So you'd think it was not that.... But at 1,280mm I hope he used the rule of thumb rule and also had a carefully braced tripod AND A 1,280TH OF A SECOND - And be there. And didn't make any other mistakes. Like don't breath. As such super telephoto photography is a whole different ballgame than you're normally dealing with. I'd always heard. Sandbags on my tripod legs for an appetizer I'd order. Who knows what else? Might be as difficult as macro micro photography. You might need to drug your ameba to slow them down first!
