Ah, wasn’t aware Lemmy was saving the whole file uncompressed. I’m linking directly to Flick so I figured they were hosting it all. Not familiar with the architecture on this platform. You would be surprised as this camera body is actually not the high resolution one in this lineup! Thanks for the info.

This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don't know about their call, I'd liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot with a 70-200mm but they have also given me some 35mm portraits in the past!

Being so early in my photography journey, that really makes me smile! Thanks for the confidence!
Taken 08/12 at Disney's Animal Kingdom (sorry - not traveling to Asia anytime soon). Quite fitting as someone mentioned to me these birds look like the henchmen for a Disney villain! They build interesting hanging nests and I find their sheen and eye color to be eye-catching.

Was out walking the dog just before sunrise and noticed some fat dew drops, so I decided to finally set up for this kind of shot. Macro can be a pain, even with still subjects, but quite rewarding!
Even a morning dew drop can be worthy of our interest!

Probably setting times for the gate to lock

My wife recently got this cool houseplant that has these almost silver leaves. At macro the texture looked even cooler!

I think it's a young Sand Hill Crane - it was hanging around with these more mature ones and I bet they are a little family : )

Thanks! A lot of 30 sec exposures and patience, hah.

Possibly because they border the half tones skipped in scale construction. Looks interesting!
There's something nice about walking around the woods on an overcast day after the rains. A bit calmer and I find myself paying more attention to little details like these guys.
Visiting a new park today and saw these two snakes wrapped around each other in the back of a dimly-lit case. Never know what you'll see in those little educational centers...
Walking the trails and this guy settled down right by me. Liked the colors but I ended up liking the details even more!

I did indeed have this song in mind - this version is even better ; )

That was 100% what I was thinking of when taking it! One of the first tunes I learned on guitar.
Interesting sunset tonight on the lake - reminded me of a black hole with an accretion disk and all the clouds swirling around it.

I really, really love it. I spent a few months on a gifted Canon Rebel T6 before I committed to the hobby and they are absolutely worlds apart. Besides the image quality and the ability to shoot great video (already done a few family trip videos), the eye auto focus is almost flawless. In the limited time to set up for certain shots that are happening it's a dream to not have to worry much about that. Lets me focus on just the right aperture and other settings.

Thanks! Sony a7iv was used to shoot. The lens I'm rolling with for everything is the Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM. Once I knew this hobby wasn't a phase, I chose to go with one quality fast prime to hone my composition and settings with. Barring the occasional shot I can't get due to a lack of zoom, I really love what this combo has been doing for me!
For processing with HDR, I now find myself going to Luminar for the initial merge and then splitting contrast for shadows / mids / highlights there. Then I take everything else to Lightroom.

Certainly striking, and you still get a good sense of the size from that one row

This is a nice idea! Is this for any sort of specific type of editing techniques or just anything goes?

Not much experience but:
What I liked - visual quality and lighting with that gradient into darkness. Tattoo on the finger is interesting and I felt naturally drawn to it.
I was having a tough time getting a certain emotion or vibe at a glance from the expression. Felt cropped in a bit tight for me personally.

I've been using a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 for probably 13 years now. I'd rave about them all day if I could, but they have such a great soundstage and also have let me dabble into a lot of different random creator hobbies because they are a great reference for mixing. Comfortable to wear for hours and no phyiscal / listening fatigue.
There is a decent aftermarket available for replacement ear pads, cables, etc. as well and I was able to refresh various bits from constant daily wear over the years at a low cost. I've seen the newer variants and just can't seem to justify moving away from these yet. If you can get a used pair in good condition then I think the price point is incredible.
Unpopular opinion - I think there's almost no audible difference between DACs once they are shielded properly. I used to route through a Schiit Bifrost Multibit into a Valhalla 2 with some rolled tubes but now I basically do everything through one Scarlett Focusrite 18i20. There is a difference in the initial volume the amp would push out and the distortion from the tubes, but there's no way I could describe any difference between the two DACs at the same volume and it is way more convenient to have it all in one place. Yes, I have the Thriller SACD ; ).
