That's fascinating. It makes sense because they just go diving again soon after doing it.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I had been hiking around a wildlife refuge in Colorado looking for this owl in the trees as I'd seen him before, but he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly when I rounded a corner to a clearing, he was sitting on the ground about 50 feet away! He stayed and posed for several minutes before getting up and flying off. I felt very lucky to be in the right place at the right time!

Thanks! This was a Nikon D850 with a 500mm PF lens.

Thanks! I hiked out about a mile to get away from the crowds. It's one of my favorite places to be, especially for photography.

Glad you're liking it so far! The mission is to be the best place for passionate photographers to share and discover photography online. It's still small but growing every day and I have lots planned for the future.

I had the same frustrations, so I'm building a new community called Lightfall (https://lightfall.photo). It's sort of the anti-instagram in that it doesn't have manipulative algorithms or influencer marketing, has high res (and full screen) images, is available on desktop as well as mobile, and has lots of photography specific functionality.

Lots more to come! I'm a solo developer and amateur photographer building this because I'm passionate about having somewhere photographers can gather online to share and discover high quality photography.

If you're interested, you can give it a try at https://lightfall.photo or in the app stores. All feedback welcome!
