Post your nature walk photos here.

[Brownie]

My son and I are trying to get in the habit of a couple hikes per week. Yesterday we went to a local marsh area with the intent of walking a couple of miles. We took a wrong turn, ended up on a different trail, and walked over 4! Oh well, at least we got off to a good start.

I didn't want to lug one of the FF along so I took the A6000 and the only APS-C lens I own, the 18-55. It's a nice size camera for this type of outing and allows room in my sling bag for several hundred cans of mosquito repellant! I did find myself wishing I had more reach and will probably end up looking for one of the other 18 - XX lenses.

Anyway, please feel free to post your nature walk photos.

I do love these bad ass birds that disobey the 'rules'..!

Got this yesterday near my place. Just picked up the Sigma 150-600mm Dg Dn Sports and had half an hour to try it out before heading in to work. Was impressed with the resolution! Surprisingly the lens isn't too much of a handful to use either. It's a monster for sure, but well balanced for what it is.

This little angel came running over to me yesterday then jumped up on my shoulder. One is before, the other is after I took her off...

From an urban park near our home this morning….(I feel badly for this creature though given the general condition of the water it lives in).
To the OP, I agree….the A6000 series is a great walk-around camera esp with a smaller sized lens And takes excellent images even by today’s standards.

This was near my parent's place on the South Coast of NSW a few weeks ago. Loved this scene which popped up right in front of me, it was a lovely surprise! View attachment 21301View attachment 21302

That's awful, poor thing! It probably eases his concerns when he sees what humans were basically forced to do in the last couple of years though...

It fits just fine, and that's a great shot! Monochrome is the perfect choice.

This flower cluster was smaller than a golf ball. Really beautiful.

These walkways are a great idea to improve disability access, though they benefit greatly by the introduction of resting seats every 200 meters or so. There’s a tendency to make them too steep on sloping terrain. This one looks great though!

Went for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday and carried the a6700 and 18-135 lens. My area has a few man-made ponds and lakes which makes for an easy intro to flora & fauna which like wetlands.

Baby Godzilla was sunning himself, but alert enough to flee when I tried to get closer.
