40-150 f2.8, though a similar shot could have been taken with the much cheaper/lighter 40-150 f4-5.6, since I chose to stop down to f/5.6.

Any lens recommendations for Fuji X? The longest I have currently is 56mm f1.2 and it's very hard to get close enough without spooking the fellas.

female Downy Woodpecker from my bedroom window
Does anyone have tips for focusing for photographing birds? I have a Canon R6 with the animal detect AF, and use back button focus, but I took about 170 photos of this bird and almost none were solid hits on the focus.

Anon… you filled the frame with more bird using an 85mm equivalent than most gearfags do using a 800mm equivalent on their brand new gh6. You have skills. unless you’re snapping eagles flying over swamps buy the fuji 55-200 and call your kit finished.

What does that tell you about the reach meme and the state of the average /p/ snapshitter?

>>4255170
Lol thanks, that's what I've been looking into. I'd consider the 100-400 but it's slow. I'll check which I can get used for better value and just use what I can get. gearfags btfo.

All shit. Shots like these would have never been posted on this board several years ago but the quality has taken a massive nose dive thanks to the flood of casuals.

The rest are good. This thread is a perfect example of taking photos vs engaging in photography.

Try to avoid busy backgrounds. Hard to do with birds I know.
Also avoid extreme ground - branch angles. You can bend that rule but don't break it. Sometimes that angle can be used in the right situation. See photo for example.

I feel like you should be able to figure it out on your own if you keep shooting. My advice is to ignore advice and just do you. If you can't see any improvement over time then you're probably in the wrong hobby.

Fair to a degree, but also don't just call everything shit without even posting a photo (if you're that anon).

>>4255356
The backgrounds are usually quite out of focus for me. With the starling it just kinda was a quick set of shots, so I'm getting some idea at least. Would maybe also help if I got a better telephoto because I just have the kit 70-300mm, I just feel like the subject should also be sharper. I used a more expensive 50mm prime and the difference between that and the 18-55mm kit lens was unreal.

I know he asked, and I gave an honest answer: Shoot and learn on your own before looking to others. That's truly what I believe to be the right course of action, especially very early on. You're going to learn much more effectively by experimenting and making all the mistakes and figuring out how to avoid them. It's the most valuable kind of experience there is. It's also my belief that people who need to ask about everything (especially right out of the gate) are very weak on individualism and that's just gross. A little initiative goes a long way.

Breaking news: being physically closer works better than reaching. You missed focus on the second pic as well so you should probably brush up on your telephoto skills

You're telling me an adult took these? Oof. Open your WB menu and look at the settings. I already know what it's stuck on, maybe you can learn something though. You're welcome.

>>4255749
I'm the anon who asked originally. I am shooting, but just saying "shoot more" but also asking me to learn how to use a camera doesn't really tell me anything about what I'm doing wrong. Anyway, I already shoot about as much as I can these days, but I've been too busy lately as I said.

>>4255794
My bad for having faith in your basic human abilities I guess.

Anyone wanna help this NPC? He is completely incapable of self-teaching and needs his hand held. Give him the information he needs to try and be more like you.

>Ok, is there any advice you can give, since you claim to know what you're talking about?

Surely you understand how these responses (without any photos attached as examples of what you believe are good photography) are nebulous at best, and I'm pretty sure you're just acting this way on purpose.

>>4255807
Moving from skill level 1 shouldn't require any help. You're just being completely lazy and not even paying attention to your camera for starters. RTFM.

It's annoying to see people who just press the shutter release with no thought or effort immediately resort to asking for help. Figure it the fuck out. Take test shots and look at them. Remember things you do.

Probably why you can't make any progress with photography. Focus, anon. Literally and figuratively.

>>4255859
That's the least of the issues that you conveniently ignored. Stop shooting down at the ground and fix your white balance.

Oh look, it's nophoto

Ignoring all photography advice until you hit a wall with your photography is the best advice you could possibly get since it will help you to develop your own style and techniques.

If you're posting facebook-tier snapshits then you are nowhere near exploring and experimenting yet. Figure it the fuck out on your own and you will be much happier. Why would you want to cheapen the experience by relying on others? You only get to be new once, don't fuck it up by handing it away. Or just follow orders and kill your love for the hobby, whatever. That's why there's so much used gear for sale from people who all make the same excuses.

If you think these words are rude or hateful or discouraging then you are a fucking idiot. Grow a fucking spine, gain some self-respect, and figure it the fuck out.

First step toward moving the goalpost. You're going to quit photography you know.

>>4255881
At least I started photography. You don't even have a camera.

>>4255882
Good for you, now all you need to do is wait for instructions. How exciting.

>>4255884

You think advice and instructions means the same thing.

tldr

>>4255809
>Moving from skill level 1 shouldn't require any help.
Disagree. Skill level 1 is where the smallest bit of advice will yield the biggest benefit. Once you've been shooting for a while its more about looking at your shots and seeing what you can improve.

>>4255861
>That's the least of the issues that you conveniently ignored. Stop shooting down at the ground and fix your white balance.

There's no need to be upset. On the beach shot I am low down, the bird is on a slope, you can tell from its pose. I might shoot it differently if I did it today but, as you can imagine, you don't get too much time with a bird that close.

>>4255888

>>4255761
>incorrect white balance
Protip: WB only matters if you're taking a picture for scientific reasons
Doing it "wrong" the right way improves the photo.

>>4255935
They're my shots and I'm not even gonna argue on the color. One was shot maybe 7 years ago and edited on free software and a shit screen, the other one was edited quickly on my phone.
I've just started bird photography, two outings so far, but I'm not new to photography,.and a agree. I'm not necessarily editing for accurate colors.

look at this garbage, the owl doesn't even fill the frame.
this guy should get some actual skill before posting his work

>can't even post his own work
>comparing a nicely framed photo with a nice background to a snapshit
>owl photographer also wasn't talking shit trying to prove some retarded point with a snapshit
You're a faggot. You're mentally ill and you're shit. You're the reason why bird threads are absolute fucking trash heaps to be avoided. That photographer would agree with this assessment as well.

>>4255967
>ctrl f
>fill frame
>only one example itt
>>4255170

Who are you speaking to if you are not samefagging? Where are you getting this "fill the frame" mindset from and why are you considering >>4255093 to be worthy enough to compare to >>4255967 in any way?

Did you actually post a snapshit and samefag some psychotic argument to prop it up trying to compare yourself to an actual photographer? That seems pretty far fe- oh wait this is /p/. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Toxic board ruining filth.

you'd think guys that like sitting in nature taking pictures of cute birds wouldn't be so high strung and angry

I Hope to some day be among the elite photographers of the world permitted to post their work to the slash pee slash bird thread

Look at this essay of seethe because someone said “better than lens consoomers”. Did it sting? Having it pointed out? That they were so good at getting close they didn’t need more than 300 if not 200mm equivalent?

>>4255984
>making up yet another fantastical scenario to avoid the fact that he refuses to improve beyond snapshitting

>>4255985
>how dare you not praise my snapshit simply because it was taken with a short lens
You gearfags have fucked up priorities. Stop obsessing over focal lengths and take a nice photo instead.

>>4255980
We are mourning a loss. I guess you don't remember /p/ before it became filled with GWC. Even that would be fine if they cared at all about puttin in effort but they don't. They just want to circle-jerk snapshits like the RPT.

>>4255992
>deal with it
By copeposting? Done. Now let me find more photos by professionals and try to say they are the same as my snapshits because the subject isn' filling the frame. I am literally insane if you haven't realized. I will never get better because I am delusional and lazy, and I will quit photography soon and continue my spiral into depression. Expect to see my gear up for sale soon because I am "upgrading".

snapshitters btfo

>>4255989
>thinks he’s talking to that guy
Nope. Unrelated individual with disdain for lens consoomers. Your intro to wildlife photography should be with a 135mm max. Then you can buy a 200-600 and watch your photos get worse.

in the end of the day, what makes a good pic is knowing how to play with the light

you live in the city don't you?

>more cope from the snapshitter
>still making it about gear
Right on schedule.

>>4255991
Even worse, I remember /p/ when angry no-photos were rare.
I posted my best photos when I got my first interchangeable lens camera in 2013 and I was ripped to shreds, but with legit direct criticism of actual things that should be better, from people who would post their own photos as examples.
It's a shame. But there are other places.

>Your intro to wildlife photography should be with a 135mm max.
Lol

>>4256122
I push them right over the edge and watch them plummet, kek. Strap in. You're getting wildlife advice from a delusional snapshitter with no work to show, this is prime /p/.

>coming to the internet's asshole to learn

I don't think that's why I was coming here back then, but I did learn a lot in the early days.

Magnificent. It's everyone's fault tho for giving this cunt attention he seeks so desperately.

That was really my gripe, I don't care if someone calls my stuff shit, I wish the guy(s) posting about how everything is shit would actually say why though.
