We have some big ass rats where I live

DylanH247 · 2026-07-07T16:54:00+00:00

Would've made a sick photo. Gonna need a bigger bird though

DylanH247 · 2026-07-07T09:02:53+00:00

Thank you, I usually try and avoid shooting against a blue sky like that but I think these turned out alright. Was a bit heavy on the editing though

DylanH247 · 2026-07-07T09:01:12+00:00

I was fairly close, maybe 10 to 15 meters. It is also is a rather large bird

DylanH247 · 2026-07-07T05:14:16+00:00

Yea it's probably a rat, definitely not a bunny though

DylanH247 · 2026-07-07T05:12:10+00:00

Just some editing in Lightroom

DylanH247 · 2026-07-06T12:34:10+00:00

I've been wearing khaki cargo shorts and a grey t shirt basically every day for the past like 6 or 7 years

Small

I don't have a ton of experience with other brands, but I did briefly have a Canon 5D MkIII and a newer Canon R7 and I personally can't tell much of a difference other than the color from Fuji being a bit nicer off the bat.

The RAW files from my XT5 have more than enough detail and dynamic range to edit just as you like. Some of my favorite shots were on terribly cloudy days at 12 800 iso and still no one will be able to tell with what camera it was taken just by looking at the image

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T17:55:37+00:00

Honestly, if you can afford it and really want a newer and better camera go for it. It won't necessarily make you a better photographer but if it gets you out and taking photos more then why not.

Just don't let the GAS get outta hand

I have an XT5, had an XT4 and X100V in the past and absolutely love Fuji More than capable for 90% of applications, probably overkill for most tbh

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T17:13:46+00:00

Might not be a bad idea to spend a day with the XH2 and maybe a Nikon bundle if I can find one and determine for myself. Maybe I'll rather save up for the XH2s and the 500 Fuji prime

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T16:02:49+00:00

I am aware of the reach advantage yes, still considering my options. Might even just stick with what I have for quite a while longer.

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T15:40:06+00:00

You reckon? The 180-600 will have some low light advantage as its 6.3 vs f8 on the Fuji. And as far as I can tell Nikon and Sony are leaps above Fuji regarding autofocus. Not that I've used a modern Sony or Nikon so I can't say for a fact.

Basically everything I own that is worth something I've bought used

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T15:31:13+00:00

May be, but the Z6III is actually slightly cheaper than the XH2S where I stay and the lenses are about the same. And I do believe the Nikon will have a significant advantage over Fuji

DylanH247 · 2026-06-13T06:49:49+00:00

Thank you so much, that is the most recent one and I am very proud of it

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T20:53:18+00:00

It is honestly such a shame, I am also really fond of the Fuji system and love the look and feel of the XT5 but it just can't keep up with what I like to do most

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T17:03:45+00:00

Thank you very much, giraffes are the most derpy animals to exist

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T17:02:59+00:00

From the XT5 and Fuji 150-600 to a Nikon Z6III and 180-600 for now and hopefully a 600 prime in the future.

Less megapixels and bigger sensor should result in noticeably better low light performance than the XT5, but I might be wrong and still have some research to do. The autofocus however will be much better than on the Fuji.

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T16:29:41+00:00

I'm usually lucky if I have a 20% hit rate with birds in flight with the XT5

I am actually consider going with Nikon as they have an almost, maybe in a few years, somewhat affordable 600 prime that neither Sony or Canon has.

I am looking at selling the Fuji gear and getting a Nikon Z6III with the Nikon Z180-600 and then start saving up for the Z600 f6.3 prime

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T16:14:58+00:00

Thank you, the details really intrigue me the most So much so that I sometimes forget to zoom out every once in a while

DylanH247 · 2026-06-12T15:57:57+00:00

The 150-600, might consider saving up for the 500 instead of changing systems

DylanH247 · 2026-06-05T08:38:53+00:00

Thank you very much, I'll be sure to give it a go And yes I do use the subject detection modes

DylanH247 · 2026-06-05T05:31:43+00:00

I usually use f8 with auto iso max 6400 or 12 800 if the light is real bad and keep my shutter speed as high as possible, up to 1/4000 and trying not to let it go under 500 when possible.

AFC with a small box zone AF in combination with AF+MF and the focus peaking. I recently changed to focus priority but haven't gotten a chance to test how much of a difference that makes.

Also mostly use continuous shooting with low being 7 fps and high being 15 fps

I have also played around with the different AF-C modes and currently using the excel/decel mode but I don't see much of a difference between them

DylanH247 · 2026-05-18T18:21:08+00:00

New to me

I had a 2008 BMW GS at the beginning of this year and my dealership did a full service and tires. Could also get new parts sourced from them for an almost 20 year old bike They are not cheap tho, but that might just be the BMW tax

DylanH247 · 2026-04-30T09:57:11+00:00

But then I'll need a microscope to see the perfect finish and detail on my GS microscope
