  I love the yellow warbler image but all of the images you share are outstanding. I would like to see how you process images. Everyone seems to process images a little differently so for me it is always well worth it to see what someone may do in certain situations with light, color, cropping, etc....

  Great tips once again. The work it takes to find our subjects and capture their image is the hard part. The simple joy of seeing our success after a hard day out is one of the best feelings. Can't stress enough how important it is to have a good bird app for migration of birds, for the two I use hadn't said anything about the ibis being in the area. Sadly I caught them at the end of their migration. Bless you Brother and keep sharing your adventures

  May I suggest the Sibley app. It shows birds' migration patterns, so maybe you won't miss the ibis next time. Also the eBird app has a search feature for birds reported in your area at a particular time.

  Followup question. Do you ever shoot in 35MM or is it all digital. Believe it or not I still shoot in 35MM. What sucks is I have to send out film because no photo studios process film near me. I don't of course share my photos online, its my jive and something very little - few people know about.

  The sitter on the rock makes that composition, had you seen her beforehand, the framing would have been magic I am sure.

  @JohnDrummondPhoto3 ай бұрын

  The 100-400 is $649. The 100-500 is $2699 (current discount at B&H). I use both the R5 and R6. The 100-500 is a little sharper, a 1/2 stop faster, obviously longer, and it's better weather sealed. But it's hard to justify that price.

  @@David_Quinn_Photography Yes. I love the image sharpness of the 100-500. But if the 100-400 were available two years ago, I might have bought it. Except it's slow, and slower still with the extender you need to shoot birds with. It'd be a hard decision.
