Here's a snap of a very pretty spot a few miles from my house...

Nice macro shots Mad_Guy, what do you use for a camera?

Mad*Max

thanks - I have a pretty simple set up, I have a Canon T2i with a 55-250 Canon Zoom lense, I don't use a tripod or any filters etc.

That little EOS Rebel is a nice DSLR. I thought about getting it but I wanted a super lens built in that I could run out to 800mm.

The new replacement for my camera now extends to a little over 1000mm, really awesome, and still around $400 on sale.

These next shots are a good example. I spotted a hawk in a tree with my binoculars.

Too far away to see with the naked eye. I marked it with a red arrow.

Then kept pulling in more and more lens with each shot. The final snap is a little out of focus and low on light, but understandable.

The "look at me" thread that just won't die Next up, type of socks I'm wearing and thread count

Mad*Max

that's amazing, at 1000mm you are approaching 30x magnification! what brand is the lense? did you use a tripod?

Almost ran the lawnmower over this little guy....








As destructive as these little bastards are over the winter on our shrubs, I should kill the little sob, but I just can't do it...

Don't know what thread your talking about but the last thing I would think about this thread is it's a "look at me" thread.

Our property in Maryland is full of deer every day and they have no fear of people at all. I don't even think of them as wildlife any more.

Here's a picture I took in my yard with my cell phone (sorry for the poor quality) while walking my dog yesterday. ( And my dog is a 130lb tan Great Dane, so she looks kind of like a deer as well. )

See post #6. The lens is built into the camera. It's kind of a crossover, or hybrid.

Has a lot of DSLR features, combined with the simplicity of a "point 'n shoot". Fairly inexpensive.

I feel the same way, looking at that photo, it would be difficult for any rational person to harm it.

He trolls most of my threads, and makes snarky remarks, hoping to start an argument.

Most folks including me, just ignore him, I suggest you do the same.

[QUOTE=csf;1587517685]Very good for a cell phone snap!

Loved the STOP sign shot.

I enhanced the grasshopper photo for you. A little contrast really helps it "Pop".

Gotta love Fl. A few of our "pets" in the back yard:

Hameister

Thanks!

All very nice shots, especially the Spotted Falcon.

At least I think it's a Spotted Falcon, it may just be a juvenile, I can't be sure??? Do you know?

intheboost

Thanks, yours too! I believe it is a red-shouldered hawk.

Hameister

Ya know, I believe you're right.

These are 2 shots I took of a Red Shouldered Hawk last year, and they appear to be the same bird.
