I think it's lovely how accessible high quality photographic equipment has become. Naturalism is much easier when it's not just the "professionals" who have access to high-quality telephoto equipment. These clear, detailed photographs were taken in a rush!

Technology is so good that even entry level cameras have sensors that put professional camera sensors from fifteen years ago to shame. It's easy to feel like we are drowning in lazy photography, but the same technology makes things like this possible.




It’s much easier than in the film days. Great equipment can still give great results. I met this guy on a walk on the north shore of Massachusetts. with a 600mm lens. Much better reach than mine.

As opposed to my setting up a GoPro on my moms feeder. Which is fun but not quite the same (she has a normal male cardinal)

Some fantastic pictures there. 50905348768 is stunning.


For one moment I thought this was about photography of naturism, which is a totally different thing.
