How I Used SETUPS to Capture STUNNING Shots Using the Canon R5 & RF100-500

[@ChrisMunro-en6nh]

Thanks for this clip, I was incredibly frustrated trying to get clean shots of red-rumped parrots/grass parrots. As you would be aware they seem to like the shadows whilst on the ground however when they get into the trees they often are obstructed by leaves and branches. After watching this I decided to have a wander around our farm and find a few dead branches I could use as perches. I have a small planting of sunflowers but I often lose the birds on the ground so I planted my perches and within about 30 minutes I had several birds using them. Needless to say the shots were exactly what I was chasing. Thanks again

[@cerealkiller4248]

I have a single acre 😂🤣😂, I live on the edge of our village backing into farmland and my garden species is ok. Our old house which is on the other side of our estate, had a garden approx 6m x 4m ( yes 20ft x 12 ft ) and had double the birds feeding on our feeders. The difference was mature trees which gave the birds somewhere to feel safe.

[@Duade]

Yes, the trees near the feeder are very important in giving them security, the same applies for water. Cheers, Duade

[@KurtisPape]

Yep, that photo of the Redcap robin made me smile😊 fact it's a setup does not take away from the image at all. 1 thing I've learn with setups is once you got photos of 1 species on the perch, change the perch before other birds come in. Otherwise you will have photos of a range of birds that all look the same and in a collection then it looks setup. My opinion with setups is they still take a lot of skill, you have to know the birds are even around to begin with and getting the birds to land where you want is task on its own. I do feel like with some birds you litterally have to do setups (birds that are deep in scrub like heathwrens for e.g.) but a lot of the time nature is more creative than I am so the birds will lead you to amazing compositions like nectar birds landing on amazing flowers or even I found robins will always land on perfect perches at eye level. Another thing with setups is to aim for a little more behaviour in the shots as you did in this video, even in bird hides. At gluepot bird hides I pretty quickly got photos of single birds on a perch, so quickly I knew I had to be a bit more creative, aiming for flight photos or multiple birds in 1 shot, Jan W did it with his mulga flight shots I think were in a hide.

[@Duade]

Kurtis, I couldn't agree more, it can be a real challenge to execute a setup and I am learning all the time. I agree that I have got plenty of lovely shots without setups, but sometimes I like just sitting in a hide waiting for the birds to come to me :-) Cheers, Duade

[@KurtisPape]

@@Duade your right, im still learning patience. When I go back to the start of the year I was just chasing around birds and having no success. The times I've been patient ive ended up with better shots, but I still struggle to hold myself back and I always end up chasing birds around haha

Hi Duade, Shaun from England here, just found your videos and wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. The set ups are perfect and have given me some ideas, quite jealous of the wonderful colours the birds are down under. Look forward to watching more. Thanks Shaun

Shaun, thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it, yes we are fortunate to have the birds we have. Good luck with your setups, Cheers, Duade

[@Feniche17]

This might be my favorite video you’ve made to date. The transparency is great, and IMO staging/styling does not diminish the image. Personally I nearly always go for an artistic angle (mostly in post) to my wildlife shots. I think there’s room for photographic “purists” and photographic “digital artists” as long as you are not misleading the audience; I feel you’ve referred to your techniques often and Ive always appreciated that.

[@Duade]

I really appreciate your comment and I agree with what you have said. Photography for me is a very personal endeavour and I take photos that I enjoy. Cheers, Duade

[@felicityrostron9406]

Thanks for explaining your techniques I have often wondered how bird photographers manage to get such great shots.

[@Duade]

Felicity, it is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade

[@AliasJimWirth]

This is an excellent explanation and disclosure. The methods make sense and, to me, so much is a question of personal philosophy. There are many camps and opinions. This is a fine video and I am glad I watched it.

[@Duade]

Thanks Jim, totally agree, I am glad that it helps people know how some shots are taken as we can get a little down when we see photos online and wonder how they did it. Cheers, Duade

[@JonElofson]

Lovely property! I can see why you enjoy being out there so much. Even if your luck doesn’t pan out on a given day, still nice to be out there.

[@marcnicque7619]

dear, its a real joy looking to so many nice birds you have in Australia. watching your videos feels like you can shoot within a few minutes plenty of birds. i think its not the case in my country Belgium. or I'm may not living in the right spot, i don't know. lok birds with water is also not possible as it usually rain a lot here. thanks for your nice video i'm going to look them all but still have to buy the right gear. i'm thinking a R6 with canon 100-500 lens.

[@MarcusFaulkner21]

Thank you Duade - I really enjoyed your video and technique. Particularly the way you built up the scene with the background, special rock, timber then local plants and foliage. The shots are magical in many ways and to be honest, it simply doesn’t matter that they are staged to any degree. The shots of the perfect wildlife are all that matters imho and if not staged, you may well not have got them. Love the natural way you speak to us and demonstrate what is possible to the non-professional. Btw, had the Sony A7Riv but swapped to the EOS R5 - more than enough pixels and better AF. Regards from UK

[@paulgibbings9553]

Thanks for the video, there is a bridge near to me on public land where people often feed the birds so they are used to people I can get close, and they are really isolated, however the images don't look great on concrete with bird food all around. I have tried on numerous occasions putting a branch or piece of wood down, but the birds just don't seem to want to land on it. There are trees to either side which the birds land in, but this gives a very messy background. Maybe I'll have to start looking around for a rock 😊.

[@Duade]

Paul, yes it can be a real challenge that is for sure, sometimes adding a perch to the tree can be an option, just make it extend out past the tree so it's somewhat isolated. Good luck, Cheers, Duade

[@tonyclark1504]

[@Marleydia]

Duane, thanks for sharing! I look forward to every video. Greetings from the USA, Ohio. I’ve been shooting for about a year, on weekends and whenever the weather allows it. I’ve got the R5 with the 100-500. I wanted a camera I could grow into. I’d love to see more videos on the settings you use and why. I’m getting a fair amount of good photos, but learning the settings and why to use them is ongoing! I also study the exposures you use, and try to determine how they are effecting the shot. I’m re-watching the older videos now, but something more specific to the R5 would be great. I love your style of teaching, and sharing the before and after raw files. I can’t thank you enough!

[@Duade]

That is great to hear and nice you find my videos helpful. I will be honest that I often don't use the most effective settings as I get caught up in taking the photos. I think the SS is the most important thing to keep an eye on as if it gets too low it will lead to motion blur which is an issue with moving subjects. It is always a balancing act between ISO and SS that is for sure. I will look at doing a video hopefully in the future. Cheers, Duade

[@woodygreen6826]

Maybe I'll finally set up something in my backyard next to the bird feeder. Your video gave me some interesting ideas for things to give a go. Lots of birds in our area feed on Sunflowers and thistle, by hanging around stands of those plants and looking for a good vantage point for backgrounds and light, I have been able to do a lot of what I guess you could call natural set ups. Your Robin with spread wings is certainly an amazing and beautiful shot. You have every right to be proud of that one! Good on you.

[@Duade]

Woody, sounds like you are having fun which is great, I too will often find the flower and wait for the bird to come, it is rewarding when they land and you get a shot. Cheers, Duade

Excellent video, I love that you enable new photographers to hopefully not get frustrated by shedding some light on these things. I setup my bird studio in my backyard a few years ago, even setup some reflectors to help with lighting on some days. I've started to like wildlife interaction or photos that relate to it's environment more lately but getting these close shots is really exciting especially as you mentioned if you have lesser gear or haven't done this. I actually got to where the birds came so close I was using my 90mm macro to photograph them. Had a few land on my lens even! Truly well done, you have and a real gem here on youtube.

Enjoyed your very practical video, have watched your videos before, the first being your interview of Jan Wegener. What I found amazing is your use of live bait, many countries including mine, South Africa, it is considered unethical to use live bait. I look forward to your comment.

[@Duade]

G'day Kirk, thanks for your comment and question. It is an interesting debate and I respect both sides. I have no issue feeding the birds the worms, I do it every now and again and the birds are not reliant on it. I have been feeding these same birds for 3 years and have not had any issues whatsoever. The worms are very similar to their natural prey and I breed and feed them to my chickens as well. Ultimately each photographer should do their own research and make an informed decision.

[@rreichar1]

When I started watching this I was initially thinking that I don’t really like Set Ups but then I realized that my entire backyard is a Set Up. I have feeders for Hummingbirds and seed feeders for other birds. We put out worms daily and have a fountain for the birds. I like to shoot other places but much of my bird photography is done there and that’s where I’ve gotten some of may favorite images. Great video with really nice images. I know you’ve reviewed the R5 in the past but I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it and the RF 100-500 and how the R5 compares with the R6 now that you’ve had it for a while. I am currently using an R6 with the Sigma 150-600. I’ve had the lens back ordered for a while and am thinking that the R5 is perfect for that lens. I think I will be less likely to miss the extra 100mm of the Sigma. I won’t miss the weight difference.

[@Duade]

Rod, the R5 is very similar to the R6 with the only real difference being the sensor, the 45mp is nice to have if you crop a lot. The RF100-500 is a very versatile lens but I do wish it went to 600mm as 500 can feel a little short at times on the FF camera. Good luck with your gear, Cheers, Duade

G’day Duade, many grateful thanks for your very deliberately honest explanation of how you do staged setup’s. To be honest i find it very difficult to do this, but i had minimal success using calls. However, as you have indicated i get bored looking at this perfect photography as it very rarely happens in normal circumstances. As you have quite correctly said, its digital art as it has been staged which i find to be over produced. Your productions are very well produced and your themes with comparisons are very interesting to all. You are indeed very lucky to have a BIG BACK YARD unlike very small my window box. When i do vist downunder i will make a point to get in touch if only to do some banter down your local hotel. Best regards to you and keep up your excellent informative vids. Phil Davson
