It's been a while since people have posted pics, and I couldn't find the old thread. Here are a few from a birding outing on Friday.

Love the photo of the bald eagle. It’s almost like they know they’re being photographed haha

Been trying out mirrorless cameras to see if I want to switch. Images shot with a canon r6 and 100-500 rf lens.

Those pics are awesome. Nice work. Did you find the auto focus comparable to your dslr? Were you able to lock on quickly to those in flight pics? The eye detection on these cameras is really getting props on the message boards.

Thanks.

The R6 is definitely a capable camera. For the most part, the AF performed as good as my dslr. The jets came out great. For non-moving objects, the IS was great. The army chopper, took some shots at slower shutter speeds and still got sharp shots at 1/40 handheld. Even got a decent shot at 1/25 handheld. Thats on a stationary target.

The 2 cons I found so far is slower shutter speed on moving objects. For prop planes, I typically start at 1/250 or 1/200. With the R6, I felt like I blurred a lot more. This is not to say the camera is the problem. I think there may be a mix of settings(more AF options I haven't tried yet) and handling by me. Mirrorless gear is lighter and I think this may be resulting in my camera shake from me.

The other partial con is the electtronic viewfinder. I'm still mixed on this. It's great in the sense that you can see what the picture is like as you take. For prop planes, I can see what kind of prop blur I will get before I take the picture. There were times as I was panning, where the plane just disappear from the view finder even though I was pointing right at it. It's almost like the view finder wasn't keeping up with the panning. I put a question out on another forum to see if anyone knows what the deal is with that.

The downside to the viewfinder is working in sunlight. I have prescription sunglasses. These days, they seem to polarize lcd screens on phones and cameras so you can see them in the sun. The polarization from my sunglasses seems to cancel out with the screen and the screen/viewfinder is hard to see with sunglasses on. I have to deal with limited visibility with sunglasses or go with no sunglasses to see the screen, but be blinded when I look to the sky.

The R6 only has tracking for people and animals. I haven't tried that much. The upcoming R3 has tracking for motorsports. I'm really looking forward to that. The R3 may be whats gets me to buy into mirrorless.

Just a heads up, beginning Monday at 4pm, the "Bear Cams" at Brooks Falls, AK. - Katmai National Park, are scheduled to become operational for the 2021 Bear Watching Season.

It is good stuff if you enjoy nature..especially if you enjoy watching an animal species not native to Berea, Ohio.

Rocky Mountain National Park is a truly wonderful place. I thought we'd check it out for an evening and a day to finish our trip out west for our son's wedding. I thought I'd grab a few elk pics and maybe a landscape or 2. I had no idea how beautiful this park is. I wish I would have done my homework and budgeted more time there.

This misty scene greeted us when we first entered the park during a steady rain.



Saw this guy shortly afterward.



Got a tip where some bighorn sheep might be hanging out, went there and heard coyotes howling. I was lucky to get this shot.



Some moose showed up also.

You have to stop killing it like this.

The bar is now 'Usain-ly' high.
Take a break... and give us mere mortals a chance to breathe.


This is the stuff that gets me. NatGeo-type stuff.
I need to grab some gear and get out there while I can still move.


Damn, bro...
Thank You.

It blows my mind that I'm over here getting my shutter speed correct MAYBE 1/2 the time, and not only is he getting his shots perfect but he can also find/time these like they are.

How long did it take you to find an enormous deer, coyotes howling, AND an elk taking a bath? There are people that will take a whole day to walk around and not see any of that.

Unreal. Must've been such a satisfying stop.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

We got into the park on the evening of the 3rd and spent the 4th there all day. The very first thing I do when entering a national park is ask the ranger at the entrance station where the best place is to see whatever wildlife I'm interested in. I talk to other photographers and rangers every chance I get. Most are friendly and willing to share information, and I return the favor every chance I get.

The elk pic was actually taken from my truck while driving. The coyotes and moose both were taken from an area where the rangers told us to look for bighorn sheep. A bit of luck was involved there. There were 2 other moose that mosied in with this one.

With birds/wildlife, shutterspeed is everything. I'll sacrifice not getting a great background or upping the ISO to accept more noise in order to keep the speed up. Just make sure the eyes are in focus.

I have a bazillion more pics from this trip that I haven't even looked at yet.

How were the crowds? I haven't been up to that park in a while and I keep hearing about crowds. I know they kept the reservation system they started during covid to try and control it a bit.

Crowds were not bad at all. Compared to other parks like Yellowstone, the Tetons and the Smokies, I would consider them very tolerable. There was parking available at most pullovers. We weren't there on a weekend, and it was raining our first evening there, so that may have played a part.

We were blindsided by the reservation requirement and they are very difficult to get. We lucked onto one for the Bear Lake corridor at 4-6pm on the 3rd by calling at exactly 5pm the day before for extra available passes. We couldn't get one for the 4th (those things get scarfed up in minutes), but you can do the Trail Ridge Road if you enter before 9am or after 3pm. You can also do the Bear Lake corridor before 5am or after 6pm without a reservation.

As I said, I wish I would have done my homework and arranged to spend more time there. The scenery along Trail Ridge Road is spectacular. The elk pic was taken about halfway down the road to Bear Lake. The coyote and moose pics were taken at Sheep Lakes. We saw mule deer in multiple locations and a huge herd of elk above the treeline and in photo range near the Rock Cut overlook. Marmots and picas practically posed for us at the Forest Canyon pullover. We struck out on the bighorn sheep.

When I was in high school, we used to spend two weeks in Estes Park each summer. Hiked many of the mountains and lakes. Chiefs Head Peak was one of my favorite hikes. Andrews Glacier was very cool, too. Slid down the glacier. Love Rocky Mountain NP.

Mirror Lake in RNP is another great spot to hike.

You should definitely make a point to go back and spend some time there. Absolutely beautiful.

Incredible eye for photography.

Whoah. That drive is pretty intense when the road is dry. I wanted to take that Fall River road up to the visitor's center, but my wife wouldn't have it. I can't imagine what that drive and the views are like. I've done driven through some high mountain passes before, but nothing I've travelled compared to the views from Trail Ridge Road. The Beartooth pass in Montana was close.

This little fellow somehow got into my house. He is a baby blue-tailed (five lined) skink. He is about 3 inches long and very cute. I caught him in my family room and put him outside. When he grows up he will be about 8 inches long.

Unlike the anoles, he didn't try to bite me.

My porch/deck is home to anoles and skinks as they like to sun themselves. And there's plenty of bugs to eat.

Congrats on the wedding! Not sure by your wording if it's upcoming or already past.

Two questions:

What's the shutter speed on that shot? (I'm a novice with an expensive camera and need to learn)

Who is the Mermaid in the bottom of the pic?

Okay, three...

Any helpful advice for someone who knows nothing much more than "point and shoot" to unlock the potential of a Canon 40D? I bought it about ten years ago to take food pics for my menus and haven't used it much because it's so complicated.

Thanks! The wedding was August 1st, it was a beautiful venue right outside of Boulder Colorado in Boulder canyon.

I didn't notice the mermaids until you pointed them out, lol.


Shutter speed was 0.4 seconds. You have to go slow and use a tripod to get that cottony look to rushing water, and hope that no wind gust comes along to blur the foilage.

The best advice I can give is to learn and understand the exposure triangle.....the relationship between shutter speed, aperture and ISO. This is the key to taking your photo skills to the next level, and they are the same principles that have been applicable since the beginning days of photography. There's a book called "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson that explains it beautifully, better than anything I've seen in print or online. It's an easy read and will give you all the information you need to get you out of the "green square" automatic mode and getting the full benefit of owning a DSLR. He gives ballpark settings for different situations and explains why and how to fine tune them in easy to understand terms. My only beef is how he pushes using full manual for everything. There are times when shutter or aperture priority is important, IMO.

You're absolutely right. I have the first edition of that book from 2004, and it was a game changer for me. It actually had a subtitle of "How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera". I don't really see a need to get a newer edition (it's up to 4 now), the principles aren't going to change.

Yeah, I tried some of the vids... no patience for that when everyone wants to explain every feature of the camera for fifteen minutes before there's anything of substance that will actually help. And the camera, like every other piece of modern electronics, has everything but a cheese grater on it -- takes hours of use before you can even figure out the menu!

Thanks again. thumbsup

Nice shots. You really nailed the gloomy winter's day feel. Next time you're in a situation like that, play around with some slower shutter speeds. You need a tripod to do that, but it can have some cool effects on the waterfalls and rapids.

Thank you for looking and for the idea about the slower shutter speed. Would that make the rest of the picture way too bright?

You can use shutter speed priority (S or Tv depending on your camera), set your shutter speed and the camera will expose it correctly. Otherwise you can shoot manual, take a test shot and adjust the settings yourself. The fun thing about landscape photography is that you can take your time and experiment, unlike shooting critters where you might only have a split second to get the shot.

We are watching the Decorah North Eagles..this nest is located in a valley north of Decorah, Iowa. We are very near the egg laying period for Bald Eagles located in the northern part of the USA and this pair have been busy with sprucing up their nest as they prepare for the arrival of eggs. The male is fishing from a branch overlooking a stream and you will see him take a dive into water.

The female arrives back at the nest and seeing her partner on the ground beside the stream, she begins to call. The rest is self-explanatory...enjoy.. grin

It's been an active week around our bird feeder here in Northcentral, Ohio, capped off by the sighting of the first pair of Robins to migrate back to the area... sighted yesterday.

Over the last week here in our local we have seen the arrival of Redwing Blackbirds, Cowbirds, Grackles, Turkey Vultures and the Robins...and I must say, all are a week or two ahead of their normal migration period.

Take some pics! I've got to get my camera gear in order.....l just upped my game and picked up a kayak to hit the marshes around here for some pics. There always seems to be some great finds that are just out of photo range.

I've already seen quite a few migratory raptors passing through. We've seen robins here all winter long. Huge swarms of blackbirds have been flying thru here also....starlings, cowbirds, red winged blackbirds. It's quite a sight. If you watch those swarms closely, you might luck out and see a yellow headed blackbird. A few of them are seen every year. People around here have also been getting bluebirds already.

Did you ever think of what it would be like to hunt with no closed seasons, no limits, access to the very best habitat for the creatures you're pursuing, and the ability to capture a beautiful lifelong memory to share with whoever you want? That's what photography gives you.

I certainly understand it but photography is just something I've never gotten into. I do however appreciate seeing the results of those who do. We have a nature area behind our home. We also have feeders out for all of the game that lives there. We have deer as well as wild turkeys, raccoons and an assortment of birds that feed in our back yard very close to our patio. Maybe at some point I'll take pictures of this but as of now I simply enjoy the experience of having them so close.

As I said, wildlife photography is something I've considered...and not necessarily as an "either or" choice but in addition to my pursuit of the dominate buck.

I have a feeling that your decision to "float" will be rewarding...good luck.

Pip pip hooray! Our eagle-eyed volunteers spotted a little starring on one of the eggs at around 6:53 this evening. Is it on the blunt side of the egg? Check! Are we on hatch watch? Check! And does the egg appear to jump or rock a little bit? It does. It has been eleven years since we watched eaglets hatch in this nest, but DH1 is on its way!

Our 6 goslings took the Big Leap early this morning.
They were very quick about it. Began around 7:40 CT (nest time) if you want to rewind. Mother Goose got up and left and all 6 went in a couple minutes with no further encouragement. Five of them showed up to the parents waiting below before too long. A sixth took longer and seemed to be unable to maneuver in the water. RRP was able to rescue this one and send it to their veterinarian to be checked out as it seemed to have an issue with a leg.

Any further updates will be posted when we receive them.

From Raptor Resource Project
The injured gosling

We’re sorry to let everyone know that six didn’t make it. In reviewing the footage, it appears the gosling hit a branch on the way down and suffered a severe spinal injury. We can remove logs and dead wood from the bottom of the tree, but we can’t do much about large living limbs and we aren’t going to discourage nesting in N2B. Five out of six goslings survived the jump. This translates to a survival rate of 83%, which is higher than average. It is sad to lose one gosling – really sad! – but the geese we’re watching benefit as a whole from nesting on high.

The rest of the family has left the nest area, but new geese are looking at N2B. We’ve seen them in the nest, floating below the nest, promenading up the stream, and foraging on the grassy banks on each side of the creek. We think that these might be the same geese that challenged HD in N1: of course HD eventually got annoyed and chased them away. We’ll see what happens and if we can determine where the parents and goslings went after the leap of faith!

So often our birds make choices that seem incomprehensible to us, but they know their lives better than we do. For you, the broken-hearted nest watcher, I quote Kaeli Swift: “Please, rather than shutting down those deep feelings you have for wildlife…lean into them. Teach your friends and neighbors and children to feel those deep feelings. Because it’s from that space that we can do best by wildlife…”. Thank you so much for taking this journey with us. If you’d like to read Kaeli’s blog, follow this link: https://corvidresearch.blog...

I just got back from Burning Man last week. Finally feeling recovered from my thirteen days in the dust and heat. I took a ton of photos. Here’s one I’m willing to share. This is the temple the night it burned. There was a dust storm that night. I was close enough to feel the heat of the fire, catching this shot. At one point the wind and dust was so heavy that I couldn’t even see the glow of the fire from where I stood. When the dust subsided enough to see, the temple had already fallen. Navigating on bike back to camp was a challenge in blind navigation.

Spent the last 10 days out west, we trekked through The Mighty Five national parks in Utah. A few very unprofessional pics from Capital Reef; starting with the Gifford Homestead (1908) and ending with the cartoon-like path to Hickman Bridge...

We started at the western entrance to Zion -- Kolob Canyons -- then drove all the way east to Moab. Stayed there three days for Arches, Canyonlands (my favorite) and Dead Horse Point (state park). From there it was Capitol Reef > Bryce Canyon > then finish back at the southern entrance to Zion. That entrance into the park is honestly breathtaking.

Then Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon and Vegas.

My feet are tired.

I love The West.

My son lives in central Oregon. I lived in New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana. Traveled all over on trout fishing trips including Alaska and BC.

The scenery is spectacular.

The one place I have not been but for sure plan to visit is Banff National Park.

Thanks! It's funny, after the first couple days I noticed there is no way to do these landscapes justice. I think it was instinctual, but I noticed I began including something more in the foreground... and it definitely added some needed "depth".

So many questions. Amazing area. Were you born there? How did you end up there? I don't know how I could live anywhere outside manhattan. But that area is beautiful

When birds fly in a "V" formation one side is always longer than the other. Why is that?

I read that it has something to do with crosswinds.

You are supposed to walk down from one town to the other. I knew I wanted to end up at the same place. So I walked up half way with two girls I met there, they were from Finland. They continued up and I turned around and went back down by myself. I had a cab waiting . You could rent a cab for the day for $50

I love watching eagles glide around, seemingly passive but knowing they’re on the hunt.
