Thanks for the tip.  My yard isn't the biggest, and my dog needs her space!  But I will look into some natural looking perches.  I do want to replace my current setup as it really isn't that sturdy. ...

Well said. And yes, I am a wildlife advocate.  I love all wildlife, and while I have my favorites to photograph and study (wolves and bears), I respect them all.  I've seen far too many times the ...

Aggressive to humans BECAUSE of human food.  Once an animal associates food with humans, it's a problem.  Plus, we're also talking about humans FEEDING wildlife altogether, which is a crime in our ...

Haven't had a chance to get out to any of the local parks due to a rough February weather-wise up here.  Still have a lot of cloudy and rainy/snowy days but I like to park myself by my back door ...

You are still completely missing the point.  The point is that he is an unethical photographer who baits animals to get his photos.  Period.  It's been proven over and over again. You keep talking ...

You are correct, the animal did nothing wrong, however once a wild animal becomes habituated to humans, especially because it was fed, it is now a danger.  It will become very aggressive towards ...

I'm not going to get into an argument over this scum of a photographer. You keep asking for "proof" and I told you how to find it. He even admitted that he baits at sanctuaries and said he'd not ...

Yes, he has had a reputation for baiting for years. As I said, I am in that area quite regularly, and while I'm not a pro photographer, I am good friends with many who base out of Jackson and near ...

I spend lots of time every year in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, and the law clearly states that it is illegal to feed any wildlife on NPS ground.  Period.  This particular ...

As an amateur/enthusiast photographer, I am really blown away right now with Topaz Denoise AI.  Yes, I shoot RAW and use PS for post, but I was truly surprised how much better my photos look.  I ...

That's sad to hear. I had a similar experience with the Sigma 100-400C.  After waiting and researching, I bought one new.  I was extremely disappointed.  I must have had a bad copy, but it was very ...

I know the OP already made his choice and got the Tamron 100-400, but I can also chime in.  I had both the 55-250 STM and 70-300 II at the same time, on my 77D and now my 80D.  Both are very good ...

The normal 18-55 kit lens with the T5 is the Mark II version, which honestly isn't that sharp to begin with.  I had that lens when I bought my T3i many years ago, and replaced it with the Sigma ...

Just out of curiosity, what exact law are they breaking?  I've searched and found nothing.  Also, if the lens manufacturer doesn't declare the parts in a lens as "spare parts,"  by law they don't ...

I recently was pondering the switch to FF myself. I've had crop DSLR's for the past 7 or so years, starting with the T3i, 60D, 77D, and I just got a used "like new" 80D. I was considering getting ...

It was a severely overcast day and late in the afternoon.  Even in those conditions, I should be getting much better results. As it was, I took the lens back to the camera shop today and they ...

Well...... My 100-400L II arrived today, and.....  It's going right back tomorrow to my local shop where I bought it for an exchange.  Something is way out of whack.  It's extremely soft at any ...

Decision made, and purchase made. I am getting the Canon 100-400L II.  It should be delivered tomorrow as I ordered it from my local camera shop.  After considering everything, and reading ...

To me, the biggest issue is the lens combination you are using.  The 18-55 is a decent lens, however the 75-300 is widely regarded as one of the worst lenses in Canon's lineup.  poor sharpness, no ...

I think you're right.
