In the "fitness" challenge, I posted a photo of some birders during an outing. I also made a small poster for the group's FB page. Not the best images as it was in evening and all bird and deer photos were shot at a distance.  |

I thought I had lens envy, but on second thoughts, not really. That equipment looks heavy and how on earth do they keep it all steady?

That equipment looks heavy and how on earth do they keep it all steady? Good question. Most DSLRs and mirrorless systems have internal anti-shake built into the lenses or body. My Sony mirrorless has the stabilization in the body/sensor. And it does reduce shake a bit but I use a combination of other techniques to reduce shake with the big lens. - Fast shutter speed. Try not to shoot slower than 1/1,000 second with the 600-mm lens ... but sometimes shoot slower.
- Use a monopod which helps to reduce shake and also reduces holding weight if standing a long time in one place. It also allows a slower shutter speed.
- High ISO to achieves faster shutter speed.

I treat mine as if it were a high-power rifle; however, it is hard to not want to keep that center focus square not centered on the intended target.
Just as with a rifle, increased magnification does not increase shake, it just makes the shake more evident.
