What do you mean? I shoot with an APS-C (R7). APS-C is great for wildlife

okay, let me rephrase. is my pawn shop bargain camera that's old enough to legally operate an automobile on public roads good enough for wildlife telephoto?

A crop sensor is nice because you don't have to carry as long a lens if you decide to go out to look for the birds.

Its also nice to use cheaper cameras if you hike out for the birds so its less devastating if you do something stupid.

Last summer there was a couple of young owls in a tree next to my house, from the attic window, with a digital compact camera while holding a monocular in front of the lens I managed to get a surprisingly fun shot, it was a little improvisational but turned out better than I expected.

I like good bird photos, I also like seeing bird photos from my friends (like you).
I like photographing birds just a little more because it's exciting.

I enjoy learning about the birds I photograph, but mostly I enjoy the act of bird photography. I'm just as happy to get a picture of a common bird as something rare if it lets me get some good pictures.

the depth of field slaps on this one. how'd you manage this? is it all the lens or was there post-processing done?

Sufficiently far away and sufficiently closed down will get you wider DoF even on 800mm. I would guess it is 300mm or 400mm though.

Partly the lens (600mm) and partly post processing (some vignetting), but mainly it was a very blank and uniform sky behind it

Oh I thought he meant the background uniformity. DoF is actually shallow in that image but I'm far away and all the elements are on the same plain, so it worked out well

Yes, by "wide enough DoF" I meant ~10cm maybe 20cm and not paper thin. Super telephoto compression is crazy. I usually use f/11 on mine if the light allows just to have enough leverage for the bird to stay in focus, wide open is f/5.6.

I found some old negatives from maybe 18 years ago, shot on my grandpa's yashicaflex when I got after he passed away. I even developed the film on my own.
I had no idea what I was doing with the shooting nor with the developing but somehow I did it, and one of the pictures had a pigeon and two sparrows in it.

A little embarrassing... Looking at the picture but oh well, thought it would be fun to share, heck even the scanning job I did was a little shitty, let's consider this a learning moment.

I finally got a telephoto lens but I think I'll need a monopod since the thing is bloody heavy and hard to hold steady.

found a juvenile kookaburra though when looking around for something to test it on.

Aww what a lovely bird, does that mean you're in Australia?
I never really shot with a telelens, I reckon it hampers your movement quite a bit, no? But the ability to get close without having to be close is such a luxury.

It only showed up yesterday so all I've done with it is walk one minute to the park at the end of the street. Still, by the time I had finished walking around the park I kinda wished I had brought a bag.

but yeah I'm australian and I want to try get some pictures of lorikeets now since I was having trouble getting nice pictures of them before.
