Wildlife and Action Photography with the Sony 100 x 400 GM Lens

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this vlog I update my subscribers of the Covid -19 lockdown and how it has interrupted me getting out and capturing landscapes.
During my many weeks in lockdown I decided to take along my 100 x 400 GM lens on my daily walk and see what local wildlife I could photograph handheld.
The results were so good I decided to share my images in this video.

    Very nice lens that one Colin, you got some great shots mate. Keeping yourself busy is the way to go during this madness. I'm doing some landscaping out the front of my place, adding value to the house and getting fresh air, vitamin D and exercise at the same time. Feeling your pain mate re the lockdown. It can be degrading and you feel helpless, but the main thing is I just keep reminding myself there will be an end eventually.

    Was that a Nick Page video I saw? Great shots and to see North Shelly in a video blows my mind. I spent so much time in my youth surfing that brake and exploring those rocks, I bet there's at least half a dozen good compositions on those rocks as well as around the corner at Toowoon. Cheers Colin, you haven't converted me from my Canon RF 100-500 but you did give me some great nostalgia!

    Glad you enjoyed it Davo. North Shelly is a gem and that mossy green rock caught my eye for the future. I believe the Nick Page vid was "Into the Dark" I love anything he does. Yep I use my daughters Canon as well and love it. Cheers mate 👍

    Great video Colin! Can relate to all the struggles that comes with being in lockdown ( Melbourne here) but glad to see you got a beautiful area nearby to explore! The A7RIV & the 100-400mm GM is a killer combo! Love the action shot of the dog splashing around! Also the in flight shots of the pelican are stunning! Thorougly enjoyed the experience. Stay safe & strong & I’m sure You’ll be back to shooting landscapes soon!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Looking forward to following your journey. Subbed😉👍

    Really enjoyed this one mate! I’m curious about what iso you used for those dog photos. Anytime I try and shoot with a shutter speed of anything over 1/1000th, I tend to get highly underexposed shots unless I raise my iso substantially, even with good light. I Look forward to the next one! Cheers

    Hi Ethan, thank so much for watching and your kind feedback mate. The morning of the dog shot was extremely bright and I had an ISO 800. The Sony A7RIV seems to handle higher ISO. My main focus was to have them(dogs) sharp first and if I had a little noise due to the higher ISO fix it in post. It's always a trade off Sharp Pics - fast shutter but the higher ISO can create some other issues. All the best Col
