[gleaming fable]

The coffee table is consumed by laptop and giant peonies

[slender terrace]

Ohhh those are nice

Found elephant’s ear randomly in a swamp

Not exactly a common occurrence in Tennessee

I know the area is planted for deer by the twra but still odd

[gleaming fable]

Well

is it actually an alocasia or is it a Val.. Valsneria? Hang on lemme look it up

Vallisneria is not the right plant - thats a water plant

but we have a similar shaped one hre

[slender terrace]

Good to know 😂

Ask my anything about local wildlife and I got it covered but plants I’m obviously not well versed

[gleaming fable]

Lords and Ladies is the one here

(threw it into my plant ID app, and it does say Elephants Ear ... and I guess TN would have ideal temps for it to survive)

P wild to see it thriving like that though. Sick find!

[slender terrace]

I looked it up

Maybe it’s arrow arum?

Or green arum

[gleaming fable]

It might be. I got a handful of options haha

[slender terrace]

Yeah been here 19 years and never seen it in all my exploration

[gleaming fable]

Other options I got were Munks rhubarb, Broad-leaved Dock, Patience Dock etc

and green arrow arum

(I use PlantNet app for ID)

[slender terrace]

It’s Sunday so I guarantee a TWRA agent is down there I might driver over and ask 😂

[gleaming fable]

Man what I would give for a cutting, to propegate it :sigh:

[slender terrace]

I’ll mail you some 😂

Been thinking I might snag a cutting or two and stick it in the fish pond

[gleaming fable]

It'd never work haha, cant ship internationally without strict licensing. I'll just get one here

but tbh it's not ideal for apartment living.. being 10-15' inside

[slender terrace]

Yeah probably not optimal

I saw a few that had to be a meter or higher

[gleaming fable]

Love an iris

[tacit isle]

Jij bent ook NL?!?

Your Dutch as well?

[ivory iron]

went outside with my camera again today to capture some pictures of squirrels… I ended up talking to them.

[glass star]

went on a hike today,found this lil guy

[wispy ginkgo]

Gorgeous

[sacred raft]

Idk if youve seen your dm, but yes

[dense hamlet]

Oh sweet!

[marble monolith]

1 bass of the year

[mossy radish]

I fished it from the lake in my grandmothers house

[frosty steppe]

calf

[forest dome]

There was a antique shop with these that caught my eye

[upper dune]

First of many pictures from a new batch

[gleaming fable]

ooh

[upper dune]

I just starting getting into wildlife photography

This was my only other picture I put effort into

[trail wing]

looks great, nice job out there.

[upper dune]

Thanks!

[low plinth]

oooh

Dude that's sick

[low plinth]

I like this one

[amber brook]

what animal is that?

[frosty steppe]

bison probably

[gleaming fable]

Yoooo that Clematis!!! I love it

[slender terrace]

It do be purty

[upper dune]

Thanks!

[upper dune]

The snakes are just black rat snakes

[haughty canyon]

Took this before leaving for work. Might look like fog, but it's smoke.

[gleaming fable]

From Canada's fires?

[haughty canyon]

Yep

[low plinth]

That was what it was like a month ago here

So thick you couldn't see the sun

[haughty canyon]

And this just now from the Dunkin across from the workplace

[low plinth]

You work at dunkin?

[haughty canyon]

"Across from the workplace"

[low plinth]

So you work at drunkin across the way

[haughty canyon]

As in, the Dunkin is across the street from my workplace

[kind valve]

I need both that's beautiful

[upper dune]

Thank you!

Feel free to give feedback

[amber brook]

that i knnow but the one like slaming into the ground or is that just wind

oh they were buffalos

my bad i didnt see the last pic

[low plinth]

So fricken cool

Where'd you take them at?

[dense hamlet]

Do you have a grid on your camera?

Would suggest lower angles to create more depth too.

But you're already doing way better then when I started out!❤️

[gleaming fable]

Best suggestion I could make is study the rule of thirds, and apply it how you wish to your photographs

I love the rolling shot though. Getting that itch 😂

[dense hamlet]

^^ this is why I asked if you had a grid on your camera.

[upper dune]

South Dakota

[upper dune]

Like a grid where you can put the focus point?

[dense hamlet]

You have 9 boxes, it basically let's you do better composition.

[upper dune]

Mine actually has 11 I believe

[dense hamlet]

Take these for example, if u would draw lines the head would always be on 1/3th of the image.

[upper dune]

Ah ok. I’ll have to test that out next chance I get

Those look really good too

[gleaming fable]

On the red one where the lines intersect? Common places to line up the focal points of your image

[upper dune]

I do that a lot for my toy photography

I’ll have to try that for my wildlife aswell

[dense hamlet]

I love the lego photography alot! Really unique.

[upper dune]

Thanks

[amber brook]

i love camping and i go camping around flagstaff AZ took these pictures of 2 pronghorn while off grid

[dense hamlet]

First perch of the season

[low plinth]

That's a nice one

what'd he weigh?

[dense hamlet]

Didn't weigh we take personal bests in cm.

[low plinth]

Ahh I see

What bait were you using?

[dense hamlet]

44cm he was.

[dense hamlet]

Twitchbait, on 0.35mm fluo carbon and braided line.

7-10gr rod

[gleaming fable]

Sir, you got another scaled dog in your hands

[low plinth]

Niiiice

[dense hamlet]

Haha❤️🤣

[kind valve]

Wow looking at him I would've guessed almost 60 lol. I would love to have perch that big over here they're so fun to catch

[slender terrace]

Dang I wish we had them like that here

[low plinth]

so neat

[tardy beacon]

Here's one of my duck holes

[slender terrace]

This plants about as old as me

[gleaming fable]

lort

[low plinth]

Me likey

[slender terrace]

Also this

[gleaming fable]

Those bottom ones 😍😍

I really love lilys.. I just wish they weren't toxic af

[dense hamlet]

nice!

[gleaming fable]

do you know what variety the dark reds are??

[slender terrace]

I can ask

[slender terrace]

Just don’t lick them

Easy solution

[slender terrace]

Sorry the owner said she’s had them so long she can’t remember the exact type

[gleaming fable]

I mean, I'm fine with them

my cats an idiot though

[slender terrace]

Oh yeah that’s problematic

[gleaming fable]

and with some species of lily - even just inhaling or licking the pollen off a whisker is enough to unalive

[gleaming fable]

(He's determined to taste test all my plants)

[slender terrace]

😂

[small spruce]

Sounds fun

[slender terrace]

My he just needs more food

[gleaming fable]

His bowl has food in it, he's a slow grazer

[slender terrace]

These wrens are adorable

[gleaming fable]

Even though he actively stands on my bladder every morning at 5:30 on, mrewing in my face, he takes 2 bites and back to window kkekekekek'ing at the neighbors and pigeons

[slender terrace]

😂

[slender terrace]

Ground elder?

[gleaming fable]

I think its Queen Anne's Lace

[tame tartan]

Doesn’t the queens Anne’s lace have a dark spot in the middle?

[gleaming fable]

Not that I've ever been aware of

[tame tartan]

I’ve always been told that if it has the dark flowers in the middle it’s a queens Anne’s lace

It might not always be there though

[gleaming fable]

We will not know til next year, the grounds crew ripped them all up when they repaired the fencing the other day 😦

I'll get photos of the leaves and identify it. Right now it's anything from a thistle, to QAL 😅😅

[shell plaza]

I’m in Snowmass, Colorado for a half marathon and I got these absolute beauties of mountain sunset photos

[low plinth]

niiiice

[upper dune]

Feel free to give feedback

@gleaming fable @dense hamlet what do you think?

[low plinth]

Dude I love your pfp

[gleaming fable]

I think I wanna snuggle those baby geese

But fr, the only way to improve it imo is photo with the big telephoto lens, so you can basically count the eyelashes on the babies

[slender terrace]

Fantastic picture

[dense hamlet]

What lens do you use? @upper dune

[upper dune]

Thanks

[upper dune]

300mm

[upper dune]

One of those would be nice but I’m just working with my dad’s 10ish year old nikon DSLR

Over the years he has upgraded and didn’t use it anymore

[gleaming fable]

Thats fair!
I absolutely want more lenses for my lil Nikon, but you know. Money, and all that.

[dense hamlet]

Mine is built-in SonyRx10.

[dense hamlet]

It's hard to get them up-close and personal under 400mm. Doing a great job.

[frosty steppe]

Hey nice avatar, is it from your photography collection?

[low plinth]

lol

[wispy ginkgo]

What animal is this?

I mean its call

I think it’s a quail

[frosty steppe]

doge

[sacred raft]

I present: Da baby

[sacred raft]

I just noticed discord compressed the pics to hell

😭

[low plinth]

yehhh discord does that to make uploads smaller I think. But not sure.

It's dumb though :/

[sacred raft]

these ones arent bad weirdly enougj

[low plinth]

It's so cute

Was there more nearby with the mamma or nah?

[sacred raft]

Yess, pretty sure she was in the bushes you can see in the back. There are 5 kits with her, only saw 2 of em today

[low plinth]

Neat

[small spruce]

Take the baby and keep it as a pet

Do it

[verbal spear]

Well I'm having fun

[low plinth]

Yus

[upper dune]

Thanks. It’s mostly just been luck

[upper dune]

Yep. I’ll share it fully soon

[sacred raft]

[small spruce]

A what?

[sacred raft]

smoll crow species

[small spruce]

Oh

Probably had the bird flu

[sacred raft]

Depends on the geese, the ones here in my park legit bite my toes when i am taking pics

[sacred raft]

Nope, it was wounded and too weak... refused to eat

[small spruce]

And it depends if they are alive or dead

[small spruce]

Ah i see

This was during turkey season

Same with that

[wise shore]

I almost stepped on this guy this morning when I was going to practice for my upcoming hunt.

[low plinth]

[wise shore]

I have a lot more photos on my HDD
I have over 2.000 photos of Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

I will share more later 👍

[low plinth]

Ooooh siiiick

[wise shore]

It is beautiful!

[low plinth]

I really want to go to germany but they have a thing with immigrants rn so

[wise shore]

I love traveling and back packing around the world

[low plinth]

Neat

[wise shore]

Like every country in Europe XD

[low plinth]

yeah

I hear austria is more lax about it rn

[low plinth]

so figgen cool

[wise shore]

I also went on a back packing trip in England. Walked from the west coast to the east coast in three weeks.

[low plinth]

nice

[gleaming fable]

Oh? Where at???

[gleaming fable]

Lookin like home

[wise shore]

Grossarltal, Berchtesgaden, Salzburg area.

[gleaming fable]

Oh awesome! Just spent the afternoon at a beer garden in Salzburg

[wise shore]

It is my favorite country in the whole world!
I have been coming to Austria since I was a child. Love it there!
Do you live in Austria?

[gleaming fable]

I do!

[wise shore]

That's amazing!

I really like the Austrian/German culture.

[frosty steppe]

deer

[small spruce]

Yummy 😋

[low plinth]

Mmmm duckweed

where be them forgs tho?

[gleaming fable]

duckweed or frogbit?

Leaves look chonky for duckweed - but also I'm not wearin my specs

either way its hell to clean out of an aquarium 😭

[low plinth]

yeh

[dense hamlet]

They're shrinking @gleaming fable

[amber brook]

Damn. Thank you for sharing

[gleaming fable]

Bruh. 🤣

[slender terrace]

Some loons

[slender terrace]

Not duckweed I don’t think

Or at least I’ve never seen it that big

Had some get into my aquarium once and it was a NIGHTMARE

[gleaming fable]

Look up frogbit, see if that fits

[slender terrace]

I’m pretty sure that’s what it is

[slender terrace]

Saw a deer in the longhorns field

Here it is wayyyyyyy zoomed in 😂

[small spruce]

Shiii

I would shoot it

[slender terrace]

Little early

[small spruce]

Yesh

[wise shore]

You are welcome! 👍
I am glad you like it 😁

Badlands national park in South Dakota

Day one of Custer state park

Day two of Custer

[low plinth]

the bighorn are fucking sick

that ram is huge

[dawn sigil]

loved the one with the bison rolling to the side

[upper dune]

Crazy part is there are only 53 bighorn in the entire park (244k acres iirc) and we saw probably a dozen different sheep

[upper dune]

Me too

[upper dune]

@gleaming fable @dense hamlet I tried using y’all’s advice in the 3rd set of pictures

[low plinth]

Yeah, they're struggling. That's probably one of the parks major breeding rams.

[upper dune]

In that herd of females there were 3 babies that I was able to spot

[low plinth]

Nice.

[small spruce]

Did you take one of the babies?

[upper dune]

There’s 2 pictures where you can see one clearly

[small spruce]

I mean

Did you grab one and take one bome as a pet

[haughty canyon]

Fairly certain that would be illegal...

[upper dune]

yup

[small spruce]

No not necessarily

[dense hamlet]

Cool!

[slender terrace]

These are fantastic

That bison calf one is amazing

And the bighorn

[gleaming fable]

They're really great! Those Buffalo calves 😩 my fingers are itching to touch'em

[low plinth]

NO

Too many people get hurt

Because they wanna put them hands on a fluffy cow

[gleaming fable]

If I die touching the things I love

That'll be an alright way to go

[low plinth]

lol

I guess that's you

[gleaming fable]

Also, is not the fluffiest cow I've seen to date

Not counting Scottish highlanders, which I also want to touch.

[low plinth]

I like heifers

[gleaming fable]

Heifers are cute. But then they grow up into ornery ol cows

[low plinth]

When we was on the ranch we had a calf that would head butt you when your back was turned and when you turned around it'd run off. Mom also started hand feeding the cows cake which my cousin wasn't too excited about.

[gleaming fable]

I,mean.. to be fair it's not like it's good for'em

And then sets up expectations

You ever go to a pushy cow and NOT have it's favorite treat?

And then have to deal with the nose-in-the-air attitude?

Makes tossing a milk machine on miserable lmao

[low plinth]

Lol. I never dealt with a milk cow before. We only had heifers and one other breed. Good ranch cow. Tasty too if took care of right and it wasn't a bull.

[gleaming fable]

Well heifers are just young un-bred cows. What color was the other breed?

[low plinth]

Brown

I remember my cousin not liking them for whatever reason

[gleaming fable]

Mhh.. like this?

[low plinth]

Yeh

[gleaming fable]

Or more like this

[low plinth]

More like that one

[gleaming fable]

That's a red angus

[low plinth]

Other ones were too short

[low plinth]

Ahh

[gleaming fable]

The first one is a Dexter

[low plinth]

Mmm sounds too exotic for my cousin.

That was so many years ago now

[gleaming fable]

Haha

[low plinth]

legit 4 or 5 years ago now. I hated that place and that side of the family but the ranching was fun.

[gleaming fable]

Cows are just love
They're the best part of any situation

[low plinth]

Yeah, they were cool.

[dense hamlet]

Cow's are cool, but they taste good aswell.

[wise shore]

They do!
Nice T-Bone Steak with BBQ sauce 🥩

[low plinth]

Bleh, BBQ sauce?

[wise shore]

Yes! Some good Texas BBQ sauce

[dense hamlet]

BBQ Sauce >>>

[gleaming fable]

honest question

and this should probably be in off topic at this point, so I'm gonna go there

[upper dune]

Thanks!

[upper dune]

They were really fun to watch. They would have little play fights with other calves every now and then

[gleaming fable]

My heart 🥹

[upper dune]

There were probably a 100-150 calves in that herd aswell

And I’d say 500+ total bison in that one herd

[sleek shale]

Smol <3

[amber brook]

Im Very Fawn Of This>
🤣

[frosty steppe]

baby roe

[trail ocean]

a dragonfly i managed to tale a photo of

Was at a restaurant with a view a few months back

Phone background which i think was a nice photo i took

[dense hamlet]

If you did step 2m in front u could have made one without the glass.

[wispy ginkgo]

Lens?

A what brand?

[sleek shale]

70-200mm F 2.8 IS III USM from Canon on 200mm

(It's a fawn from the roe deer who lives near our house, so it was really close :) )

On an Canon EOS R6 btw

[wispy ginkgo]

How far did u take that pic?

[sleek shale]

~20m I would say, maybe 25

[wispy ginkgo]

Do u recommend ur lens if the subject is far? ( 40-50 m)

[sleek shale]

Depends on what you wanna do.
In my case, because I really love closeups, no. But if you want more environment where the animal is shown, it's ok.
But I would prefere a 600mm for 50m xD

I think this one was over 50m?
You can do it, yes, but it's not what I love the most :D

But it's possible :D

[wispy ginkgo]

My god it looks gorgeous! Did u use the tripod?

[sleek shale]

Nope, all in the hand :D

[wispy ginkgo]

Wooow

[sleek shale]

I don't like using tripods, because I am not this flexible anymore

btw thats more the style I want, thats why I say 200mm is really short for me :D

[wispy ginkgo]

I have some trouble with my pics cuz when I take some, I have to edit them a lot cuz they don’t look sharp and they are really blurry and I some cases after the edit they look like fake, and I don’t like it…

[sleek shale]

(This last 3 pics are made in an game reserve, thats why the animals where closer than normal)

[wispy ginkgo]

Mouflons too?

[sleek shale]

It looks a bit like you need to crop a lot on your pics?
Because it looks like the resolution isn't really high.
In this case it's normal that the pics aren't this sharp, because your processor can't resolute them, the compression would be too big

[sleek shale]

Yeees

Also Sika :D

(And red deer too, but they wasn't close to the fence and were behind fences because of danger for kids. Same the boars)

Oh and fellow deers also, but there I didn't see a male and the femals where quiet far away in distance)

[gleaming fable]

Would you mind DM'ing me the unedited files? I wanna see if I can tweak it a little to see if I can have any luck or if its just resolution limitation

[wispy ginkgo]

I don’t have them anymore

Wait

[gleaming fable]

Ah dang

[wispy ginkgo]

I have one but I can send it later

[gleaming fable]

Yeah whenever!

[wispy ginkgo]

What camera did u use? And it was full frame or PSC?

Also stunning pics!!

[sleek shale]

Also the R6 with the 70-200mm :D

[wispy ginkgo]

Thx!

[sleek shale]

Np :D
Ah and the R6 is btw a fullframe

[gleaming fable]

Ionno what your upload issue is but uhh

@shell plaza Discord doesnt support this file type -

[shell plaza]

No clue…

This is the picture

[gleaming fable]

See that loaded in just fine lol

also, handsome lad!

[low plinth]

[dense hamlet]

Are you dutch? @wise shore

[wise shore]

Yes, Sir. Born and raised 🇳🇱

[dense hamlet]

Could tell by the landscape😂

Long grass lands and planted trees in rows

[wise shore]

At the end of the planted trees is the queen's old palace. There is a huge monument at the other side, so she could like at it from her palace.

That is why it was planted that way.

[dense hamlet]

Even in the dutch "forests" all trees are planted. There's no such thing as an old forest.

[wise shore]

Are you serious? Or is this a joke? 😂

[dense hamlet]

I am serious.

[gleaming fable]

Today we all learn something new, I guess?

[wise shore]

It isn’t true.

Not all trees are planted in The Netherlands. 50% is, but not the other half.

[gleaming fable]

Still facts that are new to me!

[wise shore]

Nice 👍

[gleaming fable]

I didn't realize that even such a large portion of trees would be planted ones

[wise shore]

They are planting a lot of trees, also in other countries. I see it on the news sometimes.

They are planning to plant a 100 million trees here before 2030.

[gleaming fable]

How far along are they?

[wise shore]

They start doing it in 2020, and they planted 1.6 million back then, but I cannot find information about how much they have planted to this day in 2023.

[low plinth]

Did you know iceland is the largest consumer of bananas?

[gleaming fable]

I did not

[dense hamlet]

They are all planted brother, we don't have ancient forests.

The most nearby left-over ancient forest is in Poland.

All our forests have been touched by humans.

[wise shore]

I guess we both have different opinions about it 😁 That’s fine.

[dense hamlet]

I learned all of this for my ecological study on school in The Netherlands.

some forests are a few hunderd years old but they've been touched by humans either recently or in the past. if you want to read more about it google the term ''oerbos'' for dutchies.

[wise shore]

You cannot tell me that every single tree in the Netherlands is planted.

I am not going in a further discussion, because it isn’t going anywhere.

[dense hamlet]

Alright.

[wise shore]

Beautiful photo! 👌

[kind valve]

damn dude nice catch

[ocean shell]

100% right there is no such thing as real nature in holland evrything is man made .. in 1871 the last old forrest got cut down after that evrything is planed and maintained by humans 🙂

[dense hamlet]

Don't know the exact date anymore but you're right. Funny how I learned about the Netherlands during a dutch study and people still don't get it.🥲

[sleek shale]

I saw them again today, shaking :33

[gleaming fable]

that little NOSE

[dense hamlet]

Omg he has legs like meeee long and skinny😂😭

[halcyon gate]

we have probably 12 fawns in our neighborhood. there's even one doe that takes care of three.

[sleek shale]

Awwww, thats really cute!
We have this doe living next to our house, maybe ~20 meters next to us, and I think it's her first fawn :) Its also the only one she has

[slender terrace]

Enjoy the free feet pics

[low plinth]

I see no feet on that snek

you lied

[slender terrace]

Two snek

[low plinth]

Tried to capture the lighting that's also happening but not quick enough

[wise shore]

Thanks for sharing 👍

Fallow deer sweden april 2023

[gleaming fable]

I love them

[frosty steppe]

FALLOW

I love them

[tight wasp]

Tbh, this little fawn has grown to my heart ...

(and yes, i ruined the focus, but look at this little thing!)

[gleaming fable]

The ear flips 😭

[sleek shale]

ITS SO GODDAMN ADORABLE

You have NO idea HOW MUCH <3

[gleaming fable]

Oh I do
I really do lmao

We had a herd of fallow on our farm that we were letting breed and releasing of age males and females to a hunting preserve that owned the farm -

(Think like, my grandad was the caretaker of the farm and everything on it while the owners helped and ran the preserve)

And one mama had twins. One died idk during birth, before birth?

And she rejected the second one despite it being fine

[sleek shale]

Oh cool!

[gleaming fable]

For about a month we struggled to keep it thriving, like it full slept in bed with us bahaha

[sleek shale]

We also having fellow deers next to us. Need to ask the hunter their if I am allowed taking photos, because he has an amazing big fellow deer in this herd

[gleaming fable]

And then it just turned south. I think, even if mom hadn't rejected it, it wouldn't have made it. Like she knew something was wrong

[sleek shale]

Oh gosh <3 So cute!

[gleaming fable]

Omg yes. I hope they agree for you to!

[sleek shale]

I hope so too!
Just need to see them again, don't wanna annoy him in the house by ringing xD

[tight wasp]

Oh my :/

[gleaming fable]

Tell him you will take photos and offer him some of them, maybe? As prints?

[sleek shale]

Yeah, exactly thats what I will do :D

[gleaming fable]

Yeah.. it was a hard loss because like.. we thought it was coming along well, and then it just started failing to thrive. Like stopped wanting food, despite us giving appetite accelerant, vitamins, minerals - any and everything

[tight wasp]

Oh no :/
Nothing you could have done. Sometimes internal structures o.s. are damaged, or not quite build right because of oh so many things, that can go wrong while pregnancy. :/

[gleaming fable]

Yeah.. There were a couple of freak accident births with our cattle, makes sense it would also apply to deer. Thankfully she was the only one like that while we had them

pretty solid success rate imo

[tight wasp]

So True!

[tight wasp]

(Roe Deer i.p. have a very sensitiv rumen biome, acidosis because of corn o.s. are not very rare. They are so sensitiv to environmental influences)

This morning I decided to go fishing and just to eat breakfast at the lake. I left just before sunrise so I managed to take these pictures while having breakfast at the lake. These pictures were taken at 4:40 AM. Sadly I didn’t get any pike or perch while out there but oh well better luck next time.

Talking about deer. moose and elk aren't really to be compared with blacktail wt mule deer ect

[small spruce]

They push you out the way

And take the whole thing up

[low plinth]

If I could just get a tag

[warped glacier]

[upper dune]

I don’t know a lot about bighorn

[warped glacier]

About 12 rams on the hwy to the left of that picture aswell

More*

[upper dune]

Jeez

I saw this guy along with another dozen out of 53 in badlands national park

[low plinth]

That guy looks big

[upper dune]

From what I can gather he was pretty massive for that area

[low plinth]

Yeah

[warped glacier]

I personally think they are overrated but they look cool. Biggest ones you'll see are down in flats like that and the breaks

[low plinth]

Dad says they don't taste good but idk. I want one.

[upper dune]

Another crazy thing about that guy is when we told the ranger at the visitor center he didn’t seem to know of who we were talking about. And he didn’t have a tag while all the others I saw did

[warped glacier]

I'd hunt one for sure just isn't a lifetime goal or anything or need a big one 😂

[quasi night]

Bad pic but whateva

[amber brook]

Sorry for my camera and me shaking it

he scared me i was taking photos of another roe deer and i heard him coming from right

[low plinth]

Lol

I feel you, had that happen to me a couple times too.

Just I wasn't taking pictures

I thought he was charging at me

[amber brook]

What camera are you using ?

[wispy ginkgo]

What lens did u use? And how far were u? Anyways, stunning pics!!

[storm yoke]

Nikon Z8 and 200-500mm F5.6

[amber brook]

Jesus christ 4k for a friggen camera

[storm yoke]

It's expensive but worth it in my opinion

[amber brook]

i'm trying to get into photography and i need a tip,what would be the best camera to buy under 1000$ ?

[storm yoke]

Depends on what you want new or used and what brand

[sleek shale]

this

[storm yoke]

New cannon R10 Sony A6400

Are good options

[sleek shale]

Best tip: Go in your local camera store and take all models in your hand.

[amber brook]

prefferably for wildlife photography

[storm yoke]

But you can find incredible DSLRs used in good condition for around the same price

💀

Don't click that link btw

[sleek shale]

More important is getting a good lense, than an expensive body.

[storm yoke]

@gleaming fable @haughty canyon @spare acorn @meager sable can someone remove that link it's a scam

[small spruce]

Bro

People have already let the mods know

[storm yoke]

Ok I didn't know was just making sure it got removed 🙃

[amber brook]

i've been thinking about getting a Canon EOS 2000D + EF-S 18-55 IS + EF 75-300 DC

[sleek shale]

Can make a lot of fun for sure :D
I have canon my lifetime and be really happy with them.

[storm yoke]

75-300mm would have good enough range for wildlife

[sleek shale]

Or you just take an extender if you need a longer range

[storm yoke]

And the 2000d is a solid entry level camera

[sleek shale]

indeed

[sleek shale]

The 70-300mm was my first tele lense when I started xD
Loved it really much and used it many years!

[amber brook]

Have you got any photos from it ?

[sleek shale]

Ehmmm, let me search

I think this was made with them on a 400D

[amber brook]

also quick question,what's the difference between the 2000D and 4000D ?

[sleek shale]

looks like the 2000D is a bit better, a few MP more, bigger display, another options on the whireless and remote control

But not this much things

[amber brook]

MP as mega pixels right ?

[sleek shale]

4000D has 18 MP
2000D has 24,1 MP

So well, if they cost nearly the same, I would choose the 2000D I think

[sleek shale]

Yes, exactly, sorry

[small spruce]

Ahh fill that with explosives and ur got a bomber plain

Plane

[sleek shale]

:D
They where on a german airport I lived near by

[small spruce]

O

[sleek shale]

Here!
Thats also with the 75-300mm

On 300mm, F5.6, on an Canon 70D

[lapis wren]

Get something used. I recommend canon EF as I use it myself and feel like the cameras feel and color works well in all sorts of photography and work with other lens manufacturers like sigma and tamron. You can save a lot by purchasing a used camera. I'd say get something between professional and complete beginner as you will most likely want to upgrade from the beginner cameras and get something nicer if you decide to go that route and buy entry level. By buying something in between you won't need to upgrade once you get better at it. Also stay away from kit lenses like the 18-55mm as soon as you leave beginner stage. They suck. Good luck and have fun!

[amber brook]

@sleek shale i'm currently torn between a Canon EOS 70D for 800 bucks and a Canon EOS 2000D,could you also expain to me the difference between a mirrorless and a Mirror-reflective camera ?

[sleek shale]

Mirrorless are most time a lot faster and you see the camera settings in the view finder in the M and R versions.
A time ago, Mirror-Reflective (DSLR) cameras were the only one where you could see the "real" crop of your picture, now DSLM (mirrorless) can do that too

[lapis wren]

i got a 70d. I recommend it. I got mine for around 200 tho. I was lucky. it worked perfect and was in great shape. The difference between mirrorless and dslr is that the dslr has a mirror that reflects exactly what is shown through the lens. When you hit the shutter button you open the mirror and your sight is blocked for the time the photo is taken. When it has opened, the mechanical shutter blades open and close, dictating the exposure time for the picture. The higher the shutter speed, the shorter time the shutter blades open and close, freezing action easier. On a mirrorless camera, the mechanical shutter is still there along with an entirely digital shutter. The image seen through the viewfinder here is just a screen, showing what the cameras image sensor is seeing. When you hit the shutter, either the mechanical shutter blades start the exposure or the camera sensor does it all on its own digitally.

The mirrorless cameras tend to be better at autofocus as well, as they can track things like people, vehicles and animals intelligently with it's sensor, unlike the dslr which relies on the highest amout of contrast at the focus point to determine if the focus is set correctly.

[sleek shale]

Ah yes, that I forgot, thanks

[wise shore]

Kreealm-Wasserfall in Austria 🇦🇹

[lapis wren]

Can confirm: That is a waterfall

[lapis wren]

I believe it is worth to mention that mirrorless is what's popular right now as DSLR cameras are starting to die. If you go for canon, note that their mirrorless "R-series" are currently not open for other companies to manufacture lenses, other than canon themselves, so you will be limited to expensive canon glass until they open the R mount for all lens manufacturers to use, which is most likely coming in a few years. I would get a mirrorless for a bit more money so you can keep up with new lenses as there wil essentially be no more dslr lenses or cameras released.

[amber brook]

alright thanks

Have any of you taken pics with an android phone and binoculars?
