[@marjant156]

What a wonderful guest! Thanks jasin for inviting him. His photos were awesome. Specialy the birds photos. I love them👍👍👍

Simon needs to set up his own You Tube - what I learnt in one day with Simon improved my photography 100% thanks for this excellent interview.

[@JasinBoland]

Totally agree

[@WesWarner]

A great interview Jasin. Bird photography has all the nuances of a portraiture shoot without the egos IMO.

Part 2 today or tomorrow...

Simon is an incredible shooter!

Great job Jasin. Excellent introduction to a fascinating field of photography (and tremendously talented artist!). Thank you.

🤣🤣 57 mins in.... you two remind me of my times in the first gulf war! So many funny incidents - talking of which I looked after an Aussie press boy called Jasin in the Press out there! It wasn't you was it Jasin?!!!

[@JasinBoland]

Not Gulf but I have spent time on Carriers.

[@NZTriggspix]

I remember those Lady Di photos... and your supermoon is awesome!!! I always thought they were photoshopped. Your bird photography is amazing - If I could just get one image as good as yours I'd be happy :) thanks for sharing :)

[@chrisblincoe3592]

Great conversation and images. Good to learn a little more about one of our greatest nature/bird photographers here in Auckland. :)

[@selianboy8508]

Jasin! How can you NOT use back-button focussing? You seriously need to sort your act out! 🤣 it will so sort your life out and if I could give just one tip to an aspiring (or indeed an accomplished 😉) photographer, it would be to switch to BBF. You have so much control and, after all, the shutter release button is for shutter release.. not focusing! Nice vid indeed

[@JasinBoland]

haha I know right!

moon shot looks manipulated to me... moon is mis-orientated! Caveat - might be correct from the Southern Hemisphere though! Also at 500mm moon would be quite small in the frame (35mm FF) so this image is heavily cropped to boot - not a problem at all but this was not mentioned so effectively this is like a 1200+mm lens! But great shots though!

Ask Simon but he does no trickery

@@JasinBoland I am sure of that Jasin... not even the massive willy the person in front seems to be carrying around with them? 😉😂😆🤣
