MY SETTINGS Nikon 180-600mm to get sharp photos. WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY II Bird photography
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
My settings for getting sharp photos with the Nikon 180-600mm lens.
Come along to my hideout and see when I shoot wildlife photography.
I always use autoiso and manual mode. In this way, the photos are always correctly exposed and I can quickly change the shutter speed with the front wheel. The rear wheel is then used for the aperture, which is not changed very often. All photography is individual but this is the best for me. Then I use exposure compensation to fine-tune when I have time. I've shot a lot with 3D tracking and it's worked well for me, but I've noticed that I get more photos in focus if I use the custom area with maximum selection. That is what I am trying to show in this film.
I have now rebuilt my hideout to accommodate my laptop to record from the camera's display. Previously, I had to detach the camera and move it to another lens. In the long run, it will probably be a serious recording thing, but it costs money.
Thank you for watching my channel and feel free to comment and write what you want to see in the future.

Thank you so much again Steve and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀
I discovered the channel sometime ago by accident almost as I was searching for bird photography. This is very high quality work. I don't recall any other photographer sharing such good quality pictures and videos. Yes, National Geographic has the best videos. But they are in a different category. Not an individual photographer. Very well done!

Thank you so much Debasis and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀. How lucky that you discovered my channel and it is very nice to receive such a nice comment. This gives me energy to develop. THANKS
I like when you said "Nature photographer" instead for the negstive connotation of "WILD life photography" used by the corporations!

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Yes, I love everything to do with nature, even if it's not always animals I film. 🙏🙏😀😀
Thank you for sharing all of this helpful information. I'm not too impressed with the sharpness of the zoom, although having a zoom especially in a hide/blind can be very useful for composition. Despite the shortcomings of the lens you have captured many wonderful images, you are a really excellent photographer and I'm really enjoying your channel here on KZread! Cheers from the UK.

Thank you so much for sharing your overall photo shooting settings, and although I am not a wildlife photographer it's still so valuable to learn from all. Great photos, wonderful land full of photo opportunities when one knows where to look. Many thanks. Regards, John

Thank you so much Jim and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 You have the right photos and the video is better in real life than on youtube.
Excelente vídeo y excelente objetivo, a buen seguro que tiene una calidad a la par con el sony 200-600. Yo personalmente estoy encantado con el y mi A9. Compañeros que lo tienen con la top de sony la A1 están muy contentos con el rendimiento. A disfrutarlo.

Merci Abel pour ton gentil commentaire. Oui, je pense que les performances des deux objectifs sont assez similaires. 😀😀🙏🙏
Having that bird eye at helps big time as well. Can’t believe it has not been released for the z8 yet.

Thank you so much for your comment. I think there will be a release in the next firmware upgrade and I think there will be up to 20 raw images in pre record on the Z9. That would be something!!

Hi Goran. Wonderful as usual and very informative and helpful. I will try without the 3D tracking and use C2 instead and see how I go. I notice that (for example at the 6:55 point) you seem to use a series of still images shot at 20 FPS. I am surprised at how smooth that looks in the video. I will try this also. Again, many thanks.

Hello - great presentation. I assume you are using the Z9 since the Z8 does not have the Bird eye detection yet.

beautiful sharp images. Some reviewers have found the lens soft at 600mm. I noticed all of your shots at 600mm were taken at F7.1. Did you find shots at F6.3 were a little soft?

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀 Yes, it's true that I think it loses a bit at 6.3, but if I go down to eg 570, it's not noticeable in my opinion. It is extremely little. almost just a feeling that it is so.
I would like to know which one is the Z camera, please! Thanks for sharing

Hello, what would you advise is the best af area mode on the nikon z6ii for birds? I shoot manual with auto iso as well and use the tamron 150-600mm g2 lens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Marieta, when I had Nikon Z6 II i use 3D tracking but that was two years ago. Maybee there are some new settings now?

@@Halmstadfoto yes I believe they might be with the firmware updates. The current options on the af area modes are single point, dynamic area, wide area af small, wide area af large, Wide-area AF (L‑people), Wide-area AF (L‑animals), Auto-area AF, Auto-area AF (people), Auto-area AF (animals). I think the last two are supposed to work like 3d tracking but I am not sure this would work for birds as the bird AF option is reserved for the z8 and z9 cameras only. I am still trying to figure out what does what as I only got the camera a couple of weeks ago and before that I was shooting with the D5500 which definitely was not meant to be used for wildlife photography.
Is the Z8 as good as the Z9 in AF and IQ? Thanks.

Hi, do you always shoot in Matrix metering?
