American wigeon (in the foreground) with Eurasian wigeon. I usually try to isolate the species but I like the comparison in this photo. The less commun Eurasian wigeons like to socialize with the American wigeons.
Canard d'Amérique (en avant-plan) et Canard siffleur. J'essaie habituellement de photographier les canards individuellement mais j'aime la comparaison dans cette photo. Le Canard siffleur est beaucoup plus rare dans la région et aime socialiser avec les Canards d'Amérique.

Compare this with the bald eagle and mocking bird shot. The bald eagle is perched near the front top of the tower. Another is perched about half way down. No one walking the path I was on saw them unless I pointed them out! I love my long lens! I also love my iPhone for getting shots like this one.
Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F8. Of course, this comparison to the previous image is not straightforward. It is not just a different and much more expensive camera, the lens has a different focal range and is really old (over 60 years). But I do not think that the previous image, done with a "budget combo", is in any way inferior to this one. In fact, when it comes to judging an image as "interesting" or "artistic" I don't think that the question of budget or not plays a role at all.
Newly hatched cicada. It latched on to an old fence post here at home for the next transformation. It will begin to blacken in a few hours.

A Neotropic cormorant on the left (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) and a Double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) on the right. The size difference is clearly apparent. Always interesting to get two different versions of the same species in the same image. There are arguably 40 different species of the cormorant / shag species.

Leica M Mono, Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F5.6. The settings for both shots are broadly the same (ISO 2500 corresponds to ISO 1250 on the M8) and I tried to edit both images in the same way as well. I am not trying to demonstrate that rangefinder cameras can do animal photography - we all know that other camera types do better in this regard. The comparison is rather between the old and low resolution M8 and the more advanced M Monochrome. It turns out that in terms of sharpness, the old M8 is still going strong. Resolution is more of a problem, especially at higher ISO settings (so, the M8 would struggle with nature and landscape photography). For portrait and street, in fact for all subjects where roughness is legitimate, the old camera is a wonderful tool. The Monochrome can do all of it and is more open to post-processing intervention.
Snow and Ross Geese side by side for comparison. I've been trying to get a shot like this for years.
Well here is the comparison of the photo of RL and my new pose. Hope you like! I tried to do my best. Adriana, thank you for your patience and cooperation... loviu <3
Here you can see the colouring and bill differences between an immature male and an older male Surf Scoter.
A shot to demonstrate the difference in size between the Hairy Woodpecker (f) and Downy Woodpecker (f).
The two shots of the woodpeckers were easily combined as both were taken in similar light , on the same perch from a fixed ( tripod) distance so that the ratios and sizes were exact......layering the two shots was made easy in that at 50 % opacity I could see both images and superimpose one on top of the other by using the branch. I used the tiny knot hole under the Hairy's claw to line up both branches/layers.
3 coats of each, but the OPI is the only one that needed it imo.

Taking a quick portrait break to celebrate the winter solstice. The weather tonight may block Saturn, but last night was pretty good. It was nice to be able to photograph this locally. Frankly, the city lights and moon were helpful to take out all the other stars from the sky. I always wanted to photograph this statue in the park, but never new what to use it for until last night. The moon, Saturn and Jupiter are to scale: the statue is not. This is three separate photographs realigned, one of the statue, one of the moon, and one of the planets. Saturn is so small in comparison. I look forward to seeing images from the astrophotographers who have equipment suited to that purpose. Keller, Texas, USA, December 2020

Left to right; shots taken in at 10 mins interval, approximately at 5:25, 5:35, and 5:45 pm.
Left most at 5:25 pm, 12 images exposure blending.
Middle frame at 5:35 pm, 10 images exposure blending.
Right frame at 5:45 pm, 17 images exposure blending. For this image I moved the tripod 2-3 feet behind the previous position, hence a slight different view.
I will post another image for the right most frame, where I merged 51 frames for a true three EV exposure blended image to get the most natural color.
I am not at all satisfied with this framing, but I did not know and had any other option. I will look for a better angle next year if possible.
White tailed eagle in company off some hooded crows. Now you can see the difference in size,birdwise. But also that the crows are not scared of this mighty eagle who I thought was king :-) and in this picture you can see his white tail..
Just a quick snap to use as an example in another thread. Did not clean before, because I was in a hurry and was not trying to make something beautiful.
Panasonic 35-70mm F/2.8 (1st generation)
OM System 12-40mm F/2.8 II
The OM lens is slightly shorter at it's most compact, but is longer at it's most extended. The Panasonic, however, does not change size as it zooms.
I thought it would be fun to show the direct comparison between two similar setups!

I took a shot of this striped lynx (Oxyopes salticus) mama the other day using my Vivitar (Komine) 90mm f2.8 1:1 Macro. Today, I found the same gorgeous girl still guarding her egg clutch, so I snapped a remarkably similar shot using my Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 1:2 Macro paired with a 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter.
Right away, you can see the difference in color reproduction. The word I keep finding is "flat". The depth of the greens, and the subtle undertones of the browns and darker shades are just missing! This Phoenix lens is a really stellar lens, but can't compare frame-for-frame with the Komine 90mm. It's also worth noting the overall level of clarity!
When you zoom in, you can start to see the difference in resolving power pretty clearly. The Phoenix does a darn good job for a stack of glass in a plastic shell, but the shot captured using my Komine a few days back is much sharper on individual details. Both shots are captured at 1:1, but magnification rate does not always mean the image is worth magnifying!
Of course, both of these lens setups are literally decades behind the times and rendered fully obsolete by modern mirrorless cameras, insane 15 frames per second burst modes, and focus peaking, but it's fun to show the budget side of the hobby! You can 100% capture worthwhile images without modern gear and guided trips, you just have to learn your equipment!
This comparison was brought to you at 1:1 by my plastic fantastic Phoenix (Cosina) 100mm f3.5 Macro, attached to a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter. This photo is uncropped. This lovely little lady is around 6-7mm long!
I plan few heads from few companies and plan to match with diferent bodies.
I have found, that looking at pages each time I think of some match, is very time-consuming.
So I have chosen my fav doll companies and made this pic.
Pictures are not in scale, so some of bodies are biger than others, it was mostly done for a shapes, propotions, hips, chests etc.
But all bodies are over 61 cm.
Scratch (bantam Old English Game hen) egg on the left.
Ameraucana (standard Wheaten) egg on the right.
I've heard that first eggs are usually small, so I'm guessing that since the Ameraucanas are just beginning to lay (one of them laid her first egg just before we got her on Tuesday) this is the other hen's first egg. I hope they'll get bigger over time, especially since they're getting lots of good food now.
I did a bit of an "experiment" the other day with my 50mm lens. I haven't been able to get a decent comparison shot of the difference in Dof, and I finally did.
But, for those of you who didn't know, the smaller your aperture (the larger the f number) the clearer the background becomes.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!
I have never done this before, but I had to put these two pictures together so that you can compare the differences. I used the identical prompt in MidJourney and DDT2D and this is the result. Basically I asked for a woman who was not feeling well, sitting in her bed and working on her laptop. I also wanted it in the style of Norman Rockwell. I did MJ first and was disappointed, and then I tried DDT2D and was blown away!
Don't get me wrong, I have had some incredible MJ results, but in this case, DD walks away with the honours!!
