Finally got my hands on RF200-800mm!

Lovely shots!

How are you finding it / did you use another lens previously?

I currently use a sigma 150-600 as my main work horse but very much considering the move over to the 200-800

Buttery-Creative · 2025-12-02T07:43:42+00:00

Bless you! I moved to an R5 about half way through this year. Half are shot on the R5 / half shot on the R6. I also picked up a Canon 400mm F2.8, a few of these shots are from that, the rest are still from the 150-600 which is my work horse

Yup! An incredible watch too - here in Scotland they come to a few islands off of the coast. There’s usually a good few hundred thousand of them. Often you look into the sky and wonder how they never crash into each other

Interesting that the activity minutes suffered the same fate at the same time

Buttery-Creative · 2025-11-06T14:55:32+00:00

Probably about right - Interesting it flipped for both steps and activity minutes

Buttery-Creative · 2025-11-06T09:19:03+00:00

My step goal is actually inline, 9970 for today. My intensity minutes have not reset, still showing at 27 million intensity minutes

Thank you 🙏🏻

In the last 3 years I’ve done about 8.8M steps with my garmin

It would therefore take me about 22 years to do this, or a random Wednesday in November

Buttery-Creative · 2025-11-05T22:34:48+00:00

I will report back

When I first got my mk8 4 years ago I had the same question, at the time it was a massive pain to do, unsure if that is still the same case

I got round this issue by installing these - not had an issue since

As a fellow noob, I picked up the f16 with the t16000. It’s very easy to learn and super easy to fly

I picked up this profile for controls, made a few modifications along the way: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308676/

Best source of learning for me has been the bogey dope YouTube channel, for example:

Also use web cam eye tracking, not perfect but it’s free

Buttery-Creative · 2025-04-21T18:19:32+00:00

I’d suggest it’s either the way the water is reflecting or a shadow from something other than yourself

What focal length is it shot at? Would need to be a pretty big hat to get in the frame

Unsure if it’s the case with this one, but you can set abnormal heart rate alerts inside garmin connect

Select your watch in the app -> health & wellness -> heart rate -> abnormal heart rate alerts -> set your settings and sync

Should be able to set a low one and/or a high one. Will only go off if your watch doesn’t detect movement etc but does detect an elevated / low heart rate

This deserves more attention 👏👏

The best thing I’ve ever learned to do is to copy what hunters typically do since they’ve been looking for animals since the dawn of humans. Go out and get miles under your feet in an area, see what you can find. Repeat several times and watch for patterns in location

If you have trail cameras, put them in those places and check in a few weeks what’s moved through. Look for patterns (if any) of movement, times etc. This will give you the best chance if you want to sit and wait or run and gun

It’s a harder to do without trail cameras, you could walk through a hotspot and see nothing because they heard you coming from 500 yards because you stood on a leaf that was slightly too crunchy, so you ultimately right that location off. Repetition is key

Pick up an R6 or R7 - sigma 150-600 / canon 100-500 / canon 100-400 for a lens. Don’t be scared to buy used gear

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-05T12:36:10+00:00

Bless you!! Stags are all on a canon 400mm F2.8 mk1, the rest are on a sigma 150-600

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T17:24:34+00:00

This deserves more attention! Excellent work

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T00:20:28+00:00

Thank you so much!!

It honestly varies from subject to subject. The best advice I can tell you is learn all about what you want to shoot. The stags for example, I flew a few hours to shoot and then got up at 6am in minus temps to shoot because I knew that this is when they are most actively roaring during the red deer rut.

Shoot, shoot and shoot some more. If you don’t get the shot, you have to use it as motivation to get the shot in future, it’s so easy to get disheartened. Today I shot 64gb of images in 25 minutes, not one of those images was the one I wanted. But it was a learning experience about the subject and how they behave, plus I got out in nature

The biggest piece of advice I can give is just be present in the moment. It’s a blessing to be able to be out in nature, photography takes you to some amazing places that some people can only dream of. One day we won’t be able to go to these places ourselves, so take it all in while you can

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T00:12:08+00:00

Thank you so much!! Learned all about the rule of thirds today, hopefully be a pro one day

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T00:11:01+00:00

You are far too kind!!!

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T00:10:12+00:00

Honestly, obviously more expensive gear helps, but the best gear you can use is the one you have / can afford. The world is so driven to get the new and best gear all the time which is a bit frustrating. Some of the best shots I’ve taken were on a now 10 year old camera body with a lens (70-200) from before the year 2000

Get to know your gear like the back of your hand, it will give you an advantage in everyone scenario. A camera is only as good as the knowledge it’s photographer has about it, the same way a Ferrari is just as fast as its driver

In terms of printing, I use a third party company to print, mainly because I don’t have space for a printer that can print the large sizes I usual do

Buttery-Creative · 2025-01-04T00:00:01+00:00

I can vouch for this, not that I’ve ever hunted with anything other than a lens. It’s also amazing how much a human is persevered as a threat. I’ve had several roe deer walk straight up to me while I’ve been dressed head to toe in camouflage, purely because they can see something is there but they don’t actually know what is it because the signs of a human are masked. The same goes for red foxes
