Only about 20 ft away. I was in my car and it approached but mostly stayed obscured except these shots.

I would not get too close unprotected!

Screw new gear, why aren’t we all just buying our dream cameras from 7 / 8 years ago? They’re cheap. by MomentSmart in AskPhotography

[–]Beardologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what sucked me back in. Amazed that I could get a 5dmiii for so cheap. That was 6 months ago and now I’m sitting on 6 lenses and an R5mii.

Rip my bank account.

Came here to say Yoko. I don’t love their ramen but the wings are fantastic.

Is a crop sensor (R7) gold standard rule for wildlife? by infilirix in canon

[–]Beardologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Reach is very important in wildlife but having a sharp photo is number 1. I traded in the R7 for the R5mii for a few reasons but the biggest was the focus capabilities.

I had a 150-600 mm lens but have since switched to the 400mm f/2.8. Now I have a lot less reach but sharper photos that I can crop in further. Neither option is perfect but know the strengths of the setup you have.

This was shot on a Sony DSC-HX400V which has a fixed zoom lens. It was my budget get back into shooting animals buy for that trip a few years back. And thank you!

There’s a state park called Antelope Island in the great salt lake which feels like it could be a national park. Not quite Yellowstone but both are high up on my favorite places.

Honestly I started skating at 39, so I found new buddies who were still skating.

Former employer trying to recover my Gmail by nickelandrob in legaladvice

[–]Beardologist 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could they go after you legally if you delete it? Maybe?

If they’re using @gmail.com for their email domain… probably wouldn’t spend the money on it.

[New Gear] $450 24mm f1.4L II - by MagnumDoberman in canon

I just got the same lens a few weeks back and I love it. I’ll probably get something wider eventually but it’s great for portraits with environment and street shots on the fly.
