sometimes you go way, way up into the quiet Appalachian forest where there's no cell service and no one else around and the spirit of irrepressible optimism fills you for just a little while.

#canon rebel t6i #photography #wv #you're not alone #there's bugs #there's still bugs #and I think we're gonna be okay #I saw fireflies and a newt and a rabbit and a coyote and SO many butterflies and wildflowers #and the world may be burning alive elsewhere but here the swallowtails sip nectar #and a redtail hawk flies alongside your van as you climb a mountainside #and you pop the side window open so the dogs can sniff the breeze and gaze into the distance #and that night as you go to your tent the stars shine so bright it makes your eyes water #and the silence is deep and haunting but an owl is hooting somewhere #and in the morning the sun shines on the ferns and a woodpecker hammers away above you #and you know what? #it's gonna be okay #grace your face #it cost $5 to stay at this campsite and it was the best money I've spent all year

I got a refurb canon rebel t7 as a wedding gift last year and have several good lenses (Tamron something for landscape, and a canon 55-250 mm for zooms) both of which are second hand from camera shops, but I was wondering what exactly do you recommend for a birding setup? Preferably dedicated amateur-friendly, and not national geographic level! Also I'm limited to the t7 for at least a while. The 55-250 is blurry at max zoom but I can get decent pictures with good lighting and a stationary subject and I wonder if better lens will help. Thank you!

Hi! I'm gonna be honest, 85% of my wildlife photos on this blog were taken with my Canon Rebel T6i and a Canon 55-250mm. It is not a professional level lens but it is extremely versatile and was my go-to for years and years. I would highly recommend it as a budget lens for pretty much everything!

I would personally stay away from the Canon 75-300mm. It's a decent lens but you get a lot of distortion and I found the image stabilizer lacking. I used my 55-250mm much more than my 75-300mm.

My current set up is a refurbished Canon 7D, which I really like so far, and a Sigma 150-600mm. You can definitely get better lenses (and better cameras) but for where I'm at in terms of skill, usage, and budget, it's pretty much perfect. I'm really excited to get out more this year now that I have a really solid set up!

#a note that most of my non wildlife photos on this blog are taken with my sony set up #i have only just started using the sigma 150-600 this spring #so most of my photos on this blog were taken with my 55-250 and cropped #im not sure what youre looking for in terms of budget #but most cities have facebook groups for selling and buying used lenses and gear #so take a look there if youre interested! #and a note that the canon rebels with an i at the end (t6i t5i t7i etc) #tend to have much better image stabilization than the ones without an i #if youre mostly photographing at full zoom without a tripod #imo its worth 'downgrading' to a t6i or t5i just because your photos will be less blurry #your mileage may vary of course #ive only used like 4 cameras in my whole life #but im soooooo excited to use my new to me canon and my big lens more #my wildlife tag is #find me where the wild things are #if you want to see some examples

Final Project

all images are mine and taken with a Canon Rebel T6i

The passage of time is inescapable. Whether it feels like it moves slowly or quickly, it always pushes forward as hours, days, or years pass by. With the passing of time comes the cycle of life to death and this too is something that cannot be stopped, whether death comes suddenly and unfairly, or the natural cycle runs its full course. For my final project, I wanted to create a body of work that represented this passage of time as a cycle of life to death. I used nature to do so, as plants in all stages of growth and decay are present everywhere and their life cycle moves very quickly compared to the human lifespan. I created 5 photo composites using photomontage techniques to create my body of work and each of them can be viewed separately to study the complexity of each stage of life or viewed together to see a bird’s eye view of the progression of time through each of my works. I was heavily inspired by Laura Plageman’s “Reverse of a Ruin” collection, especially regarding her use of organic layer masks to create a new landscapes out of many photographs.

My approach to ordering my works is based off a death, to life, and then back to death cycle to encompass the reality of both natural death and sudden death. My first work is called “barren”, and it is comprised of places in nature completely devoid of life: cracked earth, burnt remains, fossils, and empty shells. Next is “wither”, and this work shows nature that is quite literally withering away with images of dried grass, cornfields, and a fallen tree. The next work, titled “nurture”, shows new growth being introduced back into the earth as images of flower buds, new leaves, and low-level grasses and ferns take over. Then comes “flourish” which showcases nature in full bloom and in the peak of its life. Lastly, my final work titled “conquer” shows the reality of commercialization and expansion of human civilization, removing life quickly and putting manmade structures that block life from growing in them and on them.

My process for my final project consisted of three steps: collecting source images, masking, and ordering layers. All my images come from my many trips to plant nurseries or different sites around the country where nature either thrives or struggles to survive. I then began to import all my desired source images onto one canvas and began masking. I utilized a few different techniques to create the organic nature of my layer masks. I used the quick selection tool and the magnetic lasso tool to get rough shapes, then went through with the brush to round out and refine edges, as well as make the layer masks have a direction and flow to them. I then layered them on top of the base image to create a new landscape that encompasses each stage of life I wanted to represent. For my work “flourish” I used my layer mask techniques to create a background but used fully intact masks of flowers to be the foreground and represent the fullness of life. For my work “conquer” however, I made basic layer masks with the polygonal lasso tool to get sharp edges and made multiple copies of each layer to arrange in unnatural and “manmade” shapes to show the absence of organic creation. Overall, I had so much fun creating this body of work and am incredibly satisfied with how I connected each work to one another to preview the next stage of life that was to come, as this progression is gradual and not abrupt.

Hello! Sorry to bother you, but I saw your picture of Philemon and started poking around your photography blog... and loved how you were able to capture the moment in a lot of them. I'm going to be attending my first con ever in about a month, and am looking for tips/advice partly because while I have done some manual shooting for sports/street, it's been predominantly outdoors and during the day and also partly because I love your photos and would love to hear some of what works for your if you are willing to share (please don't feel obligated to share if you don't want to or don't have the energy!).

While I have a ton of questions, maybe the one I'm most curious about is if you've found the lighting at cons hard to work with. I don't have a particularly fast tele zoom lens (f4-5.6), and pretty much all I've seen online (besides up iso) is to buy a fast lens. I have a 56mm f1.4, but I'm pretty sure I'll be sitting too far away to get the detail and dof I want with that. Is it worth bringing a slow telephoto zoom lens for the con though or will the lighting just make taking my 56mm make more sense? I don't want to buy a new lens that I don't need otherwise for this, and I also am a bit unsure about what/how much to pack given that I've never been to a con and am not experienced enough shooting indoors to guess based on the con videos how bad the lighting is.

I know it's not only the gear that makes the photo, but if you have any advice for a novice, I'd be happy to hear it. Thank you for making it through my ramble ask. Sorry again for bothering you...

First of all, thank you so much for your comments in my photos! I consider myself one of the least experiences photographers you'll find at a con, so Knowing that someone likes my work really makes my day! 😍😍😍

Gonna put the rest of this under a cut cuz it got long. lol

To give you an idea of what I'm working with, I was in seat B40 this year. That's all the way on the side aisle. My camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T6i, and the lens I used was a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Occasionally, I sat in empty seats that were closer and snapped a few shots, but not many. (I sat in the front row for the shots I posted of Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum. Tom was on stage, Michael was just... EVERYWHERE. 🤣)

The lighting at Creation cons is not great. Also, it can change from panel to panel. It would be lovely if they could mount their lights higher so the guests don't get blinded and ask for the lights to be brought down. But, since that will probably never happen, we work with what we've got.

Personally, I love a zoom lens because I'm always zooming in and out, trying to catch different things. I know other photographers favor not zooming because they get better quality photos in other ways, but I'm not clear on how that works.

Now, for my first suggestion: rent a lens. It's fairly inexpensive to rent a lens, and you get to try different lenses out without spending a fortune on lenses you later figure out aren't what you want. I believe a few of the other con photographers use a site called lensrentals.com. I rented a lens last year from Unique Photo in Philly, since they're not too far from me. You can also rent from UP online at uniquephoto.com. I went in person to talk to one of their experts to help me decide what kind of lens I wanted to try since I'm so new to this. They also have a store in Fairfield, NJ, so if you're close to either of those places, I would definitely suggest you head in there and check them out!

The reason why I'm suggesting that you rent a lens is because I think you'll want a lower f-stop than your zoom lens has, and if you're further away than the first 3-4 rows, you're going to want to zoom. (Gotta get up close and personal with the pretty!!! And good lord, but they're all so freaking pretty.) Renting a lens is a relatively cheap way to test things out. It's possible you may rent a lens and then later realize that your own lenses would have done the job. You'll only be out a hundred bucks or so by renting. (UP did require a deposit of half the retail value of the lens, but they were great about getting that back to me quickly.)

ISO - I'm always trying to use the lowest ISO I can get away with because noise is a pet peeve of mine. (I adore Lightroom's new Denoise AI!!!!) I know other photographers aren't as picky about noise and raise their ISO. I try to keep mine at or below 3200. One of my friends shoots at an ISO I didn't know existed, it's so high. (She yells at me. "You need to increase your shutter speed and your ISO, Michelle!") She's got a Nikon, though, and I sometimes wonder if camera make and model might also affect things like that.

As far as packing is concerned, I'm a bad person to ask. I bring freaking everything, even when I know darn well I'm not gonna use it. Seriously, the only thing I left at home this con was my lens balls. I'm terrible.

The biggest thing I learned early on is that you can always lighten dark photos in processing, but it's really hard to darken overly light photos.

Renting a lens and shooting darker are the two big suggestions I have. Every photographer I know at cons does things a little differently though. Most are willing to stop and chat about what settings they use, too. @mandileaphotography, @brooksba, and @ditchlilytiger are three awesome photographers and people that I know are here on Tumblr and I can tag them. lol! They each may have their own tips and tricks to suggest! Mandi has helped me and countless other newbie photographers over the couple of years I've known her.

Something that Chris Schmelke said to me about editing, but I use it when shooting, too: If you're not sure where to start, see what Auto does, and then make changes from there until you're happy. If I'm really not sure where to start with my camera settings, I take a burst or two of photos in auto mode and see what settings the camera thinks are right. Then, I adjust until I'm happy.

Non-photography tips for your first con: Take snacks because forgetting to eat is totally a thing. Hydrate hydrate HYDRATE. Have a binder or something to keep your photo ops in. Drink more water. Wear comfortable shoes. Take a water bottle with you. Take Chris Schmelke's photography class because he's a sweetie and loves to answer any questions you might have about photography of all kinds. And don't forget to drink plenty of water. Have I mentioned staying hydrated? You think I'm kidding, but I failed at both eating and drinking water last weekend and then wondered why the room started spinning. And that was my 9th Creation con. I know better and I still did it! More tips like this can be found at @spncontips!

If you're on Twitter, check out @spnconphotogs there. A bunch of us run that account and we have lists of con photographers you can follow and get to know. We also have a Discord server that we don't use much, but it's there if the ex-bird app ever truly dies. DM me or one of the others for an invite!

Sorry for the babbling, but this is everything I can think of off the top of my head to help you out! Even the "big name" fandom photographers are all nice and sweet as pie and willing to help you out if they're not running from one place to another. Just find someone with a really big lens and say hi!!

[ohheyitsjustbear]

I don’t have “one” camera I use because I like to switch mediums between digital, small format film, large format film, pinhole, etc etc etc

My current digital is an old as hell Canon Rebel T6i and I need to upgrade it very badly, but I have no money. I miss being in college and having access to really cool cameras

Hehe sammme, I made a pinhole camera out of an old tin once, the pic came out so bad 😂 left it taped to my window for like a month! I'd love to do more on film but getting it developed here cost so much for a single roll, and I don't have time/space/money for a darkroom 😮‍💨 loved the one we had access to in college.. same with instant, ancient ass Polaroid sitting there but like, £30 for 10 photos?! Fuckkkkk offffffff 😂😂

Wooo Canon is best! 🤭 nothing wrong with the Rebel series either, solid cameras. I got lucky and picked up a cheap 5d mk3 10 years back, but I find myself using the lil lumix I picked up to take to Venice, its a hell of a lot lighter 😅
