Let me know if you tried this technique and how it worked for you! 📷🐦

Hey Patrik, i really enjoy your videos! I recently spotted a kingfisher at a park and i've become obsessed with getting some nice shots. Using a hide isn't an option, since it's a public park, so your trick with leaving the camera on a tripod and using a remote or app to trigger it is really awesome! I didn't even think of that 😅So thank you! Greetings from Vienna!

Hey there, thanks for watching. Yeah, it's not hard to become obsessed with them, as they are such beautiful and charismatic birds. Good luck and I hope you succeed and capture some stunning shots. Cheers, Patrik

I love your videos. I am never going to set up anything like this (my camera is about as good as an old potato) but I love seeing the stages and I love seeing the end result - such exquisite detail. Meanwhile with my very indifferent eyesight I enjoy seeing wildlife on my walks and in my garden. I remain hopeful that one day you'll return to those salamanders. Thanks Patrik.

Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm returning to the salamanders in the spring. I can't promise a whole video on the topic, but I'll at least include a few photos of them :) Patrik

Haven´t tried this kind of shooting yet but you make me want to buy a tripod and give it a shot! As always, superbly recorded and processed video. Thank you :)

[@PatrikInNature]

Thanks mate! Looks like a tripod is next on your list :) Cheers, Patrik

Help, I can't find where I put my camera because it's well camouflaged.

[@PatrikInNature]

Hahaha 😀.

Kaj pa leteča perjad v kakem dinamičnem okolju, recimo na avtocestnem postajališču na Chimsee? Če želiš celo ptico imeti v kadru ostro ne glede na vragolije, ki jih zganja po zraku, se mi je najbolje obnesel F11 do 15 in 1/4000s, kar pomeni da rabiš svetel in sončen dan. Ter kako kilo hrane za vodne ptice ;)

[@PatrikInNature]

Pri pticah v letu je F11 vsekakor dobrodošel, sploh če je letenje hitro in/ali ptica majhna. Moraš pa računat, da F15 že kar močno vpliva na autofocus na kameri, ker mora ostrit s tako malo svetlobe. Kateri aparat uporabljaš?

[@jurepecar9092]

@@PatrikInNature GH5 in GH7 ... pri MFT na tako zaprtih zaslonkah fokus ni več problem, ker je v fokusu vse od nekaj metrov naprej. V to me je prisilil GH5, kjer je autofocus res švoh ... Na GH7 je boljši, a ko snemam naše tekme, še vedno ne deluje tako kot bi si želel.

[@PatrikInNature]

Aha razumem. Potem je pa vse samo se v sledenju ptici v zraku, pa imas fotko.

Hi, thanks for correcting me. I'll fix it (where possible). Cheers, Patrik
