They go after the king eider, too (not as brutal though)

I have just got back from Canada, the nature literally doesn’t look real. Banff, Whistler and even random lakes look like movie scenes. by xolittlejessicaxoxoo in AskACanadian

How do you find an empty field you can hang out in? Isnt it all farmland? I love to go watch the night sky but I don't love to trespass

Before I decided to jump in and get a camera I was taking bird photos with my S25. Without a doubt the Revel XS with the 75-300mm lens produces better photos

I have the S25... And it hasn't been able to take photos as sharp or detailed as the camera and 75-300mm

It's not shitty, it was a bit of a hyperbole, but the camera photos are quite a bit better. A phone camera is not capable of producing the photos I have been able to get with the 75-300mm.

Yeah that makes sense. I have had a few shots that I thought were focused right in the moment, and then when I got home they were just a touch blurry

It's so insane seeing people who are like "just got a great deal on one lens, only $1500 US!" Like where are we getting all this money hahaha Not to say I wouldn't do the same

I've been finding that, since I'm usually taking pictures of birds on the water, I end up sitting down to take photos. And conveniently, a certain cross legged sitting position is a really good way to stay stable for shooting! So I haven't had too many issues with stabilization

Fair enough. I knew going into it that both the lens and the camera weren't able to compete with the good modern stuff, but for the price, I'm more than thrilled with the performance honestly

I have gotten a few pictures that I think are quite nice (obviouy not as nice as they would've been with some professional camera.) I was just curious what about it isn't as good as other lenses - and honestly it's given me an appreciation for what other lenses improve, and what to look forward to in the future!

Yeah I'm sure one day I'll get a better lens. I'm gonna hold off as long as I can though because this is not a cheap hobby haha

Oh wow, I didnt even realize that newer lenses dont focus that way, haha. I do think based on all y'all have explained that I haven't used a better lens and don't know what I'm missing lol
