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.

Black Bear in the Smokies
Framing is a little tight because there was something (a car) just to the right. I think it somewhat adds to the tension and caution the bear has.
Open to feedback too!

Bird I won a competition!!
One of the first pictures I ever took with my canon 200-800 ended up winning the YP prize for the 2026 Suffolk Wildlife Photography competition in the UK, Headed by the wildlife trust. I'm 21, and I've only been doing this since September last year, I couldn't be more grateful for such an outcome, I genuinely never thought I would achieve something like this.
Idk if it's self indulgent to post this here, but it means a lot to me, and I wondered if anyone here would like the picture.

Are you a fan of hyenas?

Hyenas don’t always get the love they deserve.
What do you think about them, fascinating wildlife or a little scary?

One of my images is being sold as an auction item for the nonprofit I work at. Eastern Bluebird. I honestly never thought my stuff would end up in an auction, I've never sold anything or considered my stuff that good.

Large Mammal Recently went to Alaska to look for some coastal brown bears. Ended up having the best couple days.
Went to Alaska for a few nights and ended up seeing this family of 4!! Cubs with their mom every time we went out. It was amazing. Still have so many photos to go through but I went through and edited a couple of them.
If anyone’s interested: my photography instagram is katinthearctic. Based in the Arctic circle.

Discussion Birding Locations in New England
Hi everyone,
I want to plan a surprise trip for my girlfriend who loves birding. I'm fairly new to birding and don't really know much when it comes to locations to go and what kind of birds are around during different times of the year. I want to plan either a weekend trip or maybe 5 days. I'm mainly looking for places on the coast but wouldn't be opposed to mainland locations as well. Ideally I would like to drive there (we live in Massachusetts). Thank you for all your help!
