Boodalang Waarnk (Pelican Stories)  SL2 with 90-280 at 280

Recently have joined Bird Photography pages and noticed how the sharpest and very close up images seem to be a standard goal for most photographers. Well, sharp is good in any situation however closely cropped images tend to be unimaginative and lacking any "story" going on. Stuart's images above might highlight what I am saying. I really like the first image showing the birds natural perch but the 100% crop or images like them prove nothing except for the fact that a particular lens is super sharp or the person knows how to use Topaz AI. So I thought it must be a "norm" or an unspoken standard to get very close and or crop closely to the subject as these are the most liked type of images on social media. Shooting "small in the frame" allows me to add the landscape element and place the bird into the context of nature.

Thank you for this eloquent reminder that there's more than one way to pictorially "capture" critters.   I've reread it a few times since you posted, and it has impacted both my choice of glass as well as how I've approached subsequent photo ops with my feathered friends.

Street Clergy 20/10/23 SL2 with 90-280

I switched to the 90-280 in the city, primarily for potential abstract building images. I felt awkward walking around with the big lens but not everything is smooth going in photography. One must work with the tools to get the desired shot.  This was a quick snap some 4 metres away.
