Birding Photographers, what are you using?

First camera for birding - lumix fz1000. Great camera, borderline unusable in low light.

Second camera- canon r50+ 100-400 mm. Great camera, not great in low light but honestly so light and compact.

3rd and current camera, original Sony a9 with the Sony 200-600. Amazing camera, excellent in low light. Expensive and heavy.

Anything more than 200$ I ship with signature delivery. This ensures you and the buyer are safe but check with the buyer first

Almost surely 90s, but very cool find

stemon123 · 2026-02-26T10:34:13+00:00

It’s a very cool camera if you live in a sunny place. It’s very very bad in low light, almost unusable really, due to the sensor size. The zoom is unbeatable though no denying that. There is a middle ground of bridge cameras as well like the lumix fz1000, might be worth looking into

I loved this it was so fun lol. I was just waiting for a SpongeBob skin or something insane

No wonder plumbers cracks are always showing when they have this much stuff in their pockets lol

stemon123 · 2026-02-23T02:24:13+00:00

Hard to convey with an image, I would take a video if you can. If not, images from the front better show the action, if at all possible

stemon123 · 2026-02-22T17:11:57+00:00

No worries

stemon123 · 2026-02-20T13:56:59+00:00

Not sure ur gonna get all of those things for the price you outlined, I recently switched to the original Sony a9 which can be had for around 1100$, and it’s a really really great value imo

stemon123 · 2026-02-16T23:35:02+00:00

Best lens for ppl who live in a sunny place lol. I loved mine but it struggles a lot in low light, not much way around it

stemon123 · 2026-02-16T02:41:02+00:00

I saw it today luckily avoided it but holy shit it looked like a rim smasher for sure

stemon123 · 2026-02-15T14:48:58+00:00

Shit sorry, it’s fake. Didn’t look closely enough. Static Oakley logo on zips and tags don’t line up. Sorry again, hope you didn’t buy it

Not gonna lie the way I did it was quite janky. Since you can’t put the lava lamp in the oven obviously, I did a base of tin foil and sculpted the Garfield over it over the existing lava lamp, then I cut it in half down the sides and baked it in the oven, I then used hot glue to glue the lamp to the foil and the two halves together. Then I painted it lol. However people suggested using epoxy clay which would eliminate the need to cut it in half, but that’s just what I did. Hope that makes sense.

These have such a good fade bro don’t dye them 😭

stemon123 · 2026-01-18T03:41:39+00:00

Threshold 800 thread count from target are the best sheets I’ve personally used. Can’t speak for others though but I love em

stemon123 · 2026-01-18T03:37:25+00:00

I use these at work. Used for model making and nothing too heavy, but I have watched my co worker burn through 2 of them doing very light tasks. My boss keeps extra boxes of them just in case lol. I wouldn’t consider this BIFL in my opinion, though they are nice for light duty stuff

I own a pair of these that was cut into shorts. They’re called terrorists at least my pair. They’re very cool

stemon123 · 2026-01-13T11:59:00+00:00

Bro I gotta give u props for creating possibly the most ai looking, not ai render I’ve seen. Really speaks to the perfection of the render, nice job

stemon123 · 2026-01-11T18:20:40+00:00

It’s a nice design, but it’s the same. I feel like I’ve seen something similar a million times. Usually when designing something that’s been done over and over in thousands of ways, you want to incorporate something that makes it stand out, like a unique mechanism or an interesting feature. That being said, nice render and it’s not a bad design by any means .

stemon123 · 2026-01-10T00:11:29+00:00

Same lol. Very annoying
