No. I shoot whatever p***** in front of the lens that looks
interesting.
Some years back we vacationed in Kenya and went to some of the game
parks. One of the parks was Lake Baringo which is noted for the
number of birds that can be spotted there. The birders, or twitchers,
had amazing amounts of equipment. Lenses that looked like small
artillery pieces, multiple camera bodies with different types of film
(it was a few years ago), and tripods that were as sturdy as cell
towers.
