Love this format. A nice change of pace from the typical "go to a spot and shoot what's there" that you've been doing. Keep them coming!

Beautiful shots, Ray! That amount of effort seems pretty typical for me for non-breeding season forest bird photography. This felt a lot like when I go out for overwintering Hermit Thrush here in Florida. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Matt, yeah I could see that with Hermit Thrush in winter down there! So much less vocal and bold.

This was a fun video to watch. You got some really nice pictures. The Varied Thrush has been a bird I have tried hard to find. I live in the Puget Sound Area so they are around here, though seldom seen. They usually stay in wooded areas so image my surprise one day when I was letting my dogs back inside and I saw a Varied Thrush at the base of one of my apple trees. I ran to get my camera and did get a couple of shots, none were great but that can be said about all my Varied Thrush pictures. I am sure they come to my back yard fairly often, it just happens when no one sees them.

Thanks so much, that's great you have them around your yard and yes they seem to be quite often secretive. I hope you get more encounters with them as they are stunning!

Absolutely killer work my friend. One of your best pieces of video work to date if you ask me. I was engaged the whole time and it left me excited to see what might be your next challenge.

Really like this video format, kind of like behind the scenes. You get really immerse on what's going on and all the conditions that led to the final result. Beautiful area.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, I'm so glad you liked it! That was my goal with this video especially showing through the viewfinder.

@uaebifvideo5472 Ай бұрын

Thank you for posting in high quality!!👍🏼

@RayHennessy Ай бұрын

Sure thing, half the cameras and recording equipment I use (specifically for through the viewfinder) are all 1080p but I figured scaling it up would be ok and the other footage I shot was in 4k so I went for it.

Great to see your behind the scene work to obtain some stunning shots.

It's nice to be exposed to the effort you put in to photograph a targeted spieces. So often I go out and just "run and gun" and don"t spend the time to isolate. The times I go out looking for a targeted spieces and find that bird it's so rewarding.

Pretty looking Thrush. Seemed like it was responding to the shutter noise, looks to have worked in your favour!

@RayHennessy Ай бұрын

Thanks! The shutter noise was really low volume, it sounds far louder in the video because the microphone is right next to the camera but in the field it's barely audible so I don't think it was responding to that as far as I could tell.

@Karkawry1970 Ай бұрын

@@RayHennessy Ah I see, seemed liked its movements synced to the shutter from the way the video cut, some great images regardless!

What an awesome video. No offense man, but I enjoy watching the struggle. I definitely don't feel bad saying that especially with the payoff at the end of this one. Day 1 really resonated with me. Going out with big hopes/plans, then not seeing a single bird until that wren at the end. It's difficult to stick with it after days like that.

@RayHennessy Ай бұрын

No offense at all, that was part of what I really wanted to show in this video, it's such a constant part of wildlife photography and one I haven't personally dealt with in a long time so it was nice to go through it again myself and I'm glad you enjoyed watching it!
