Hey, so I did some looking around myself. I've liked The Complete Guide to Nature Photography so far, but it's definitely tailored more towards beginners.

Another that I've really liked is 52 Assignments: Nature Photography. It's a collection of 52 assignments rather than an actual textbook but each assignment focuses on something different and a good amount of practical tips and advice for each of them. I've also gotten then street and landscape assignment books and really can't recommend them enough. They really force you to learn through practice rather than echoing the same principles that most books teach you, and the assignments are all fun and really well thought out. It feels more like you were hired for a professional job vs. just going out and practicing techniques.

Very good quality image and easy to use. Ive had a few of these out in the woods around me for several months.

They're not trying to say the picture is offensive, they're trying to tell you that someone stole your picture to make a profit off of via Shutterstock. Link: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Kalgin. I'd recommend you follow the suggestions above to get your picture removed from his account so he's not making money off of your work.

What a scumbag. He also stole this one, by /u/cactusy

If enough people send DMCA takedown requests, I bet his account will get deleted.

A warning to other photographers on this forum, I uploaded this photo here in January, and found it uploaded to Shutterstock using the same thread title as used on Reddit. I've now deleted my images on Reddit. Granted I should have watermarked it like I usually do but it's a shame.

I'm posting a link to his account in case any other users find their work on there since he took it from this community.

If this isn't allowed I understand, but he took the photo from this community and I feel it is important that others are aware. I'm sure it's not the only one he's stolen.

I've contacted Shutterstock for removal.

I second the Extension Tubes. Great way to begin macro photography using your existing lenses. Cheap and easy to use. One tip- set Focus to Manual, then adjust to your closest focus distance, this will give you the most magnification. Then to get focus on your fly, gently move the camera a little until the eyes or whatever come into focus. Here’s a link.

i use a tool called Eagle

tho its supposed to be for designers but I found it also useful for all the photography projects. You can categorize assets (image/videos/gifs/audios/docx...etc) across different dimensions very easily (e.g., by platform, by format, by subject, by style, by shape, by color, by date, by rating etc.),

and can easily create custom queries, smart folders, auto-import and even use your tag label to create a custom folder (e.g. one photo with two different tags can appear in different tag folders without duplicating and taking two spaces, which is extremely thoughtful).

I've found it to be very useful in managing my personal and work workflows and optimizing my project process. also, beautiful interface is a plus too

hope this helps

Thank you! He (Nosy) started showing up at the bird feeder and I couldn't help myself and started giving him peanuts. This was a very bouncy chipmunk and his hole was on the side of a small hill. I would give him peanuts and he would run and stash them and then come leaping back over the hill for more. It took a while to get the shot, we became friends in the process and I officially fell in love with chipmunks.

If you don't already know about it this chipmunk channel is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChYKNHWhVQ2xk0oPeExDyyQ

If you want a really interesting book about chipmunks I recommend https://smile.amazon.com/Eastern-Chipmunks-Solitary-Smithsonian-Hardcover/dp/B011W9HP5A/ (it's at a stupid price atm, I paid about $25 for it)

Well, first I'll say that the one I have is the first version, as opposed to the second lighter and probably sharper version.

I do like it a lot but I use it at the full 400 focal length 99% of the time and so I wonder if I would have been better off just buying a 400 prime. I also wish I had waited a little bit to get the lighter version. All that said, I've gotten a good amount of great shots with it and I do wildlife photography pretty much exclusively, though I'm no pro by any stretch.
