I love both shots of the Polar Bear. How long did you hang out at the enclosure to get those? My wife is always in such a hurry to see the next thing.

I scattered a den of Carolina anoles while working on my roof this week. This one went from brown to green pretty fast when it got out into the sun.

Checking the timestamps from my first shot to last, I'd say about 25 minutes. Luckily, Kali (the polar bear) was pretty energetic, so my girlfriend and our two other friends with us were happy to hang and watch for awhile. But going alone would also work well. What I was pleased about was that all of my shots of Kali were viewed through a glass barrier. Have some bonus Kali photos.

The texture of the wet polar bear fur and anole skin is fantastic.

 Spotted this lil guy on my walk home from work the other day. This is the first half decent non-smartphone picture I've ever taken. Just got my a6000 a couple weeks ago and haven't had much time to get out. I'm super thrilled with how it turned out for how little experience I have

I went to the mouth of the Mad River to see if the seals had pups yet. They didn't. seal-colony by Redwood Planet, on Flickr  seal-surface by Redwood Planet, on Flickr Some rowdy Caspian Terns were fighting above the seal colony.  tern-chase by Redwood Planet, on Flickr

Like those photos. Talking about the title of this thread, would a 230mm lens (345mm equiv) be enough range to take photos of bears (in national parks, not zoos) without getting too close? e: Not while solo hiking, either from a vehicle or with a group of people hiking.

What kind of bears and are they in an environment where they're used to humans? That's more than fine for the black bears that live around here and wander around the golf course (hell 70mm is usually enough for those) but I'd stay a lot further away from Grizzlies or bears that live in more remote locations. Either way, the answer is yes, but your shots of black bears would likely be a lot more closeup than shots of grizzlies.

Something like grizzlies in yellowstone was what I was specifically thinking about.

Then yeah, you won't get any closeups, you'll want bigger range than that, but you should be able to get some decent-ish far-off shots with that kind of range.

I don't know, a Ram 3500 might not be fast enough. Probably need a Ferrari to be sure.

My Sigma 150-500 is dead as gently caress and out of warranty. So I'm actually sort of excited to have a reason for getting a new toy. Is the newer Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary the current "king of budget telephoto" lens? There's also the Tamron 150-600, but surprisingly people seem a lot happier with the Sigma. The Sports version looks mighty nice, but I can't see myself trekking about and holding that thing for a few hours.

Not sure if your using Canon or Nikon but I just got the Nikon 200-500 and love it, the sharpness is amazing and worth the extra cost if you can swing it.

So something new did come out while I wasn't paying attention, excellent. It loses a bit of range compared to the new Sigma, but I rarely had that as an issue with my old one so it's not a bad thing.

Turns out the Sigma 150-600 (S) and the Nikon 200-500 are about the same price in Europe, making the choice difficult again. I'll swing by a shop tonight to hold both and see how the weights feel, but seems like in terms of AF the Sigma wins out, and birds in flight sure love to gently caress up my focus. e. jesus christ the Sigma S is heavy Mango Polo fucked around with this message at 13:01 on May 1, 2016 |
