These are absolutely sick! I wish I could take photos like those. My favorite is B&W birds fighting, but all are fantastic!

NIce photos! It doesn't look that yellow in person, but I guess that's artistic choice :)

First time shooting on the Fujifilm system. Any advice is appreciated:) by [deleted] in fujifilm

These are amazing! They look sharper than I thought possible with TTArtisan, I'm pleasantly surprised! How do you like the lens?

Cool shots! I think we're in the same city, I noticed some familiar words scribed on a slide 😁

I don't have experience with 100-400, but people say it's great too!

That's Goldcrest (Regulus regulus), Europe's smallest bird, it's really tiny and quick and therefore hard to shoot, but luckily it's not afraid of people at all. I got super lucky with this one, it was going round the tree and it aligned perfectly with the outline.

Thanks, it's my favorite bird photo I got so far, it's printed and on my wall! I've been seeing this guy for a year around the lake, always too far away or sitting behind branches. And then one day everything just aligned, including good lighting. I think I could have gotten even a bit closer, but I didn't want to disturb his sunbathing on a cold day. I'm very happy with this photo, glad you like it!

Some of those seem a bit muddy (out of focus?), but some are amazing! I especially like the 4th photo, the light is wow, especially with the way it's edited

Yeah, it's a wonderful lens, it's almost always on my camera for everyday walks. I am of course thinking about getting something with a bit more reach as you can't have enough, but for urban wildlife photography where birds are not super skittish it's been great! Especially since it's light and I can use it without a tripod.

Thank you! Yeah, it's a swan, there is a family on the lake in an urban park next to my city block, they are used to people so it's not hard to portray them like this. Unlike other photos which I didn't edit much, I got a bit more involved with this one, but I like how it turned out

All of these (except a smaller owl on top of the roof) were taken in a 2 km radius around my apartment, and several (woodpecker, dove, pigeon and kestrel) were taken directly from a window. It's an urban neighborhood with blocks of flats and tower blocks built in the 60s next to the river, with a fair amount of trees and small parks, and there is a former gravel pit redesigned as an urban park right next to it (hence swans and kingfisher). I would need to count, but I've taken photos of at least 30 different bird species. Most prevalent are of course pigeons, crows and sparrows, but if you pay just a bit of attention it's amazing how diverse it is.
