My photography thread

Some cracking shots there Sean, you must have spent quite a few patient hours to get those.

Thanks, yes, hundreds of hours, I don't use commercial hides and much prefer to locate them and set the trap, its so rewarding when it comes together

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. These should earn you a few quid.

Thanks again, not sure how I would earn money from them, I could do with some as I now have an R5 to use along side my R6

They are magazine quality and would likely sell on stock image websites.
The R5 is a beast isn’t it:thumbsup:
If you’re running with the 600mm or 800mm RF lens, even better. You could also look at doing stock footage on video too. The IPB Light encoder it good quality and frugal with memory. Sadly the R5 doesn’t let you get still images while doing video, but as you are lucky to have two bodies you could do both.

I'll take a look at some stock sites, I'm a bit wary of the RF600 and 800 as they are pretty slow, canon are bringing out a few telephoto in the future but not sure when, mainly F4 stuff but I can imagine the price will be astronomical, the bearded tits where taken with my Rf 100-500 and rf 1.4 TC

They are pretty slow from a light gathering perspective, but with the benefit from the stabilisation you get a few stops back from a shutter speed point of view. That said, I've all but stuck with all my EF mount L-Glass. The 100-400mm L IS is massive to carry around. F4 zooms will always be expensive. I may swap some out over time, but I'd thought about going 100-400 or 100-500 and a 1.4x TC too. The only thing that concerns me is the weatherproofing - or lack of it. The EF-RF converter has seals so that maintains the weatherproofing with the old EF L lenses. It's all a trade-off.

I have a plan for Mull mate, I am taking the R6 with the 100-500 and the R5 with the 70-200 F2.8, I am doing a few boat boat trips and the WTSE can come in really close, I certainly wont need to much reach, I will need that for the Hen Harriers and Short eared Owls as well as the otters, I have been contemplating the RF 800 for this,
Forth coming RF lenses
150-600mm f5-6.3
200-400mm f4
200-500mm f4
300-800mm f8
I really fancy the 150-600, but will more then likey be next year when these are released
 
Absolutely stunning pictures Sean, obviously you have a talent for it mate.

Tony.

Make the most of the chances Sean - will soon be nesting season.

I do quite a bit of nest photography too, however I do steer clear of schedule one birds, if the kingfishers nest where I want them to I will apply for a disturbance licence, I have dug a steep bank on the island of the pond I have been photographing them on, I'm hoping they use it

Didn’t realise quite how many schedule one birds there are. It’s an extensive list :oops:
