Would this work to take pictures of birds.

I'm not a photographer so I don't know about movement and a telephoto lens but this is an inexpensive way to experiment with an iPad and it's photographic capabilities. Pretty darn simple.

Well, I think it works to take pictures of birds. Because I take pictures to the Moon and looks good.

Yes I routinely take photos of birds from inside my house using the remote. I am usually about 25 feet from the subject and it works perfectly.

I thought the same thing until I tried a gimbal. It makes bird photography so much easier. Especially for panning. You just need to try it. If you don't like, send back.

I have taken pictures of birds in flight with this camera on auto and they came out great. There are also specific settings for action shots in the manual mode.

I personally don't think it would work very well for a couple of reasons... First, at 500mm, it has a fairly narrow field of view, so it might be hard to track moving objects. Second, at f8, you can't use fast shutter speeds unless it is really bright light, so everything could be blurred. The weight and size of this lens almost demands the use of a tripod, making it impractical for following moving targets. I have used it handheld to photograph birds at a distance with pretty good results, but it is a little hard to use handheld. These are just my thoughts, if you decide to try it, I would like to know how it works out for you.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

You can use the telephoto lens upstate NY, or photograph birds in a tree in your backyard or something use it for long distances that what it's you use it for.

Hi. This Nikkon is a great camera. For nature photography you will probably need a more powerful lense or a telescope view you can buy in Amazon as well.

Yes, yes. But set it to take pictures on a short interval if you are looking for running deer.

We have used it to watch raccoons at a feeder of ours which worked O.K. The resolution needs to be set at the highest, and the picture is still not what I would call great for detail. You will be able to see and count how many birds are finding your feeder.

I am using a Nikon D3200, and I photograph mainly birds, but when photographing birds in flight or jittery songbirds this lens works good in burst mode at a high shutter speed. If the lighting allows, I prefer to shoot @ 1/1000.

i use it to look at birds and wildlife around a nearby lake. For its size it comes apart and reassembles fairly quickly and easily fits in a hiking backpack(what i use to carry it)If the images are upside down make sure you assembled it correctly.

I have not tried it for that yet, but it does take great pictures in the daytime. I would imagine, if you set your camera to manual shutter speed and stuff, it should do the job.

You'd be able to see the birds, but I think a scope would be a better choice. These are great binoculars for the price, but I think you would be disappointed if you try to view nests over 200 feet away.

Yes, it will work just fine and, because it is a full-frame EF lens, and your camera has a 1.6X crop factor due to it's smaller APS-C sensor size (an EF lens on an EF- S body), the equivalent focal length will be 640 mm. This will be excellent for bird and other wild animal photography where the subject is naturally some distance from the camera. However, I would advise this lens be used primarily on a tripod, since the subject magnification will also magnify camera movement if hand-held. This is an excellent lens and cannot be beat for the price - have fun with it!

I don't know. I have only used it for wildiife photographs for which it is quite good.

Yes, we bought ours just to take pictures of wildlife--moose especially. Our 500 lens (fixed) was just too much many times.
