    Hi Nasim,

    These pictures (as well as others on this web site) are stunning! How do you typically shoot these – hand-held or with a tripod? What aperture setting do you use or doesn’t that matter so much when shooting from a distance? It would be interesting to understand some of the technical details behind these wonderful pictures. I’m looking forward to the weather warming up here in a couple of months to shoot some birds as they return with my new camera.

    Thanks,

    Prem
