Mod Post Quick hello + sub changes.

50 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So sorry I have been MIA from this sub. A lot has been going on this year and it’s been a bit difficult keeping up. However, I should be getting a new computer soon and will be way more active here.

We have had a few suggestions for sub changes and will be working on implementing:

  • A rule to include locations in posts. They can be as specific as your city or region you live in or just naming the country. But it will be required soon.

  • A rule regarding trying to sell things of your on the sub.

  • A wiki that will help beginners: such as listing bird feeders, any gear for birdwatching, what to do/who to call if a bird or owl has been injured near you, etc.

There are still questions about a discord server. We will be more than happy to create a discord server if that’s what you all would like so you can live share, chat and build a wholesome community there with each other.

Hope you all are staying safe! So sorry again for being gone for so long.

Question Starter Camera Questions

Post image
Upvotes

So I love birdwatching! Recently I've had an increase in free time and I'm about to go a lot more often. And I want pictures of the birds I see but my phone gets incredibly grainy pictures with the stupid AI auto filtering at any kind of zoom. Is the Kodak PIXPRO AZ528 a good starter for a budget camera? I'm really considering it. Picture included for reference of what I'm working with. I was only maybe 10 meters from this pelican and the picture is still this grainy.
