How is that done?

Sometimes it helps to be in the right place at the right time. Had the top Heron in my sights for abut 30 minutes hoping to get a takeoff when the bottom one came in chased him away.

I have taken some pictures with an Apple XR. However, when I send them, via an email message, I cannot save or download them as jpg vrsions. Is there a way to so?

Green Herons are a rare bird for me to photograph. I was fortunate to wait this guy out until he took off, and then quickly landed after a quick flight to a neqar by branch.

Thank you. That was a while back, but appreciate the time to comment.

Great captures. Where?

Not mimicking. The adult has a fish a junior wants it!

Beautiful

At Conowingo dam and got some interesting shots.

Thank you both. I got turned onto ISO-auto a couple of years ago. Also it was suggested that f8 is best compromise for light and depth of field.

Usually when I am shooting BIF's I try to use 3200 or greater speeds, at f8. On cloudy days, using auto-iso I am getting and ISO selected of 5000. Is that too high, or what is the highest ISO I can tolerate. Thank you.

An acquaintance asked my recommendation for BIF camera. Now does stills but wants to branch out. Still shots of birds are not bad. So has some technical knowledge.Budget is $1,000.

Thank you for any thoughts.

Can you explain a little more and how to do it. Thank you.

Like many of us, I suppose, we carry around photos in our iPhones. What I do is save nature pictures in my desktop and the "sync" them in to my iPhone using iTunes. I recently upgraded my phone from a "iPhone 5" to a XR iPhone. When I wanted to add "Wallpaper" for the phone I found that the images seemed to be automatically "zoomed" in and cut-off. For instance a eagle in flight that appeared full image in the past, now has his wings cutoff. I contacted Apple and they said "That just the way it is the the newer phones. Is there anyway I can get f proper image in the new phone without re=processing all the photos? If not how should I reformat them and any new photos in the future? Thank you for any guidance.

In the past I posted a series of a swan taking off. If you can find it you will see that it had to take a running start to take off. Other birds that are large or have heavy bodies (e.g Bufflehead ducks) with short wings have the same characteristic take offs.
