Thanks for another great enjoyable video Jeremy !!!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Glad you enjoyed Raymond! It was a fun one to film 🙌🏻

[@BayouJosh]

Such a beautiful video! Great story telling. gorgeous images!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks Josh! Appreciate the encouragement, was a super relaxing experience up there these past weeks.

[@chrisjmiller6]

Flycatchers are usually very cooperative, providing plenty of opportunities. It's always a rush when your subject lands on the perfect perch. Nice video, I found it quite enjoyable

[@JeremyNeipp]

Flycatchers are definitely some of my favorite to work with due to their reliability for sure! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@zenphotojourney]

I always enjoy watching your videos! And can relate so much with the struggle to get the perfect shot, sometimes coming close but not quite and then sometimes getting a totally unexpected bonus.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks Melani for the encouragement! :) It's such a real struggle to feel that pressure, I think it's almost unavoidable and it's so important to be able to breathe and still appreciate what you were able to capture. The feeling you described is awesome when that happens. Hope you are encouraged in your own journey!

[@mikes.6985]

Sometimes a failure In one way leads to success in other ways. Nice video 👍👍.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Most definitely, 100% true. Thanks for the compliment!

[@Easter_Egg89]

Great video as always and wise words. Thank you, Jeremy :)

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks Stefano! Glad you found value in it ☺️🙌🏻

[@Terence_87]

No much to say,great video as always, Jeremy. Your video & photos never disappoint me 5 thumbs 🥳🇲🇾

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you! 😍 glad you enjoyed, I hope you continue to find inspiration on the channel ☺️🙌🏻

[@vdiitd]

Those are some amazing photos and videos! Not just that, your story telling is also amazing. Subscribed. Hoping to see more such calming videos :)

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed, it was an incredibly day out :) Hope you continue to find inspiration on the channel!

[@bebopkirby]

The bird photography was nice, but l could not take my thinking off how this beautifully made film was made. Mainly is he out there by himself, which in itself would be amazing, or does he come out with others to film him?

[@JeremyNeipp]

My wife usually comes out to help me film in most my videos, glad you liked it, I put just as much work into the broll as the wildlife photos sometimes haha.

[@TranquiloBayPanama]

You have really upped your skills Jeremy, it's clear all the hard work is paying off. The photography, narration, b-roll and edit were really good. Keep them coming. I couldn't help but notice how low the lake was, hope you get some rain soon. I would love to see that Lawrence's Goldfinch, Wow!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you so much! I work hard at all of that ☺️ the lake unfortunately is much lower than I should be this time of year! This Winter/Spring did not offer a lot of rain this year

[@TranquiloBayPanama]

@@JeremyNeipp The whole West seems to be in a draught now, we are few years off of the average down here in Panama as well. Hope y'all get some rain soon. Keep up the great videos.

[@sergiushannan]

Lovely story and images!

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks Sergius! ☺️🙌🏻 glad you enjoyed the story!

[@617aaron617]

That is one gorgeous flycatcher. I am really looking forward to getting out with my son as a lot of warblers and shorebirds are finally returning to our area. As always, awesome video and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks Aaron! It’s an exciting time of year, I hope you find what you’re looking for with your son! Have fun 👌

[@617aaron617]

@@JeremyNeipp Thank you Jeremy!! We did get out today and found four different warblers, three different shore birds and got to watch and photograph a sandhill crane getting harassed by a red-winged black bird. All in all, I would say we had a good day.

[@capturingnaturewithsandip]

Lovely & detailed Video. Great Story telling.....Have subscribed..

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story told and I hope you continue to enjoy them!

[@highwayman1224]

We have White crowned sparrows out here in Arizona and I got some great shots of one just like yours on some dead branches. Pretty birds.

[@JeremyNeipp]

They are beautiful birds! Glad you’re able to have some cool encounters ☺️

[@JRLNeal]

Hi Jeremy as many must have said I've just come across your channel and surprised you only have 5K subscribers. You tick all the boxes for me, one enjoy watching and photographing birds but not to the professional level that you do and secondly I love making videos and the way you've done this is really exceptional. Not only is the video work well shot but very well edited and your VoiceOver is not easy to get right but honestly you nailed it. You surely cannot be doing this video on your own so I'll be interested to see and hear who is with you. I'm really looking forward to viewing some of your of the videos. Obviously I can see you're in North America can you just say where exactly. Many thanks.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Thanks John for the encouragement! Im honored you feel those ways, I work hard at telling a good story along with all the other important aspects of getting the shots video and photo wise ☺️ my wife helps me out in filming most of my videos! She does an amazing job capturing the broll with me. We are located out of central California, Fresno area if you’re familiar. I hope you are encouraged in your own journey with wildlife photography!

[@JRLNeal]

@@JeremyNeipp I did jump the gun about your location because you do mention it in one of your other videos. I live in the middle of England but my older son lives in San Jose and back in 2016 on a visit we took an overnight trip to the stunning Yosemite national Park, so I am a little bit familiar with your location. I will say again your, and your wife's, video and photographic work is exceptional and I really do appreciate your carefully worded narration and how you are clearly in awe of creation. Whatever your tradition or faith maybe you have the ability to resonate with anyone who appreciates the natural world we live in. Your content has given me a fresh inspiration for my own KZbin channel. Many thanks.

[@JeremyNeipp]

Yosemite is gorgeous! Glad you got to visit. Thanks again and I hope that it brings people to appreciation that creation we live in like you mentioned. Glad to have inspired and hopefully something comes of it on your channel! Stay encouraged :)

[@mickejonsson8224]

looks like you shoot with sigma 150-600mm ? i am torn between this lens or a canon 100-400. are you 100% happy with image quality from sigma 150-600mm ? great video by the way ;-)

[@JeremyNeipp]

I love it! I'm super happy with it, I use the L Mount Sport version currently but I also used to use the Contemporary version which was great for the price.

[@PascalDickhoff]

Great video! I don't know if anyone already asked, but how did you do the camera slides? Was there another person or do you have some gear for this?

[@JeremyNeipp]

Yes to both! My wife helps me film the majority of my videos, in about half of the videos we use a slider to get those slow sliding movements like in this video here. Glad you enjoyed!

[@PascalDickhoff]

@@JeremyNeipp Awesome! Thanks for sharing this insight! :) Really great videos.

[@sureshtravelvidios9661]

You are not mentionef exposers and camera?

[@sumit92artist]

While this was amazing, it wasn't a 'tricks' Video, man. Maybe name the videos responsibly? 'Photographing Small Birds' would have been enough, really. The clickbait reduces the beauty of these videos.

[@JeremyNeipp]

The tips and tricks are embedded into the voiceover and actions displayed in the video, so it’s not conventionally and boringly laid out but rather in a more engaging and entertaining way, if you listen to what I’m saying I talk about the process and what helps in capturing the bird 👌
