Saw this little guy's nest, but only had 70mm on me. I thought I could get a decent shot of him sitting in the entrance, but he probably didn't like me standing under his tree.

Had to add artificial bokeh blur to make the bird pop. Does it look natural?

First time out with my dad's old camera setup he's given me. Touched it up a tiny bit with Windows' built in editor after converting it to jpg made it look really washed out and dull.

Getting a pipit with a ladybird through a gap in a fence was pretty lucky. I think that 'luck' element is why I like photographing birds a lot.

i really dislike bird photos which only show the bird. Without context. Probably became a trend due to social media like Instagram. I like it „zoomed out“. Maybe it’s just cope from my side because I can’t get closer…

Magpie Lark. Was having a ciggie and taking some test shots with my newly repaired and serviced Vivitar S1 70-210.I've not owned one of these old push-pull zoom focus ring style lenses before, I'm really enjoying it so far. Combined with the impressive sharpness this lens has and it might be pretty decent for taking backyard snapshits of the local birds.

I was chasing a heron around a pond, trying to get close enough for a food shot when I noticed a dark lump up in a tree. It was a barred owl.

Bird dudes, you're using long lenses for a lot of your shots. Any experience on how well Snoy's IBIS works with UNstabilized telephotos in the 400mm range?I got a great deal on an old 70-400mm SSM from a yard sale and it has no stabilization, I'm not sure if I should sell it at a normal price and put the proceeds toward a stabilized lens like a Tamron 50-400 or Sigma 100-400, or if my old A7III's IBIS will be just fine at 400mm. No, I can't test it yet, I'm hunting for a deal on an adapter. I do not currently have a telephoto that fits my mirrorless and my biggest DSLR lens is 300mm.

Anon06/08/26, 19:09No.4513206

So I have a crazy idea. I'd like to try birding with a 35mm film camera. The film I'd like to try is kodak ecktachrome e100 so it can be cut up to put in slides for a kodak carousel projector. Do you think a 200mm lens is good enough or should I find something a bit longer? Am I just setting myself up for failure?

noob here... would 80mm be too small for birds? might get a 300mm in some time later but it would be manual, not sure if that's a problem for DSLR cause noob
