You would think your method was common sense but I never would have done it that way. Your method makes so much sense and after seeing your pictures I can see how well it works. Those really are wonderful pictures. Great video as always Scott.

Thank you Tamara, I hope all is well with you and glad you like the video. Have a lovely weekend.

You are a rarity Scott. Perhaps the only bird photographer that I’ve seen that really emphasizes the foreground aspect of the photo. Most typically have a bird on the substrate like a stick or a branch with a nice clean background. I’m gonna really give it a go next week. I am going to a rainforest lodge in north Queensland where they have feeders and I’m gonna try putting food on the ground and trying to get foreground blur. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have had my Canon 90d now for a few years and have always stayed away from Manual mode, worrying "how the heck am I going to have all three settings right (Aperture, Speed, ISO). I mostly use AV Aperture mode, some times with auto-ISO. For some reason I never realized that you can use auto-ISO also with Manual. The few braincells I have left all of a sudden came together in the middle of your video when you mentioned that combination. Thank you. I am looking forward to the results.

Hi Steve. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.

Great idea Scott, my only issue with using a public space would I would probably spend half my time talking to members of the public😂 One of the reasons I never shoot images of grey squirrels when I'm out and about in the wilds is that I know I could just drive to Rufford Park and have them eating out of my hand! A great way to get started👍

You’ll just have to make yourself look less approachable Scott. 😂 I know what you mean about people wanting to talk though. These public settings are really great though to get a lot of variety fast. It’s good for people who don’t have the luxury of time that you and I do.

Great tips👍

Hi Amit. Definitely. I love India and I spent six months there 18 years ago. I didn't make it up to Uttrakhand. But one day, I intend to return to India with my camera. Amazing landscapes, amazing birds and amazing food - what more could I want! Best wishes from the UK.

Just found your channel and you have so many good videos with great advice! I'm relatively new to nature photography and just got a Nikkor 70-300 mm 4-5.6 D lens and I'm wondering if you think it would fit bird photography (I use a Nikon D90 with an APS-C sensor). I'm on a tight budget so I can't really go for 500/600mm lenses sadly. Thank you!

@WalksOnTheWildSide

Жыл бұрын

Hi Laura. Absolutely! So with your APS-C it makes that 70-300mm the equivalent of a 105-450mm lens. So I would recommend starting with larger subjects first. If you practice your fieldcraft and are very patient you will also be able to get close enough to the small birds with that lens. It's also a great focal length for many of the larger mammals. The best lens is always the one you already have. It'll give you chance to practice and find out whether you want to save for another lens. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and thanks for watching.

Scott In manual I can't use auto iso on my camera I use a range of iso s from 200-1600 is that okay

@WalksOnTheWildSide

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Steven. I always use manual ISO myself, but that’s because I like to be in control of as much as possible in photography. I’ve never heard of a camera that doesn’t allow auto ISO in manual mode. But that range of ISOs sounds fine. The problem with ISO is that not all ISOs are created equally. 1600 on one camera may look great but on another it’s really noisey. At the end of the day though, it all really depends on how you process the image afterwards to get rid of the noise. I’m planning a video soon where I’ll cover everything to do with ISO and noise. Thanks for watching.

The logical solution is to do both.
