Taken 08/14 in Central Florida. This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don't know about their call, I'd liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot with a 70-200mm but they have also given me some 35mm portraits in the past!
Being so early in my photography journey, that really makes me smile! Thanks for the confidence!
Taken 08/12 at Disney's Animal Kingdom (sorry - not traveling to Asia anytime soon). Quite fitting as someone mentioned to me these birds look like the henchmen for a Disney villain! They build interesting hanging nests and I find their sheen and eye color to be eye-catching.

Was out walking the dog just before sunrise and noticed some fat dew drops, so I decided to finally set up for this kind of shot. Macro can be a pain, even with still subjects, but quite rewarding!
Even a morning dew drop can be worthy of our interest!
Probably setting times for the gate to lock

Testing out my new macro lens on an extremely hot day. This guy didn't seem to mind the baking ground and, in fact, seemed quote noble on his perch! I'd like to think this would be his official portrait.

My wife recently got this cool houseplant that has these almost silver leaves. At macro the texture looked even cooler!

Got the bug (heh) for macro photography this weekend and picked up a good lens for it that also doubles as a nice portrait lens. Overall, I found it to be hard but pretty rewarding and cool! I think I'll be looking at the tiny world often.

I think it's a young Sand Hill Crane - it was hanging around with these more mature ones and I bet they are a little family : )

Just moved and getting to see all of these new birds on the land behind me. Takes some patience to get this close but they can be interesting!

Thanks! A lot of 30 sec exposures and patience, hah.
Possibly because they border the half tones skipped in scale construction. Looks interesting!
I did indeed have this song in mind - this version is even better ; )
That was 100% what I was thinking of when taking it! One of the first tunes I learned on guitar.
Such a pretty place!
Thanks! Was hanging precariously off the side of a dock to get it how I wanted, hah.
I've been using a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 for probably 13 years now. I'd rave about them all day if I could, but they have such a great soundstage and also have let me dabble into a lot of different random creator hobbies because they are a great reference for mixing. Comfortable to wear for hours and no phyiscal / listening fatigue.
There is a decent aftermarket available for replacement ear pads, cables, etc. as well and I was able to refresh various bits from constant daily wear over the years at a low cost. I've seen the newer variants and just can't seem to justify moving away from these yet. If you can get a used pair in good condition then I think the price point is incredible.
Unpopular opinion - I think there's almost no audible difference between DACs once they are shielded properly. I used to route through a Schiit Bifrost Multibit into a Valhalla 2 with some rolled tubes but now I basically do everything through one Scarlett Focusrite 18i20. There is a difference in the initial volume the amp would push out and the distortion from the tubes, but there's no way I could describe any difference between the two DACs at the same volume and it is way more convenient to have it all in one place. Yes, I have the Thriller SACD ; ).
Ah, wasn’t aware Lemmy was saving the whole file uncompressed. I’m linking directly to Flick so I figured they were hosting it all. Not familiar with the architecture on this platform. You would be surprised as this camera body is actually not the high resolution one in this lineup! Thanks for the info.
