Red wattlebird calling
Apologies on not such a sharp image! There was a rush for the camera and no time to change lenses, plus I was a fair distance away and through glass.
I happened to be looking out to the back garden when this red wattlebird flew in and instead of beginning to feed, it immediately began calling....I chanced running for the camera and trying to capture it calling as I've never done so. They really throw their heads back and let rip with their quite screechy and raucous call which has been described as a 'cough', a harsh 'yac a yac' and a loud 'chok'. This moment also afforded a lovely view of the bright yellow underbelly and colourful inside of the mouth.
30 cm length
The red wattlebird is a passerine bird native to southern Australia. At 33–37 cm in length, it is the second largest species of Australian honeyeater.

Crazy how only now I noticed you're also using a D850. Don't know about you, but I have so much love for that camera. I normally don't have any emotional affection towards gear, but this one is an exception. Posted 2 years ago
If you ever want to know something about the D850, don't hesitate to ask. I may not always know the answer, but I've been using the entire D800 series for years: D800, D810, D850. Posted 2 years ago

This is best done on a desktop/laptop. Visit that page, click "Load original" in the top right corner and wait until the spinning wheel stops. Now use your mouse wheel to zoom in insanely deeply and discover a lot of extra detail. You have the same camera and can do the same, if you want.
The way I personally export is via Lightroom, there in the export settings I set the max file size to 14.9MB (to stay under 15MB). Lightroom will then prepare a file at max resolution (so no change) at a quality level that fits in 15MB. Posted 2 years ago
- Non-members never get access to that "load original" feature.
- Members do get access yet only if both you and them have the feature enabled
So it's a "give and take" feature.
That said, somebody could join, enable it for themselves, and if you also have it enabled, that way get access to your high res files. To me this is fine, as hardly anybody bothers, but of course the decision is yours.
Just wanted to share that you can use the full capability of your camera here. Posted 2 years ago
