My name is William Benton, an AAPT (Avid Amateur Photo Twitcher). Joining the BPN community to learn from those who know. My present shooting kit set up is a Sony A-550 with a 70 - 400 f4 - 5.6 G type zoom lens mounted on a Bush Hawk shoulder mount with trigger, handygrip and bipod extension. So all bird shots are hand held. I typically shoot Camera RAW and post-process using Photoshop, Optipix and/or Image J. :o
