Photographing the BALD EAGLE! | POV Bird Photography | Birds with Beau

[@lynnmiller1781]

Remember…it’s never “just a Robin” or “just a Killdeer” like someone said last May. 😂 Another excellent video, Beau. I’m very happy for you. 😎

[@birdswithbeau]

😂 You're right you're right! 😂 Thank you sir!

[@davidthebirdguy517]

Your videos are so entertaining. You have great shots, information, tips, etc. Keep it up; I love the POV stuff!

[@birdswithbeau]

Thank you! Hopefully some more great videos to come!

[@andycollins5983]

Great video! I really enjoyed this a lot. Nice shots of the eagles, especially the shot of the juvenile looking right at you! I’m going to check out your other videos.

[@birdswithbeau]

Thanks a ton!

[@ShaynaCossetteBirding]

You have such amazing weather still! great video and photos and really cool how clear the calls come through on video!

[@kimwetherbee3256]

Loved hearing the Eagle and then the shots at the end, way cool!!

[@SithijaBasnayake33]

Great video. Try add some caption also.👏

[@birdswithbeau]

Noted. Thanks!

[@HawkInTheLens]

What a fun adventure! So sweet to hear that eagle calling initially and glad you eventually got some shots of it

[@birdswithbeau]

Thanks! It was a great morning!

[@brighteyedbirding]

Awesome photos Beau! Extremely well done and I love the POV type footage!

[@birdswithbeau]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!

[@kaesefuss2]

Yesss another video🙌🏻 It is very rainy here in Hamburg/Germany lately, but your last video about photography in the rain motivated me to go out as well. And I saw and photographed a goldfinch for the second time ever, so thank you for this. Keep up with your cool videos

[@birdswithbeau]

That's awesome! And I'll try my best! Thanks for watching!

[@dillonencinia2729]

One day you’ll have the Z8 or Z9 & your photos will be glorious friend!! Keep on shooting 👍🏽

[@birdswithbeau]

Hopefully! Z8 would be the next large upgrade for me! Thanks for watching!

I’ve never been super into birding but I love photography so I clicked on the video and got excited when I heard you say you’re in michigan! Gotta love the beautiful nature we’ve got here! Excellent video. You do a great job explaining what you’re doing and sharing your knowledge of both birds and camera settings. I also appreciate adding all the photos in after each shot, helps me feel like i’m there! Keep up the good work!

[@birdswithbeau]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! Working on a new video right now actually! I'm in Mount Pleasant, although I travel the lower peninsula a bit for the birds, probably more than I should! 😂 Where are you located?

[@tylerdeibel376]

@ I’m from saginaw! I’ve only gone birding once and that was on the au sable river- absolutely gorgeous area!

hello man love you content (keep it up) im thinking about swaping from the D750 to the D500 (averything is bether exept 4MP) do you think this is a good idea (im buy the nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 right after xmas, so it wil be after that

[@birdswithbeau]

Thanks! If your looking to mainly shoot birds and wildlife, the d500 is definitely a worthy upgrade. But if you are planning on shooting some casual wildlife/birds, but also landscape and portrait photography, then I would lean towards sticking with the d750. I've shot the 200-500 with both of those bodies and they both perform great. Going from the d750 to the d500, the biggest thing you will notice is the jump in your burst rate, (6.5fps to 10fps) and the endless buffer, which is awesome. Also the autofocus is significantly better than the d750. It's a bit hard to really know the difference until you've used both of them, but the d500 is a monster when it comes to birds in flight. Also the extra reach from the dx sensor is well worth the slightly worse high ISO performance and the 4mp drop (I have never really noticed a difference)

@@birdswithbeau tysm for answering ant keep it up whit the content

[@jeltsephotography]

9:46 WOW WHAT A SHOT

[@jeltsephotography]

DAMN THE BURST

[@birdswithbeau]

😂 Yeah sometimes it's necessary for getting that perfect pose! Might've went a bit overboard there though😂

[@jeltsephotography]

@@birdswithbeau I totally get it!! Go big or go home right 🦅

[@jeltsephotography]

@@birdswithbeau I just never shoot burst with wildlife, well I do, but only the lowest option there is on my A7 IV :)

[@shock_n_shots]

What's your lens setup? I opened your Flickr account and the lens written there was 200-500mm. that looks like a 500mm prime or a 600mm??? great video! Keep it up :D

[@birdswithbeau]

Thanks! Yeah, I have been shooting the 200-500mm for a while, and just a few weeks ago I got the Nikkor 500 f4 vr, which I am loving!

[@shock_n_shots]

@@birdswithbeau That's great! Yeah I was just watching your previous video! looking forward to seeing more of the 500mm lens shots.

[@birdswithbeau]

@shock_n_shots Thank you very much for watching! I'll be putting out some good stuff soon, so stay tuned!

[@ukasz7073]

@@birdswithbeau Same, I went on flickr and saw that the photos were from the 200-500, I looked at all the film and noticed that it was f/4 so I was betting on 500mm or 600mm f/4. You write that you love it so is it a step up in quality over the 200-500? Greetings.

[@birdswithbeau]

@ukasz7073 Yeah, the biggest downside is the weight, it's just shy of 12 pounds so it's a quite the unit to move around. The difference in quality is fairly big, although I think I would be able to take advantage of it more with a better body, ie. a Nikon Z8. The f4 definitely is worth it though, the bokeh is miles better and you get twice the light on your sensor, which is especially important shooting aps-c as I do. Thanks for watching!
