Mono Monday A few birds and an outhouse on a boat?

Is it just me or do the weeks roll by so fast, Seems it was only Monday a day or so ago, but here we are again and I am keeping to my habit of sharing Mono Images on a Monday and as promised even though I have plenty of cemetery shots I could edit for Mono Monday posts, I will try and not share them every week.

So for this week I am going to share a few Birds photos, and finish with an image that made the my inner child have a chuckle.

I have been out and about a few times with my big lens the 200-600 MM lens, trying to capture some shots of birds I am happy with and if you saw my post yesterday you will see I have had some success with seagulls at least, but also with others

Starting with this character which I saw up in a tree by the pond at Buttonwood Park the other day A turkey Vulture, I do have enough shots of it for a post on its own, but with the weather being nice and fresh at the moment I have been getting out for plenty of walks, have taken many photos but am way behind in editing, but I will get to them at some stage, but I did this one image in Mono for this post

Next up a Shot that didn't make it into my post yesterday but I did like it still so went with mono for this seagull flying by

And Of course I have been visiting the Harbor walk and trying to get some new and better shots of the Osprey, I have got some shots I am happy with but not enough for a post on its own yet, but I will get there, meanwhile here is a shot of one landing on the nest from the other day

The other birds I have bene catching are duck and geese offspring, after i catch up today with preparing posts and comment's maybe I will try and focus on editing some of those shots, but I did edit one for todays post

And ok the Little kid in me did come out as I was walking along and saw this I guess strictly speaking its a boat, but seems more like a floating working platform to me, complete with a Porta Loo, now I know it makes sense to have one if their going to be out working on the water for long periods, but it did give me a chuckle

The time is flying.

And ok the Little kid in me did come out as I was walking along and saw this I guess strictly speaking its a boat, but seems more like a floating working platform to me, complete with a Porta Loo, now I know it makes sense to have one if their going to be out walking on the water for long periods, but it did give me a chuckle

All they need is a roof, and a bed, and they would have a "moving house" on the water. I would gladly live on a sailboat with a cabin, and a bed in it, but I heard that it is very expensive to maintain sailboats.

Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Perfect set of birds for a mono study. Lots of contrast. My favorite is the osprey but I really love all osprey photos 🙂 Ok I have to ask "walking on the water" intention part of the floating porta-potty joke? or hilarious unintention typo? either way its great fun

Good morning JJ ☺️
I like the others too, but this one has caught my eye - maybe because I have never seen such a bird, but also because of the cool shot, of course 😀

Hahaha the loo on the boat/ floating work station it’s just funny.
Such a great capture of the vulture 😎 and the little ducklings… so cute.
Great you caught one of the ospreys landing on the nest.
Beautiful captures @tattoodjay

I did have such a chuckle about the Floating Loo LOL

I was surprised when I saw the Vulture have been walking there many times and first time I saw one, I have lots of other photos of it I will edit in color for a post sometime

Hahaha it was a great sight the loo 🤣

Must have been lost a bit than, the vulture. Or just passing over and had a rest. Beautiful creatures the vultures. There are lots of them here in the mountains, but they do tend to stay up there and don’t come down.
Looking forward to the coloured ones 😎

Good morning dear @tattoodjay! truly the days go by so fast.

The photos of the birds are wonderful!

The one of the boat with the chemical bath is hilarious! maybe one of the crew was in distress!

Big hugs! Have a fantastic day

The quality of these images are outstanding JJ! The seagull and the geese are my absolute favorite photos.

So, I decided to look up the camera you used and took a guess that it was a mirrorless camera and I was right :D

We’re actually going to save up some of our business funds to purchase one. Are you really loving yours? Would you say it’s easier to use and less hassle getting the shots you want? I hope you don’t mind if I pick your brain a little. We’re actually researching them to see which brand would be best for us.

I used to have a Pentax DSLR, but when I had issues with my legs I switch to Mirrorless to have a lighter load when walking around the city, at the time I went ffor Mirrorless I started with an APSC sony, the A6000, and then the 6400, was very happy with them but decided to go with Full Frame Mirrorless and stuck with Sony, now having the A7IV and also have an A7iii for if I ever need two cameras, for the type of shooting I do it works well for me the A7 line is a bit of a jack of all trades in the sony Line up

I always like going away from the most well known brand soften, hence why I had Pentax and Not Canon or NIkon, not that I think they are not good cameras as of course they are, I just like to be different

I am not a all in Fan boy so wont say Sony is the best there is I will just say I am totally happy with the Sonys I have had and now that I have a good selection of lenses for it, I will be sticking with Sony

feel free to ask any questions

This was extremely helpful information. I was just watching videos on the difference between a full frame camera and an APSC. It makes sense why you went to a full frame because most of your photos are landscapish. I think we’re going to try an APSC mirrorless camera due to we mainly do portrait and product photos. I did learn that the full frame cameras shoot better at night with less noise and I like the dual option they offer too. I know we will get cleaner shots with it compared to our DSLR and it’s of course the less expensive version and we’d be able to get it much sooner.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with me. Now the fun part begins of picking which brand we want.

and to be honest with the APSC I was very happy with it even for landscapes , the lightness of a APSC makes carrying it for a long while so much easier

I think you will be very happy with an APSC model and find it meets all your needs

That’s so great to know! Our Cannon gets really heavy after shooting for long periods of time.

Yay I’m super excited to get one! I hope we can find an awesome kit. I also want to build up our lense collection. I’ve heard so many times that buying the right lenses will also change your shooting game so definitely want to grab the right ones we need. How many lenses do you keep per camera?

one thing I strongly recommend do all your research online but then go into a camera shop and hold the one your thinking of in your hand, perhaps more important with the smaller mirrorless ASPC cameras, when I got my sony A6000 I had narrowed it down to two camera I was thinking of, I forget what the other one was but it didnt feel good in my hands, but the sony felt good

as for lenses it all depends on what your shooting, as I do a lot of photo walks I do like zoom lenses, I have a pair of Tamron lens I almost always carry the 17-28 and 28-75 both F2.8 lenses so its a versatile combination

I have a big Sony 200-600 for when I am out trying to catch birds, and for if I go to catch sporting events which i hope to catch one of the nephews doing this year, but thats so heavy so not a walk around Lens LOL

I have a 90MM macro, which I usually use more in spring, but that reminds me I must take it out soon

I also have a cheap TTAtrisan 11mm super wide/fisheye lens thats fun in some situations

I know many recommend prime lenses but for me and my style having the zoom lens combination works better

I know for portrait work many recommend a prime 50 or 85MM lenses or both

But lenses are where it gets expensive there is always a new one we want LOL, for me Tamron has brought out a 13-150 F2/2.8 Lenses which when I d]save up enough and it becomes available I will get

I can’t thank you enough for all this info and knowledge you’re sharing.

I’m so used to only having the two lenses that came with our entry level kit so I haven’t got to play around with any others to know which ones will work best for our scenarios. That’s going to be a fun part too…expanding our supplies according to our needs.

We will definitely take your advice on actually holding the camera we’re considering before buying it.

Lol I hope I don’t become a lens addict after all this. 🤣

Thanks again this has been great learning for me. I’m adding your suggestions to my notes now!
