Laughing gull editionLast thread >>4467818
There's a thread already >>4474457>>4474457>>4474457
>>4474762no thanks
deal with it bitch
berd
>>4476750That's a great shot. Set up?
>>4476832Cheers, has some artistic post processing on the light.I set up a tray of mulch, soil, seeds, mealworms and crumbled fat balls. Just outside the back door by a large hedge in early summer to attract the fledglings. It let's me sit less than 1m from them and snap away from a level position. Will try with extension tubes on the 600m lens next spring to try and get some macro detail on the feathers
this thread needs tits
>>4476966Here's a pair
>>4477025nice tits bro
I usually have a female sparrowhawk cause mayhem in the garden, today it was the male that I've not seen for months
an gull
>>4477040Strange looking bird
>>4478334Oops wrong thread
Cheeky little Autumnal Tit
>>4478335No this is the snapshit thread, it's ok
got a K-70 and a 55-300PLM and fuck me what an improvement to my K200 and older 55-300
>>4479469Bummer you did miss the eye, but I like the composition and the pose of your birdie. And I really dig the sharpness of the feathers. I am a huge faggot for this high IQ zooms where you can see every detail.
>>4479471I took a couple of others but not that many, I was mainly fucking around with my also new macro lens so wasn't looking out for birds too much, going to go out again sometime to look specifically for bards
>>4479472and if other animals are allowed I saw a lizard trying to eat a smaller one,
>>4479474he tried to fight back and managed to escape, and they went out of sight but I assume the little one got killed
>>4479472Noice. Birds are cool, but their feet give me the creeps.
I would like to get a camera to take animal pictures
>>4479763pelicans disposable
>>4479765sorry, cannibal
>>4479767Magpie harbinger
>>4479768Last one
>>4479769phoneposting is
>>4479768Great Halloween shot
>>4476673This bird is so cute
2 Red Kites, 2 Westland Wildcats
Big ducks
>>4480293this is cool
I should've posted it hereWhere are my fellow birders at? The thread use to be more lively lately
>>4480962Summertime most birders don't go out as often because they're usually old retired or out of shape or afraid of mosquitoes and ticks, plus it's harder to bird. The shoulder seasons are best, AK migration seasons, both of which have passed pretty much.
>>4480997Migration is still happening in my area desu
First telephoto lens!How did I do?Also the 5mb limit is compressing this to shit
>>4481070>the 5mb limit is compressing this to shitJPEG 80 and 4:4:4 subsampling will literally get you under 5MB with ease. Notch it up to 85 or 90 and hunt for the sweet spot if you care.
>>4481070I mean your photo looks quite noisy, not sure if compression is your biggest problem here. Start by reducing your image size a bit
>>4481070Grain, white tail dread stare. How big is your bazooka?
>>4481128> 1/40th, 16,000 ISO, f6.3 on 100-400 SnoyMaster +1.4TC after sunsetIt’s better without the compression, but it’s also really noisy lol. I’d love some faster glass, but fast telephoto lenses are used car prices.>>4481103>>4481079I was too lazy to re-export lol. It was a resampled 30mb-ish jpg
>>4481070my dog (not a bird)
>>4480962nice>>4479770pretty cool composition desu>>4479595excellent, maybe brighten the background a smidge?
wisest lookin little bird I've ever seen, with his lil beard and eyebrows
I know it's blurry but I liked the pose and background, a shame
>>4481802*judges you for missing focus*
Would anyone crop differently? Can’t really decide how I want it
I’m colorblind so idk what the fuck I’m doing when I edit
>>4481898I’m totally new to this and I have a handicap.Any tips?
>>4481899How tf do I make low contrast overcast photos look more interesting?
>>4481901I'd suggest adding contrast to the subject (and maybe a little bit to the background too), along with some colour (yellows and reds in that case), but idk if the result is better
A birb thread? Are sparrows welcome?
what lens should someone get for bird photos
>>4482092Of course they are
>>4481812when in doubt crop vertical
>>4482135>>4481812alternately something like this, if the photo had enough resolution for it(actual resolution, not number of pixels)
>>4482135The tilted post feels weird tbqh
>>4482140yes but i basically cropped these in paint so wasn't going to fix that
I think someone's feeding them
>>4482281
>>4482281That's just a piece of the last photographer they caught spying on them
>>4482282It's jover for skinkcels
>>4482286
I will never get tired of watching tits
>>4482297Sad when the birds I'm shooting are getting more action than I am.
>>4482333We should all be so lucky...
>>4482335creep
>>4482343Procreation is the most beautiful part of life, and the only animals embarrassed about it are humans, for the most part.
I’m starting to get into bird photography
>>4482373Which museum?
Thoughts?
>>4474697Taken in Kodiak Alaska a couple of weeks ago. Nikon Zf 28-400mm @400mm, Iso 100, 1/1000
>>4482380Balls forgot the picture...
>>4482375What do you mean?
>>4482382Asking in which museum this photo was shot
>>4482384I'm confused?
>>4482388Because that background is fake... literally a painting or print.
>>4482389It's not fake though?
>>4482392Not as much as those "rocks" and this "natural" lighting
>>4482379Save a little bit longer and get something newer imo.
>>4482392Don't try to pass off taxidermied birds and a fake background to photographers. We aren't stupid. Most of us have been doing this for quite some time...
>>4482399>save until you have 5 times as much money.
>>4482401Yes, if you're aiming for a big ass lens make it count. That thing looks beat to shit probably been to hell and back with some wildlife photographer.
>>4482393>>4482400I genuinely have no idea what you guys are talking about!
>>4482404Easy way to solve this. Add another picture of them in different positions. Raptors dont stay perfectly still for long, and im positive you'd have gotten more pictures if you were able to find such a scene. You aren't fooling anyone here.
>>4482407My camera died right after I took the photo!
>>4482409OK, so you're lying. Got it. Please go back to /b now where you belong, as you aren't even a good troll. When you're a bit older, you'll see just how futile it is to try and troll people who know what they're talking about.
>>4482410Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about.
>>4482415L O FUCKING L Kid. You can see the floor tiles in this one. Again, if your going to troll, don't do it on here, you aren't as smart as you think.
>>4482415You still haven't told us where this museum is located
>>4482425Looks like the Denver Museum of Nature and Science based on this other picture of a similar scene. Same kind of cheesy background and fake rocks. Kid is some hipster from Denver trying to pass off a museum piece as his own composed photo of real birds.
>>4482429Nohting wrong with some silliness but missing a trolling attempt and doubling down by playing it edgy when that trolling was too obvious is just sad
>>4482449I mean, it is 4chan, but some people gotta learn when to take the L and move on haha. We were all young once, of course when I was young putting some shit in a bag and lighting it on fire on someone's doorstep, then ringing the bell and running was trolling for us...
A woodpecker visited my balcony. Too bad weather is shit and main camera was out of reach.
>>4482544cute pecker, do you leave them stuff to eat?
>>4482555In the upper right is a tit taking a nut from a birdfeeder. Below is a birdbath with coconut fiber for nests. I guess the big traffic from the tits peaked the peckers interest, first time I've seen it.
chirp chasers
RARITY: Common TYPE: Spotted DoveREPORT: Sighted on the neighbour's roof in the late morning making its characteristic call: "coo-coo croor... coo-coo croor..."
>>4482379>What's not included- Lens Hood- Lens CapAlmost certainly a sign of carelessness. Don't settle for less, IMO.
>>4482883Yeah just looking at how much of the paint is missing from protruding elements it looks like this lens wasn't treated well
Convince me to upgrade from my iphone 13 pro
>>4482544>main camera was out of reach.kys cANON
>>4482424Go clean the sand out of your vagina/skull, goodness…
>>4483565Love these guys but I never get to see them
Niggers.
>>4482381my panning technique must be dogshit or something.I usually have to go to 1/1600 or something to get something that looks this sharp
>>4483601bit rude
