Big slow birds are easy, Try getting a sharp photo of a tree swift in flight.
@RayHennessy 6 күн бұрын
Agreed, that’s part of the reason I chose these for the lesson as it’s probably an easier subject for those learning.

What a pretty little bird! I recently sat on my back porch and watched a little goldfinch each dandelion seeds off the ones growing in my yard. It ate for about ten minutes! I loved watching it! It was so pretty!

Do the birds fly off after the shot because of the flash?
@RayHennessy 18 күн бұрын
Not in my experience. It's a bright sunny day so the flash is barely registered to them.

Yes, I think this was before the Z9 had specific bird eye tracking but it had animal eye which included bird tracking. That made the compositions much easier!

'Not target migrating species'..... that is my problem right now and I find it demoralizing when I know I am ignoring birds because it's not the one on my list...and I know I need to stop the 'birding' and get back to the photography. I got to spend time with Louisiana Waterthrush this past February in Cuba since we have none up here in Eastern Ontario. They are a wonderful species to photograph but I didn't get anything close to the quality of your images.

Yeah, that's a tough thing to let go of all those wonderful migratory birds but damn they are tough! Thanks for watching and for the kind words about my photos. I'm glad you got some time with the Louisiana Waterthrush, they are a fun bird!

i feel like the d810 was when (36mp) was when this became apparent , more obvious w 45 , having said if a more extreme crop is needed the tc will help a bit to keep final image high enough mp ( at least 12 -20 ish)

Just got back from Moab. Such an awesome place. Town is a bit to busy for me. First night we stayed about 23 miles out of town not to many birds. Great landscape with full moon. Other 2 nights was off the river with lots of birds. Will go back and stay longer next time.

Oh nice, glad you enjoyed the area as well! We loved staying around there, we stayed just outside of town in some boon docking area which was really nice.

Was that a Savannah sparrow?
@RayHennessy Ай бұрын
I'm pretty sure I figured out it was a Vesper Sparrow.
@LisaSaffell Ай бұрын
Ah, yes! I get those two confused
@jackstutts6439 Ай бұрын
Why aperture priority instead of manual with auto ISO? Also, what species were the sparrows?
@RayHennessy Ай бұрын
Pretty sure they were Vesper Sparrow and I shoot aperture priority with auto ISO so I can ignore the shutter speed. I set a minimum shutter speed of usually 1/500 and the camera doesn't go below that but will go higher. I find it far easier than dealing with shutter speed and exposure compensation when shooting auto ISO so I tend to do that. When I shoot manual exposure mode I turn off auto ISO almost all the time.

One of my shots of a great blue heron won a gallery award during this same time period. As the sun came up the smoke turned the sky blood red. The pond where I was shooting picked up some of that red reflection and I caught the GBH standing on a log in the water preening. It made a good composition that the juror liked and I got an award. So, something good for me came out of all that smoke. Other than that it didn't help my COPD a bit.

Ray great photo shoot on edits the second one which is my favorite the only thing I would have done is crop a few inches off the bottom the white water is a little to much does not add to the photo in the bottom. Great job with the motion it must have been a fun day I need to ask how many times were you saying on the golden eye (I wish you were a drake) I would have been muttering under in my mind wish you were a drake. Eric Hansen great job

Nice video. Shame you didn't have a drop in ND. I feel like I should pick up a ND and polarizers constantly in my bag so I don't feel sorry for myself in moments like these. Especially when shooting shore birds or by the water. I get how you feel about mallards, lol. I think as wildlife photographers we should not dismiss common species. They are really great tools for learning techniques also while everyone thinks that they are common and seen everywhere its funny that it actually turns out that very few photographers actually photograph them. It's rare to see a good picture of common species like sparrows, mallards or even common mergansers.
@RayHennessy Ай бұрын
I'm 100% with you on not dismissing common species but when you have Goldeneye and Mergansers in the same river it's hard to point the lens at Mallards. As for the ND filter, I have never used one but I wonder how much they would slow down AF for birds moving around like this. I've always assumed it would slow down the AF too much. The few times I've used an ND filter with landscapes it's made things tough for AF. Although that was with dSLRs not mirrorless.
@icaanul Ай бұрын
The gels would help the light blend so it doesn't look so obvious.
@RayHennessy Ай бұрын
Agreed the gels would help the light color blend in but that direct on-camera flash for birds/wildlife always has a look that doesn't particularly appeal to me. Getting it off camera would help out but then you are talking a lot of things to pay attention to when just the birds are enough usually!

@@RayHennessy Thanks Ray, I would love to be able to sit in the middle of the redwoods and edit - non photographers reviewing the AVP have no idea how liberating this aspect is for us. I totally connected with your video when I saw it and was like "YES! He gets it!!" I bought one recently from someone that barely used it, so I can't wait to receive it. Would love to see an update from you since the AVP has been updated - it seems like the foveated rendering specifically has been improved when working on the laptop...
