How To Improve Your Self Take Catch Shots | Day or Night | Carp Fishing Photography Tips

[@TrakkerTV]

Correction: A slip of the tongue by Alex. The shutter speed for night shots should be 1/160 (as you can see on the camera), not 1/60. Really glad that you all find the video useful and thanks for the comments!

Since buying my 1st DSLR last year I've watched so many vids to help my self takes, this is by far one of the best I've seen! In just a few minutes during the camera settings section I learnt way more than I have in dozens of hours online!!

[@TrakkerTV]

Brilliant news. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adampalmer14]

Used my phone for years and decided to go for a camera to get better shots as a complete novice with a camera this video has taught me a lot very clear and well explained

[@TrakkerTV]

We are glad you liked it.

[@TheMathyzz]

Finally a simple well explained video easy to understand! Thanks

[@flippflopps4026]

Amazing video, so helpful ! Going to try this out tomorrow with my new Canon R7

[@carp-angler]

This is a great video. I enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised I am not the only one with multiple cameras.. can you do another video for doing VLOGS? Would be nice what you guys do for filming, as many of us do that too.. 🤔

[@mikewaller4141]

Vlogs video is a good idea.

[@paulwhite9754]

great vlog found that very well presented for even me to understand and hopefully take some great shorts thanks very much.

[@TrakkerTV]

No problem at all Paul. Glad you found it useful :)

[@RDFISHING]

Really useful video Alex I will definitely be using these tips next time I’m out on the bank

[@TrakkerTV]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful buddy. Alex

[@russbedford1]

Great work Alex really well put together video.

[@TrakkerTV]

Thank you Russ. I’ve been meaning to make one for ages so it was great to get round to doing one. Will hopefully be really handy for a few people

[@russbedford1]

@@TrakkerTV I thought Id do one but its sat as a idea, yours has done me a massive favour 😝 Ill be sharing it so sorry for the influx of messages 🤣🙈

[@mikewaller4141]

Great video and I found it really helpful! Thanks for producing/sharing.

[@TrakkerTV]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@carpergolfergaz29]

Great watch I've got a cannon 750D which I always leave at home cus I use my phone but after watching this video it's giving me the confidence to get it back out as you made it look simple to get the setting right which I've always struggled with so thanks and to be honest my canon takes better pictures than my phone . I use a rhino foot pedal for self takes 👍😀

[@TrakkerTV]

Ah that’s great news Gary. Looking forward to seeing your camera catch shots!

[@nicholasworrell9927]

Great video Alex 👏 really informative

[@TrakkerTV]

Thank you Nick 😁

[@vinniehawksworth6596]

exellent content in this film , learned loads and hopefully incorporate it into my own self takes, i also will have the same camera luckily

[@TrakkerTV]

No problem at all Vinnie. Really glad that you found it useful

[@nickschwaller3154]

Wow okay ,big thanks for that. What a pita it can be

[@nealhawkins6746]

Realy helpful thanks 👍

[@caspervanamsterdam7499]

There is no clearer explanation. nicely told Alex! Personally, I would always use the raw function because there is much more information in a photo and you can edit it better in Lightroom.

[@TrakkerTV]

Thank you Casper. I just wish I could edit raw on my phone through the connect app as I’m so impatient 😂. Alex

[@Walnuts1706]

Alex very good video especially doing it in portrait mode I’ve got a Canon 600D tried to master it would you recommend shooting in Auto or Manual like the tip about 50mm lens got one but not used it much also you got anymore info re RAW as I’ve always shot in JPG -JPG

[@Daverave69]

This video is superb! Thank you! How did you get the image from the camera to your phone before uploading to social media?… cheers, tight lines

[@damiankostromski7554]

Great video!!! How would you get rid of the glare on the fish? Sometimes that ruins my shots and just can’t seem to get rid of it

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi Damien, a polarising filter can sometimes help with that

[@s1opp]

If your light / flash is in line with the camera, the light will always reflect back at the lens. You should use a diffuser or bounce card to soften the light by spreading it out, instead of a small point source. Better still, get your light / flash off the camera. If you can't do those, then try and hold the fish at an angle, so the light doesn't bounce straight back, it only needs to be a couple of degrees

[@russbedford1]

Placing the camera further away will reduce the glare but you will need to zoom in on the photo while editing like Alex has shown 👌🏼

[@gordonrazey]

Very informative. Great work! 👍 Quick question. How do you transfer the images from your camera to your mobile phone? Thanks 😏

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi Gordon. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. The canon 250 and 90d have the Canon camera connect app so that you can download to your phone

[@gordonrazey]

@@TrakkerTV Thanks. I've the old 60Od. Time for an upgrade I think. 😁

[@Ben_JM]

How about the 24mm EF-S? What is your opinion on that lens?

[@AnthonyHollandAnglingAdventure]

Hi, I’ve seen on other videos that for a crop sensor the 50mm isn’t the best. I’ve just got myself a 250d and a 50mm should I look to change this before I use it or will it be ok?

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi Anthony, a 50mm fixed will be perfectly suitable for your catch shots. It's what most anglers use as the 35mm prime lens from canon is expensive.

[@AnthonyHollandAnglingAdventure]

@@TrakkerTV thanks for coming back to me, really appreciate it. Looking forward to putting some of these tips in to practice

[@FixDylann]

On a phone is it better to do portrait or landscape

[@stevensardi809]

Hi, when you are doing your night photos, you suggest turning your lights off. Have you already set up the focal point or is the camera able to re-focus in the dark?

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi Steven. The camera refocus’ in the dark

[@daneveritt1051]

Great refreshing vid! Yes we are all at different stages in our carping hobbie but nice to have a vlog of something other than rigs and bait

[@TrakkerTV]

Thanks Dan. Much appreciated

[@freespool8772]

Horizontal or vertical pro's and cons ?

[@shinex2647]

Im using the 250D + 50mm fixed lens and sadly it doesnt trigger at night as yours did even with the same settings. I always have to add an extra lighting to get barely focused pictures. Anything i can do else?

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi, if you line yourself up first using the screen, but after that make sure is turned off. If the screen is on live mode it won’t focus in the dark.

[@shinex2647]

@@TrakkerTVThank you so much now it works perfectly.💪

[@scolemans]

Would this intervolometer work with Nikon cameras 👍

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi Steve. If you search on Amazon for ‘Nikon RGBS LCD Timer Shutter Release Time Lapse Intervalometer’ that one’s compatible with Nikon

[@scolemans]

Thanks so much 👍

[@guillaumeminne1509]

Does tgis intervalmeter work with the 250d?

[@TrakkerTV]

Hi, yes it works with the 250d :)
