If you have rabbits you'll probably stop having rabbits soon.Guys.
I have a baby owl in my yard.
I'm not sure I've even ever seen an owl in person in the wild.

We found a large-ish nest in our front tree, but honestly I have no idea how big an owl nest would be. I assume these guys are typically nocturnal?Wonderful. :)
Any idea where the nest is? I Would love to see the parents if possible.

Thanks! And feel free to DM me, for a beer and photographing some stuff together. Your BW shots came out really nice.
Damn i'm surprised the grain size isn't a lot bigger.

What body did you use?
I can't wait to see how my Ilford XP-2 Super 400 photos came out.

Ok, I'm stalking around in my front yard at 11pm and I found one of the parents right above me. It's pitch black out so this is all I can get. It dive bombed me right after.Yeah they're usually nocturnal creatures, but it isn't uncommon for owls to hunt during daylight hours too. I took the shot of the owl in my avatar during the afternoon.
What a cutie!Guys.

Ugh this reminds me I still need to take my QL17 to a shop to get it...unstuck for a lack of a better term.I can't wait to see how my Ilford XP-2 Super 400 photos came out with my QL17
Thanks. I've been getting a kick out of photographing more things lately. Really helps me see things differently.

Thanks. It was really fun just trying to work the angles and figure out the spacing and how to fill the frame.

At that distance and at that focal length that's not going to happen.Yeah, probably not. I was torn because I wanted to separated them from the busy and close background.
I just picked up a Lumix GX85.
Was only $499 and included a 45-150mm lens.
This is my first ever camera so I have no clue what I'm doing. Mostly street/traveling/screwing around.
Any tips and tricks of anybody who owns this?
Also lenses are expensive. I googled good ones like a wide angle and was surprised it cost way more than the actual camera lol
Hmmm, that last one is your best image IMO, but there's unusually high amount of noise there, even for 6400. Did you do a lot of sharpening? Or check your camera settings and ensure the sharpening isn't turned upto 11. If you share the raw image here I can look into it.
When it comes to grain I don't alter it. I don't try to reduce it and I don't try to enhance it. It's got what it's got and I just leave it at that.Yeah, the noise is from post processing. 6400 is very usable on the 6D MK II. I was going for an old newspaper look. Most of it isn't even from the noise slider itself, but from the color noise reduction set to 0. Here's a cleaner version. Now that you said it, I do think I overdid it.
By the way, people there are posting these photos all over social media and getting tons of likes (I mean, tons compared to what I get when I post). This is nice.
Edit: fixed the link poiting to the noiser version.
This is a good set, some of your friends are hitting Jojo territory.Went to see my friends play Friday night, and I wasn't really thinking of doing any pictures, but I always carry my camera!!
This dude was legit fun to watch, owning the stage.

Ok, makes sense. Definitely play around with what you like best, I like grain but at higher ISOs there'll naturally be enough grain for my taste. Another thing I wanted to point out, as I also noted you mentioned trying to blur out backgrounds etc. So the idea is to focus/guide the viewer's eyes to your subjects correct? And you don't have to or even want to blur out backgrounds all the time. Sometimes we want the backgrounds to be perfectly in focus to provide context. But you want us to focus on something. On your photos, obviously on the performers.Yeah, the noise is from post processing. 6400 is very usable on the 6D MK II. I was going for an old newspaper look.

And to take your last photo as an example (I will delete this once you have seen it):

Crop the photo to get rid off unnecessary distractions, or things that add nothing to the subject at hand. I don't care about the announcer, or the other guy in the back with the camera. But the few guys in the back do not bother me, as they add some context, and my eyes are still fixed on the performers themselves. You may have your own interpretation, but still you will probably agree that now the focus is more on what you were actually concentrating on while taking the photo.
He should've tagged you.They are using my photo in a pamphlet for a new event. The organizer was an old friend, I had sent him the link for the Google photos album containing the developed photos and he send it to everyone interested (like the guy in this pamphlet). I have to admit this made me smile.
