The first shot with the wave reaching up to the bird is very dynamic. Great!
Great sequence. Well done!
Nice pose showing the feathers along the back. My mockingbird in Atlanta rules the roost when present.
Great photo and I agree it is a Willet.
Very bright rainbow in NH. iPhone (the camera I had with me!) capture.
Since you mentioned the lighting on the great photo of the Tower, I put it through the zoo "Radiant" to see what would happen and here is the result.
White storks come into roost in Sigüenza, Spain.
Taken with camera at hand: iPhone 13
Good point! Time to move up to a Z lens.
I couple my Z5 with my DX 18-300 f 1:3.5-6.3G lens and the FTZ adapter. Works great. There is a Z lens 24x200 which probably would work equally well.
Great set with very good depth of field. ?What lens?
Great photos! Small birds appear to be juvenile starlings ... birds of a feather.
Mushroom ID app suggests these are ringless honey mushroom, gilled with white spore print. These do not disappear quickly so most likely someone harvested them for dinner.
Yes, a very bad idea. The chance of confusion with a weapon of destruction is real.
