That’s so sharp! The titmice at my place won’t come within 50 feet of anyone. I was going to try f8, too, but had the same problem:rolleyes:. Come on light, show yourself!
I’m totally going to make one of those now!
Nuthatch:
Downy:
I sadly forgot to turn the shutter speed up again when it...
Here are some recent pictures. I haven’t been out much either lately but the sun was shining today. The only birds I’ve been able to get close enough to are the ones going to the feeders(and the sun is only on them in the afternoon) so there isn’t much variety.
Chickadees:
Goldfinches...
Well, I learned something new. That explains some unsolved mysteries. I was utterly confused as to why one picture with 1/4000s were softer than some with lower shutter speeds.
I feel sort of ignorant when it comes to photography even though I’ve had my camera for over two years now. I feel...
Thank you! Yes, it's definitely more challenging than something stationary. These chickadees are quite brave, though, making it a lot easier to get close! I use a high shutter speed which requires brighter light. The harshness of the light, however, makes some dark and often annoying shadows...
Hello, I figured out how to get some recent pictures onto a computer. Yesterday a saw a beautiful great blue heron as well as some fearless wild turkeys that would have made some nice pictures. Of course, I didn't have my camera with me...
Anyway, I was able to get some pictures of some...
I have a Nikon D3500. It is recommended for those new to photography and is cheaper than many other good options I found. I was able to get a black Friday deal, too, which helped with the price. It came with two kit lenses: a 18-55mm and 70-300, as well as the case.
I don't have any new...
Due to my device's little storage predicament, here's just my favorite of my recent-ish pictures. Sadly this red-winged blackbird wasn't showing all his namesake red. While I was looking through the pictures, though, I realized that he's banded!
Wow! Skimmers are such interesting birds, I hope to eventually see some for myself. I love how you were able to catch their skimming behavior! Incredible pictures.
This morning I was also fishing(I got not even a nibble) and I missed all the good photo opportunities, too. So, that was sort of...
Nice pictures! I have a lot of rabbits around here, but I've never been able to get a good picture. Your little birds look to be house finches. I couple years back I had a pair nest by my house in some thick vines.
I love bluebirds! Well, actually I love all birds, I can't help it:oops:.
This morning I finally got around to processing my own bluebird pictures. They are western, not eastern, so they are a little different than GravityWave's bluebirds, but still quite similar. They were taken on...
There are a decent number baby ducks and goslings here! I saw some wood ducks with five ducklings, though I don't think they're accessible for photos. I feel like the spring here has come way too early, though. The majority of our tulips abandoned their buds and never bloomed. Also, this...
Your pictures always look so professional! I got a picture of some geese myself today, though it was in the harsh afternoon light. I couldn't find them this morning. I've heard that there's a nesting killdeer by the goose pond, but I haven't looked. Maybe I'll try getting a picture of it, though...
Lately I've been trying to get a good picture of the summer tananger who keeps visiting a mulberry tree to eat little green worm things(yup, great description, I know). Of course I always find something I wish I did better afterwards. The lighting also hasn't been bright enough for perfectly...
How did you get so close? Those are amazing pictures!
We have a lot of porcupines around here but I don't believe I've ever been able to get a good picture. They're amazing creatures, and awkward. They walk like angry cats!
