It depends on law being enforced in any given country.

Why do DPReview sample galleries so rarely have photos of black models?

I have, but I don't want to cut off the flower on the left ;-)

The original crop was about 2000x2000 AFAIR. I had to zoom out to ~200mm for the camera to focus.  At maximum zoom it kept focusing on the ground behind the insect :(

Rainham Marshes, UK

Took it to an animal rights march yesterday. I had my camera and two lenses in it. Much more comfortable than the Thule shoulder bag I was using previously.

You don't say? ;-)

Very nice, especially the last one!

"it is almost as if Google higher-ups realize that anything that they do MUST be cloud-centered" Well, that's exactly what happened.

Thanks. It's a bit longer than my long telephoto lens. I checked the backpack myself today in Wex Photographic in Whitechapel (London). It's really well made and everything fit. Bought it right ...

Thanks! How long is the largest lens in the centre (you can just give me the model name and I'll check)?

Any chance of fitting extra items (map, food, binoculars) in the 400 model, if I pack 1 body and 2 lenses + camera spares (batteries, etc)?

Thanks, I will check out the 400.

Well, smearing out all feather detail is not good either ;-)

Indeed. If you post your photos on sites like BirdForum, even relatively poor quality photos will be welcomed if they e.g. show an interesting species or some unusual situation.

What do you think about this camera backpack? https://www.parkcameras.com/p/9363514B/camera-backpacks/lowepro/flipside-bp-500-aw-ii-backpack-pixel-camo My wife is considering it as a wedding ...

If you pixel-peep, yes. If you're just enjoying the birds, they're great ;-)

The goldfinch photos are amazing.

If whale watching while respecting the recommended distance so as not to disturb them, you will almost always need a telephoto.
