MY SETTINGS Nikon 180-600mm to get sharp photos. WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY II Bird photography

[@stevewaterhouse5360]

Always look forward to your videos. Top class videos and photos. Great music as well. 👍

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much again Steve and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀

I discovered the channel sometime ago by accident almost as I was searching for bird photography. This is very high quality work. I don't recall any other photographer sharing such good quality pictures and videos. Yes, National Geographic has the best videos. But they are in a different category. Not an individual photographer. Very well done!

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much Debasis and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀. How lucky that you discovered my channel and it is very nice to receive such a nice comment. This gives me energy to develop. THANKS

[@amitdutta8768]

Very nice and useful tips. Thank you 😊

[@Halmstadfoto]

Glad it was helpful!🙏😀🙏😀 Thank you for your comment. 🙏

[@antonoat]

Thank you for sharing all of this helpful information. I'm not too impressed with the sharpness of the zoom, although having a zoom especially in a hide/blind can be very useful for composition. Despite the shortcomings of the lens you have captured many wonderful images, you are a really excellent photographer and I'm really enjoying your channel here on KZbin! Cheers from the UK.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much again and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀 it is true that a fixed lens is sharper. But this is an excellent travel and film lens. Have a good time and 🙏

Having that bird eye at helps big time as well. Can’t believe it has not been released for the z8 yet.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much for your comment. I think there will be a release in the next firmware upgrade and I think there will be up to 20 raw images in pre record on the Z9. That would be something!!

[@edward_pulawski]

[@jimowens8105]

Your work is excellent. The compositions capture the most beautiful moments. I think the compression of KZbin does not do very well to show the true beauty of your work.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much Jim and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 You have the right photos and the video is better in real life than on youtube.

[@pinchasbirnbaum6519]

Hi Goran. Wonderful as usual and very informative and helpful. I will try without the 3D tracking and use C2 instead and see how I go. I notice that (for example at the 6:55 point) you seem to use a series of still images shot at 20 FPS. I am surprised at how smooth that looks in the video. I will try this also. Again, many thanks.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much again Pinchas and good luck with the c2 settings. 🙏🙏😀😀

[@57sapke]

Great photos and videos, thanks. I wonder how you use your exposure compensation so well. Also your videos are outstanding using without any ND filter I presume. 👍

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏🙏😀😀 I'm out shooting so much that I learned different lighting conditions plus the histogram helps a lot. Yes, I don't have filters when I film but I make sure to always double the shutter speed to fps. e.g. if I film at 25bps, the shutter speed is 1/50. If I film eg 4K 120 bps, shutter speeds are 1/250. Thanks again. 🙏🙏😀😀

[@57sapke]

@@Halmstadfoto Thanks for info. At 4:20 I thought it was video with a shutterspeed of 1/1600 but you were focusing for stills.

[@abelfernandez5648]

Excelente vídeo y excelente objetivo, a buen seguro que tiene una calidad a la par con el sony 200-600. Yo personalmente estoy encantado con el y mi A9. Compañeros que lo tienen con la top de sony la A1 están muy contentos con el rendimiento. A disfrutarlo.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Merci Abel pour ton gentil commentaire. Oui, je pense que les performances des deux objectifs sont assez similaires. 😀😀🙏🙏

[@MikeMenegus]

Hello - great presentation. I assume you are using the Z9 since the Z8 does not have the Bird eye detection yet.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 😀🙏😀🙏 Yes, it’s Z9. 😀

[@Lilyastacio]

I would like to know which one is the Z camera, please! Thanks for sharing

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much Lily for your comment. The camera is Z9. 😀😀🙏🙏

[@a.j.6018]

Hello Goran, I love your work! I just bought a Nikon Z7ii and the 180-600mm lens. For some reason, my auto ISO, is grayed out and can’t choose it. Is it because of settings I have to change, so that it will allow me to choose it?

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏😀😀 I don’t know your other settings but try to press down the iso button and rotate the front wheel. Its normally toggles between aotoiso and Manuel.

[@Halmstadfoto]

It could also try to run the camera in P mode

[@MathieuBeaulieuAsperger]

Hi, do you always shoot in Matrix metering?

[@Halmstadfoto]

Hi Mathieus and Thanks for the comment. Most of the time I do that but sometimes I use center weighted. Spot measurement is also used, but rarely. By default I use matrix.

[@MathieuBeaulieuAsperger]

@@Halmstadfoto thank you very much 🙏🏻

[@jakesdewet3567]

Great Video, just one question why you use f7.1? is it because lens is more sharp at f7.1 than f6.3? My lens is very soft at 500-600 f6.3 and only gets better at f8

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment. 🙏🙏😀😀 Yes, I feel that the lens is a bit sharper at 7.1-8 so I use that if circumstances permit.

[@geofffield7805]

beautiful sharp images. Some reviewers have found the lens soft at 600mm. I noticed all of your shots at 600mm were taken at F7.1. Did you find shots at F6.3 were a little soft?

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment 🙏😀 Yes, it's true that I think it loses a bit at 6.3, but if I go down to eg 570, it's not noticeable in my opinion. It is extremely little. almost just a feeling that it is so.

[@zmija1891]

Så snyggt Göran!! En fråga, vad är det för Fåglar vid 1.16? Otroligt vackra.

[@marieta.s]

Hello, what would you advise is the best af area mode on the nikon z6ii for birds? I shoot manual with auto iso as well and use the tamron 150-600mm g2 lens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@Halmstadfoto]

Hi Marieta, when I had Nikon Z6 II i use 3D tracking but that was two years ago. Maybee there are some new settings now?

[@marieta.s]

@@Halmstadfoto yes I believe they might be with the firmware updates. The current options on the af area modes are single point, dynamic area, wide area af small, wide area af large, Wide-area AF (L‑people), Wide-area AF (L‑animals), Auto-area AF, Auto-area AF (people), Auto-area AF (animals). I think the last two are supposed to work like 3d tracking but I am not sure this would work for birds as the bird AF option is reserved for the z8 and z9 cameras only. I am still trying to figure out what does what as I only got the camera a couple of weeks ago and before that I was shooting with the D5500 which definitely was not meant to be used for wildlife photography.

[@user-kk6wh1ut9y]

Thank you. Do you have a name of the artist/singer too?

[@praveennaik63]

How are you able to take such sharp images with ISO 1600 Exp +1. are you doing anthing extra beyond these settings

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much for your comment. 🙏🙏😀😀 I plus because of the snow otherwise the bird Will be dark. I also use Denoice from Topaz labs.

[@irfan424]

Why dont u use the lens wide open but 7.1 or 8

[@Halmstadfoto]

Sometimes when I think the light is sufficient, I turn up a step because I think it will be a bit sharper in certain situations.

[@dadasese69]

I like when you said "Nature photographer" instead for the negstive connotation of "WILD life photography" used by the corporations!

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. Yes, I love everything to do with nature, even if it's not always animals I film. 🙏🙏😀😀
