The 2023 spring snow goose migration is early this year - normally there would not be activity like this at Middle Creek for another 4 weeks or so. Due to the warmer-than-usual weather this winter, it is presumed that they settled nearer to the Midatlantic coastal region than usual, and we are...

Blue-faced Honeyeater : Entomyzon cyanotis Grasstree : Xanthorrhoea glauca Brisbane Hinterland, Queensland, AU Conservation Status : Least Concern

This is a Pale-headed Rosella. If you're familiar with backcountry Queensland, you'll certainly know this parrot. Clearly—'unclearly'?—this image omits its identifying feature (the pale head); but, just this once, does that matter? Dare to be different, by putting 'the rules' aside now and...

Far Eastern Curlew (female) : Numenius madagascariensis 
Moreton Bay, Queensland Conservation Status : Endangered About 12% of the species (perhaps ~35,000 individuals worldwide) spend the southern summer in Moreton Bay which, at 27ºS, can be thought of as Australia's equivalent of Tampa Bay...

With my older cameras (E-M1ii and D500), photographing swallows at a distance of 15+ feet was doable. Even then, it was a bit hit or miss. Sometimes the E-M1ii would fail to retain focus (or focus at all) and on the D500, focus would snap to the background if I failed to accurately keep up with...

Steve and other members…I’m following this topic very closely and only found found two sources who seem to have addressed it…. BIF is my primary photographic venture and the Camera/lens combination’s ability to perform here is the single most important feature to me. However, before deciding...

Hi All, Whether you are focused on wildlife or BIF, what location in the U.S. provides you with both diverse and abundant targets in natural settings? I totally understand if you focus on one kind of bird such as Osprey or Bald Eagles, but what if a photographer wants to photograph many species...

I have Steve's books, have been studying BIF as my next challenge and took my Nikon D500 with 55-300 4.5-5.6 lens out to a local park for some close up ducks action. I got a nice swimming woodie, but OMG, the noise was awful. I bought the noise course and salvaged the wood duck picture. I also...

Took this yesterday evening it was windy but saw this Long-billed Curlew coming at us as we headed home from checking on some uncooperative Burrowing Owls. I had the D6 with the 600 f/4# in my lap jumped out and stood in the middle of a gravel road and shot this. I am still learning this lens...

Hello, I have been trying to learn the art and science of slow shutter photography, which I find very exciting but equally difficult. I was hoping if some experts here can give me some inputs to help me get a little better at it. With a D500 + 200-500 ... i tried shooting helicopters but with...
