Bird/Wildlife Photo Recommendations
The girlfriend and I are heading to the Stoke for the September long weekend as it is both of our birthdays and our anniversary.
Where might I be able to sneak out and get some bird shots? Or just in general some park recommendations?
Where’s my Birders at!!
Osprey landed and I needed to RUN!
Photo assist by all of the cigarette butt throwing assholes along our highways.
Green Heron
Very lucky morning, watched this guy fish for an hour.
Green Heron
Had a heck of a time trying to get him in some light.
Direct sunlight and in the shadows, did what I could!
Two favorites of the day.
The Osprey that survived the winds in the Okanagan, and this duck that I KEEP OVER-EXPOSING THE BILL OF!!!!
I’ll never tire of a good Duck!
I don’t tire of shots of ducks. They’re fabulous.
Shovel Bill, Blue Bills, give me them all!!!
Cedar Waxwing
All time favorite shots, of my favorite bird!
Blue Billed Duck (Very Original Name)
RUDDY DUCK! (Reddit won’t let me edit title)
I googled “Blue Billed Duck” unknowingly that that’s also a very similar bird, just hoping to see what the real name of it was. WHOOPS! Thanks for the correction!
Just happy to be getting out again- Never seen one of these before. Im elated.
Getting back into this!
I know I need to get lower to get better separation, but im trying not to EDIT so heavily. It’s so easy to load a bunch of colour adjustments and make things un-naturally pop. How did I do?
Getting back into birding and wildlife photography. Is there anyone who wants to connect OR is there a group I could message?
Found a d500 body with 19k on the shutter for $1100 CAD.
I have a 1.4X tc14-c iii
Now I’m in between using many lenses
The obvious 200-500. However I find myself at the 500 ALL THE TIME.
There is a 140-600 Sigma nearby.
But there is also a Nikon Nikkor 300mm F2.8 AF-i nearby for $1100.
Paired with the teleconverter and the crop on the d500 is this a golden setup?
Or am I crazy? I’ve read so many reviews my brain is swirling.
