Stephen ShanklandBack in New Mexico for a couple weeks. Here's a nursing bighorn sheep, a rufous hummingbird, a sphinx moth gathering nectar, and a still life with Big Milly the millipede, named to contrast with a beetle my kid called Little Billy a couple weeks ago.

Scott Francis@stshank@mstdn.social your photos always come out so beautifully; what kind of hardware and process do you use?
Stephen Shankland@darkuncle@infosec.exchange I shoot with a Canon R5 Mark II and various lenses — 200-800mm for birds, 100mm macro for bugs, 14-35mm and 24-70mm for landscapes. Processed in Lightroom, usually pretty light edits. The mirrorless camera era has really helped with eye-tracking autofocus.

Scott Francis@stshank@mstdn.social it’s Impressionism! 😂
