Pretty good with that camera.

I don't think you need anymore practice lol. Those pics are book or magazine worthy imo.

That is very kind for you to say, thank you The real test will be getting shots like this outside. I think having things staged in a controlled setting takes some of the need for real skill away, but still great for learning!

If you're worried about the placement of your focus with a shallow depth of field with that M lens, consider using a bracketing technique.

Focus at the front of the subject to be photographed, then slowly turn the focus ring while firing shots toward the back of the subject. You'll have a variety of focal points with the same exposure, and if need be, you can combine them for a composite shot.

I do need to try that! But I need to find a different editing app I think. The one I’m using won’t auto layer and I’m finding it very hard to do it manually.

Trumpeter swans and some Canadian geese in the field across from my house. They won’t let me get very close without flying off.

I hope to get better pictures when I can have some cover to sneak up on them. Haha

A couple visitors

This little guy was by the pond. It’s only the second tree frog I’ve seen in the 7yrs we’ve lived here.

That frog is very cute!

Plenty of guineafowl on my morning walk, about 3 flocks in a 20 minute route:

Saved this guy from the pool.
Any idea what kind of snake this is?

It’s brown with a pink belly. If you can’t tell
In the photo.

Could be a slug eater, or I am more thinking slow worm (legless lizard)


This is a slug eater (species will differ across continents obviously)

Cute!
I’m not sure what it is. Here we have ones like that and we call them red bellies.
