Show Your Snaps...May 8, 2017

Thanks, I do have my sigma 120-400 would love to have the 600. But I have decided no more expensive lenses until after body upgrade. As I mentioned earlier I am hoping to get good deal on T7i around November. Living in Ohio we have more cloudy then sunny days and my passion is outdoor shots. The 7i seems to have great low light reviews and is still budget friendly enough my wife wont shoot me if I buy it.
Here is a shot of a Cardinal that was on one of my feeders about 30 yards away from me cloudy and super cropped and am amazed at the detail this little lens gave me with me cropping so hard. Oh and also hand held with 80 second shutter speed.

had to use iso 400 and 800 which kill my 600d
bit of rain
The wild look
That's a nice bright red color. Yes, upgrades would be good. I haven't upgraded in a while; maybe next autumn I'll do it. I don't remember if I told you or someone else, but you can construct some dead branches near your feeder. That way, some may land on the branches first and you'll get that natural look. Sometimes I take pictures of birds in branches near feeders, because the feeders draw them into the area. The feeders belong to someone else; they are in a public area where I look for wildlife.
In the Portland, Oregon area we have one of the cloudiest regions in the USA (Seattle, WA is similar). So I know what you mean about low light conditions. I understand that the upper lakes region in the Midwest is also very cloudy and you are close to that.

Those are remarkably nice...great job!!! A shelter is a great place to take pictures of birds in the rain. I carry with me a big umbrella for those kinds of pictures, but it takes a while before the birds get used to seeing it. It also takes strength and patience to manage that big lens and umbrella together. I've only done it a few times when I'm determined to take pictures in our rainy climate.

When I grow up, I want to shots like these too!
Just blown away!!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
As far as the feeder pic, I usually don't share feeder pictures , this time I was just demonstrating how well the little 55-250mm lens I decided to purchase after following this thread and seeing others great shots with it .In what I considered absolutely horrible conditions and distance. But I do appreciate the tips another reason I love this site great advice from experienced people go a long way in helping a novice such as myself. And again blown away by those shots.

Hi Clive50,
Great shots of the Jay, the first shot of the Jay with the raindrops is remarkable, especially considering Sharp at 1/15 sec.(273mm).

Much to my surprise, the autofocus worked. Not bad for a lens from the film days. I think I'll keep working with it from time to time. It seems reasonably sharp.

Nice shots, its amazing what you can find in your own back yard when hunting with the camera. Especially macro shooting. Love those cactus as we don't have them in the wold here only indoors in plant pots.

Here in the Netherlands and Belgium they build special huts and this one in particular we hired for 65 euro a day with the 2 of us. Set in a forested area the owner as built a pond and he keeps putting nuts and seeds out to keep the birds attracted. This one you shoot through glass too and attach your camera to a rail that slides left to right.
The windows is down just above water level.
hut in the rear and once the door is closed the animals and birds only see the mirror glass as its dark inside
camera mounted on the rail and cookies and coffee at the ready.

these are the best out of 969 shots lol. My 600d struggled with the 400-800 iso when the light was bad.

Thanks Mocha123, yeah that's my favorite shot. Only saw the raindrops once I got home. I need to get a new body that can handle higher ISO so I can get the shutter speed up as we took loads of bathing birds etc but they are to blurry and lots of noise in most of the shots. Don't think shooting through glass helped either.

Went for a late evening walk around the Royal Military College of Canada last night.
This is of a old plastic bag caught in the break wall around RMC. Normaly this bag would just be laying down between the rocks but due too extremely high water levels it is now floating/waving in the water.
Shovels used for sandbagging the perimeter.
Newly renovated Sawyer Building
New ones out and about.
With normal water levels, the deck of that boat would be even with or below the edge of the dock.
