Exercises for Birdwatchers
Have you ever seen a birdwatcher’s camera? Many birdwatchers have cameras with long telephoto lenses. You can zoom in on birds and get great photos. A couple of years ago, I bought a camera with a telephoto lens. It is heavy. It weighs more than 4 kilograms. It doesn’t feel so heavy when I carry it around on my neck or put it on a tripod. However, I can’t do that when the birds are moving around and flying. I have to hold the camera steady and follow them. I need strong arms for birdwatching, so I think I will start doing exercises such as pushups and lifting weights. (111 words) You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com
