Jan, just seeing you look so happy has made my day ☺ The photos & video clips you took are breathtaking!! You never cease to amaze with your work. It is said that passions don't have a reason, but since discovering bird photography, I find it such a privilege to be out in nature just observing birds in their natural habitat. If I can get a few good shots , I'm thrilled. But even if I come home without any photos, the sheer joy of being able to go out in nature is beyond compare. Thank you for another amazing video!

Hey Jan, great video as always! With the ISO at 16,000 and 20,000, are you still shooting in CRAW? Those shots look amazing!!

@jan_wegener

Жыл бұрын

Yes, mostly cRAW, although in these tough conditions RAW can have a slight benefit.

Sensational work Jan! Been waiting a while for this to come out. I’m a bit biased on the riflebird but have to say this has been the best episode. Absolutely stunning.

You deserve this feeling of happiness! 🤩 Thank you for your inspiration. I love taking photos in the rainforest, even if I rarely get the chance from Germany. Finding bright backgrounds in the rainforest is of course a challenge. The image effect is fantastic. I'll be in Costa Rica at the end of the year and will try to pay attention to such conditions.

Your coming back stronger than ever Jan ! 👍 So glad to see it 🙂 Funny you should ask, as a matter of fact, I was in a very "dark" forest yesterday, and taking shots that I really didn't expect a lot from... But was hoping they would process okay. To my surprise, they came out really nice ! Obviously I could have done better with better light, but for what I had to work with (oh, I was using my R5 + the RF 800 F11 !) It was actually pretty amazing I could get anything useable at all !

F11 is certainly tough in the forest, but what you can get out of high iso images with a bit of editing is amazing

You could film in 8k, but most frame would be blurry, unless you are using a much higher shutter speed and then the video may look funny.
