How to Attract and Photograph Birds in Your Own Backyard

[@cjstudios5170]

Great ideas for the stations. I have drilled holes into fence posts in my yard, and filled them with suet. This is a great way to attract woodpeckers.

[@martingranger40]

I enjoyed your video, and found it very helpful - thanks for taking the time to make it, as it's given me a number of ideas for my own backyard!

[@rajtoor7951]

love your last clip of hummingbird. wonderful !

[@Photoop100]

I really enjoyed your informative video! I tried bird feeders and Black Bear knocked them down for the bird seed. Your tutorial of how to build a feeding station in the yard is a blessing and rekindaled my interest of photographing birds in my backyard.Thanks.

[@gildenty]

Wonderfull, video, thanks for sharing.

[@johnjackson9601]

In Florida if I created a pond a gator would move in. Good video. Never thought of building a habitat.

[@dedekotler7654]

Thank you for sharing your techniques

[@joeneely301]

Great video, I was thinking of setting up a baiting area in a natural area and just visit there regularly with a blind.

[@TheFlowerpowerchef]

really awesome video .. this was actually shared to me by a friend of mine in Malaysia who is also a bird photographer .. I live in upstate Ny I have a decent sized back yard and I have a few birds that come .. I never thought to use a tent in my back yard I will have fun doing this type of DIY project in my back yard.. thank you so much for this video I'm sure I will watch it a few times :)

[@Aalsobiae]

Of course i don't need to go photograph birds if I have a yard like your backyard. So envy :)

[@semigod2]

Great video, thanks foe sharing!

[@xflyingtiger]

Thanks a lot for this video. Very inspiring, and you have given me some good ideas. I love it when someone posts a worthwhile video.

I use a Canon Powershot SX60HS. It was R5 600 plus R500 for the 32GB card. I designed a chest mounted camera carrier that I made from a baby carrier and it works like a dream. I can't tell I'm carrying a camera.

[@obroadieswimmer]

I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for posting.

[@leeedsonetwo]

really down to earth and interesting thanks for sharing.

[@VintageTexas59]

Great video and good ideas, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@basssman7]

very informative and well made video.

[@forsterl.stewart414]

Tele converters tend to soften images. But yes they will extend your reach. My favorite combo 7d mark ii paired with the canon 100mm-400mm mark ii without teleconverter. With the 1.6 crop factor it works perfect.

[@suecollins3246]

Switch your camera to Manual and close your aperture down as small as possible.

[@kcs3652]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@MrMichelrousselle]

Wonderful moments in your photography work, u can also publish in Youpic.

[@jackiehooks2294]

Loved your video.

[@DAllenMartinphotos]

Looks like you need to clean either your lens or your sensor. I've had that problem myself in the past, pain in the butt when finding spots on an otherwise really good shot in post. I see you have squirrels all over your feeding station too, something I've been struggling with. Does that tend to drive off the birds in your case?

[@DAllenMartinphotos]

@Callan Gus @Finn Denver So you post this stupidity and the pretend reply from your alt account, both 11 hours ago under a 6 yr old comment on a video completely unrelated to anything you're talking about... and expect what exactly from doing so? fucking moron....

[@nagrotte]

Great video!!! Thanks a lot...

[@ladybearbaiter]

This is what I do in New England.

[@gianromanigroup]

cool vid dude, nice tips and tricks. but what about cats? I have a nice backyard and feeder but some cats walking around, so I can't get stones and branches on ground, just on the only tree I have. Don't you have problems with cats? or are they been solved? thank you ciao from Italy

[@Voliereforum]

I'm pretty new to photography like this, but if I use a fast shutter, like you mention 1/600, I find it hard to keep a good exposuse. Do you have any tips for that? Thank for your video by the way, it's really inspiring!

[@AZTEC_ARTS2023]

Where did you get that blind ?

[@WildPhotoShooter]

I would dispute the comment that you can't walk more than 200yds with a 600mm f4. I have been out all day with my 600mm f4 on a fluid Vinten head on a Manfrotto and Ive walked for miles and Im 59 yrs old ....but I am reasonably fit. When you carry one of these lenses for a long time its like a gym work out and the more you lift it the stronger you get.

Hi, I have been shooting this peacock repeatedly and somehow it always comes out with motion blurr....how can I do this , whilst the bird has all its feathers on display and give its best sharpness. I have taken hundreds of photos and still havent found the right one that I want to use for my canvas print due to slight "focus problem"

[@ZaberAnsaryOfficial]

Nancy Pirrello Single AF Point, AI Servo or AF-C for Canon. Focus on the Eye, Use F8 Aperture, Shutter Speed around 1/1000 and ISO around 400 to 1000, Shoot in Contnious Shooting mode and in Raw. Then see if the results change.

[@vidigamer649]

11 hundred dollars is still very expensive

[@raisadigitalstudio7093]

1200 is inexpensive for rich photographers

[@lindafischer4639]

eleven hundred is $1,100....

[@russhawkins7419]

Please don't use red food coloring bad for birds and not needed. make your own sugar water 4 cups water to1 cup sugar.

[@rezkid283]

1100$ ???!!! I’d rather buy a $100 one

[@nancyPirrelloMusic]

i don't know how to use photoshop and also I don't believe that one should use it. If you want to show your skill it has to be natural

[@ozmid40scouple]

If your getting motion blur your either not using a fast enough shutter speed or you have camera shake! Use a mono pod or tripod and use a shutter speed at approximately double the length of your lens (i.e. if you are using a 300mm lens then 1/600 sec or more shutter speed if hand held or you may get away with a lightly slower shutter speed if using a monopod or tripod....its all trial and error) I use lightroom, it will do most photo post processing that most people will need, if you think that photos you see in magazines, books etc haven't had some form of lightroom or photoshop adjustment then you are sadly mistaken.

[@dovershark0492]

That's ok if your not shooting in raw, although you should be for much better results. Lots of other cheaper/free photo edit software. Look at filehippo.com
