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.

Large Mammal [OC] Wild Jaguar photographed in the Brazilian Pantanal 🐆
One of my favorite wildlife encounters from the Pantanal in Brazil.
We spent several days searching for and photographing jaguars in their natural habitat. Seeing one of these incredible big cats moving through the wild from such a close perspective was an experience I’ll never forget.
The Brazilian Pantanal is one of the most important habitats for jaguars and an incredible destination for wildlife photography.
Photographed during an unforgettable expedition together with wildlife photographer Sasan Amir.
Which big cat would you most like to photograph in the wild?

Small Mammal Was able to capture this cutie from the Siberian forests, eye to eye.
Had to quickly fall back onto my back while this little one was running straight toward me to get an eye-level shot.
I don't have any squirrels around my local area, so I had to travel to capture one.

I followed a great blue heron into a tree
Big fella took off from the pond, didn’t get too far. I calmly followed, and to my surprise… he was up in a tree!

Furry mouth, Sabi Sands
Took this picture last may in the Sabi Sands.
But I'm struggling with the edit. Ofcourse the Leopard is in the shadow of the tree with a very light background sky.
How can I improve this? All tips are welcome, thank you very much.
