Joel, I'd love to know how you got that shot. I'm guessing it was captive, or were in a blind at the perfect location? I did not notice the lens you used, but I'm curious about that too.
...
Thank you for the tip. I assumed I was the only one that had this issue, and assumed it was me doing something wrong. I will attempt the fix in the near future.
I suppose I'm dating myself and perhaps assuming too much. Although, I've been to a few other weddings recently and always find myself speaking to the photographers. Every one of them openly...
I'll attempt to be make this as brief as I can. Our son got married to his wife at the height of Covid 19, there were eight of their closest relatives at ceremony and the dinner afterwards. I shot...
Johnathan I'm really digging your photo of the owl. Must be the new lens (lol).
On another note, I clicked on your photo and visited your SmugMug site. Of course I stalked your photos and was...
To be honest I have almost no interest in film as I barely make time to use my digital gear. Keep in mind that I still consider myself a beginner, but find myself learning from people on this forum...
Impressive set of photos for sure. I'm especially impressed with the forth photo when the owl was clearly behind the tree (white birch?) and yet stayed in focus. Amazing that you were able to lock...
Joel,
Fantastic shots. I have to ask were these shot with your 600mm or something else? It looks like you were able to get very close to the birds in most of the shots. Details and colors are...
Despite the fact that NYC is only a 40 minute drive or an hour train ride for, I only visit two or three times a year these days. That being said, there are so many options its hard to give you good...
Nice work Brant, looks like you certainly captured the event. I'm guessing it wasn't easy as the hands move very fast, the boxers are dancing on their feet the whole time and the lighting was likely...
I've been following a few items, watching for a deal. Nothing great yet, hoping for Cyber-Monday bargains. I noticed and read that sales volume was very good and many websites could not handle the...
Thank you to all that responded. I am learning a ton from you guys, thank you for sharing so much information. Alaska is a bucket list trip for me and I will certainly take all of your advise if I...
Jonathan,
Glad to hear the airports are not bothering photographers with loaded bags (yet).:D
Makes a lot of sense with regard to the low light situations (typically when I shoot wildlife), I...
Brant and others, have you had any issues at the airport with the Mindshift 40L and other bags this size? I'd hate to invest in a 600, larger bag, etc and find that they won't let me travel with...
Karasa, I am also trying to decide between the Canon 500mm F4 and 600mm F4, but I'm considering version II.
For me it comes down to ability to travel with the lens. I gather the 500 will fit...
Trip went very well, problem is I took too many photos... Now I have to download and cull them to a realistic number, family and friends are asking for photos and have a lot of work to do.
The...
Might just be me but it appears the photos above me are very inspiring, nice work by all.
Mark,
Thank you for the advise, I was able to find your 'secret' spot online. My plans are coming together, looks like I'll be renting a super telephoto for the wildlife and the Sigma 14 for the...
I just learned that I'll be visiting Colorado for four days, starting September 30, 2019. Wednesday and Thursday I'm attending a seminar in Broomfield (near Denver). As of this moment I have to...
Brant,
I found your search for the 'perfect backpack' very interesting. I also found it exhausting that you had to spend so much time searching for that perfect bag. With hundreds of choices...
When we visited Banff last winter I rented the Sigma 14 1.4. It performed flawlewssly, despite this being the first time I attempted night sky photography (the lens made me look better than my...
I take it back, after further review I think the one with the sharp pointy orange bill I found at the very bottom is NOT a puffin but another species I think. Can you guys (and gals) identify the...
The one I "think" I found is a the very bottom, left side about 1/4 over in the photo.
The loons are impressive, nice work. Makes me want to go get the 500 even more, but I have a pretty good idea that there is a little more to just having a great lens.
