My Wife !!!

[Doug Brown]

Mrs. Brown gives us all a lesson in hand holding a 500, and looking good while doing it. You make me proud K!!! Taken at the Bosque this morning from a discrete distance (600mm + 1.4x).

Doug:

Nice technique with that elbow in tight. Wonder who taught here that one? Say hello for me.

Cheers

Randy

Nice shot! I head to Bosque on Tuesday :)

I'm noting that scarf and thinking that I better pack one :)

[Christopher Miller]

Nice shot. Thanks for sharing, Doug!

[Kristin Brown]

Thanks for the nice candid shot! I had a great weekend (despite the lousy light and low bird count)!

Love,
Kristin

A lesson indeed. Slightly curved torso, resting arm tucked into the body for maximum stability. Reminds me of those 10m air rifle shooters.

Truth be told, she's a pretty good shot too!

Hand held?
Mrs. Brown looks very comfortable hand holding the 500mm lens.

My shot was hand held. She does a pretty good job with the 500!

I shot with her for 10 minutes in absolutely crappy light and she nailed some shots I
could not even hope to and has the right atitude about it all. She seemed to just enjoy
being out there.

[Enrique Patino]

wish my wife was into photography as well -

[Marina Scarr]

Well done. I think she has a good teacher/mentor! I guess I had better begin some weight training.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Jeepers, I'll never again brag about being able to handhold my 500mm

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Doug, thx for sharing. She certainly has the best mentor.

[Julie Kenward]

You go, Kristin! I get men telling me all the time, "Don't you need a tripod with that lens?" and I just laugh and say, "Well, maybe YOU do..."

[Roman Kurywczak]

Looks like you taught her HH very well Doug! Nice to see she get's out in the field with you too!
