Treasure hunting! You nailed it. I don't use a tripod while birding. I handhold my 500 mm and use a quiet, sneaky demeanor. I use calls but very sparingly. If you hear the bird and know the call, it's always better. I enjoyed your video. I've been a birder in Florida for 6 years but just now learning photography. I bought the Nikon Zf. Thanks!

Hi Josh)) thanks for the tips. The radial filters tool is my favourite to 3d pop the photos. Sometimes in the images like you showed example on, I also apply stretched ray like radial filters pointing out of the bright spot corner of the image and overexpose them (normally under even angle to the center of the bright spot and 3 pcs). It will create clean, flair free, sunstar like rays, in some cases looks very magical and dreamy.

Agree. We are definitely cautious. The lazuli we visit seems to be a loner. Only one comes out. If we ever call in a bird and more than one make shows up, we stop. They get territorial. Raptors- no way! We live right by the birds of Pray Conservation area. So tons of raptors around here. We were hiking alongside a cliff once and a falcon started dive bombing us. It was terrifying. Their baby had fallen out of the nest. We did not know until we ran right past it. That falcon swooped so close I could feel the wind of his wings near my head. I was screaming and running and saw the little ball of fluff on the ground at my feet. It was sad. We would never intentionally upset a bird for sure. We love birds.

Mine has a dovetailed slot so I can set it up, down, or in between. Can you tell me why you use one over the other?

That gimbal head I use is not the traditional style. It’s the side mount version. The traditional model just wasn’t my favorite.

I appreciated your brief segment on bird calls. One of my birding mentors observed that bird calls are much like learning a language, and doing that becomes more difficult after about the age of 12. He was fortunate in that he began birding before that age and was, therefore, very good at ID-ing calls. I got a Samsung Android (finally) for one purpose: to use the Audubon and E-bird apps to play songs and calls TO the birds; is there an app which enables one to ID a bird by recording calls or songs and then playing them back to the app to ID it? That would be wonderful! I know they have such apps doing this with photos, but what about audio? I began birding when I was 66 so my ability to ID birds by calls and songs has always been atrocious! I find that even if I know a bird's call, that if I haven't heard it for a while and I hear it again I don't know it for a while until my little gray cells kick in and give me a result. I keep enjoying your videos as evidenced by the fact that I am a subscriber (and commentor - which is a mixed blessing for you, I know! LOL).

Nikon D850 shooter here not a fan of using auto ISO for stationary birds on a perch. I’m choosing the aperture, the shutter speed and the only setting left for exposure is the ISO and to many times the camera gets it wrong. The exception for me using auto ISO is birds in flight, then I go to it because light changes to fast especially early or late in the day or shade from trees or changing background. Other than the auto ISO I agree with all your points

I hung on to that full manual mentality for a long time. i switched to auto ISO about 2 years ago (birds only, fast moving never landscape or other genres) and I just got more shots. Now I do take control back in even light. especially low light. Typically I just EXP compensate up and down depending on how harsh the light is. I'm all over the place really. that's probably why I don't even trust my own advice sometimes. You get 5 guys in a room and you'll get 5 different ways. Plus it is all situational for me. I sure do love birds though. Thanks brother. 👍

I normally photograph landscapes but I also think it's nice to try to photograph birds and this weekend I tried to catch a woodpecker but since it is spring here now there is a lot of leaves on the trees and to get the woodpecker in the picture I had to photograph through the foliage which made the camera seek focus on the leaves all the time.

Good question. I use single point in AF-c mode. I find a spot to focus through the leaves. If needed, I will override the AF and manually focus to help the camera figure out what I'm looking for.

I agree with most of your advice, except two things: 1) If you shoot canon DO NOT use continuous autofocus. In canon terminology you are looking for servo autofocus. Continuous has the camera hunting no matter what. It is the equivalent to having the shutter or back button pressed all the time if the camera is on. Kills battery life. 2) The canon R6 has the same autofocus as the R5 for 600 more than a Z6... so it is not just the 5K+ cameras with the feature. Great video... cheers.

Yet I’m discovering that yes bird photography isn’t just hard for me it’s hard for most. Thank you. I get frustrated sometimes and disappointed other times. Yet I usually get that 1 or 2 photos if I’m lucky that make it all worth it. Literally out of 400 photos a whole session I can find 1 that makes me so thrilled to be doing this all over again. The auto iso part is spot on, the dynamic area or single point then aim for the eye, I do that. Of course what also makes other people’s videos valuable is the things we can take from their work and technique. That’s like a “the matrix download,” instead of “I know Kung fu”, “ I know birding”.
