    Thank you.

    This is more of equipment display; the images briefly flashed were rather commonplace.

  3. Forster Stewart says

    Red is medium grey in black and white… hence the orange hunters wear same results medium grey. (ANIMAL EYES) It will keep you from getting shot by foolish hunters that shoot anything that moves. Be smart… be safe.

    God to love being sponsored by canon….or photograph with gear owned by the bank (aka everything om credit..lmao)

    Rich guy

  6. Edward Brady says

    The Canon SX 70 Superzoom Bridge camera…even though not a professional camera such as these has a much larger zoom that can reach 65x and can extend to a sophisticated Digital Zoom which is Quite Good can extend out to a 130 x zoom with pretty clear results… ( TRY DOING THAT WITH HIS DSLR) AND IF YOU NEED THE SHOT FAST HE CANT SWITCHLENSES FAST ENOUGH , WERE I CAN ZOOM RIGHT IN. PLUS YOU BETTER BE BILL GATES BEST FRIEND IF YOU NEED ALL THOSE LENSES AND LOU FERRIGANO TO HOLD THEM AND CARRY THEM AROUND, NO THANKS ILL STICK WITH CANONS SX70 SUPERZOOM!

    I really don;t understand all the jealous comments 🙁 Arty has earned all the equipment he has now. and he deserves everything he has.

  8. aaa zzz says

    After watching this video I am giving up on photography. I don't have the 100 grand to spend on equipment like his and there is no way in hell the photos taken with cheap equipment can compete.

  9. Tyler Sims says

    Oh man nice gear! I have a aways to go! I am new photographer. I told the dealer I wanted a basic camera to learn with so I bought the Canon Rebel T6 Premium Kit with the two zoom lenses. I also grabbed the Vanguard Espod Tripod. Thanks for showing your gear!

  10. John Kantar says

    can you do a comparison between the canon ef400 2.8 with 2x convertor and the ef 800 5.6 even if you can throw into the mix ef 600 with 2x thanks John

  14. Melrose Vision Mission says

    Loving the instructional video from Arthur but have to laugh at the really cold morning of 15 degrees. That's summer here in Scotland. I wear a T shirt :). Great work Arthur love your photos and hope to be as good as you some day.

  15. suman Rana says

    Rich men

  16. Geoff Longford says

  17. where I can get the Tripod?

  18. Ken Blanchard says

    Thank You very much, your presentation was perfect, I truly enjoyed it very descriptive and accurate and to the point, very enlightening..

  19. trdougherty says

    Wonderful advice. Study your craft and ALWAYS have your gear

  20. Richard Crowe says

    Regarding "Circular Warming Polarizer"; do you shoot with AWB? If so, won't the AWB "fight" the warming?

  21. Pat Pathinayake says

    Dear Mr.Morris, thank you so much for your succinct and valuable advice. The part about the vibrations loose the screws is a very obscure one. I always took it for granted that after the quality checks had been carried out by the Canon laboratories, I need not do anything. Your tips are brilliant. Thank you Sir, Best wishes.

  22. Thaw Tar says

    Oh my god!!! His lens worth more than my car!!! But wait, I don't have a car…. lol… Cannot afford a car yet.

  23. H K says

    Poor guy, 800mm f5,6 was missing

  24. Steven Moore says

    Art,

    I recently read on your website in the FAQ that you recommend the 400 5.6 over the 100-400 MKI for bird photography. I was curious as to whether that still rang true with the 100-400 MKII on the market, and your endorsement here in the video. For what it's worth I will be primarily shooting waterfowl, 50/50 portraits on the water and BIF on an 80D. I have been agonizing over MTF charts, sample images, reviews, and forums attempting to decide. I like the IS in the zoom for low light and the weather sealing, but often find myself shooting at 400mm. I know you receive these novice questions often and I apologize, but your insight would be most appreciated. Thank you!

    This is such a valuable and practical tutorial, using the gear out in the wild. I love Arthur's customisations developed over years.
    Thank you for posting such a great video

  26. Gonzalo Menéndez Lagar says

    amazing explanation and amazing pictures..

  27. NickGoesHAM says

    A bunch of lenses I'll never be able to afford. FML.

  28. Michelle Jones says

    I have 2 lenses: the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II and the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III. The camera I own is the Canon EOS Rebel T5. I'm just a beginning photographer. So far, I've taken pet portraits, plane photos, seagull pictures, and close-ups of flowers and insects. I'd love to move on to wildlife photography, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the state of Georgia to see any wildlife. Lol plus I'm broke and don't have money to travel anywhere.

  31. John Frost says

    arthur your the best photographer around

  32. rialbb says

    mostly paid for by canon

  33. Russell Wood says

    Hi Arthur thank you for all your videos i find them really helpful I am a canon shooter like yourself I'm only starting out but I save my money and buy the best gear this way I don't buy something cheaper and end up being disappointedI have to say the canon equipment is fantastic not disappointed by anything they have built the only disappointment I have with canon is I've sent in my Mail in rebates for lenses that I've bought I've never received my rebate. I was taking pictures in Tokyo and it was raining heavy I slipped on some rocks and dropped my one DX I took it into the Canon company in Tokyo and they checked the camera out and never charged me The company has its good side and it's bad side such is life

  34. Lau Bjerno says

    "It lets you use a wider aperture, so you don't spend the rest of your life cleaning dust".
    Sorry if I sound stupid, but I have just no idea what is meant by that.
    Could anybody please explain?

  35. a.ramappa says

    I just realized, his gear is worth my car.
    Incredible collection.

  36. Jérémie Kerguelen says

    all his stuff worth more than his car ^^

  37. Bill Joel says

    There is more money in the trunk of that car than that car is worth…..you could buy a house with whats in the trunk of that car.
