WILDLIFE FILMMAKING AND PHOTOGRAPHY. I’m a wildlife photographer turned film maker and drone operator. I love exploring remote places and I specialize in photographing/filming apex predators. My work has been shared by National Geographic, BBC Earth, Canadian Geographic, Camera Canada and various other publications. Although I'm brand agnostic, I use various Canon, Sony and DJI gear. My home is in British Columbia, Canada.

Canon C400 Sample Files #canonc400 #wildlifefilmmaking #wildlifefilmmaker
Here are a few sample files from the new Canon C400. Not sure how much you'll be able to tell from a TH-cam video but thought I'd add a few clips on here anyway and let you be the judge of how useful it'll be to you. Please note that the files were rather quickly edited in Davinci. I'm NOT a particularly good video editor so it's very likely that you'll be able to grade the files much better. But what I can tell you is that I am really impressed with the files from the C400. There is a lot to like about the camera - particularly the triple ISO. I often need low light capabilities so having the option to shoot pretty clean files at 12,800 is a big deal. The recent firmware added AF above 60 fps - a nice feature to have for when you don't need to shoot in manual AF. Also, I should add that all of the files you see in this video were shot with the Canon 200-800 - a lens with a fairly slow max aperture of f9 at 800. But given its tremendous flexibility, I've added the lens to inventory. More to come on that at a later date.

Natures natural cycles are so crucial for many animal species. Here is a short movie illustrating the path of water from the mountains to a river valley here in British Columbia. The river support various species of salmon and the salmon rely of spawning grounds found in many of the smaller creeks. Video shot with a DJI Mini 4 Pro and a GoPro 12 (underwater footage).

I came across some behind the scenes footage of my first outing searching for coastal wolves. So I put together a few of the files. It was a tough trip. Normal transportation is by boat or by float plane. But not this time. This was back in 2020 and it was 9 days of rain, rain, rain with some more rain. Storm cell after storm cell. The few dry periods didn't last long. The only way to get out t...

I've been using FCP and recently decided to give Davinci Resolve 19 a try. Here is some footage shot with the new Canon C400 (FCP incidentally couldn't open the MXF files although MXF files from my R5C work just fine) as well as the DJI Mini 4 Pro.

Recently I had the chance to borrow the Canon 200-800 mm lens once again from a friend of mine. I've been wanting to put it through its paces for video. WIth the rain today, it was a perfect opportunity to try the lens in less than ideal light. Overall it performed quite well - it is decently sharp, light and relatively speaking, inexpensive. One thing I did not care for was the lack of smoothn...

Love this ✌️
Thanks Ronny. One of my favorite places.
Henrik, first time watcher. Great info. Want to plan a trip there sometime in 2025 and your info is very helpful.
Hi David. Hope you make it. It’s an incredible place.
thank You! I recently was able to finally rent one and was very impressed by it, buying one has proved to be a chlallege though as it is in limited supply
It is a good lens for sure. Supply is indeed tough but it’s worth the wait. Hope you get your hands on one soon.
Did you use autofocus in bird footage? How it keeps moving birds?
Ahhhh good question. I did for some but not for others. If the bird was close enough, the AF did lock on and track the eye. It's not as good as what there was/is on the R5 and presumably the R5II as well. But I wonder if that's something that can be addressed with further updates. I'll be doing some more testing in the coming weeks. From the Canon website: "* Animal detection may not be possible with some animals. Subjects that are not dogs or cats may be detected as animals in some cases." If you're a hybrid shooter, you might want to look at the R3/R5II or the R1 once it comes out. For video only, I'm very happy with the C400 thus far. Triple native ISO and built in filters are great features.
@@love4wildlife thank you for answer. I have one more question. Is it possible to take a still raw picture with c400? As hybrid shooter I like to do both film and still picture. What about timelapse functionality?
@@greenlifefilmnowak4585 If you are a hybrid shooter, I'd look at one of the other cameras. C400 does not take RAW images to my knowledge as it is not a hybrid camera like the R5/R5II/R3 or even the R6.
I almost wish I never saw this. I'm going through this past summer's videos files and the ability to shoot very high ISO like these would make all the difference in the world.
I was quite surprised actually. I want to do some more testing at 12, 800 to see how well the files hold up if you push them harder in post.
Nice samples looks like you have been busy
Yeah, been trying to get the most out of the camera. 🎥
Holy Moly. That was a kind if expensive trip to taking a cold shower. What we say in Germany- this is the salt in the soup. Absolutely worth it. Bcs you will remember for long time. Specially with the big family of wolfes. Thanks for sharing.
Sand in places it doesn't belong, days and days of being wet and often cold. And would I do it again? In a second. ;-)
Wohw what a capture. This big one is not shy.
Nope.
Incredible 😍
Thank you.
Stunning and magical 🍂🌲🍃🌾🍁 (♡˙︶˙♡) Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by. ;-)
Re: a question I asked earlier, I looked it up: eagles can hear each other over 'several miles'. 🌎🏔🦅🌲🦅🌛✨️🇨🇦 Not much about them that isn't amazing, but hell... I even discovered that voles have superpowers. (They display empathy if another one's suffering.)
Thanks for posting this. Hadn't thought about their hearing - which was a mistake. So I'm glad to learn this. Such incredible raptors.
I'm probably missing context, but this was almost cute. 😂 They're all magnificent and look well-fed. Always great to see you've posted. Stay warm, Henrik.
Glad you enjoyed it. And yep, put on the thick socks today (was in the mountains). ;-)
Yes love this video it is packed with great footage. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m a slow learner. As you know. 😇
Thanks for showing the behind the scenes footage. It demonstrates the difficulty of capturing just a few moments of wildlife.
My pleasure. Just came across most of this footage this on my phone so thought I’d share that experience. :-)
Amazing Henrik.. definitely worth it to see that pack..! all the best to you bud.. g
Thanks George. Even sand in all the wrong places won’t keep me from going back. Hope all is well with you. H
Definitely worth the storm to see that pack. Well done!
Always an adventure on the west coast!!
Ah yes. You can certainly relate. 😊. For anyone else reading this, be sure to check out James’ channel.
Looks like it was worth the effort.
Most definitely. It is truly something else.
Geez...looks like our rain today by the Canadian Border! That was a big wolf family!
Yeah been coming down hard here too (North Shore).
Yessss...I am not a professional photographer but we viewers can understand how music can make or break a video. Thanks for talking about it. I always really enjoy all your music in your productions!...and of course....your great photography! You explain everything so well.
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate the kind words. Sound and music is so crucial to taking a video to the next level. It’s something I continue to work on. 😊
Well done!
Thank you. Appreciated.
Thanks for your helpful and aesthetic videos Henrik, and greetings from Sydney. Love your work ❤. You have shared some beautiful imagery. As a similarly aged hybrid wildlife photographer & aspirant filmmaker / stock video producer (Canon 1DX2 mostly with the EF 100-400 L) I too have been eyeing the C400 (and will hopefully soon get my turn with a loaner from Canon Professional Services here). Have you filmed much from a canoe? I have a 16’6” ultralight Wenonah Solo Plus, which gives me a stable platform but the wind and water add an extra complexity… per my @canoedownunder channel (I have multiple channels!). Is there any reason you are only posting in HD rather than future-proofing in 4K? I have used Premiere, FCPX, LumaFusion (on iPad Pro that handles very high bitrate 1DX2 4K so easily) and am also now embracing DaVinci Resolve Studio with the Speed Editor. So glad your channel was recommended… hopefully before too long you will enjoy similar success to your fellow countryman Simon d’Entremont! Liked and subscribed.👍📷🎥🎬
Hey Spike. Thanks for stopping by. It is appreciated. Haven’t filmed from a canoe but have done so from a kayak and other boats. It’s….interesting. I’m using an inflatable kayak which is fairly slow but decently stable. Nine times out of ten, I’ll go to 120 fps unless it’s really flat water. Re the HD post, no particular reason other than smaller file and going on the assumption that most watch on their phone. Having said that, 4K is likely the smarter option for the reason you mentioned and since some folks do watch on a larger monitor. I hope you’re able to get your hands on a C400 - I like mine a lot thus far but need to put some more hours on it. Might even do a mini review.
Glad to see that you've shared so much valueable information with us. Please also make a video about, why did you transition yourself from a wildlife photographer to a wildlife filmmaker. I mean it may be due to earning purpose or may be due to any other reason. And also if you can tell us about how much you earn as a wildlife photographer and wildlife filmmaker, it would be really helpful for us to take inspiration and to plan it as a career. thankyou.
Thanks for stopping by. Good idea for video topic. I've done a presentation on just that (why I went from photography to video) and will add it to the list of projects. It's an interesting theme that has quite a few different aspects to it.

This is very helpful and informative, I will never use any of it, but I liked to know how and why. Again, I'm a photographer. So I will never use this.
I’m not giving up on you, buddy. There is still hope. 😊
Great video I learned something new 👍
Thanks coach. Couldn’t have done it without you. 😊🙏
where is this amazing place?
It’s here in British Columbia, Canada.
Same in regards to MXF files - so i've just been shooting in RAW. Gah!🥴 I want to use Resolve, but my brain isn't smart enough. haha! So good on you for using it! Great landscape and nicely shot. C400 footage feels a little over-sharpened but perhaps you did that to better match the Mini Pro? (Makes sense). 🙏 Enjoyed this vibe! Well done.
Give Resolve a try. I think you'll really like it. All the same tools are there; it just might take a little time to find them. There are a quite a few really good tutorials on here. Just editing some drone clip in less than a minute. Noted re sharpening (I added very little but perhaps none is better). Appreciate your thoughts.
We've never seen such aesthetic slugs ❤
i know Henrik, he is handsome for one. Talented but geez...
Although they move a little too fast for me, the opportunity was too good to pass up. Kidding aside, they are indeed pretty interesting. Who'd have thought they can live up to seven years.
Gorgeous scenery very well done keep up the beautiful work 😮
Thanks Gaby. Always appreciate you stopping by for a look.
Amazing drone footage please add me
Thanks. Appreciate you stopping by.
Beautiful scenery and videography
Thank you very much!
I enjoy your drone footage. If you make more, I won't complain. 😃
Haha. Noted with thanks. ;-)
Really nice work Henrik. So many things to learn, this is a great list to get one thinking about it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Still working on Part Deux. Should be done by xmas. ;-)
Mesmerizing! Love how you zoom in to all sizes of creatures. The otters' water ballet, raven in the snow, Pacific NW wolves... beautiful. And any distance at all from a polar bear. 😬 Thank you ' I'd never see these places otherwise.
The whole journey to video has definitely expanded my horizons - in the best ways possible.
Just like a big old lab. ❤
Yep. 😁
Sweet. Curious how far they can hear one another's calls. (Only know they've a 4 octave hearing range.)
That is a good question. I have no idea but I’ll be looking into that.
可愛いのも良い? 石で 腹の貝を割る? 腹筋力?は😂
Cute and smart is a tough combination to beat. 😊
Very intelligent animals!
That they are. Incredibly family oriented too.
That is amazing very smart. I learned something I will try that trick next time :)
I think you can just pull the top off the pudding containers. 😂😇
Just subscribed. You know your subject well.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Your thumb for this video of the coyote overlooking the bison carcass caught my attention as I have the same photograph taken in Yellowstone late January 2024. Very informative video, looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Ken. I got there in early Feb. What a place for the bison to end up. Thanks for stopping by.
This video is superb. I was expecting all of it to be wide expansive views, typical of many others. While those are not bad, your focus on the inside of the forest was perfect. also what a perfect title, the 3 minute break was a pleasant one. Thanks Henrik.
Glad you enjoyed it! That particular spot of forest is remote, beautiful and hardly ever visited - so a perfect place to carefully fly the drone.
Well done. +1 on Sigma 60-600, +1 on manual focus (takes a lot of practice but so worth it) + 1000 on story.
Thank you kindly! Story so crucial as you correctly stated. Sound as well (to be discussed in Part 2). Appreciate you stopping by.
@@love4wildlife gotta catch Part 2! Subscribed.
Your videos are so crisp and clear!
Thanks! These newer cameras make it so much easier and I try to use many of the tools they give us. ;-)
Great video! Do you have any video head recommendations?
Thanks Zach. It depends on a few things including your budget, gear and what sticks you’re putting it on. A decent middle of the road head is the Manfrotto 608. The head in the video is the Cartoni Focus 10 and I’ve been pretty happy with it. If you have a heavy setup and sky is the limit, I’d go for an OConnor or a Miller. Hope that helps a little.
@@love4wildlife Thanks for the reply! I'll take a look at those. I use the Flexshooter head for stills and was hoping it would work for video but smooth panning is not really possible.
Impressive Video Will have to watch it again so much info to digest Great footage by the way
Thanks Gaby. Was interesting putting this together - kept thinking of additional things as I was recording. Very squirrel like.
Fabulous lens, just buy it and use it.
Haha. Yes. Been looking for one.
Your drone footage is amazing as always. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
Very crisp Video and love the sound
Glad you enjoyed! It’s a sound you’ll recognize anywhere.
