I enjoyed your presentation and your well informed on the subject matter. I haven't shot since June of 2022 but when I did shoot, I used a Nikon D5200 in shutter priority at around ISO 800 maybe up to 1600 because my right handshakes and I wear glasses as well which I would use the diopter adjustment to about 2 + to about 2 1/2+. I've been looking for someone om KZbin and this reminded me of things I forgot oh ya, I'm 70 yrs different from when I started with my mom's Kodak Browne

Very happy you had this experience! Thank you for sharing it with the world 🌎

Amazing

Great story telling Simon, what an incredible experience.

Thanks Simon. I learned a lot from this video!!

Outstanding explanation. Very professional.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and for sharing your BTS! Really appreciate it! Any thoughts on selling stock photos and videos? Do you do that? If so, where do you fit it into your workflow? Thanks again!

is lightroom classic better than the new one ?

very nice pictures

Beautiful...no other words needed 💖

On my bucket list too, so envious! Great video.

Thanks for sharing! Amazing video!

My wife and I have just returned from Alaska. We enjoyed Denali very much….but it can’t compare to your trip, Simon. Excellent photos. Once in a lifetime. Well done!

Simon, what's your favorite 3 cameras .... please do a video this will be helpful to many Of us still making decisions on camera buy used new ect ...please I appreciate you.. Roy j

Thank you Simon for sharing with us the views and feelings of this amazing trip ! Cheers from Lisbon .

Very happy for you, Simon! 🎉 Incredible photos and footage - thanks for sharing.

Pierre, you are the best. I learn more practical knowledge from your videos than all the photography books I have read so far. I am just starting photography as a retirement hobby. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these fantastic videos.

Hi thanks so much for showing your lifetime experience with me as it is something I would love to do but finances won't let me. The excitement on your face says it all. Wildlife is fantastic and very precious. So good for mental health to.

I wanna toss out the walmart brand tripod ONN , is pretty solid for 29 dollars. When good ones are easy 150 and up you can break a 29 dollar one and feel ok about it.

Master class Thank you

For me every setting has it's purpose. I am fast as light changing all settings which gives me total control over every aspect achieving the picture I took in my mind before I press the release button. That's why I call myself a pro.

Spot metering in concerts at night rules.

Thank you!!

Thank you for this tutorial and for all your videos, they are excellent. I absolutely love your photos. Kudos to you!

You are literally the best youtube photographer out there!! I love your videos and I am improving so fast watching YOU! My profile pic of this Osprey was an accident shot. Saw what I thought was a gull flying way over my head and our two story home. No way did I think my Nikon 70mm to 300mm zoom lens could get that shot! I panned with the birds flight and got outstanding results for what I thought it would be! No I could not focus without help because it was max zoom beyond that len's capability and I didn't even know it was an Osprey! Its sharp enough even when cropped.

Amazing! Superb Photography and as usual informative video. 👍🏻

I've used the best Olympus cameras, Fujifilm ect...there is nothing better to me than Canon full frame cameras. The 5d mk iv and the r5 just cant be beat

waal ruhs 🙂

In concerts i use point exposure instead of matrix and expise for the lighthed area. Minimum shutter is 1 over 60 or 80. Iso i try to keep under 800 if i can.

Outstanding video and photos Simon, we are heading on cruise around Svalbard in about 5 weeks and hoping to see these and other wonderful creatures. I am wondering if you can tell us approximately how close you came to the animals and the focal length of the photos you took. I recently purchased the canon R10 and the sigma 150-600 lens. Thanks

NICE!😃

There is a penalty a high shutter speeds. If shooting from a moving train at say 1 over 8000 it will make straight posts appear bent in the photo. I learned that the hard way.

This is a quality video and I so glad youtube recommended it! A great explanation on the principles but also encourages everyone to experiment and understand their camera and shot. As am amateur this was great!

On my a7r2 i cannot go over 6400. It just cannot be done without looking like mush. At night is expose for the subject and do not care that the rest in underexposed. I also limit my iso to 800 and set shutter to about 1 over 60 if shooting handheld.

Your absolute best KZbin vid ever!! Wow

What came first the Noise or the ISO

Great video! Beautiful footage! I really liked the atmosphere-setting content. Showing where Svalbard was, how the sun doesn't set, and all your descriptions of the area and wildlife. It gives me so much more context towards appreciating all the things you got to see.

Incredible!

My favorite photographer, awesome video ! Im living in Norway I hope i will visit Svalbard one day

You made a 43 year old guy tear up, Simon. Mission accomplished. Thanks so much for letting us tag along!

this is good info, I'll try shooting on ISO-priority & learn what it feels like to shoot on specific ISO levels (also, what the camera sets the aperture & shutter speed to).

Watching this is inspiring me soo much and it calms me down and makes me want to go out and photograph myself!!!

Best LEsseon i heared in weeks! Thank you for this incredible content

Your videos are a master class! Thank you so much!

Amazing! I am really happy for you 😊. Greetings from Oslo.

Incredible video, as always. Your music choice with the video / photo of the polar bears was super powerful, what a great way to start my day. Thanks for sharing and connecting us with such incredible nature and creatures.

One of those videos that makes me smile all the time while watching it :) The pictures of the arctic foxes are amazing.

Great phots on the opening. I'm just starting out (at age 70!), so find your info very helpful.

Marvelous ❤

Thank you for your video, very easy to understand answering many of my questions. I have a canon R50, currently I have the 50mm, & ER-EOS R mount adapter. Will I be loosing quality using EF lenses? Can I also use a EFS lens with this mount? Quality of EFS lens? I'm looking for a telephoto lens, (on a budget). Does the multiple of 1.6 work for all used lenses in my search for secondhand EF & RF lenses?
