto lens is recommended for this event and a digital mirrorless or SLR would be handy. A focal length of 200mm or more is recommended for bird photography. I find shutter priority setting of 1/500th or faster on auto ISO will heed good results. You may find autofocus and shutter speed around 5 to 10 frames per burst will work well. Stan and I look forward to your company on the day We will meet at Centenial Homestead and . More details to come later.
