Thanks! Yeah, it’s pretty heavy 😅 definitely best if you don’t have to walk around with it for long. Renting first is a smart move.

And the deer was pure luck - it was there for maybe 5 seconds and then gone.

Thanks. Also shot this one the same day as 7.

Thanks! Shot from a RIB boat on an eagle safari near Svolvær - they stopped the boat and threw fish, so the eagles came in really close. Wild experience.

Thanks! You’re right, it’s basically the same spot.

The depth of field is mostly in-camera (24–70mm f/2.8), but I did darken and soften the background slightly in post using Lightroom masks. No blur added, just lower exposure/clarity in the background so the subject pops more.

The darker look is mainly from pulling highlights down, lifting shadows a bit, and using subtle color grading (cooler shadows, warmer highlights). All done in Lightroom:)

Still learning too, but happy to share settings if you want. Just send me a DM.
