    Is it Cool to Ask for Bird Photos from Other Birders?

    Such a helpful tip about asking privately—thank you! It does make me wonder though: if watermarks solve the credit issue, why don’t more birders/photographers proactively share their shots? Is it just about time/effort (editing, sending files, etc.), or are there other concerns?

    Is it Cool to Ask for Bird Photos from Other Birders?

    That’s a fantastic idea—thanks for sharing! I never thought about just snapping a quick phone pic of their camera screen.

    Is it Cool to Ask for Bird Photos from Other Birders?

    Hey everyone! So, here’s something I’ve been curious about. You know how it goes—someone spots a rare bird, and suddenly a bunch of us show up at the same spot, binoculars in hand. Some of you come armed with those awesome long-lens cameras and snap these incredible shots. Meanwhile, the rest...

    Just an Idea for the Ultimate Multitasker

    From the pictures of the products you mentioned, it looks like they include a binocular component. Is the purpose of the binoculars to let you see the real scene optically? And is the digital screen just for capturing photos and videos?

    Just an Idea for the Ultimate Multitasker

    That’s exactly what I want too! what’s your current setup like? Are you using separate gear for binoculars, scope, tripod, and camera, or have you already found a way to streamline things?

    Just an Idea for the Ultimate Multitasker

    Forgot to mention, this kind of equipment has its downsides too—it's not just the lack of autofocus. It also seems like you’d need several people to operate it. Looks like it’d take at least 3 hands and 4 eyes! 😂

    Just an Idea for the Ultimate Multitasker

    ever thought about a multifunctional birdwatching equipment? I seriously want to combine a few features: spotting birds and taking photos when I see them. After some thought, I realized it needs to have image stabilization and good zoom for the camera part, and also with a pair of binoculars for...

    Birding at a subtropical tidal estuary, last Sunday

    Thank you so much for sharing! I think I’ll follow a similar method at this stage. I prefer taking my time to observe first rather than rushing to capture photos. It feels more rewarding to focus on the experience before worrying about photography.

    Birding at a subtropical tidal estuary, last Sunday

    That sounds like a very practical approach! I’m curious—do you usually start by observing with bins and then switch to your camera, or do you use your camera as a substitute for binoculars as well? It seems like the versatility of your bridge camera might allow for both.

    Birding at a subtropical tidal estuary, last Sunday

    Last Sunday, I had my first birding experience with a local guide. We visited a nearby tidal estuary, hoping to spot some bird species that inhabit coastal areas. All the photos here are credited to my birding guide, and I’ve already received her permission to post them here. As a birding...

    Hello

    Hello from Southeast Asia! I'm a beginner in birding, not really into photography—just genuinely interested in everything nature-related. (I only have a pair of binoculars so far.) Nature-related activities aren't very popular here. Most participants are kids, and they’re usually brought into...
