Day 1 Of Being a Wildlife Photographer

[@wuidzeit_simon]

I liked it so much and then the date on the wildlife cam threw me off quite a bit / pulled me out of the journey.

[@CharliePayne1]

I’m so glad you enjoyed, I didn’t set the date and time on the wildlife camera before setting it up, it was the first time using one and I didn’t realise you had to set the date and time. I promise I didn’t time travel to 2022 🦡

@@CharliePayne1 We all learn from our mistakes, trail cams also like to reset the date if you replace the batteries so be ready for that one.

damn, you went all out on that kit. I am not a fan of tripods but 100% of my work is stills which may be the difference between us but it may not hurt to look up the Waka Rapids camera sling, its a $25 sling, and you connect it to your lens foot and the weight of your camera is now on your shoulder and chest area rather than in 1 hand with an extra 10 pounds. Another you can add to your list if you ever go to a rocky location and there aren't many comfortable locations to sit is a hunting cushion, strap it to your wast and it hangs over your butt, you will look goofy but who cares, sit and instant comfort.

[@CharliePayne1]

I appreciate your suggestions, i'm definitely going to look into these! It's great to have viewers like you who share valuable tips to enhance the experience when out in the field, the cushion actually sounds great. Thanks David!

@@CharliePayne1 no problem, hope to see more wildlife content, it's my favorite thing on photography so I hope to see you grow.

Nice project but start learning the names of the birds. You didn´t see a crow but you saw a raven (big difference) and these were not seagulls. By learning this, you´ll know what is rare and what is not

[@CharliePayne1]

I have definitely been learning since this video was published, hopefully soon I’ll know them all! thanks for the comment

Red bird in tree is a linnet and then the other one you thought was the same is a white throat

[@CharliePayne1]

Thank you Liam that was super helpful!

[@obscurelines]

[@CharliePayne1]

Very entertaining - bordering on bonkers - what a day. Nice heads-up on those boots, too. All the best from a cabin in a swamp in a rainforest in New Zealand. Cheers.
