It just occurred to me: Feed them marijuana cookies....Thanks. Desperately wish lens had IS. Or that birds get stoned more often so they stay still....

Well, yes, if you're in Canada. Maybe even some vaping set up for them instead of peanuts or suit.It just occurred to me: Feed them marijuana cookies....
Got this shot of a Shy Albatross the other day just after it had finished feasting on a dead cuttlefish. Not the biggest of the Albatross family but still boasts an impressive wingspan of a touch over 2.5m

Pretty sweet images for someone who is 'not a bird photographer'Hi All, I've been enjoying all your photos for a while now. Really beautiful work.
I'm not really a "bird photographer" (yet anyway), I primarily do architecture, travel and landscapes, but I do enjoy photographing the occasional bird I pass in my neighborhood when I go for a walk. These weren't photographed to be particularly artistic as I was mostly just testing out various camera / lens combinations to see what works best, but I figured I'd post anyway as these birds are a little different. Going forward, I'll work a bit more on the artistic side of it.
This is all in Florida right around my house. Most of the land around me is designated as nature preserve, so we get lots of birds and animals that naturally flock here (no pun intended). Anyway, hope to post a bit more as I get more accustomed to framing bird portraits.
All photos taken with either Canon EOS M6, 5D Mark II or EOS RP. Lens is either EF 400mm F5.6L or EF 70-200 F4 IS.

Cheers mateVery noice shot, Aussie Shooter.
I did crop for this composition. Was only shooting with the 70-200 and if you want to get some detail on the face one must sacrifice some of the wingsNice shot. Did you crop or were 2.5m too wide for the frame? We got lots of albatrosses in the Galapagos, and I should post one or two.
Sorry, you will be hooked. We had a great birdwatching holiday in Florida a year ago. It's a super place for birding.Hi All, I've been enjoying all your photos for a while now. Really beautiful work.

Aussie, here are a couple of albatross shots. The birds kissing was taken by my wife. She thinks they are great, pairing for life.
We had quite hike on the island of Espanola.
