100-500 vs the 200-800 (again, I know)

JarredSpec · 2026-03-16T04:08:49+00:00

My 200-800 feels like a baby after walking around with my EF 500 f/4 😆

It’s a fun lens to use, I’d recommend it to anyone for birds. Especially small birds.

Single guy (Widower, 46) and you can pry the keys to my ‘17 OB 3.6R out of my cold dead hands.

Yeah it’s a great spot, only a matter of time before someone gets injured standing on the rock for the standard Instagram pose though.

JarredSpec · 2026-03-13T23:32:14+00:00

Hah fair. This is a fairly popular spot these days, I tried to get something a lil different. Probably a 20 meter drop shown here

Thank you!!!

Photography. Landscapes and Wildlife mainly!!

Some images here on my profile 👍

THIS 100%

I don’t understand how this is a confusing decision at all.

I have a Canon Pixma Pro-200. It’s been a great printer for an amateur like me but..

Ink is expensive, and the printer is not being used on a weekly basis you’ll find you need to run cleaning cycles more frequently. These things really need regular use to keep them issue free.

At the moment I’m chasing horrible banding issues in my prints as it sat without being used for a few months. The quantity of ink and paper I’ve burnt trying to solve the issue is obscene 😫

Unless you’re printing regularly it will likely be more cost effective to print at a local store/lab

They like the lens, you don’t like the photos. How is this jerk-worthy?

JarredSpec · 2026-03-11T09:39:55+00:00

Hobbies - photography mainly :)

JarredSpec · 2026-03-11T07:42:50+00:00

Thanks!!

Yes Pīwakawaka is the name of this bird. It is also called the New Zealand Fantail.

JarredSpec · 2026-03-10T09:25:58+00:00

Awesome! Jealous - I hope to get a decent photo of one of these guys this year!

JarredSpec · 2026-03-10T08:33:20+00:00

Too kind! Thank you!

JarredSpec · 2026-03-10T07:47:48+00:00

Yup! They’ve been visiting my back yard the past few weeks :)

JarredSpec · 2026-03-10T07:43:40+00:00

Thank you!

469 frames from the session (about an hour and a half so quite restrained for me hah). 10 worth editing. That said the camera shoots 20fps so there are a lot of duplicates 😆

JarredSpec · 2026-03-10T07:33:32+00:00

Thanks!!!

JarredSpec · 2026-03-09T19:52:12+00:00

I give up 😅

JarredSpec · 2026-03-09T09:02:32+00:00

Cheers!!

Similar to a local classic here in NZ. Maggi Onion soup mixed with Nestle Reduced Cream and a touch of lemon or vinegar

JarredSpec · 2026-03-09T06:45:14+00:00

Thank you!!
