6:35 - you only want stabilization off if you're using a tripod. Image stabilization is to counteract hand holding the camera. It has nothing to do with anything happening in the frame. Most people tend to "mash" the shutter button, causing camera shake. It's less prevalent at higher shutter speeds, but if you're panning / moving quickly, take every bit of help you can get! I shoot wildlife with a 150-600, luckily those lenses also have optical stabilization built in as well.

Hi, i came across your youtube channel as i have a dog and wanted to take better photos of him (8 month working cocker). Just wanted to say a big thank you for producing great content and taking the time to teach us all and passing on the knowledge of how you take excellent photos and vlogs. From a (Royal Marine) veteran, after serving 22yrs who has picked up a camera and started to do wildlife photography and one who has suffered with depression and sadness, i like the honesty you show in your videos, and how you came to where you are now. And that you also definitely make a difference. i just wanted to say again thank you. Don't let any trolls get to you, it just shows their weaknesses as a person :-)

I don’t understand when I should press the back button focus to grab the focus, should I hold it from the dog is sitting down and all the way through when she’s running? Or press it with timing when the dog is where I want it to be and hope that I am able to move my focus point on her face/eye as I press it?

On anything other than a canon mirrorless, you can hold it from start to finish. On canon mirrorless, tap it only when you are about to take “the” shot and you’ll have much more success 👌

Thanks, I'm enjoying these. I'm a recent ex-wedding photographer and its really good understanding the little tweaks in settings. Like Image stabilisation, makes sense and thinking about it I can see why its not needed at 1/1250th or faster. A couple of tips I leant from weapons training that may help is if you bring your right leg up when lying down it takes the pressure off your chest and so your breathing disturbs your aim less. The other is if have both legs out, but spread them out (very lady like!) using your elbow as a platform it gives you a really solid platform and you can aim up or down by pushing or pulling on your toes!

Fun shots. It's hard to pull detail out of black dogs and she did a nice job. I do this a lot for friends who run their dogs in dog sports. Everyone has to find what works for them, but I would not do this exactly this way. First, if you're using animal recognition, a larger focus target point works better. The camera will find focus on the dog, in fact it will find focus on the eye of the dog, so long as the dog is in the focus target area. Making the target focus area very small loses the advantage of the computational targeting because it's quite possible the eyes of the dog won't be in the target area.. Second, using the function where you capture the action before you press the shutter may help if you find yourself waiting too long to take the shot. I use 50 fps with maybe ten frames before the shutter press and fifteen after. If using this feature you might try locking focus about 10 meters before the critter is where I want the shot and press the shutter when they hit the spot. This isn't necessary by any means. I find it better to lock focus and start shooting a few meters before the dog hits the spot where I want the shot and then keep shooting till they are beyond it. If possible, and it usually is, I also set the focus limiter which makes the AF system's job easier. Agree with @michaelroach3553 that image stabilization won't confuse subject movement with camera shake. However, with a high shutter speed turning stabilization off shouldn't hurt anything. Also note that high ISO with animals is usually not an issue because noise in fur or feathers is almost never distracting.

So usually, when you active either lens or camera stablization, it knocks the other one off (usually). In the case of action photography, you don't need any image stabilization enabled at all. Hope that helps!

Tried practising with the teddies, but the little sods just won't run. Still, easier to focus that way. I find: If you set up so you fill the frame, you won't amplify any noise at high ISO as much by cropping in. If you use a high ISO, you won't get as much noise as you would by using a lower ISO, underexposing a bit, then amplifying the noise by pulling back the exposure and or shadows.

Hi Jess, I'm catching up on all of your video's hahaha. So if I understand correctly.. you choose 1 steady small or medium focus point.. and within that point, you do use auto eye focus? I've had canon for years and always used the single focus and back button focus. Now I own a sonyA7iii (since a few months, so still learning to use it really) and just loving the eye auto focus, but mainly use it in the ' wide' focus area. I wonder why you chose the single focus point in combination with eye auto focus. ♥

So I just found your video because I have a client that asked me if I could take some photos of the dogs running and jumping around just like you were doing in this video. And I told him I can’t promise of anything but I know it will get a couple good shots. So they gave me an example photo of the dog jumping over the log just like your last photo you took. And I pretty much have the same camera gear as you but was curious I have both the a7riv and the A9, and the 135mm gm and the tamron 70-180 f2.8, and the Sony 200-600g lenses. I am leaning more to the a9 for this session for its awesome auto focus tracking. But I wasn’t sure if I should go with the a7riv with its higher megapixels to get a more detailed shot. I am leading towards using the 135 mm GM but if there is enough light I might used to 200-600 G lens. But I’m worried if I use that lids I might have to go into ISO 2000 or 3000 to get the shutter speed high enough. The a7riv that iso will degrade the photos and I have not sure if the a9 can handle that iso with good enough quality for my clients. So I think I might stick with just 135 mm gm . So I think I will try just using both cameras and see which one gives me the best results. Their dogs are going to small as yours they got Labradoodles So it should be easier to track. All right great video just wondered what you might think I should do

I don't know if you'll ever read this but anyway: I'm pretty new to photography (I'm studying media but only got my own camera 1 week ago) and I've been trying to do some dog photography myself. If I understood correctly you use the Flexible spot focus and have the point somewhere in the middle and then track the dog with your camera movement. I tried doing that with my camera and my dog and I found it really difficult to actually get focus on to the dog even tho it looked like he was inside the "focus point". Maybe it's because of my lens that's slow? (I've got a 50mm/1.8 and a 24/70 3,5-5,6 kit lens and I mainly tried using the 50mm lens when I tried to shoot my dog). If you've got any tips I'd really appreciate it, I'm gonna watch even more of your videos to hopefully get an even better unstanding of dog photography!

I had this same problem in the past. check the setting "priority set in AF-C" if it is set to AF it will prioritize focus and not shoot until it has focus. change it to Balanced or release. release will take the photos regardless of subject being in focus.

@jimblackmon26453 жыл бұрын
@@bebemathews2824 Shoots with a balanced emphasis on both focusing and shutter speed. I would try balanced first. if that does not work set it to release. also, make sure your shutter speed is high enough.

Do you shoot in live view? As that’s the only way I can move my focus point around like that

Which Nikon would you recommend for this?
@ThatPhotographySpot2 жыл бұрын
Z9 is of course the dream but any Nikon can shoot action in reality. The D500 is a good starter option for good action without the mirrorless price tag 😊

@@ThatPhotographySpot thanks for the reply! I'm noticing, it just takes practice and certain lenses help. I've been looking at the Z6II, I mostly photograph people. But the odd time I do my dog running.

I am a landscape photographer I do prefer sport photography when I get lazy to go out for landscaping. Currently I am using A7riii and I do have also 100-400gm. May I ask when camera did you use for this? Thanks. Really enjoyed this video.

Thank you for your video information. Careful with "getting old" comments 😎 I'm 64 years with hip replacement. Can't lie on ground without a plan to rise again. I've been shooting motor sport and jet sprint boats for some time. Now my grandchildren have border collie cross ( currently 9 months ) and she is a marvel in full flight. Hoping to adapt to photographing her really well, even with my trusty / dusty older camera.

your photos are amazing and sharp. I have a Panasonic lumix g7 and honestly am not liking it anymore now I'm getting more serious with my photography. All my pictures seem to be really grainy and out of focus when I zoom in so I know that printed versions would be terrible. I mainly do wildlife at the moment, but pet photography is my dream job and have no idea how to work with the gear I've got as I can't afford to upgrade, and no one seems to have any videos with that camera. Subscribed though for more tips :)

How do I turn off the images stabilisation on my Sony a7iii? I don’t think my lens (tamron 70-180mm f/2,8) has some image stabilisation so I only have to know how to turn it off in the camera.

What is the MM # between Aperture and ISO? Are you compensating exposure? I know u shoot on full manual. Guess that number is irrelevant since you rely on your histogram. Beginner here. Nikon D3300 user. Its such a slow cam and I'm struggling with exposure. I follow the meter since theres no histogram and its not accurate. Its always under or over. Driving me crazy!
@ThatPhotographySpot3 жыл бұрын
Its the cameras internal meter but I personally don't pay attention to this 😊
