Thanks man yes so much fun

Looooool

Thanks 🔥

That’s a really good idea thank you for sharing

Thank you for the comment and for the kind words. I actually have a video discussing that topic here m.th-cam.com/video/K3XNBRlsbx4/w-d-xo.html Both have there merits for sure, I shoot a lot of low light both wildlife and weddings and appreciate the flexibility full frame gives me there. But I started on apsc as it was a great way to get into wildlife for the extra reach but also I think having the limitation of not being able to push my iso as hard made me get creative with how I could reduce camera shake in low light too. If I had to pick one it would be full frame for me but hopefully the video will show you more details and let me know if you have any other queries.

Cheers @@chips4451 . So I use zone autofocus for in flight shots. This is the name Sony use and might vary between brands I can look for the equivalent if I know what brand you shoot on. Essentially the autofocus covering about 75% of the frame so the camera is a little more targeted whilst giving so room for me to have a little room for error when I am searching for the bird initially to allow the autofocus to track it. Hope that helps let me know any other queries if you want

Cheers dude!

Cheers dude glad you enjoyed it and yes hopefully really applicable to your other endeavours

Very kind thanks

You’re welcome

@@oldschool988 thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Very kind, glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers dude

Too kind!

Cheers dude

@@DrewWebbWild looooool

Good shout. I’ll add it to the list!

Cheers dude, thanks for the photo too!

@@FionaC-h8v thanks

Thanks for the comment, really cool to hear that the video is being watched in so many different countries. Sounds like you have a great setup too!

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for leaving a comment

Thanks for the comment. Had a look at the range of the black kite as my friend had seen them in Spain and India, it’s huge. They’re sometimes seen in the uk but not too common. That might change over time so it’d be interesting to see the red kites and black kites side by side

Those white tailed eagles have such a phenomenal range I’ve had reports they were in Northamptonshire last year. Looking forward to seeing them more frequently down the line. Very interesting to hear about the red kites and choughs in Kent. Thanks for sharing!

Really kind Glenn thank you. It’s been a passion of mine for a number of years now and hobby that rather got out of hand! Website is on my to do list for this year but I do have an Instagram richc_wildlife

Glad you’re enjoying them dude. Great fun to make

Thanks for the comment. Hope you’re enjoying the lens and hope this has been helpful

Absolutely! Yours is iconic!

Thanks for the question. So if we imagine the exact same lens is on both the crop sensor camera and the full frame camera. Then the amount of light at the end of the lens is the same. This light is not all going to hit the sensor though. As if you imagine the two different sensors being like a target the larger sensor is a bigger target so more light will hit it. A good diagram I wish I had included would be to draw one circle to represent the amount of light given by the identical lenses. And the. Draw a large rectangle and a small rectangle to show the two sensors. Hope that helps and if you have any other queries let me know

@@WildlifewithRich I get i now. Thanks a lot for the clarification. That's an interesting view. I guess that if I were using the same APS-C lens on both an APS-C and an FF cameras, I could also conclude that large sensors have more vignetting. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume adequate paring between image circle and sensor size, instead of identical image circle for all sensor sizes?

@@comeraczy2483 yes that’s true to say in my example that the image circle covers both sensors. Whereas if we viewed it as an apsc sized image circle then there would be vignetting on the full frame lens. I generally wouldn’t recommend apsc lenses on full frame bodies because of this.

Bigger surface area means bigger photons aka better light

@@hari_fyi I assume you mean "more" photons, in which case you would be absolutely right, and this does apply to lenses: lenses with larger aperture diameters collect more light. However, it usually doesn't apply to sensors because the lens projects the light collected by the front element into an image circle with a diameter roughly equal to the diagonal of the sensor it was designed for. Therefore, the intensity of light in the image circle for a smaller sensor is higher. Think of a magnifier where the smaller sensor is closer to the focal point (hotter) and the large sensor farther from the focal point (colder): they both receive the amount of light collected by the glass of the the magnifier.

Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it!

@@WildlifeWithCookie 😂😅

😂😂😂

I’ve not used that setup specifically Rick so can’t really comment on autofocus etc although there are good reviews out for both. But in terms of a broad response it is a good focal length and sensor combination for wildlife. I hope that helps

@@WildlifewithRich thank you 😁

@@WildlifewithRich I dont want to bother you but I have another Question😅 What Tripod do you use and do you know any Cheap Tripod ?

@@RicksWildLife-p8o no worries it’s nice to know it helps. Ok so there’s 2 parts to the tripod. For the tripod legs I use the manfrotto 055xprob. Although if I bought it again I would probably just buy the manfrotto 055. Have a look on eBay you can pick up a decent second hand one they’ve been around for years. When it comes to tripods it’s worth getting something sturdy especially for wildlife. The cheap Amazon ones aren’t worth your time unless it’s just for inside your house as the wind will blow them over. Then the second part is the tripod head. So the top part. Depending on how you use your tripod will determine what sort of head you have. I would probably say if you’re not doing any movement then most heads will do. If you want to do some movement then have a look at some video heads. Mine is the manfrotto 804rc2 which is quite stiff so not really great for movement but for if I want to set it and leave it then it’s very versatile

@WildlifewithRich ty very much , There is a nice hill not that far away from home. Sometimes I take my bike and go there ( with r7 and Rf 100-400 soon) There are lots of hawks and I realised I need a tripod. Do you know any light but good Tripod? I appreciate it very much Thank You🫠

Thanks Glenn, glad you appreciated it. Tried to get the balance right as the insta 360 has such a wide field of view I felt it needed a little video to supplement the photos

Crop factor is also a really good thing to consider when thinking about focal length especially cost as you say. Thank you for the comment I might have to do a video on that in future. Hope you and your kid are enjoying your photography journey

Tough question as there’s alot to consider there making a straight answer to that tricky. Understanding the effect of focal length is one step in the process. Sensor size is another you’ll want to look at and what that does. I’ll try and make a video on sensor size soon. Weight will be different on both when you factor in the size of the lenses too. Budget and what you want to use the camera for are also going to be big factors. I know that’s not a straight answer but hopefully gives you a starting point to working out the answer.

@@alemilito2274 from the images I've seen over the years from the RX10 and recently with the 6700 with 70-350 combination I would say the 6700. It's surprising good from what I've seen.

Thanks you! I think that for travel life RX 10 iv is better because no need change lenses and it s very complete and versatile :)

Agreed

Not that I found, perhaps an intrepid TH-camr might be able to find them

Cheers dude!

The z8 looks phenomenal especially value wise! Definitely jealous of your setup and location Africa is still on my to do list.

I too have the Z8 with the 180-600mm. Arguably the best combo available.

Considering they were a bit slow with their first couple of mirrorless cameras, Nikon have really been smashing it out the park recently haven’t they. Especially the variety of wildlife lenses they have

Definitely going to be another important factor. Thanks for taking the time to comment

Such beautiful birds aren’t they but yes really small so does push the camera to its limit as you say. I think this is a case where looking to incorporate some of the environment into the photo might be a good idea as long as it compliments the subject well.
