Photograph and Camera talk

You can for sure get some interesting shots with it.
Your stuff looks good . -
Today was a holiday here and the weather was promising for photos: little wind, good light. So I sat waiting for some birds to come for water and food. Not artistic, mostly just descriptive type bird pics…
Common thrush around here. Local name “jichi taruma”
Two tanagers; the green/bluish one is far more common and called ‘sayubu”.
This small guy, a parula, is an insectivore and moves in lightning fast bursts.
I was sitting in my kitchen having beers with a heavy lens on a tripod…lazy afternoon. Good relaxation.
(Nikon D500 and a 600 mm lens)

Not artistic…
Maybe not, but beautifully executed photography nonetheless..
. I'm with Ruben, they're well done-could easily i.d. a bird from them and art can take a flying fuck

Magnificent!!! All 3 shots are beautiful @JDelage

What are the straight lines? Satellites, planes?
More than likely, satellites. Shame, the night sky is being hijacked.
Space X will only worsen the issue….. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/1/7/21003272/space-x-starlink-astronomy-light-pollution
As brilliant as Elon may be, his answer to it is said to be nothing more than a band-aid….. https://phys.org/news/2020-05-costly-collateral-elonmusk-starlink-satellite.html

@Jett129 Canon 6D Mark I with Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L, 30s at 2000 ISO.
To be honest, my main photo goal for this trip was to do a composite image of multiple meteors by taking 30s exposures throughout the night on Aug 11th. That was a complete, absolute disaster for a reason that I am too embarrassed to mention here but which is 100% my fault…
The photos were taken in Idaho during a 7 day rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river, which was a unique experience.

Thank you. I have plenty of other pics from the trip, but from the phone as during the day my 6D was locked in a Pelican case. This was one day when we stopped early.
Yes, this lens is amazing, but they sure don't give it away… ???
The 6D does have a good reputation for night photography. I'm going to try to do more, probably next Summer, as the skies are getting quite cloudy now in the Pac NW. The new 6D (Mark II) is even better because it has a built-in intervalometer, peaking function (hard to focus on those stars at night), and a swiveling screen.
-
i have a 6D and am thinking of upgrading to a 5d3. never thought the 6d would be that good in night photography. most night shots in the streets i shoot, i give credit to the lenses more than the body.
do you shoot them in locations that has total darkness? or would shooting out the backyard in a suburb work?
-
If I were upgrading my 6D Mk I, I would just get the Mk II, but obviously that's based on my needs of a non-specialized, practical, body.
Those pics were taken in the middle of nowhere in Idaho. There was virtually 0 light pollution (except someone using a red-tinted headlamp during the first pic).
You can take good night pics with some light pollution but you're limited (I'm not sure you could capture nebulae shots). I have a print of a Milky Way shot taken from the San Juan islands, where there's still quite a bit of light pollution.
Outstanding…...
