Great channel and content!.. I’m in the market to upgrade from my Canon 5D to the R6 but have seen a lot of reviews highlighting autofocus issues with the Sigma 150-600 C (canon fit) have you experienced this with your ef lenses with the canon rf to ef adaptor?.. Thanks and keep up the great content..

Very refreshing to know that I'm not the only one who has "off days". Thankyou for all your content this year, have a happy new year and will see you in 2025.

I enjoyed watching the video and really appreciated the sincerity. And that applies to many other videos that you make. Thanks so much!

Great to show your ups and downs mate. All the best for the new year.

Enjoy all your videos Paul,very down to earth and honest. On the bird front I don't think it's just you,I've found it alot quieter this year for some reason too. Best wishes for 2025📷👍

Nice one Paul different but enjoyable keep up all the hard work this year and all the best for the New year 👌👏👏

Loved the grouse shots. ❤ Enjoyable video with voice over ❤. Everywhere has been so wet and muddy this year but you did well. 😊😊😊😊😊

As always it's good to see things can often not meet our expectations, but we need to keep trying

Great 2024 finale tube Paul. Keep em coming next year & all the very best for 2025!

Good video Paul and useful. The light has been awful these last few weeks now and hardly been out with camera, hopefully it is better this weekend as otherwise slow shutter speeds and panning shots will be the order of the day

Nice one Paul happy new year 👍🏻👍🏻

very good, bad and ugly. Loved it.

And to you Paul Currently 5ST down and walking g better I'll have those workshops yet!!!

Did I see you at old moor other day?

Really loved this one. Always good to see that I'm not the only one struggling from time to time 🙂.

Iv enjoyed this too also it’s weird what videos do to your mind to make it very creative

get a battery grip !!!!!!!!!!

Hey I’m filming a music video in February yaaa

The fern was shaped like a heart

I like the voice overs

Merry Christmas to you, thanks for sharing your videos and images through out the year.

Nice one Paul. You should do one like this every year. Really enjoyed it 👏

Loved it mate great video 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Nature Photographers certainly have their ups and Downs but thanks for your Positivity throughout 2024 best wishes to you Paul for the new Year 👍

I could have done with this today. I always get confused with exposure compensation. I was walking in a country lane today in Poland, I stopped in front a small old tree to take a pee, and something right infront my eye jumped really fast😮 I grabbed my camera and spent the next two minutes taking what I thought to be great pictures of a Tree creeper. I was wrong, they weren't great pictures, there was a blanket white sky and I now have at least 20 great silhouette pictures of a tree creeper🐦🤦‍♂️

I am a handicapped person so i struggle to walk. I mostly do my photography from my car. I have always thought I am not getting great photos due to the mobility issues. This vlog is really helpful and gives me a bit of confidence. thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Paul. Well explained, as always. Merry Xmas🙂

I love your videos Paul. Thank you so much!

I’m blown away by how beautifully you’ve captured winter’s essence in this video. The landscapes are breathtaking, and the wildlife moments are so captivating-well done! As a fellow nature enthusiast, I’ve also been working on wildlife and nature photography videos. Feel free to stop by my channel if you’d like to explore more wildlife moments. Let’s keep celebrating the beauty of nature together!

You did a great job explaining exposure compensation Paul. I shoot in manual mode so now I know to adjust my ISO for exposure compensation. Thanks pal. 👍

Thanks Paul - really useful advice. So did I understand correctly, I don't need to use EC when shooting in full manual mode?

11:50 CHANGE BATTERY Paul! :) (I am fellow R10 wildlife photographer from Poland and this red icon is the most dreaded symbol when outside!)

Thanks for posting this, Paul. Hugely helpful information, and very well-explained!

A good explanation of exposure compensation. Some DSLRs do show the histogram in live view. My Nikon D850 does this.

Hi Paul. I have a situation where I have been asked to photograph fledging Barn Owls by a local farmer this coming Spring. The box is in quite a confined/dark part of the barn. I have thought of three possible options. One would be to go in and use available light and just get the shutter speed as low as possible, another would be to introduce a directional fill light of some kind, some sort of daylight soft box, does that make sense? The other and the one I am not so keen on is flash, i was thinking maybe I could try muting the flash somehow, but still don't like the idea of it, plus more trial and error with exposing the images properly with flash, and having to reduce red eye in post. Would love to know your thoughts, thank you!

Really well done!! Yes, I use EC all the time! Great examples too!!!

Thank you for this video. Still using my dslr and it's work having to adjust exposure compensation. And I am definitely one who forgets to turn it back to zero!!

Great video, I am nearly doing it right. I just need to get into the habit of re setting to 0. I hope no diplodocus were injured in the making of this film

Very informative video, Paul. Thank you for answering my question.

Really good information video Paul ! Keep them coming 👏👏

Brilliant you actually made a tutorial on it after I asked .. what a bloke 💯 top man Paul thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Definitely need to test out exposure meter options. Since I can't hide in our backyard, my camera is frequently aimed at birds in the sky with +1 comepnsation. An aside-You never know when you need a plushie in tree photo. Have to admit when I was making an alphabet book for my nephew with my nature photos, I stuck a unicorn in our flowering peach tree for U. It turned out much better than my cheat quartz and x-ray images lol.

As usual Paul very good do u a a utube video on metering please.

Really informative, I’ve just started using myR6 so this is really useful.

And another great informative video Paul. Your advice is always the one that I go to, when I need help with my wildlife photography. I use exposure compensation quite a bit now, and as you say, practice is important to understand it. Keep up the good work mate.

Hi Paul I have been mainly shooting in FV mode on my R6MKII with Auto ISO and Auto Aperture set, then using the shutter speed manually. With this setting I can still use exposure compensation to brighten or darken the image when needed. I used to shoot on M with Auto ISO and then manually control the Aperture and Shutter speed plus the exposure compensation if required. Great tutorial Paul, back to basics 👍 I quite often have to stop and think plus or minus which is darker and which is lighter 😂 I think it must be an age thing 😁 ATB Andy

Learnt A Lot From Your Videos Paul Over The Years Keep Them Coming

Great video Paul an important dial to use . Exposure peaking/Zebras is a good setting to use so you can see in the Viewfinder when your whites start blinking 👍

Good video Paul, I have my histogram in the viewfinder and that tells me if I need any compensation. Normally shoot manual with auto iso.

I typically shoot my bird photos with -2/3rds exposure compensation to protect the highlites and adjust as needed from there.
