76/365 : For the Birds.

Another Friday night has me wandering around the Humber College campus, waiting for Chris-Mouse before our geocaching adventures. Today it’s nice and sunny so I’m aimlessly walking around. Then I hear some chirping about a foot from my head, and these little birds are going to town on a pine tree. So I pull out the Fuji camera I’m carrying and they, as expected, head for the hills – or at least higher branches. Then I remember I’ve got the Nikon with the 300mm sitting in the car. Ok, wander over to the car and switch cameras. Now I’ve got no problems getting a good frame with a nice easily visible bird in the frame. While I’m shooting, one of the photography students wanders over to discuss my camera and what year of the photography program I’m in. Bit of shock when I mention that I haven’t been enrolled in the College since about ‘95 and that it was computers not photography I was enrolled in 🙂
