I can’t wait. I’m definitely going to find some this year. I always find 5 in my yard every year, but I’m going hunting seriously this year. We still have a few weeks up here.

It’s kinda amazing how well this fits. I always thought Steve had such a unique look, but maybe not so much.

Thank you. I never made that connection but now that you mention it, it makes me think of the war boys.

Luckily I was already out photographing birds and had my camera in hand. I messed up coming over the ledge too fast and spooked him immediately. I have faith that I’ll get some better ones soon.

Oof, that’s not great. The critical drinker is such a loser shit-heel.

Damn, that’s good. I’m dying over here. Shirley you have some more?

Thank you. I’m blessed to live near such cool wildlife.

Thanks, definitely their most striking feature.

This looks pretty sick actually. I wishlisted and will pay close attention. If it’s even half as good as the trailer makes it look, it’ll be great.

Nature docs are shot by professional crews so it makes sense they’d have the top of the line FF cameras with crazy large lenses, but for an amateur or even semi-pro, I don’t think MFT can be beat in terms of affordability and portability. My kit is so light I just carry it everywhere I go. I’d miss so many opportunities if I had to unpack gear. Light is definitely a problem sometimes, but I don’t find myself out in those conditions too often. Or if I am, I’m shooting macro and use a flash. I’ll probably pull the trigger on the 100-400mm though. I can get one for around $800 used. That’s much cheaper than the ~$2k used I see for the 300mm f4.

I’m dreaming of the 300mm f/4 Pro… I just don’t have the money. If I can pick up some extra money it’s mine. I’m also interested in the 100-400mm f/5-6.3, that one is much more attainable.

Certainly 28MB is overkill and I rarely export at 100% quality, but I had no problems uploading my 16 MP JPEGs. It must be a size limit?

And these chuds wonder why a large chunk of the population hates their guts. ACAB.

Nice and sharp. What are these limits you speak of? I get full resolution versions of all the photos posted here.

Nice find. I spotted a merlin yesterday, but couldn’t snap a photo on time.

That’s a cool website. Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah I didn’t recognize it at first either and walked past. On my way back I noticed the green algae on the shell. They blend into rocks surprisingly well.

Great shot! The house finch is damn near the perfect bird to pose on pink blossoms. Awesome find. Again, hopefully you can get some at peak bloom.
