One owl is a hard drinking renegade with a loose mouth and the other is a veteran on their last day on the job.

The D500 tracking and FPS plus native lens auto-focus speed is amazing as long as you have the aperture and shutter speed to get the head stopped and in focus you are very likely to get a "winner" shot. With mirrorless and lens adaptors from what I read the speed of AF is not as good I think that this will lead to less winner shots for BIF whereas for landscapes/portraits it's not an issue. M4/3 seems interesting with "2x crop factor" i.e. carrying around much smaller gear but still having "600mm equivalent" reach (I know is is controversial) but the results seem okay.

 Great Crested Grebe Courtship Dance by Aves Lux, on Flickr You get up at 6am, pack the 400mm and 1.4x get there and wish you could afford the 600 f4 cos 560mm at f8 isn't cutting it. jarlywarly fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Is that a loving Quetzal? Jesus man great shot. You can expose a little low and then hope that you can recover the shadows on the subject in post. Also use exposure bracketing and use the shot that worked the best once you get it back on a your computer screen.

Swarmin Swedes posted:Ha ha small world. Yeah I haven’t really gotten a chance to get in and do a lot of editing since I have been traveling and have been just airdropping them to my phone and editing with Lightroom Mobile. Definitely need to get in and work with the RAWs. Never really worked with birds or wildlife photography so definitely going to be a learning experience. great set, hummingbirds and birds of paradise are the epitome of exotic.

It looks like a juvenile of some type of passerine, they can be hard to tell species as often the full adult plumage is very different to the juve, maybe some sort of chat or pipit. If it were the UK id say European Robin.

Honestly I find the best way with birds like that is to use continuous AF with back button focus hold the focus button down and take bursts of as many shots as possible and most likely one or two should be focussed spot on. Trying to check critical focus down a viewfinder before shooting with a small moving subject is difficult and just means you miss shots. With editing check focus before import, do a few basic adjustments then come back to it after while I tend to come back a few times before I'm happy with the edit, I find brightness a big issue, my main monitor is quite bright so I generally have to check on a few devices before I upload.

So I've hired a lens for week taken a week off work at the end of this month, largely to go to a specific hide and take a specific photo. Someone just burned the hide down. Just need a place to vent.
