How can this work in a nature reserve?

You are dreaming if you think telephone wires add to a composition. I am beginning to think there are far too many so-called you-tube "experts". Most of them don't know what they are talking about, just post video after pointless video, spouting out the same old garbage.

Absolutely fantastic and beautifully captured! Thank you 🙏😍

my problem with APriority is too much noise after

Nice video. I'm really enjoying your channel, Paul. I've been a photographer all of my life and also a birder... But never really wanted to bring the two together. Recently got the urge to do that so have got myself a 200-600 and starting to learn a whole new genre of photography. Your vids are helping a lot. Thank you! Graeme

Hi Paul, tried out the focus bracketing on Damselflies, worked a treat ! Thanks for the info on the subject. The only problem is that the TiFF files created by PS are huge - well over 1GB.

Brilliant video enjoyed it

Aloha for the 4th or 5th time this morning (Hawai'i Aleutian Time), BRILLIANT! It's your experience in a variety of environments with a variety of bird plumages which is really helpful. And now instead of wanting to toss my new R5 into the (Pacific) ocean, I'm game to do some more experimenting! Mahalo nui loa!

Aloha (yet again) from Honolulu, I wanted a video (from you) focused on the AF settings and I found it. BRILLIANT! Just what I needed for thinking through the AF settings. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Appreciated. PS - the AF segment was NOT painful! It's just what I needed for problem solving and future experimentation.

Aloha again from Honolulu, Another uber-useful video. Again, lots of great ideas to aid with my experimentation. Mahalo nui loa!

Aloha from Honolulu, I'm shooting white terns in rapidly changing conditions: white tern against brilliant blue sky, then birds flying into the tree canopy. Your videos have been super helpful re. what to experiment with to get fewer blurry (white terns move fast!) and dark (in the canopy) shots. Mahalo nui loa!

Top marks for the photos and lugging that lot around!

I sold mine a few years agor....i have 2 R6 mark II but I bought 1DX last month just to feel the pleasure again 😁😁😁

I love bird photography at his time of the year when all the migrants are about. i tend to find that many warblers are more approachable than our resident species, but like you say - patience is the key. If i get just ONE image out of a day, I am pleased.

I use the R7 with the 600 f11 and get tack sharp shots. I use the 800 f11 (stabilizer off) on tripod and also get tack sharp shots.

Yes. Yes you can. R7 + 500 F4 is mk 1 = healthy living !

Paul finally got here. after many years wanting to go Yes, the birds are great to photograph, but boy the amount of people far too much and this was on a weekday. Only lasted two hours before the crowds just got too much for me

Shout out to the courageous mini spider at 09:51

Great photos mate, i recently got my hands on the R6mk2 and love it, but I do have a severe hunting experience with the auto focus. Using a sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens and I'll get a second or w where it's sharp and then it will completely blur everything out and it takes a good few seconds to come back. Have you had this issue?

I Have a canon 100mm f2.8 and with my lens I find that even though I am close to the subject and have a low fstop still the background is not blurred like yours is. Is the something to do with the settings on the lense like infinity?

What would have been helpful.. when describing the clothing. Give links below, give better description what the material is made of. You were vague and not very helpful with the muck coat.

Hi Paul. Have you ever tried to attract warblers with sound? All these songbirds are very territorial and they don't accept any other male singing in their area. Playing sound of a different male even for a 2 - 5 seconds would probably cause the bird to change its place. When you find a good spot to photograph him within his territory you can move there and play sound to attract him. I'm not talking about harrasing birds with continous playback, just to be clear.

Enjoyed the video Paul and thanks for the tips. I find song bird photography very difficult, trying to get sharp photos is not easy but hoping to practice more. Thanks!

Good video. I am thinking of getting an L lens for shooting in the rainy days. This clip show how much fun it is. Thanks

Great video, Paul! I always enjoy your content! 👍

A real experience of how to photograph small birds. Everything you said was spot on and been there so many times. But when you do get the picture, just utter satisfaction. Well done Paul👍

I'v never taken a photo of a bird that's behind something. Just klean shots from the side and moustly a littel in front so all the speks of the bird is visible.

I'm going to give you a tip. You'd get a lot more looks if you ditched the bazooka and put the 100-500 with an extender on. Then you wouldn't need to haul furniture around with you to set it on.

Everything comes to he who waits ! Nice video Paul

because it was your first time- as you said, don't think your heart was really into it --- but the second Braken fiddlehead is awesome- and yes, it does take practise

Love Sedge Warblers Paul great video 👍
