    Oh. Well they look like a sort of a cross between our methhead jackrabbits and the cute little fluffy ones. Thanks for the images. That’s a really good photo. What lens did you use?

        I thought it must be long af. Not a long “AF” (as in the nikkor AF’s) but long as fuck. Very nice.

        I only got a cheap 300mm. Well I do have my dad’s old lenses as well and there’s double-rings and whatnot but that’s… more niche stuff. Not really for fast photography of moving targets, lol.

            I started back in like 2005 when I got my first kit with an 18-55 lens. Dad had some suitable longer older analog’s I had as well on top. Those are the ones I still have. I’ve bought a few lenses and cameras here and there but I mostly ran out inspiration ten years ago.

            Don’t have a car, don’t have a functioning bike, just don’t even feel like going out. But I do miss it.

              @Dasus inspiration is a strange thing. When I started I liked abstract and architecture, but lost interest after a few years, then after a gap of some 15 years, a friend invited me out on a nature walk. And from there I started afresh. I’ve been photographing wildlife (mainly birds) since 2022 and it just get better every day. I guess I am easily inspired by nature, and it’s good for my wellbeing, I now walk way more than I’ve ever done.
              I hope one day, you may chance upon some new inspiration.
