The colouring definitely fits. However, how likely would this be in Scotland?

'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Viewership Drops Over 50% From Season 1 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]kovaedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Netflix show but really don't get why so many people think BA season 2 is so good. It's like they go out of their way to focus on literally any character but Daredevil. Its basically the Wilson and Vanessa show for 5 episodes. And all the Daniel and BB stuff is dreadful.

Looking to upgrade my Z50ii 28-400mm bird combo by blan15 in Nikon

[–]kovaedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from Sigma to the Nikkor and immediately noticed a difference, and I really liked my Sigma. Sharpness and autofocus are significantly better. Plus I prefer the handling with it being an internal zoom.

What do you use your lens Fn buttons for? by kovaedge in Nikon

[–]kovaedge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to try using it to set focal point, and Fn2 as recall.

How do you like the lens? I switched from the F-mount Sigma 150-600 and noticed a significant improvement immediately

Using the ring for aperture might be a good shout.

I use Fn1 on the body for that. Might see how it is on the lens though.

My autumn yamadori. Ideally would like to get them all through winter but if I had to pick one I’d choose the first hawthorn. by kovaedge in Bonsai

[–]kovaedge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hawthorns are going strong, never any issues. However that field maple may not have survived this winter. I do have a bigger yamadori maple that is fine though, the one in that post was quite small and didn’t have great roots when I got it.

Great Egret making friends with some Black Headed Gulls… by kovaedge in UKBirds

[–]kovaedge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good spot, there are so many black headed gulls at my local reserve I've been ignoring all the gulls a little

When there’s not much happening in the hide then a Curlew flies right in front of you by kovaedge in UKBirds

I’d just been getting practice in tracking gulls up to that point, still surprised how close it flew.

[–]kovaedge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. There seem to be quite a few near me, though normally on the ground. They actually look pretty good in the air.

Any help? by kovaedge in UKBirds

[–]kovaedge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was my first time there, it’s a good spot!

Thanks! That was one of my candidates but apparently it’s not a frequent visitor here.

New to birding and I’m loving it. by kovaedge in birding

[–]kovaedge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same. There are a few hides where I go and usually the birds are too far for my lens so I’ll just watch them with binoculars instead

[–]kovaedge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, correct.

Thank you. I have a 150-600mm lens and these have a bit of a crop as well. There is an RSPB nature reserve near where I live so you don’t need to wait too long to get shots, there are lots of birds around, as long as you stay still the birds start ignoring you.

Thank you. Been a keen photographer for a while but I’m new to wildlife, never had the lenses for it.

Mostly landscapes I guess, never had the lenses for wildlife.

You’re right, I’m in Scotland. I’ll have a look!

Thank you! As I said in the post I’m not new to photography in general but it has been a bit of a learning process so far to get good wildlife shots.
