also check the battery contacts. the metal used is very thin and easily corrodes.

Thanks for showing these, Trevor.  It has been a real treat to watch you grow over the years.  I have just starting trying to take pictures of (any kind) of birds.  My reflexes are slow and I am ...

Trevor, These are just astounding!  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! For whatever reason every time I was out it was so cold the meat in my legs would get cold.  But it did not stop me.  The first few not very good shots - but completely different from ...

It just takes a couple good pictures to lure you in,  and make one try to do better. I have the 12-100f4 and it became my favorite of all of my lenses.  I kept on observing that the 300f4 got the ...

Thank you.  It is amazing how many hundreds it takes to get a half dozen that are ok. brent

Thank you for taking the time to answer.  I can see that there is a whole world of learning outside of photography to enter into this world of birding.  I appreciate the honor you give to each of ...

Really a pleasure to view. I have some questions, as I am just learning; (1) how do you get so close?  I have been shooting birds in the feeder.  I put branches near the feeder to keep it looking more ...

So I got a new lens (300 F4) and have never tried BIF before.  So I apologize in  advance for my lack of experience, however I did want to share a bit what a fun and challenging experience it is.  ...

which lens are you using? has hires ever worked for you?

There is something about photography in general that expands my ability to see.  Funny that it takes looking through that little hole of a viewfinder to see it.

Just so nice to look at.  Gives us that are just trying our hand at it something to aspire to. Thanks so much for sharing, brent

>> I can’t match your levels of detail in spite of being quite experienced in bird photography. I have just started trying my hand at bird photography.  I have always used e-shutter for landscapes ...

I do not have a lot of $$ but spread over time: I would buy a kit lens set to start with an inexpensive body Then save for the Oly 12-100, 60mm and 300F4 and buy them all used with a weather sealed ...

If you keep a spare in the pocket you can alternate. A charged battery will last at least an hour with the camera out in -10F (e-shutter).  I just did this January 1st: https://www.dpreview.com/for ...

I live in a pretty flat area (Minnesota).  It helps sometimes to get a wider field of view without necessarily adding height. You can use a tripod, I am not sure if you can use hi-res mode, and I ...

and any gear can do it. Panoramas are actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

I really think that switching over to all electric is not going to be all that cheap.  Electric heat has to be the most expensive thing going

I was over taking pictures of a frozen waterfall and saw the steam rising off the river.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the skiiers in there.  Some people rise to challenges I would not even ...

John - I was all bundled on the shore taking pictures.  This is a yearly tradition for this group (several skiiers were taking turns).  It is one of those winter challenge type of things. Thanks ...
