OMG Steve, I purchased your 531 page BIF Ebook and I'm only on page 168 so far and seriously... I'm struggling to put it down, or rather I never want it to end. It feels like you know me and have personally written it just for me. It's absolutely fantastic and for anyone thinking about "should I get it" stop thinking and just go on faith.
I know this video is also excellent, but firstly there's so much more great content in the book and secondly, reading rather than watching and listening to someone else, just helps you retain information so much easier. Steve, I've got an R6 MKII and your info has got light bulb moments going off for me everywhere.
I just had to pause reading and let you know how priceless your book is and tomorrow is going to be the best photography day for me since starting about 7 months ago and I'm seriously excited about putting what I've learnt from you into practice, so thanks millions 👍
Thanks for the kind words :) The BIF book is one of my favorites and I had a great time writing it.
Not a moment wasted, not a word extra, this is just pure gold😂😂😂
You can take 54 minutes to watch this three times over and take it all in. Or you can watch an hour of other folks' videos on this subject and learn half as much. Your choice.
Seriously, this is by far the highest content-to-fluff ratio of any photo tips video this newbie has seen. Other ones are well-intending and the advice (when they get to it) is good, but Jesus get to the point before repeating yourselves 5 times!
Wind, position, surroundings, environment - sound like a sniper crash course:D
Right on target.
Without a doubt the best video I have ever seen! I'm gonna watch it taking written notes, with my Nikon 850 sitting right there, lol. The learning never stops
Once again, I knew everything about a subject... then Steve Perry adds so much great tip info about a subject that I feel reborn.
the BEST REAL Guide/Mentor on youtube.... !!!
Huge amount of brilliant advice as ever Steve. Even those of us who have been doing this a good while need to listen here, makes you realise where there is room for improvement! Thanks for a great channel.
This is the video I have always been waiting for. Every time I watch your reviews or videos I feel, man! I wish I could take such beautiful photos, these tips will go a long way in my bird photography. Thanks.
Thanks Steve you're a font of knowledge and your sharing of it is much appreciated by so many!
Thanks so much, Steve...I am constantly amazed at how you can simplify the complex for us mere mortals, while still inspiring us with your amazing images as examples.
Even as long as I've been shooting I always learn something new from your videos. You're a great educator! Thank you.
Steve's books on metering and exposure as well ad the deep dive into auto focus for Nikon cameras are fantastic. Highly recommended.
Thank you!!
Agree!
Yep totally agree full of his knowledge and first hand experience. No fluff just real world advice.
Another great video, Steve. Not only great for beginners but great reminders for those of us that have been shooting awhile. Thanks
with the books, these videos are a must watch. Excellent! Thanks Steve.
Steve - another great video! I have learned quite a lot and appreciate what you do. Your concise, yet informative and easy to understand way of articulating concepts for wildlife photography enthusiasts make them must see viewing. In my opinion they are the best out there. I am a Nikon shooter which makes them doubly relevant for me and will buying your e-books as well.
One of the better educators on the Tube.
You make sense, and you don’t assume that the listener knows a lot. Clear, and very well presented articles Well worth the subscribe button!!
Well done! Thank you for such a fantastic overview. This was really well produced and you covered many excellent points and obstacles that all bird photographers will run into in the field, as well as post-field in our portfolios. Hats off to you, sir!
I'am not a bird shooter but I've always marveled and have been in awe of good bird action photography. This was an excellent explanation on how to shoot this type of photography.
Nicely done Steve - a good review for more experienced shooters and rock-solid advice for newer shooters.
This is truly a fantastic overview! I've learnt a lot of this by watching loads of videos, trying things out with my camera and scratching my head. The fact that you've distilled so much into one video is very generous. Thanks for sharing!
I have watched 3 of your videos now and really like them -- I especially like that you get right to the point of it.
Thanks Steve. Great tips, even for those of us that have been shooting BIFs for a few years!
Steve, your videos are absolutely the best! I can't get enough of them - in fact, I find myself re-watching many. Thanks for all you do!
Using your tip to shoot in manual and auto ISO has made a significant difference in my keeper rate. I use it a lot. Thanks!
Another fantastic video from Steve. Thanks!
Breathless photographer, in awe.
Compulsory for all bird photographers, both newbies and for those with experience. Great images. Core knowledge explained in an understandable way.
What a super helpful video. Full of practical tips and suggestions.
Thanks Steve for this beautiful content.🙏
Hello Steve.
congratulations and thanks for the quality of the knowledge shared.
Best regards
Awesome job as always Steve .
Probably THE MOST valid YT channel on photography by far. Thanks for your efforts man and keep safe. I haven’t touched my camera since March as I got stranded away from it.....big story, your uploads are like a breath of fresh air these days. God bless you and your family.
BTW I ain’t preordering the D6 unless you upload your thoughts on it . And I am sure many more people are interested in what you have to say on it before they part with the D5!!
Thanks so much! I'm planning a review, but I don't have the camera yet - or a place to shoot it! Or my 600 F/4 (it died) - and I can't get it repaired at the moment. So, it may be a bit of a wait. I too am very curious about it. I have a feeling ISO performance and AF might be noticeable improvements - and that's really saying something!!
Thank you, Steve. Your videos are excellent. Packed with information in a short, simple and easy to follow tutorial.
Great video as always!!!
I have all of yours ebooks and the Noise Reduction Video Workshop, and I really love all of them!!!
Thank you for give us fantastic (and funny) information!
Another great video Steve. You pack so much great useable information into your videos. Thanks!
Great video thanks. Just got my Nikon this year, so still learning. You answered the issues I've been having with focus. Also loved the 'if they look like they're about to take off stay looking in the view finder', missed lots of take offs as I looked away. Off to watch the rest of your videos.
Your videos are amazing! You pack so much useful, honest and relevant stuff into it that someone can watch it several times. It's really a dedicated and professional work you are providing here for free. I also start to get interested in your books. You are an awesome teacher!
That's a lot of info! Thanks for the fast-paced and informative guidelines...It's stuff I often wonder about, since birds in flight are challenging.
I can’t believe how people like Steve spend hours to make such useful and educative videos that are so much useful to beginners like me. I bought NikonD7500 about 2 years ago based on recommendation from one of Steve’s video. Since that day I’m in love with Photography. Thank you Steve!
Great video Steve. Love the animations to explain the principles.
Fantastic summary. The most effective and efficient 18 minutes I have spent in a long time.
Thank you very much for sharing your valuable techniques and knowledge in an objective and didactic way. A hug from Brazil.
Steve! I was just in Scotland and by following not just this video but your Sony camera settings ebook I had such a great time and way more keepers than I would usually had. I found myself using manual mode and all the custom button settings as recommended by you almost intuitively. Thank you so much!
Manual with auto ISO is my goto even for performance stage lighting. The light can change dramatically in a moment. I add highlight protection, and I can just concentrate on a good shot and not worry about technology.
The tips are of great value and the best one is "practice..practice...practice".
Great advices as usual! Thanks Steve!
Fantastic refresher Steve love it. Every time I watch your videos or just listen to you I learn something new every time. Tremendous source of knowledge and information on everything from gear to technique, Steve thank you so much. One positive thing about lockdown I get to go back over your stuff and love it.
Awesome advice as always, thanks Steve! Just got to practice, practice and practice.
Great advice and great photos to prove, that your advice is good.
Agree, thanks Steve...now all we need is the long anticipated but never appearing Nikon D5 review! You've been such a big fan and user of the D5, but still no review, while every other camera you use does have a review. It would be great to hear why, when and or where you choose to use the D5 over the D850/Z7!
Great video Steve! This is one of the best videos I have watched for BIF tips.
Outstanding video as usual, thanks for helping.
I've never-ever shot a bird! - But this video (as many many others from Steve) kept me glued to the screen - and I learned a lot! Your videos are just pure gold! So very well - straight to the point and a ton of inspiration :)
This was so packed full of great information and advice! Also, a great reminder to go back and read the books you’ve written - I bought them and am so excited to spend some time learning from you! Thanks for creating so many resources for new wildlife photographers to learn from!
Fantastic Video Steve... Appreciated sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are an incredible photographer, AND an excellent teacher. I love your videos. Thanks!
To be honest, I find most bird photography to be dull and boring... but yours are on another level, exceptionally good. Great stuff.
Thank you for this video. It's answered a lot of questions I have about birds in flight. I'm just getting started, after retiring almost 2 years ago. I bought a brand new D7200 about a year and half ago to learn basics on before moving up. And your channel and several others have been extremely helpful! Keep up the great work! P.S. I have this bookmarked so I can find it quick for future reference, which I'll surely need.
Excellent crash course from which I have learned much. Thanks Steve. Take care and stay safe.
Tons of tips here! Thank you!
Outstanding! Thank you!
Excellent video full of valuable information. Knocked it out of the park again Steve! Thank You!
Excellent video and clear instruction. Thank you Steve!
Always good tips Steve!!
I recently learned a new trick that I haven't heard of before.
I use a Nikon D500 for my wildlife shooting.
(I'm not sure if this tip is achievable with other brands that I'm not familiar with.)
I have my D500 set for single point / continuous, back button focus using the AF-On button as you would expect.
The new trick is I now have my Joystick set up so when I press it, the camera uses Group + AF.
As you well know, Nikon group mode uses 4 AF points in a cluster as 1 point.......so like having 1 large AF point which has upped my keeper rate for sure.
This has been working well for me as I use the regular back button (AF-ON) focus for stationary birds and then if the bird takes off, I then move my thumb to the joystick to take advantage of Group + AF while the birds are in flight.
I love the challenges of bird photography and enjoy the tips from your videos, so I thought this was an opportunity to maybe give something back.

Great info ty, ( having both eyes open as you look through the eyepiece really helps, it might be a wee bit tricky to get the hang of at first but it's worth it.
