r/wildlifephotography

No real discussion here, I just really like this picture that I took here in Connecticut yesterday and wanted to share it.

Got lucky and captured a Magpie flying over a Coyote next to a public golf course.

Keeled Slug Snake Pareas carinatus

Went out to family property in the country to shoot some butterflies before the last of the wildflowers are gone for the season. I’m absolutely in love with this profile shot of a painted lady! Decided to do two different color edits, which grabs your eye? I’d like to hear!

Edit: I do realize I left part of the masking off under the belly, luckily I save my original tiffs 😅

Panasonic Lumix G9 Mark II PRO +OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO + 2 Flashes + 1 Trigger

I'm using an OM-1 w/ 100-400mm IS II.

shutterspeeds for these are between 1/2000-4000.

I can't seem to get the individuals tack sharp, although these are from a distance that does make sense, however even closer subjects seem to have this "blur" about them as if the motion isn't actually stopped in-frame.

Could this be because of Subject Detection? or perhaps the IBIS and Lens stabilization?

I have an idea that switching the stabilization mode from both Vertical and Horizontal to *Just Vertical* might help with this. any ideas?

Our closest living relatives. I never thought I'd have the privilege of seeing them in the wild. Nikon SLR, 200mm zoom.
