Wildlife Photography Thread

[Derek Smith]

I'm really no wildlife photographer. Much prefer videoing cars but I always carry a camera.

I liked the way the wavelets pointed the way to the duck. I'm partially colour-blind so sorry if the colours are a bit off. It looks alright to me.

It's very blue but given the proviso I'll overlook it

To be that far off you might have shot RAW with preset WB... just a guess.

I'm definitely not a wildlife photographer, but I'm quite pleased with this pair of photos I got while checking out a 1980's Canon FD lens om my Fujifilm X-T1.

Lots of reddish chromatic aberration (?) on the first pic, lower left of the swan’s body especially bad. And try to get closer maybe: the second shot is just two distant silhouettes. And no, they won’t break your arm/leg with one flap of their wings

Splendid Starling out of the window of the office I was visiting a couple of weeks ago (a long way away)

[weeve]

And a Burchels Coucal feeding it’s young a yellow bug out of same said window a bit later on….



Both shot through manky office window glass so no processing and just small out of camera jpegs. Obv as soon as window open the only things to be seen were malarial mosquitoes….

These cheeky characters were playing nearby in the garden yesterday.

Beautiful. I'm old enough to recall seeing them in many of the Royal Parks until the grey plague, being the main cause, killed them off. Fortunately there are still areas in the south where they're still about and controlling the greys in certain areas are now seeing a return,albeit slow, of the native red

We don't have squirrels at all here in NZ, so when I visited Canada they were quite a novelty and I took heaps of photos of them! Much to the amusement of the locals.

A few from my recent visit to Hluhluwe Game Reserve, SA
Haven’t downloaded most pics yet but it was lovely being in the Bush again.

Great set

Are captive animals wildlife?

Yes. Wild animals even though in an enclosed place, although I can see where you're coming from
