Im looking for something that’s a bit more upscale than Flickr—any thoughts?
Some people did not read your post right. Sometimes some of them can be snarky, but not this time. They miss read your post.
I see no mention of displaying prints online on the above post.

This set follows the description of my camera club's visit to a modern junk yard in my last post. After reviewing the shots, I realized that the photos are completely different than my past efforts. I had assembled a series of still life shots that told or provoked a story.
With your indulgence, over the next few posts I will share some of these photos and my impressions.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I always use my Sigma 150-600mm lens for birding but mostly use it to get better shots close up rather than trying to shoot birds a long way off.
This little guy was at least 70 meters away so I had a go, hand held at 900mm (D500, 35mm equivalent) cropped as well.
While it's not the best shot, I like it with the dark, natural, background.

Nicely done Ron. It's sharp as a tack.

For the past 6 months or so there has been a pair of Great Horned Owls living in a large Eucalyptus Tree in my neighbor's backyard. I have spent hours looking for them to no avail. This afternoon in a drizzling rain this guy/gal sat on an exposed branch for 20 minutes. I got maybe 20 shots all identical since it didn't move.
Great shot Jack.

The beautiful Blue Banded Bee. An Australian Native and also a solitary species, they live alone in holes in walls, fences and the ground. They are helpful little guys (about 2/3rds the size of a European Honey Bee) and are responsible for pollinating a large amount of Australia's crops and fruit.
I think this one is a Male, males have 5 stripes and females 4.

Great shot Ron. New info for me. Thanks for sharing.

Wow you are really full of it. No you’re not right. And your statement about fast lenses today being used more for low light and fast shutter speeds is the exact opposite of the truth. Today the main use of fast lenses is for shallow depth of field because the newer sensors handle low light so well.
I also never called you any names and I don’t need to ridicule you because you already ridicule yourself.

So yes, you can change the parameters to look like you can always get a very narrow DOF without a fast lens, but again, you’re just reinforcing how disingenuous you are. In most REAL WORLD CASES you need a fast lens for a very narrow DOF.
Glad you finally agree, that parameters can be changed to get a shallow DOF.
AS far as name calling look in a mirror to see who is disingenuous.
Someone who is disingenuous is slightly dishonest and insincere in what they say.
I am neither.... And you know I'm right,
Oh yes, fast lenses, today, are used more for low light situations, and for a faster shutter speed.
Why do you and your friend always have to be so rude and ridicule people all the time, and call them names. When you point your finger at some, remember, you have three more pointing at you.
Have a nice day....

As you already saw it was a typo. So now you’re definitely being disingenuous. You know I meant 10’.
I looked back and yes, use asked if you forgot someone with a dancing zero....
Here's 10 feet. Same apperature, just used a longer lens. Could I have went with wider apperature, absolutely. But not necessary. Depends on what you are photographing and the l look you want. Changing any one of the components I mentioned, changes the DOF.

And just how often is your subject only two feet away? When that subject is a more reasonable 1’ away the DOF is almost 4’. Don’t try to defend your ridiculous position with edge cases.

I just gave 2 feet as an example. You say more reasonable is 1 foot away, with DOF of 4 feet. You just moved closer, which decreases DOF with same lens and apperature.
I agreed with you the a fast lens gives a shallow DOF, but DOF is also controlled by distance to subject, lens and apperature , which is true.

No both are FX (FF). The difference is that the Df is only 16MP and the D850 is 45MP. Any Nikon F mount lens it doesn't matter. Just use the same lens.
Take a picture with each camera. Same distance from camera to subject. Same lens. display both in PS and zoom to 100%. The subject in the D850 image is 1.7 times the one from the Df.
