Jim W Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This is from less than a year ago. I had recently retired and had bought a good camera for my traveling and so I could try out wildlife photography as a hobby. I am sitting at my kitchen table reading the user manual when a hawk landed in a tree in my back yard. I really had no idea what I was doing, but I fired off a couple of shots with my new camera. All in all, it was not a terrible picture. But in my haste and confusion with operating the camera, I did not get it fully in frame and cut off its tail! Other than some test shots at my kitchen wall, this was the first "real" picture with my new camera. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcoot Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I'm not sure how I was able to get this close to a shoveler, but the cattails got in the way! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossyhorn Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The shutter speed was a bit too slow. Downy woodpeckers are fast! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I may have been a little fast on this one! 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 So Nat Geo and I aren't on the same page. This is what I get when the sun is shining directly into my lens and the subject is inside a dark place. I gotta wait for a cloudy day to try it again. I don't think this pair is going to be going anyplace. This is highly photoshopped! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerri Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Too fast and very bad angle lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossyhorn Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I was trying to get closer, and get an angle that didn't show the wire. A group of mountain bikers came through, and the eagles took off. I saw several hikers and runners pass nearby, and they were oblivious to these majestic birds. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Mostly the other members' patience? Inserting a photo. I couldn't find a more appropriate place to test it. For some reason I've always had trouble getting consistent results uploading photos here. (That's most embarrassing for a network administrator!). Dragging and dropping never worked for me before the '18 crash. I had a method that was working, and I had notes about how I was doing it, but it stopped working this week. For giggles, I tried drag-and-drop for the first time since the reboot and it worked. Go figure. Then I deleted the photo to avoid cluttering up the thread any further.
