House bound, I figured I'd go back to by first 6D shots since I took so many and hardly looked at many; that was in 2013. Taken just outside my yard, maybe 5 minutes walking. The moose tend to be somewhat transient rather than hanging around. He walked close to me directly across a very small creek to drink and I had too much lens.

These are excellent - only one quibble:
There is no such thing as "too much lens..."
Nice picture Alan but your lawn needs cutting, and as we have been in lock down and you’re clearly a married man I’m intrigued to know how you’ve got away with it ! Any tips would be gratefully received.This is England and we are not meant to have much wildlife. But, this Muntjac appears in my garden and tolerates being photographed, with the 100-400mm II throttled back to 300mm on the 5DSR. It is so sharp I have to turn off the lens sharpening in DxO as it oversharpens.

Cheeky! I mowed it this morning and this is post-cut. I am actually wilding the lawn and allowing the wild flowers to grow. I cut every few weeks at the highest setting and let them spring up. It makes a huge difference to the number of insects. The wife approves - that’s the tip.Nice picture Alan but your lawn needs cutting, and as we have been in lock down and you’re clearly a married man I’m intrigued to know how you’ve got away with it !

That little guy is adorable. Wish I had subjects like that strolling into my yard.This is England and we are not meant to have much wildlife.

Your wish might change after they destroyed all the peas and corn, ate the raspberries and trampled the flower bed of worse, ate it.That little guy is adorable. Wish I had subjects like that strolling into my yard.
Very nice shots. I see there is something tasty at the bottom of the pond.A moose visiting Sheep Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park near a hazy sundown last night. It spend most of the time submerged. Moose are somewhat new here, but it seems they are regular visitors for now so I need to go back in the daylight soon.
R6, RF800, tripod, DxO PL4. Pushing the limits on light here, trading of ISO for shutter speed or vice versa.

A muntjac at the end of my urban garden. It was taken with the 800mm f/11 at 1120mm with the 1.4x, and this is the full frame scaled down. We are lucky that most unusually we have a chalk stream flowing across the back with a small meadow the other side and lots of scrub even though we are in the city. Just wish I had some US and Canadian birds as well! It was the evening light, and just a beam illuminating the face of the muntjac and not the scrub behind.Since I haven't posted here for a while... These guys come into my yard to destroy my trees. View attachment 198418View attachment 198419View attachment 198420View attachment 198421
