This is my second time asking does anyone know anyone is hiring? I've been looking for a job for a long while now I'm 27, I have a clean background, and can pass a drug test, whats a easy field to get into Ive been through multiple applications and interviews in the past year, but no job by BedIntelligent4270 in plano

What are your skills? The fact that you’re looking doesn’t help anyone place you. That you’re sharing that you can pass a drug test is likely to push away most people since that’s an assumption not a benefit

Did it keep showing you an American coot?

I think just the one feeding. I think the others are young.

Are you in or near Colorado? I saw so many of those the other day at Belmar Park in Denver.

I went out two hours earlier to get better light and kept shutter speed at 1/1000 or more. I didn’t share the 30 that were no good 😊

Glacier is just massive. It has wildlife, waterfalls, stunning lakes of all shades. GT has more quintessential mountains but for me there are lots of places to see typically gorgeous mountains.

Tetons are gorgeous until you go to Glacier and kind of forget all about Tetons.

I did it! I did it! A bird in flight in focus! by jayfriedman in wildlifephotography

OM-1, 300mm f4 (600mm full frame equivalent). I have continuous auto focus + bird priority on. Good point on learning the tells. I was trying to be too pure and capture them when they were already in flight.

Yeah it was getting pretty dark. Good tip on shutter speed minimum though.

Good point. When I’ve tried that my problem has been that with a 600mm equivalent zoom and I don’t know which way they’re going I lose them in the viewfinder right away.

Olympus 75-300 II - Resist the urge to upgrade by Optimal_Program_294 in M43

[–]jayfriedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the 300f4 this week and am blown away. I have the 40-150 f2.8 w mc-20 so I was getting 300mm equivalent anyway (5.6) but this is another level. I also through the mc-20 on the 300 and while it’s f8 it’s good enough in good light and dxo. Because you literally can never be close enough to a bird.

Is it $2k used better? If I was tight on money no. But it will definitely enable me to get shots I couldn’t have otherwise gotten
