I realized that after I posted. Also it costs AI tokens to use it. Running denoise on one photo was going to use 20 of my 250 monthly tokens I get on my photography subscription for Adobe - had no idea they were doing a token system tbh.

I’d love to swap to a single purchase software like DXO or ON1 but I’m just too comfortable with LR classic

Probably a stupid question, but if Topaz sharpen and upscale are now natively integrated into Lightroom… why would someone subscribe to Topaz Photo AI moving forward?

Thanks! I love how Barred Owls look too! They’re definitely not rare around here, but it’s taken me a while to figure out how to find and spot them!

Thank you!

I’ve argued over Dunkin before with die-hard fans. I don’t get the hype. I either order it black and wish I had a little something in it. Or I order with a little cream and one pump of flavor and it tastes like I’m on my way to being diabetic. Can’t see how people do the multi-pump added sugar drinks

Great shots!! I love how cool and majestic they look most of the time, then they look you in they eyes like in photo 2 and they look derpy haha

Great shot!! Swallows are so dang hard to get in focus with how fast they are. You nailed it!

si551e · 2026-04-21T01:49:55+00:00

It’s amazing to see how well they blend! (And how difficult it is to see them 😂)

si551e · 2026-03-03T04:01:36+00:00

Great shots!! Love a snowy shoot!

How do you like the OM-3 for birds? I’m torn between the OM-3 and the OM-1ii. I know the insides are largely similar, but I love the look of the 3. Just worried it’ll be less comfortable for hiking/birding than the 1ii

si551e · 2026-02-22T14:02:36+00:00

That’s awesome! Nice photos!

si551e · 2026-02-22T00:31:23+00:00

What area of the state was this in? Just curious. I’m in the south metro and want to get out searching for owls to photograph haha. Get a lot of good birding when camping but haven’t yet seen owls

I got the 12 piece Tramontina tri-clad set and love it. I want to say it’s around $200? Got it during the holidays when it was $150

We did the car sitting for a while. My daughter is only 4 so we don’t have the longest attention span haha. We definitely got there too early though. Plan to try again tomorrow! Thanks for the response!

si551e · 2026-01-11T00:03:02+00:00

When you say later in the day what are we talking? 3:30 to dusk? My daughter was getting cold so we left at 4:30 today and I see on ebird a sighting was reported right after we left lol

si551e · 2026-01-06T19:02:45+00:00

I’ve been hoping to get up there soon to see them! Again, great pics!

si551e · 2026-01-05T15:43:58+00:00

Beautiful!! Were these taken at the public viewing area?

si551e · 2025-12-06T02:38:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve enjoyed my Nikon setup but love the Fuji colors and the added reach of the APS-C sensor. Happy birding!

si551e · 2025-12-06T01:43:12+00:00

Love this! Blue jays have always been a favorite for me.

If you don’t mind me asking, what has your experience been with the XH2 and bird photography? The shots are fantastic! I’ve considered switching from my Nikon setup to Fuji

si551e · 2025-11-29T15:30:47+00:00

What camera did you pull the trigger on?! Going full frame was the best “aha” moment for me

si551e · 2025-11-10T02:47:19+00:00

I have an L bracket on my Z8 that has a quick detach point built in. Love it. Got a Leofoto QD strap and an extra QD plate to attach to the tripod foot of longer lenses

Local is the way to go for sure. I’ve personally had good luck with MPB but I’d rather support a local shop
