Pangolin Wildlife Photography - Here on Long Island, NY, this morning I left my boring house during my confinement, and used my D750, 1.4 teleconverter and 300mm Nikkor f/4 lens. I had it on 3D focus tracking which is kind of a habit with me for many years. Auto ISO from 100 to 600 and caught some small birds which were setting up homes in my four bird houses. Got some great shots but when we are released, I will be using that kit either with my D750 or Z7 in a local park which has many varieties of wildlife. Thank you for the information and will try out some of your ideas.

i have 2 D 750s. One set up with a Nikon 300mm f4 lens with a 1.4 converter and the other has a Sigma 150-600 contemporary lens which Is a good sharp lens in most conditions but can be just a bit " soft " on really dull days or other low light conditions. my settings are almost identical to yours Danielle except I usually set my own ISO. I would like to use Auto ISO but always worry about too much Noise. I know you can set a limit on the Low and high Iso settings, What would you recommend I set them too to avoid to much Noise bearing in mind the lighting in the UK is not as light as you have there, especially in Winter. What would you consider as the highest Iso to avoid Too much noise. at present I usually use ISO 800 up to 1600. I usually shoot Mainly Birds small and large and the odd Deer. Thanks Clive. p.s love your Videos.

Great video with lots of information so important to many of us. We buy cameras , we buy lenses , and we are trying to apply different settings just to get the best shots. Many of us struggles with such settings. The one written in the manual are just so basic. Here with this video , we can simply listen carefully to you and follow the rest. Of course , each camera is different, but most settings are pretty much the same .It doesn't matter if you are a Canon , or Nikon, or Sony shooter.After few years in the field I learned that everything depends on light. I can memorize "perfect"settings in my head , but they will be useless if there will be not enough light. So we need to learn how to be flexible and how to adjust things. I am a Nikon girl, from the day one,usually shoot wildlife at F/8, 2000-2500 sec , ISO 100-1600, M mode, spot/matrix /group/metering.Thank you Danielle for this very useful presentation.

Hi Margaret. Well said, and thank you. As you say, the basics all remain the same and when to apply them comes with experience. Then once the light disappears...you know how to compromise. As soon as you know the upper and lower limits, the magic happens :-) Your settings are pretty much on par with the settings I prefer/find work best. Thanks again!

Hello Guy. It all depends on budget, subject (birds/wildlife?) and destination, but if weight is an issue then the 200-500mm from Nikon is the best choice, together with a 70-200 or wide angle for closer shots. Does that answer your question?

Hi Ingrid, good to hear from you. That's pretty much perfect. It might be a good idea to keep the shutter above 1600 to be safe (if you have enough light). I am just a bit weary of using spot metering as the lighting changes drastically from one shot to the next. In high contrast situations, I would consider using spot, but I find that using my exposure compensation is quicker. Should the spot fall on the darker part of the subject the ISO will push up very high,unnecessarily so.

I use them all and it helps to speed up the workflow.

@daniellecarstens82874 жыл бұрын
Hello. You're 100% correct. I switch between single point and "group". However, when I am shooting a subject that is moving fast, or coming towards me from a distance, it is sometime difficult to pick it up with single point and then I use Group to increase my chances of picking it up with the other 4 points around my centre point. But single point is very accurate and a great one to use. All about personal preference :-)

Thank you so much for the video. I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. The concern I have is from D750 is - 1. Slower AF, 2. Shutter speed 1/4000 which is half the D780/Z6ii/Z5 1/8000. Are these show stopper for D750?. Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids. It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens. Thank you and looking forward to your suggestion.

@danielle-pangolinphotohost10054 жыл бұрын
Hi Ben, sorry for the delay in replying. We should have video coming up soon about full frame vs cropped sensor cameras - keep an eye out. Generally speaking, full frames give you the best depth of field that a lens can give (beautiful blurry backgrounds and foregrounds to isolate the subject) and also because full frame sensors do better in low light/high ISO situations. Those are the 2 big advantages for me, specifically in wildlife, but there are plenty more.

I always setup my camera’s U2 setting group with back button focus off and group autofocus and as close to automatic as I can get. That way I always set the camera to U2 mode before if I hand it off to another person and I know they will be able to focus it correctly. Typically photos where I hand off, are of my wife and me and so if you are not careful the novice photographer might focus exactly between us in single point focus mode.

I would say to be careful with auto ISO and matrix metering. If the subject is darker, and the scene is bright, this could cause the system to underexpose your subject. IMO if you're going to use auto ISO, I would recommend using spot or center weight, especially if the background isn't that important. I personally will set the ISO manually and then check and change it as I need to. Usually only takes a few seconds to do so, and unless your lighting is changing constantly and quickly, I would advise against using auto ISO. Sometimes it works great, other times it doesn't and I prefer to take that variable out and just set it manually and check it periodically and adjust as needed.

Hello, thanks for the comment. I make use of exposure compensation + matrix metering when using auto ISO (capped at the maximum that I would be happy with it of setting it manually). If I have a dark subject with majority light background then I'll mostly start by overexposing to make up for the cameras metering, but Centre weighted will also work. Having 3 settings to change when shooting wildlife is just too many and shots get missed this way - no time to check the shot and readjust usually. I guess it depends on circumstances. -Danielle

Hello, it might have to do with your lens - if you see the magenta on the edges of the black? Danielle

Would you use these settings on a Nikon D5 ?
@daniellecarstens82874 жыл бұрын
Yes the D5 would have the same settings available - same metering modes, AF area modes and white balance etc. It offers more focus points (25,72,153 points) and a better AF system but the basics remain the same.
