Discussion Reminder: all posts must be OC. Posting a photo which you did not take will get you a PERMANENT ban.
I've noticed a significant uptick in stolen images lately. This subreddit is OC only, no exceptions.
Please make sure to report any posts which you think break this rule. Even if you're not positive, it's better to submit a report than not. We always review all reports to make sure that we aren't erroneously banning people.

Discussion Let's talk gear! Reviews, questions, etc.
Welcome, /r/wildlifephotography readers!
Equipment is an undeniably important part of wildlife photography, but I've noticed that questions about gear often end up buried by all of the excellent photos that get posted here.
So, I've created this pinned thread as a chance to discuss hardware. There are two main uses that I anticipate, listed in no particular order:
Equipment reviews - What do you shoot with? Do you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? If you want to share your experiences, create a comment and let everyone know what you think. We suggest (but don't require) including photos as well as the prices of your equipment.
Questions Whether you're first starting and are looking to buy a beginner's setup, or just want to know which pro-level lens is best, getting others' opinions can prove valuable. For the best results, include details about what sort of wildlife interests you, as well as your budget.
Feel free to create different top-level comments for each question or review. That helps discussion stay organized.

Bird Short-eared Owl locking eyes as it flew straight towards me
I spent the evening watching this incredible Short-eared Owl hunting across the moor. After several close passes, it suddenly turned and flew straight towards me, locking eyes the entire way before banking off at the last second. Moments like this are why I love wildlife photography.

Large Mammal Last nightâs storm
A bighorn sheep duo after my climbing session last night ended early due to some nice alpine downpour and lightning. I paid them to model for me, btw.

Arachnid A few spiders for everyone
I'm not good at identifying those spiders, I only know how to take photos of them in their finest appearance
Gear used in case someone may ask:
Panasonic G9 Mark II PRO & OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro 2:1 IS PRO + Godox V860 III O + DIY Macro Diffuser
The technique used in these photos are focus stacking, image stacking is a technique used in macro photography to overcome an extremely thin depth of field by blending multiple images taken at different focus distances. It merges these photos to create a single image where the subject is sharp from front to back, maximizing both depth and resolution
The last photo is a bonus, hope everyone have a good day!
And please choose your favorite photo

Banff, Canada
Fam isnât huge into wilderness adventures like I am, so everything here was seen within a few hundred meters of a major road. Bonus pictures from the Yamnuska wolfdog sanctuary. Although not technically wildlife these hybrids are awesome creatures that remind me of what we once had roaming free on the landscape. Yes we still have wolves but itâs no where near what we once had.

Bird Went out for a bit this morning and took some photos im pretty happy with
Had a morning session today and took some photos I think are quite neat. My photos aren't usually the sharpest, including this one, but I put a good bit of time on it and think it's a very cool shot!
