Where I live in Florida thousands of birders flock every Winter to watch for a high diversity of bird life that passes through the area. When I came up with birdering I wasn't interested in birds hardly at all and I thought it was hilarious how birders bought all this expensive gear just to look at some birds. I didn't really get what the big deal was because birds were birds and they were just everywhere.
I began taking pictures of them when they weren't looking. I found this to be quite a thrill as in the middle of your shot they could turn and catch taking their picture. I got pretty good at shooting from the hip. Getting the photo framed well was difficult, using no viewfinder. Also, getting a shot of birders doing something very typical of birders is considered more prestigious.
I'm pretty proud of this shot of a pair of wild birders. As the founder of birdering I'm a pretty skilled birderer.
This is another pair with very expensive optics and they were attempting to hide in the bushes out of sight of any prying birderer.
