Thursday Animals - Hawk & Segulls

The other day I went to check out the shore but it turned out to be way too windy and cold for my liking. There's a big garbage dump on our way there and it was absolutely swarmed with birds. Birds everywhere. I couldn't help but stop to test my 300mm lens to see how much detail I could get. It all happened so fast that I didn't stop to think about how zoomed in I was. This was cropped from the original, which I feel did not give the detail I wanted in the hawk.

While it's nice having this lens, I know there are much better lenses for animal photography. If I could have just gotten a little closer! Practice makes perfect and I look forward to taking more pictures of the Wisconsin wildlife. I've never really taken pictures of birds before and it was certainly a new experience that I look forward to repeating.

Thanks for stopping by! Steem on!

When I joined Steemit I made the decision to always Power-Up my earnings. For now, payouts are set to 50/50 but you bet I will convert & Power Up! Besides internal transfers, I have never cashed out and don't plan on it! Power-Up only!

Osm. Have a wonderful photos

It's like I got hit by a comment spam train. At least I got a laugh out of it.

Great photos :)

Is this for real? This feels like comment spam. Your one liners on others posts seem to be comment spam too even though they're each slightly different. Are you even human? Between you, @tastetwist and @hiranur all slapping me with shit comments I don't know what to think but spam. Why you do this?

Hi @bitfiend This is not spam i put aside sometime of my day to give back to people as i feel there isn't enough people going out of there way to leave comments, people either are on a curation trail and do not actually read peoples posts often. I like to read peoples posts and leave a nice comment which is what i did on your post. I'm a singer/songwriter and when i put my songs out i sometimes get long comments or just "nice song" or great song or good song but all these comments are appropriated by me. So i just want to let you know i am not a robot i am indeed a human... i'm sorry you feel that my comment of "Great photo" is shit. (I Still think it was a great photo)

Fair enough, my apologies then. I guess it was just bad timing. For what it's worth, thanks for taking the time to respond. You are right most people are on a curation trail and there's little engagement. This is why I reacted so. I still appreciate the positive feedback. I can say that the other two were indeed comment spam, so you can see where I was coming from. God bless and Steem On!

No problem i hope you have a good day
Cheers,
Mel

Excellent question. And extremely appropriate reaction given the obvious abundance of comment spammers out there.

...my account was hacked last night and the bot created a phishing site link here in the comments from my account ... the link is now removed... Today I got my account back.. sorry about that :( :( :( thanks.

Why are you spamming me @steemflagrewards

How do you even get to rep 54 with this nonsense. This is hurtful to the platform and considered spam. Don't spam my blog.
