drive around and keep my eyes open – is the general way I'd like to drive.
;-P
I use tripods all the time for wildlife photography. Whether I'm in a blind or not…a big lens on a gimbal mount is the way to go.
I also use flash at times. What I'm shooting has to be close, but I rather use low ISO and flash enables that.
What do you guys do to prevent fogging? I.E. coming in from the cold to a heated area. I usually just keep my gear in my backpack or in a very large zip lock bag if it doesn’t fit in my BP. Thanks,
Nice video with lots of information.
Nice Tesla.
Beautiful Family, full of lives, God Bless you all…
Can you guys do a episode on how to take care of your equipment in cold weather . Meaning going in and out of car during cold weather.
Danks again. You've taught me 70% of what I've learned on 7200, d850, I do not know what id have done without you. I'm 51, so really enjoy the help. As manuals for years say very little. Happy shooting.
the majestic seagull
If you are looking for bald eagles look for what they eat. For example, look for a group of coot.
The best way is to drive around wow such environmentalists lol
First Tony…I love that you always wear a UT hat! Hook em horns! I'm going to Africa for a safari with my father. I have a Sony A7ii camera with a 70-240 mm lens. Is this adequate to get good shots of the Big Five?
hey chelsea… I like sea gulls, so i care!
Thanks, helpful information.
Madelyn is so cute! Hope she'll take after her parents and become an awesome wildlife photographer in the near future
When you talk about getting the eye in focus, are you talking about the focus at 100% or 400% zoom? Of course, at 400% it's best, but most of the time, it's impossible to capture.
Always awesome. I know this is WAY older, but still great info. And, you look soooo cold!!
Well… I have a Nikon D-70 and planing to go out in some hours. ( It's 02:40 and I have school tomorrow but I won't fall asleep sp ill continue searching for tips. )
Is Nikon 200-500mm better than Tamron 150-600mm G2? Which lens is better for bird photography?
Thank you. I do feel a bit more confident going out to do shoots with my gear until I can upgrade. Currently shooting with a Nikon Dx1 with a Nikkor 70-300 5.6G, a Nikon 3200 with the same lens or from my kitchen window, (I made a perch by drilling the top of a branch and filling the holes with seed to entice the locals. This puts the birds at about 12 feet and they are unaware) a 18-55 AFS f3.5. Next equipment upgrade is a 2x for the 70-300 then on to a better long lens instead of the zoom.
Thanks again for all the tips. They really are helpful.
thank you Tony and Chelsea for making this videos, I find the very useful !! question regarding mirror less cameras with 2x crop factor such G9 or similar, have you try them for wildlife photography ? I see they are more portable BTW if you ever visit Costa Rica please let me know, it is a great place for this 😉
nice glove's…need such a pair of glovs too….LOL
Which camera is best for beginner Nikon d5300 or Nikon d3400….?
The most important bit of kit is a pair of decent bins. I’d rather see the birds with no photos than not see the birds of interest and half a dozen images of mallards.
How is Nikon D7200 along with Nikkor 200-500mm for wildlife shooting ?
Tesla mmmmmm
Great tips!
3:31 please music
OMG, on couple of time he was holding that 600mm from the camera!!! other than that you guys are awesome
Hello I was wondering if you had any advice on shooting in lowlight settings for birds? Mainly forest shooting
The Nikon D500 with the 200-500MM F5.6 is what I think I will be going for. I have always shot with Olympus but I want to step it up and use a Nikon or so just work my wildlife.
