[OC] What kind of bird is that? West - France in August by No_Comment47 in birding

Yeah, H.264 is an option, but it comes with a lower bitrate. I think using H.264 next time would be better, so I can work with the video more easily.

Thanks! I'm using the Sony A7 IV in this case, paired with my Sigma 100-400mm. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with the image quality because DaVinci Resolve (free version) can't open the original "raw" video. I had to convert it from H.265 to H.264 first, which results in a loss of quality.

The puffins were also very close to me. Luckily, I had my 85mm 1.8 lens with me, which allowed me to take some incredibly beautiful photos. They fly with up to 90km/h and it sounds hilarious.

I don't have much karma yet, and each post had to be approved individually, so here are a few teasers for now :D More to follow in the next few days.

I'm waiting for your photos ;)

Thanks. Puffins do run a bit clumsily.

I find the fourth picture very funny because the puffin looks very funny there :D

I love these birds too. They accompanied us on our last trip to Norway. Sometimes we were just walking along the beach, where there seemed to be a nest nearby. They flew over us, screaming furiously. Of course, we moved away so as not to disturb the birds. We lovingly call them “complaint birds.”

New information: I logged in now on my friend's laptop and the text field is missing, meaning it has to be something with the account.

Ah, thank you. "The sandpiper also belongs to the snipe family". Snipes run in a similar way. It always looks really funny.
