OMG Steve, I purchased your 531 page BIF Ebook and I'm only on page 168 so far and seriously... I'm struggling to put it down, or rather I never want it to end. It feels like you know me and have personally written it just for me. It's absolutely fantastic and for anyone thinking about "should I get it" stop thinking and just go on faith. I know this video is also excellent, but firstly there's so much more great content in the book and secondly, reading rather than watching and listening to someone else, just helps you retain information so much easier. Steve, I've got an R6 MKII and your info has got light bulb moments going off for me everywhere. I just had to pause reading and let you know how priceless your book is and tomorrow is going to be the best photography day for me since starting about 7 months ago and I'm seriously excited about putting what I've learnt from you into practice, so thanks millions 👍

Thanks for the kind words :) The BIF book is one of my favorites and I had a great time writing it.

Not a moment wasted, not a word extra, this is just pure gold😂😂😂

You can take 54 minutes to watch this three times over and take it all in. Or you can watch an hour of other folks' videos on this subject and learn half as much. Your choice.

Seriously, this is by far the highest content-to-fluff ratio of any photo tips video this newbie has seen. Other ones are well-intending and the advice (when they get to it) is good, but Jesus get to the point before repeating yourselves 5 times!

Right on target. Without a doubt the best video I have ever seen! I'm gonna watch it taking written notes, with my Nikon 850 sitting right there, lol. The learning never stops

Once again, I knew everything about a subject... then Steve Perry adds so much great tip info about a subject that I feel reborn.

Thanks Steve you're a font of knowledge and your sharing of it is much appreciated by so many!

with the books, these videos are a must watch. Excellent! Thanks Steve.

Another great video, Steve. Not only great for beginners but great reminders for those of us that have been shooting awhile. Thanks

Nicely done Steve - a good review for more experienced shooters and rock-solid advice for newer shooters.

Thanks Steve. Great tips, even for those of us that have been shooting BIFs for a few years!

Huge amount of brilliant advice as ever Steve. Even those of us who have been doing this a good while need to listen here, makes you realise where there is room for improvement! Thanks for a great channel.

This is the video I have always been waiting for. Every time I watch your reviews or videos I feel, man! I wish I could take such beautiful photos, these tips will go a long way in my bird photography. Thanks.

That's a lot of info! Thanks for the fast-paced and informative guidelines...It's stuff I often wonder about, since birds in flight are challenging.

Awesome advice as always, thanks Steve! Just got to practice, practice and practice.

Even as long as I've been shooting I always learn something new from your videos. You're a great educator! Thank you.

Another fantastic video from Steve. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Steve...I am constantly amazed at how you can simplify the complex for us mere mortals, while still inspiring us with your amazing images as examples.

Hello Steve. congratulations and thanks for the quality of the knowledge shared. Best regards

Thank you, Steve. Your videos are excellent. Packed with information in a short, simple and easy to follow tutorial.

Great video thanks. Just got my Nikon this year, so still learning. You answered the issues I've been having with focus. Also loved the 'if they look like they're about to take off stay looking in the view finder', missed lots of take offs as I looked away. Off to watch the rest of your videos.

the BEST REAL Guide/Mentor on youtube.... !!!

Steve - another great video! I have learned quite a lot and appreciate what you do. Your concise, yet informative and easy to understand way of articulating concepts for wildlife photography enthusiasts make them must see viewing. In my opinion they are the best out there. I am a Nikon shooter which makes them doubly relevant for me and will buying your e-books as well.

Fantastic Video Steve... Appreciated sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Compulsory for all bird photographers, both newbies and for those with experience. Great images. Core knowledge explained in an understandable way.

I have watched 3 of your videos now and really like them -- I especially like that you get right to the point of it.

The tips are of great value and the best one is "practice..practice...practice".

Your videos are amazing! You pack so much useful, honest and relevant stuff into it that someone can watch it several times. It's really a dedicated and professional work you are providing here for free. I also start to get interested in your books. You are an awesome teacher!

Well done! Thank you for such a fantastic overview. This was really well produced and you covered many excellent points and obstacles that all bird photographers will run into in the field, as well as post-field in our portfolios. Hats off to you, sir!

Using your tip to shoot in manual and auto ISO has made a significant difference in my keeper rate. I use it a lot. Thanks!

Great video as always!!! I have all of yours ebooks and the Noise Reduction Video Workshop, and I really love all of them!!! Thank you for give us fantastic (and funny) information!

Excellent crash course from which I have learned much. Thanks Steve. Take care and stay safe.

What a super helpful video. Full of practical tips and suggestions. Thanks Steve for this beautiful content.🙏

I'am not a bird shooter but I've always marveled and have been in awe of good bird action photography. This was an excellent explanation on how to shoot this type of photography.

Great advices as usual! Thanks Steve!

Fantastic summary. The most effective and efficient 18 minutes I have spent in a long time.

Many thanks for this training I learnt so many new techniques presented with good speed clear instructions and with examples, congratulations

Fantastic refresher Steve love it. Every time I watch your videos or just listen to you I learn something new every time. Tremendous source of knowledge and information on everything from gear to technique, Steve thank you so much. One positive thing about lockdown I get to go back over your stuff and love it.

Thank you for always providing great advice and tips for free!

Steve, excellent techniques and really clear practical advise. The results you displayed are inspiring. Greatly appreciated. Thanks

Incredible video. Tons of usefull info and great tips. Thanks Steve, you're awesome! Greetings from Patagonia 🇨🇱

Excellent video full of valuable information. Knocked it out of the park again Steve! Thank You!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Steve, thanks for your useful hints, will practise along for sure.

Steve, your videos are absolutely the best! I can't get enough of them - in fact, I find myself re-watching many. Thanks for all you do!

Great video Steve, this has given me some amazing tips to get started with birds in flight shooting!

Great video Steve. Love the animations to explain the principles.

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable techniques and knowledge in an objective and didactic way. A hug from Brazil.

I've never-ever shot a bird! - But this video (as many many others from Steve) kept me glued to the screen - and I learned a lot! Your videos are just pure gold! So very well - straight to the point and a ton of inspiration :)

You are an incredible photographer, AND an excellent teacher. I love your videos. Thanks!

Great video Steve! This is one of the best videos I have watched for BIF tips.

Thanks, Steve. Great info, as always.

I have been shooting for many years, your videos are always spot on! Your ability to explain things is remarkable. Great work, I appreciate it.

Wow excellent advice I can start using this afternoon. Thank you much.

One of the better educators on the Tube. You make sense, and you don’t assume that the listener knows a lot. Clear, and very well presented articles Well worth the subscribe button!!

Another great video Steve. You pack so much great useable information into your videos. Thanks!

This is truly a fantastic overview! I've learnt a lot of this by watching loads of videos, trying things out with my camera and scratching my head. The fact that you've distilled so much into one video is very generous. Thanks for sharing!

Steve! I was just in Scotland and by following not just this video but your Sony camera settings ebook I had such a great time and way more keepers than I would usually had. I found myself using manual mode and all the custom button settings as recommended by you almost intuitively. Thank you so much!

Outstanding video as usual, thanks for helping.

Great video, great tips..thanks for that really helpful..

Steve, excellent information and artful images. Three thumbs up! Thank you!

Amazing expertise in a simple manner in a small video. Gr8. Thank you

Excellent video and clear instruction. Thank you Steve!

Excellent instructional video Steve. Lots of valuable tips well packaged and articulated in a less than 20 minute lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise and experience with the rest of us weekend photographers. Much appreciated.

Thank you, Mr. Perry. Fascinating video!

Breathless photographer, in awe.

Very helpfull. The man is a proffesional and knows how to explain in simple way and words. Bravo

Some of these tips are invaluable. Thanks a lot!

Another outstanding video Steve, thank you. And for those who don't have his eBooks, get them, worth every penny!!! I learned more than I ever thought possible about my how Nikon really works....and my pictures definitely showed improvement......very well done books...

This video was absolutely fantastic, really, so helpful and clearly explained and great that you don't make it system specific, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom !

Best Presentation. Extremely helpful

Steve, you are simply the best ! Own a D500 + Nikor 200-500mm and tooke plus 40k shots. However still learning from you. Thank you.

Brilliant Steve - good stuff on something which is done so many times - this is on top! It's good to get the sanity check on things - I'm trying all this but there is normally something forgotton, thank you

This was so packed full of great information and advice! Also, a great reminder to go back and read the books you’ve written - I bought them and am so excited to spend some time learning from you! Thanks for creating so many resources for new wildlife photographers to learn from!

Great info ty, ( having both eyes open as you look through the eyepiece really helps, it might be a wee bit tricky to get the hang of at first but it's worth it.

to the point.. crisp..down to earth video that even a layman can grab... thanks a lot..

Wonderful stuff - you managed to cram so much valuable stuff into about 20 mins, I am both very impressed and very grateful!

Great info and presentation. Thank you Steve.

Looking forward to buying that third ebook. Great work.

As always, great tips. thank you.

You are so consistent in your knowledge! Love your videos, Sensei!

I just found your channel this week. Its been a real help. Bought a Sigma 60-600 for my Nikon Z50. I was hoping to shoot full auto for a while until comfortable with form factor. Not the case. So here I am learning from this channel. Its the only channel that is helpful so far. Thank you for your efforts and quality!

Manual with auto ISO is my goto even for performance stage lighting. The light can change dramatically in a moment. I add highlight protection, and I can just concentrate on a good shot and not worry about technology.

Thank you for this video. It's answered a lot of questions I have about birds in flight. I'm just getting started, after retiring almost 2 years ago. I bought a brand new D7200 about a year and half ago to learn basics on before moving up. And your channel and several others have been extremely helpful! Keep up the great work! P.S. I have this bookmarked so I can find it quick for future reference, which I'll surely need.

Outstanding! Thank you!

this is one of the best 'how to' videos out there. you should have a million subscribers.

Excellent video full of tips learned over a lifetime. I own all of Steve's eBooks and highly recommend them. He is both a great wildlife photographer and a great teacher.

Great tips as always Steve, thanks so much mate.

Brilliant and informative. Thank You

Excellent informative video. Thankyou for posting it

Helpful tips, thanks much Steve! Really liking the Wimberley Monogimbal + Gitzo 4552L combination too, your advice on both was spot-on.

I can’t believe how people like Steve spend hours to make such useful and educative videos that are so much useful to beginners like me. I bought NikonD7500 about 2 years ago based on recommendation from one of Steve’s video. Since that day I’m in love with Photography. Thank you Steve!

Hi Steve, just wanted to say thanks for your video. I tried out some of your recommendations and definitely improved my shots just in one outing. Thanks again.

Really great introduction, thanks a lot.

Excellent, Steve! Thank you.

Awesome tips. Thank you for sharing.

Great in Steve! Thanks for sharing!!
