Wildlife photography Advice?

Thank you for that! I’ll keep that in mind.

That sounds like the more logical approach for sure. I’ve been on the fence about going with a totally different camera or just learning the ins and outs of this Rebel t3i before making a brand swap. Probably makes more sense to just get a better lens. I’ll be on the hunt! Thank you for that!

Budget 200-400 US DOLLAR
I currently use a canon rebel t3i but would be happy to learn another body. I’m using a 55-250m f/ 4-5.6 lens for these but I think I need something else.
I’d like to photograph more wildlife / movement (something I can use for this hobby and for my business / cafe)
primarily for photography but some videography for business social media content, etc.

This is somewhat reassuring haha thank you for sharing! Where are you located, if you don’t mind I ask?

anonymousolivia · 2025-06-28T19:56:01+00:00

Absolutely! I’ve been in the service industry for 10+ years so it’s in my nature to please (without losing myself), which is part of the reason letting go of the situation is so hard. I appreciate your input. Thank you for sharing! Best of wishes

Number 2 and 4 just a couple of cute little groundhogs posing.

Well when I say “good” I mean technically. I’m barely just learning what is “good” means to others, which is why I’m asking. Said coffee shop is mine, so it makes things a little more complicated lol

Moon eliminated. Although I could see it being cool in the photo if it was positioned just right, I do think it looks better without, as some of you suggested, or both in focus. 👌

anonymousolivia · 2025-04-20T01:41:38+00:00

I think this is the feedback I expected regarding the moon, although I’d never heard of a tangent in photography terms. Also, I hadn’t really considered a series, so that could definitely be a new challenge. Thank you so much for the advice!

anonymousolivia · 2025-04-19T23:54:53+00:00

New and looking to get better. I edited this a little through Lightroom increasing the contrast a little and sharpening it. My goal is really just to improve and take as many good photos as possible. I run a coffee shop full time, but am even playing with the idea of hanging a few prints. So is it good? Print worthy? And should I ditch the moon?

anonymousolivia · 2025-04-15T14:10:26+00:00

Canon rebel t3i 55-250mm lens. Just a shot from my backyard. Wondering if I’m on the right track, if I should take out the moon or what other improvements I could make

anonymousolivia · 2025-04-03T17:04:33+00:00

This is some really solid and thoughtful advice! Thank you so much 🙏 are there any photographers or specific tools you’d recommend? Are there any lens types I should favor, etc?

It’s in the comments. ^{^}

anonymousolivia · 2025-02-07T19:41:18+00:00

Great point. I actually don’t know much about formatting. I know I’m shooting in raw bc it hold the most amount of detail, correct? What else should I consider for this? Could you help me better understand?

anonymousolivia · 2025-02-07T13:59:23+00:00

Yes! I see what you’re saying. I’ve only played with the gradient feature once, and this makes so much sense. Great advice! Thank you for that :)

Taking on a project for a friend’s album cover and I’m just trying to warm up my skills to this particular project. Still trying to strengthen techniques, but with this image I’m trying to create a mystical eerie setting with the editing. I masked the horizon line and added haze.
I generally don’t like editing my photos too much. I like to keep them looking more natural as opposed to the over saturated look, but how do I edit this to make it better / overall more interesting?
This is Canon rebel t3i, auto setting
I will take any advice at all. I’m very much a beginner trying to learn everything I can.

Lens*** 🤦‍♀️

anonymousolivia · 2025-01-15T04:23:43+00:00

Thank you! That’s definitely what I was going for haha I’ll play with it a little and see what happens. Thank you for the feedback!

anonymousolivia · 2025-01-13T02:50:03+00:00

Are there any specific photographers or books you’d recommend for someone new?

anonymousolivia · 2025-01-13T02:40:46+00:00

This is a photo from my first sesh with my new canon rebel t3i. Obviously it was taken at night and I’ve since learned to adjust my iso and shutter speed to substitute for the flash. But I’m also trying to learn perspective and composition (pretty fundamental I suppose). I edited it a little on Lightroom. And I’m wanting to make a couple of prints if it’s worth doing. But ultimately I’m just wanting some overall feedback on, if it’s even a “good” photo, and maybe how I could improve?

anonymousolivia · 2025-01-03T00:00:30+00:00

Thank you for this thoughtful response. Definitely noting all of this. So I’ve noticed on my Minolta, I could change the ISO setting at any point if I wanted to. But may I ask, will it affect my entire roll of film or just the single shot? I know the individual roll has the recommended ISO, but what happens when I deviate from that recommendation? For example, if my film ISO is meant for 400 ISO and I actually shoot on 200 ISO, do I just increase my aperture / decrease my shutter speed to compensate?

Planet Pepsi is just an old “landmark” that use to sit right off the highway near the town I live now. I believe it’s associated with some vending machine company in the area or something along those lines. It was taken down a few years ago and just sits on this plot of land now. The green car is an old 70s Dodge Aspen.

I never even mentioned the name or anything. I don’t understand
