A couple of immature red-tailed hawks duke it out for some reason. This was at a hawk watch in central Pennsylvania, October 2022.

Prospect Park, Reading, UK Canon R6 + F11 600mm lens, 1/1250s, ISO1250

I liked the play of sun and shadow in this photo, and that, for once, the Kite wasn't paying attention to me and my poor attempts to get closer.

I'd guess a young herring gull, Saundersfoot, South Wales.

I was pleased with the composition and general look, but suggestions for improvements welcome.

Another one of my old photos. Two young groundhogs climbed out of their den fairly close to where I was sitting.

Pied Wagtail (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by KevinFRK to c/wildlifephotography
 
 

Saundersfoot, South Wales.

Canon R6 + 600mm F11 lens, ISO 400, exposure time mistakenly at a slow 1/320s (should have been 1/1000) but doesn’t seem to have harmed.

I also like it as a photo of the rope, chain & canvas in their own right.

Experimental first post here by a Reddit Refugee. (2nd attempt)

Taken by me in June 2023 in the Okavango Delta using a Canon T2i, 70-300mm lens.
