Hello fellow photographers.
About me. 73 years young, Shoot a Nikon D750, Love the outdoors, I have no particular Genre, If it moves, stands still or simply exists I'll shoot it.
I use Adobe LR & PS for post processing.
I have always wanted to catch a Kingfisher and this one dived 3 times catching a fish each time giving me plenty of time to get some shots of my first ever Kingfisher.
Sony A1 | 200-600G
I'd never been one for catching birds in flight, but this week, I caught one just on a whim.
It's a little blurry still (I only had 1000 shutter and focus was not auto or tracking)... but I kind of like the shot despite the empty space down below
Thoughts?
More or less my first bird picture.
Almost first actual attempt at a picture in general.

And im not entirely too sure how too crop…. It may have been my distance for the picture but if I get in really close on the zoom. It...
My wife and I were on an Audubon walk in S. California last week. The photo opportunities were completely ho hum normal. Nothing to get excited about. As we were approaching the car, there was a Great Blue Heron in the path.
I focused on the bird, set my Nikon D7000 to track and just...
We took a trip to Florida last week and these are a few of my shots. Love me some shorebirds. All taken with a Canon 7D Mark II and Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 G2.
Went on a trip this past weekend and came across a Snowy Owl while taking my Sam (3y/o named Apollo) to the beach.
Pics just for sharing, enjoy!

Managed to walk right up on top of this Crested Caracara. She really wasn't worried about me for several minutes, then she decided to head off to a nearby feast.

Hello all!
I would like to share the following with you;
Last year me and my wife have been travelling around, and in the last few months I have been sorting out our pictures (still a serious work in progress...).
But, I can say that I have finally completed to sort out all the bird pictures...
I spent two days of camping try to get a good landscape photo with my new Pentax K-1. I was getting frustrated because it was too dreary and gloomy and I was getting nothing good. Then this guy showed up by my tent. I only have a telephoto lens for my Olympus Em5 MK 2. Sometimes bigger isn't...
A more recent photo of mine. I'm kind of a bird nut and now that I'm back in New England I'm on a quest to capture as many of the types of birds here as possible.

There is a family of turkeys, about 8 or so of them, that roam around my house and my neighbors. I've been stalking them from my windows for days, despite the rainy, crap weather. So early one morning, I was letting the dogs out and saw the turkeys. I grabbed my camera, (poor dogs had to wait to...
I went on a nature walk today, with the same lens as before, hopefully these are better than the last ones. Haha.
I have some more of some little birds and ducks, but I don't feel they're good enough to keep. I don't know. Maybe I'll post them.
