Good stuff. Also: 1) Use your car as a hide when possible. Many animals are less threatened by cars than people walking. 2) Don't walk directly toward an animal. Instead, take a zig-zag pattern that gets you gradually closer. 3) Don't stare directly at the animal a lot before taking the shot...pretend you're looking for something on the ground where you are, and you will seem less threatening. 4) If you can use a tripod, sometimes placing it between you and the animal seems to create a barrier that makes the animal feel safer. 5) Never shoot down on an animal on the ground. Get down to its eye level if you want a compelling image. 6) Check yourself for ticks every time after you're done...Lyme Disease is nothing to mess around with.
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.
Thank you for sharing this video. I tried the recommended default camera settings that you gave. They really work quite well. You are a wonderful couple. Please don't change.
as someone who has zero interest in shooting wildlife and likely never will, I still was able to take away some nuggets and enjoyed the video. good work.
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.
Great tip from Siobhan on starting out wide to put the bird in your viewfinder. That's the most frustrating thing for beginners. And I love Mad's coat!
Yet another excellent video, touched all the right bases, get closer, be patient, in particular the time it can take to get a good shot!! Richard, England
Outstanding. I have the D500/200-500 f/5.6 duo and it's great like Tony says! Was thinking I could take a lot from their chapter on shooting birds and carry that over to shooting planes at air shows. Boy was I wrong! Still learning I am! Great video guys!
I didn't get a good bluebird picture until I learned their call. It helps to know when they are approaching because they usually fly in, sit on a branch for a moment, and then move on.
aiu haru I want to say probably not with an IPad just because the lense does not zoom far enough and you can not change the camera shutter speed settings for a fast moving bird. You can buy lenses for the iPad that can help you to take pictures. You can get birds with an iPad but the quality probably would be as great.
Daniel I bought a Swarovski ATS a couple of years ago at a WWT site, the guy in the shop was showing me how to digiscope without the adapter on his iPhone. He go some incredible images just demonstrating.
The two eye shooting and release priority shutter are vital for all the photography I do. Okay maybe not landscape. But weddings, events, even portraits, hell yea.
Nice video. You guys have a nice down to earth approach to photography, that makes it fun for your viewers. Would of added a comment about using a single AF point in busy terrain versus all AF points. And a few words on setting the right exposure compensation setting for a bright sky. Keep the videos coming. Bought two of my Canon cameras and the Canon 400mm F5.6 lens off recommendations from your previous videos. And bought your book Stunning Digital Photography as well. Excellent...
Tony and Chelsea, congratulations for this awesome video. I love to photograph birds and this video is perfect for the beginners. I also bought your book. Great job.
Good vid, guys. If your camera supports it, I prefer manual mode with auto-ISO. Then you can set the shutter speed AND aperture you want, while the camera selects the ISO. From there you can make adjustments with exposure compensation if needed for back lighting or a light subject, such as a white bird.
Great video as always! You guys should take a road trip to the Conowingo Dam. There are hundreds of Bald Eagles this time of the year! I hope to take a trip there soon!
Thanks for the tips. Video suggestion, clothing for shooting wildlife in the cold (sub 40s). There may be things to look for in cold weather gear that would make it easier to operate your equipment than others? I noticed some had mittens and Tony with the gangsta gloves. Will alpaca scarves shed into your camera while changing lenses? Do birds like ugly holiday sweaters? Ya know...
Hey guys, I'd like to see a review of the new Sony a6500 from you, and I'm sure a lot of people want it too. Love your videos! I think I've learned everything I know of photography from you.
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.
Wild life pictures is something i havent tried with my camera. Ive just been into night star photography, I think for wildlife its kind of a must to have a telephoto, which i dont. Also noticed the Tesla, man thats awesome, a serious cool car thats also helping in some ways the environment
If your lens is good enough for astrophotography, it's good enough for wildlife. Sure, having a longer tele lets you take shots that you couldn't take without, but the same is true of astro as well. I'm loving 300mm and 500mm on a DSLR, but back when I had a cheap compact I still enjoyed trying to shoot birds, flowers, and even a frog on focal lengths as short as 17mm (equivalent to 105mm on full frame). A kit lens on an entry-level Canon or Nikon goes that far.
A walking stick with a screw on top that fits your camera is a useful thing. Steadys the camera but is light enough to pick up and photograph a fast moving subject. And it can prevent you from falling down on the trail and injuring yourself or your camera stuff. I have even used mine to fend off aggressive geese.
It would be great to see another techie video. This time about how environment impacts camera. Cold makes batteries die faster, how saltwater impacts camera while shooting landscapes, how to not shoot at direct sunlight (sensor burn risk) etc.
Trying to save up and find a used Nikon 400 2.8 and use a tele-converter with it. I have heard certain lenses work with certain tele-converters better than others. Example the 300mm Nikon 2.8 will work with the 1.7 better than the 2.o converter. Same with Canon.
Really useful advice from obviously experienced people. I started myself with still photo camera then soon after movie camera took its place. In a way I am sorry for that but I succeeded to film quite the interesting footage on wildlife in the mountains. Thanks for sharing. Paul
I am pretty astonished by the battery life in cold weather. I can't even drain 50% with my D750 + S150-600 Sports combo after an afternoon with a few hundred shots at a temperature around 30°C
Here is a tip you all will not believe until you try it. Getting close to most birds and other wild life is about your eyes. Animals look for you eyes. Bow and duck hunters that use the face nets know what I mean. Ever had a squirrel run up you thinking you were a tree. Had a buck stand on its hind legs and stretchs to smell my boots while I was standing in a tree stand once. Had a Pileated woodpecker land so close to me while I was deer hunting, I took a nice picture of it with a Kodak 110 disk camera back in the 1980s. One can use the paintball masks with the solid looking grill eye screen. That works too. I was wearing tree bark camo with face net bow hunting once and had a big ass owl land right above me. I had to take the mask off because I thought the dam thing was going to jump down on me. It was staring at me because I had move while I moved, but it could not make out what I was with my eyes covered. It took off once I took off the face net. Had ducks try and land right next to me while picking up the decoys, because I was looking down and looked like a big old tree stump out in the water. If you looking up they see your eyes twinkle from way off. Anyway just try it.
Wildlife photography is still missing from our Photog Adventure videos. I haven't done any myself. Is there a lens rental shop you guys are affiliated with where I can get some money your way as a thanks? -Aaron
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?
When you do shutter priority do you dial in any exposure compensation and what metering mode do you use...matrix? Have you had trouble with whites of certain birds getting blown out like on Ospreys and Bald Eagles?
ebird.org actually has the ability to search for specific birds by location (state / county). Great for finding recent sightings. Very up to date. Then you can go on your hike considering a particular bird may have been sighted in that area recently. Also the scanning on the way to work is PARAMOUNT. I noticed how many birds I was missing when I actually started looking for them.
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,
Ricky L Jones My guess is that the telephoto lens they're using has image stabilization, and there's bright sunshine so there's no worrying about slow shutter speed. I can almost guarantee those lenses are super fast, probably around f/1.8.
TC Conner Thanks TC, I was hoping they would talk more about the use of tripods and monopod shooting birding and wildlife shots, but I totally agree with your statement. I remember Tony saying he doesn't use them while birding.
+TC Conner Well the reason you may not want to bring a tripod or monopod for shooting birds is because if you are shooting at 1/1000 of a second or faster it is not necessary to have a tripod or monopod for shooting birds in flight. Where the Monopod or tripod would be useful is where you know the birds are going right to left or left to right, or directly towards you in a look out tower or something. Also long exposures. But often when doing bird or airshow airplane photography you want a fast shutterspeed to not have blurry photos. They do have another video they have posted before on bird photography. They have said that there was no need for the tripod or monopod because it got in the way when birds flew over them or flew in a different direction.
mythdusterds Thanks Mythdusterds, I guess we will have to disagree on that point. Been shooing bird photography for a very long time and using a tripod, if you can or desire, will give you sharper and crisper shots, especially using long lens. Now I will agree, with the lenses they used in this video a tripod isn't necessary. As always, thank your for the input. It's always about the learning. :)
I have another suggestion on getting tips on locations to find birds and other wildlife. Talk to local fishermen, they will know all the best spots to find wildlife around water.
I would like to ask how do you set the auto-iso, is it between iso 100 and 6400, or something else? Another question is about the pre-focus, where do you set the focus when you cant see the animals?
I'm traveling to Yellowstone over the summer, and I can't afford to buy a "perfect" lens; however, I can rent one. What combination(s) would you recommend I use for Yellowstone?
I think there was a technical issue with this video. I could see and hear Chelsea but only hear Tony. It seemed as though Tony was just doing the voiceover when the shot was of some trees and brush. Weird. Justin?
I have a Canon Rebel T6i and bought a 75-300mm lens along with it. Can you guys tell me how I can take shots with it because whenever I zoom in the camera becomes very unstable because of my hands. I see you guys using much bigger lenses and still able to take great shots. So what am I doing wrong?

All excellent tips
Haha, sounds like you did this once or twice. Very good tips.
"Thanks Nic This is some of the most useful information that I have ever gotten on the net, thank you for sharing!
Excellent tips, every one. :)
Tip of the day: If you don't have a tripod, get married.
...and make sure they are shorter than you. :)
But if you are married, you will never get a tripod or fast telli! It's a circle of death....
This is where you ask Chelsea if she's busy that weekend.
Jim Engström ture but I'm 14😂
Wow a tripod would be a lot cheaper

Great tips as always! Great to see a family outing enjoying themselves! I loved Tony's plug in the end on the Chapter 8, and his book!
Yet another excellent video, touched all the right bases, get closer, be patient, in particular the time it can take to get a good shot!! Richard, England
2:10 - Tony so gangsta! Hat on the side, camo and the hand like dropping a rhyme 😂
I love Tony at the end... "DON'T FORGET OUR BOOK!" it sounded like a complete afterthought but I found it amusing haha
more vids with ye outdoors please, much more fun than tech reviews on a table.
Tip#1: Keep your eyes open while driving. Solid advice there Tony.
Very well presented and with many options.Great tips that can make or break a great outing.
It's really cool to see the whole gang out for a photo trip!

Madelyn is so cute! Hope she'll take after her parents and become an awesome wildlife photographer in the near future
holy crap..the lens is bigger than the kid
This is great. I can genuinely say I knew none of this. Thank you for your hard work guys!!
Tony, can I take those photos with my iPad Pro?
aiu haru I want to say probably not with an IPad just because the lense does not zoom far enough and you can not change the camera shutter speed settings for a fast moving bird. You can buy lenses for the iPad that can help you to take pictures. You can get birds with an iPad but the quality probably would be as great.
you can use a pair of binos or spotting scope and attach your ipad to it. Takes practice but you can get some decent photos digiscoping.
Daniel I bought a Swarovski ATS a couple of years ago at a WWT site, the guy in the shop was showing me how to digiscope without the adapter on his iPhone. He go some incredible images just demonstrating.

That D500 w/200-500mm is a nice setup! I like the zooms myself, it's nice to have some room to adjust for closer shots.
Thank you so much! Great video and fantastic shots! I really appreciate all the help and advice!1😊✌🏾

Just a small thing, also add the mm shot with (like @500 or so) when specifying what camera/lens.
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.

A pleasure to watch you even drive in Tesla

Awesome Tesla model S! Is it the dual mother P90D?
Jake Evan Tesla is nice
Isn't it a Model X?
Nice video Tony. By activating all auto focus points do u mean all focus point in dynamic mode?? I shoot Nikon.
I am pretty astonished by the battery life in cold weather. I can't even drain 50% with my D750 + S150-600 Sports combo after an afternoon with a few hundred shots at a temperature around 30°C

I know that, what I meant is that the li-ion battery last very long in hot weather, much more so compared to cold weather.

great video as usually
Here is a tip you all will not believe until you try it. Getting close to most birds and other wild life is about your eyes. Animals look for you eyes.
Bow and duck hunters that use the face nets know what I mean. Ever had a squirrel run up you thinking you were a tree.
Had a buck stand on its hind legs and stretchs to smell my boots while I was standing in a tree stand once. Had a Pileated woodpecker land so close to me while I was deer hunting, I took a nice picture of it with a Kodak 110 disk camera back in the 1980s.
One can use the paintball masks with the solid looking grill eye screen. That works too.
I was wearing tree bark camo with face net bow hunting once and had a big ass owl land right above me. I had to take the mask off because I thought the dam thing was going to jump down on me. It was staring at me because I had move while I moved, but it could not make out what I was with my eyes covered.
It took off once I took off the face net.
Had ducks try and land right next to me while picking up the decoys, because I was looking down and looked like a big old tree stump out in the water.
If you looking up they see your eyes twinkle from way off.
Anyway just try it.
great tutorials... can u please do a tutorial on aperture priority mode
When are you going to NZ, it is home to hundreds upon thousands of unique birds, the potential for a Carrera changing photo is big
Wildlife photography is still missing from our Photog Adventure videos. I haven't done any myself. Is there a lens rental shop you guys are affiliated with where I can get some money your way as a thanks? -Aaron
Hello I was wondering if you had any advice on shooting in lowlight settings for birds? Mainly forest shooting
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?
all very good advice
Great video guys, I couldn't help but notice that you guys drive a Tesla... Awesome!
Snails are also considered wildlife, and they move remarkably slower. I find that I can usually sneak up on em pretty well.
great video.
thank you
Where can I get that double hot shoe adapter that was on the video DSLR in the car in the beginning? Could be really useful.
It's this: amzn.to/2gGVypi
We've tested a bunch of them and that one is the best (though it is our second copy, because the first broke)
thx :)

An f1.8 long lens? No sir. The affordable ones are f5.6 or f6.3, and the ones that cost $10,000+ are f4.
Too cold! Come to Florida!
Which metering mode do you use?
I have another suggestion on getting tips on locations to find birds and other wildlife. Talk to local fishermen, they will know all the best spots to find wildlife around water.
Do you have any bird sanctuaries near you? I would think a bird sanctuary would be a great place to capture pictures.
Hey Chelsea, Tony, will you guys be reviewing the Nikon 200-500mm 5.6 anytime soon? I look forward to your thoughts on it.
I would like to ask how do you set the auto-iso, is it between iso 100 and 6400, or something else? Another question is about the pre-focus, where do you set the focus when you cant see the animals?
