    I see wildlife photography growing as a trend with outdoorsy people. For years l hunted game for sport. Today l stalk wildlife with a camera and glass. Trust me this much more challenging and rewarding! Keep the vids coming.

      It definitely is - I’ve been shooting wildlife myself for a few years, but just like you, I’ve always spend my time outdoor.. not as a hunter, but I’ve been on hunts with family members.. though it’s similar, it’s definitely not the same hunting great shots with a camera 😅 I’ve already got a few more videos lined up - so stay tuned.. and thank you 🙏

      I hunt and do wildlife photography and by far a camera is harder than even archery.

      My father was a hunter and he trained me how to be an outdoorsman. When I am out with other birders, I'm the first one to spot wildlife. It was my training through his hunting that made me the nature photographer I am

    Excellent! Position and wait depending on the subject. Waterfowl typically land and take off into the wind, so for waterfowl wind at your back. Mammals have a keen sense of smell, so for mammals position with the wind towards your position.

    Anders, I just did a similar video of tips that don't include your camera. Five tips (some like yours) were; get comfortable, observe how the wildlife is moving, blend in, choose a wide field of view. My bonus tip was to be prepared - keep your settings for a wide opportunity of photos (e.g. I keep my camera at 1/1000, F8, and ISO auto. my autofocus target recognition is set for animals and birds (I use a Sony system). Totally enjoyed your video. All the best!

    I really enjoyed your tips, but learning to hold the camera with a big lens is a great technique to have in case you are not able to find a place to set your camera on. I taught my students to spread their feet to hip’s width. Then place their dominant leg out front and their other leg as an anchor. Next step is to place their hand under the lens at the farthest point. This gives the most stability while allowing for them to track birds flying in front of them. They walked away with great photos.

    I would add this - don't be afraid to use your phone for close up and/or wide angle. Newer models in particular take great video. Just get a wireless remote release (I know, possibly a new purchase but they are very cheap and some even come with the small, bendable tripods). Then place your phone camera appropriately and trigger with the remote as required from a distance.

    • @andersaastrup
      @andersaastrup  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You’re absolutely right 👍 shooting with a remote definitely opens up a lot of opportunities. I’ve tried to use my phone as the remote, attaching a wide angle to my camera and then just sitting looking down in the phone waiting for the moment 😅🤳 thanks for watching and commenting btw 🙏

    This is my first time watching your channel and I like what I saw. Lots of good tips and a good reminder even for me who has been photographing wildlife for many years.
    Your scent is also something to consider. Channel smells good for us humans but not for animals. It can be good to also think about how your clothes and equipment smell. I store my camera bag and other gear so they don't absorb smells from my home, my food, pets, etc. Store all equipment in felt bags if you are unable to keep them in a separate room. Wash your clothes with unscented detergent, there are special detergents that hunters use and it might be worth trying.

    • @andersaastrup
      @andersaastrup  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is actually a great tip. I haven’t thought that much about how my clothing smells to be honest - just that I won’t be using deodorant and stuff like that. Everything hangs in my studio, so it is a separate room - but it’s something I’ll think more about in the future. Thank you 😊🙏

      It's really a hard question to be honest. Most important is to get a good zoom lens and they are always a bit pricy unfortunately. I started with sony a7iii and the 200-600mm. Now im using fx3 with the same lens.

    #9 is so true, you may not be hunting in the literal sense but you are hunting for a photo so hide, animals no matter what will move away from you so if you hide and make them come to you then you are likely to find them.
    If you are a hunter use your hunting gear while photographing birds, DNR may question you but who cares you are 100% legal eitherway.

    Jeg tænkte om jeg sku tage stativ med i Dyrehaven en tidlig morgen, når der ikke er så meget lys....men...... hvad nytter det at skrue langt ned for lukkertiden hvis hjorten tager bare et enkelt skridt når jeg tager billedet på f.eks. 1/40 sek ? Så blir den jo alligevel ikke skarp ? :(
    Virkelig frustrerende ikke at vide hvad man skal gøre :/

    • @andersaastrup
      @andersaastrup  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      stativ er altid godt synes jeg - bruger det altid. Jeg skyder dog også mest video, så kan jo nærmest ikke klare mig uden. Men ja, mangler du lys, så prøv med stativ og vær ikke bange for at presse isoen op - AI noise reduction i lightroom kan klare rigtig meget af støjen for dig efterfølgende, så dit billede bliver helt skarpt.
