Thank you so much! Some I had more time than others, but most were taken without the use of autofocus!

Really requires a good sense of patience and really slows me down 🥰

Getting portraits right will be a forever goal. But I realize when folks see a new bird. Close portraits give very poor context to size sometimes

And I really want to show non bird folks just how tiny these fuckers really are! 😂

Thanks Rob! The hawks make it easy

I really appreciate it! Thankfully i was just tracking the cranes as they floated over the horizon. Luckily I noticed the mountain layers through the viewfinder and was able to correct enough exposure to keep the layers🥰

It was a magical moment. Something clicked in my head that this would be nice

Thank you! The Leica renders some very interesting depth that is hard to replicate in other cameras. Very fun mood 🥰

Today was an OVER THE TOP bird day. Thousands of gulls, sheerwaters, cormorants, and pelicans feasting on the scraps of the dolphins and whales. Unmute for chaos vibes. 2 clips. Stick around for the 2nd one! 🪶
