Great video mate, what a bird and some stunning shots. You did well in challenging conditions. I can't wait to visit that spot one day. Cheers, Duade 👍
Jan, just seeing you look so happy has made my day ☺ The photos & video clips you took are breathtaking!! You never cease to amaze with your work. It is said that passions don't have a reason, but since discovering bird photography, I find it such a privilege to be out in nature just observing birds in their natural habitat. If I can get a few good shots , I'm thrilled. But even if I come home without any photos, the sheer joy of being able to go out in nature is beyond compare. Thank you for another amazing video!
Sensational work Jan! Been waiting a while for this to come out. I’m a bit biased on the riflebird but have to say this has been the best episode. Absolutely stunning.
Jan, I am sure I am right in saying your videos keep all us going in places where the current weather isnt that great for Photography. So glad to see you looking better and back to what you love doing the best. Love the interaction between you and our subjects, must of taken ages teaching that Bird of Paradise to sit on your camera and look at the monitor! keep up the great work, many regards from your UK fans..
Good to have you back, Jan! Great information and good to see you in the field again doing what you love. I can see the excitement in your eyes! Thank you!
You are the official bird whisperer Jan! Great to have you back in full swing, always a pleasure watching you at work. You're photos are sensational! Keep it up!
You deserve this feeling of happiness! 🤩 Thank you for your inspiration. I love taking photos in the rainforest, even if I rarely get the chance from Germany. Finding bright backgrounds in the rainforest is of course a challenge. The image effect is fantastic. I'll be in Costa Rica at the end of the year and will try to pay attention to such conditions.
Lovely to see you out in the field again, Jan! This video is exceptional and the timing couldn’t be better as I’m heading to Costa Rica for a 2 week birding trip in a few days. I don’t have the luxury of that beautiful prime lens but I did get the 100 - 500 to use on my R7. I have a 1.4 teleconverter as well, but it really puts a damper on my aperture. I’ve packed my filter flash and I’m taking your video with me.😊 Thanks again for a phenomenal tutorial. Wish me luck!
Wow, Jan! Preparation and great good fortune have served you well on this shoot. Fantastic images as well as explanations on how you “troubleshot” challenging variable light conditions!!
Hi Jan, I love walking around the rainforest. Have your videos and presets but without the good images means little. I find that in the rainforest the lack of shooting spaces and the poor light is a nightmare for me with the R5 100-500mm. More info on where you actually were would be helpful as obviously open platform and plenty of tame birds. Always watching and learning, thanks for your efforts and good to see you on the mend.
Hi Jan. I really enjoyed the episode and it inspired me to visit the same spot. So today I sat on the same deck and saw the same perches that you had shot the rifle birds at. The rifle birds are very persistent and literally will land on you to get what they want. But how well did the Canon R5 and the 100 to 500 RF working low light! With a bit of tweaking using the Topaz Photo AI. I have been using DxO PureRAW 2 but I've recently been using the Topaz because it's a one stop shop to get everything from de-noising, sharpening, etc. all in one software so it's easy to use. It's truly a magic spot isn't it.
@@jan_wegener Thanks mate! I almost had the Chowchilla on your log this AM (Wegeners perch). But the Brush Turkeys chased it off. They've taken over that log and even chase off the Rifle birds. You should come up and launch of counteroffensive.
Great video Jan don’t have any rain forest nearby, last rain forest I was in was Vietnam in 67 but couldn’t carry a camera then. Glad you getting out and about. Looking👀 forward to upcoming videos. Oh I worked out the trouble I was having buying your prosets finally got them downloaded workflow is next.
Your coming back stronger than ever Jan ! 👍 So glad to see it 🙂 Funny you should ask, as a matter of fact, I was in a very "dark" forest yesterday, and taking shots that I really didn't expect a lot from... But was hoping they would process okay. To my surprise, they came out really nice ! Obviously I could have done better with better light, but for what I had to work with (oh, I was using my R5 + the RF 800 F11 !) It was actually pretty amazing I could get anything useable at all !
What a stunning bird. Stunning and cooperative, too. But you took advantage of this and provided a fantastic video. And thank you for all insights on how to approach such difficult light conditions.
Beautiful , Jan. Looks like video is better than still photo for this scenario. What lens/body/settings combination would give high quality frames that could be grabbed as stills?
This is fantastic Jan!!!!!! Wonderful photography of this incredible birds!!!! Congrats, what a wonderful opportunity to photograph the brids of paradise, like a dream como true!!!!. My two cents, I live in the rainforest (Panama) and struggle with the dark contiditions too, similar equipment (R7 + 100-500rf)...In the dark I am getting good results lately using single spot and one shot mode AF, the focus hunting stops,, try it!.
My GOD! These images nearly brought me to tears. 😮 Thank you for sharing your work and giving so many tips. I have much to learn and to relearn since the pandemic put the breaks on my travel. I’m out of practice so I’m watching great videos like yours for instruction as well as inspiration. I subscribed from the very first video of yours that I saw last week.
Wow Jan what an amazing video! The enjoyment just bursted of the screen and the shots you took are absolutely next level. Thanks so much for sharing, it sure make a grey rainy Amsterdam afternoon a bit more colorfull...!
Jan, this is the best bird photography video I've ever seen! The production on it is fantastic. In a forest!?!?! Truly inspiring. Glad to see you back in your element.
JAN, been long time viewer and bought R5 a couple of years ago. Shooting some wildlife, but mostly vintage race cars with 1.6 crop giving 800mm capacity. I have not looked into your archives about using this feature. Is there a problem at high ISO settings? Outstanding are your narrative flow during videos.
Superb video. This bird is soo amazing. The image with both birds at the twisted perch is such a stunner. Really really cool episode. Looking forward to more of this stuff 👍🏼
Oh what a joy Jan !! Thanks for sharing such amazing experience !! In the heart of Europe we have rain and forest .. but nothing remotely close to the magic you found in Queensland. Such a unique bird, truly awesome !!
Superb video with some outstanding photos Jan. And yes i live in Brazil, so much of my time i am in the rainforest photographing. And for sure the light is complicated there, so finding the right spot to photograph in is very important. Wishing you a great weekend, with a lot of joy. Cheers, Bjoern
At first, I have to say that I'm happy to see you coming back and well again, Jan. Then, I'm absolutely amazed by watching this. And the shots you took are really wonderful and so well processed that I can still be blown away every time I look at them while appreciating the beauty, the behavior of the birds and all the details it contains. Thank you so much for letting us see all this bird photography backstage and enjoy the great content and your excellent work!
What a precious video Jan! I’m sitting here in rainy belgium with a big smile on my face dreaming of riflebirds in the rainforest! 😄😄 I really like this videoformat! Thanks for taking us with you 🙌🏻
Oh, wow! Great to see you out in the field again!!!! I much prefer watching you work in the field rather than studio presentation of tech news etc. Having said that, I never tire of any of your videos. I'm confident that I haven't missed a single one over the years. Besides that, you and Duade keep me 'sane' since I had to relocate here to Canada from NSW 12 years ago. At 75 yrs of age, I'm unlikely ever be able to even visit Aus again 😢
INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm at a loss for words. The Victoria's Riflebirds are BEAUTIFUL. All of the birds you've photographed are beautiful. I'm thinking of your Masterclass but I have a very limited knowledge of Photoshop. I prefer it though over Lightroom Classic. Which program is used for your class? Jan, I'm really so happy for you that your health is improving. Thank you again for an awesome video. -Cathy, NJ, USA.
I’ve done the masterclass and it revolutionised the way I process my images. Very easy to follow and after doing it a few times it just keeps getting easier.
Thanks Jan, amazing video of spectacular birds. I have tried this photography before and my shots were below average but you've provided some handy hints there to help with my improvement. Cheers.
Hi Jan, glad to see you in the field again !! Recovery seems to be ongoing nicely. I have one question: Did you have a converter attached while using the long 600mm lens ? It looked like it in the video. Viele Grüsse aus Berlin und weiterhin gute Genesung, Jana
Jan, this was a FANTASTIC video! This helped bring several things together for me that I'd been struggling to understanding. It definitely filled-in some blind spots for me. I have the R7 and my high-ISO shots aren't nearly as clean, even with DXO Pure Raw 2. I'm guessing that's a lot to do with the R7's cropped sensor and the smaller pixels on the sensor. I also have the RF 100-500, but don't yet have a big prime like you have. So I don't yet have the luxury of being able to switch to a super telephoto prime that can gather more light. I'd love to see a video explaining the reasons for differences in image noise with different cameras, sensors, lenses, and light. I get the basic concepts, but your images in seemingly low light are SO much cleaner than mine. Considering a flash/speedlite now because of this video. Maybe the new EL-5.
It’s not just pure raw but also the whole editing process and good exposure in the field that combine to the final result. Pure raw is just one step that helps a lot but alone isn’t enough.
Jan: Thanks for doing this video on photographing in tricky situations. Beautiful birds and beautiful location. Thanks also for indicating which Proset you used with the photo. I am an avid user of Prosets so if you would continue to do this that would be great. Please continue to focus on bird photography rather than equipment reviews as this was a great vlog!
Hi Jan, I got the shivers when I heard you say you were getting your lens from the car while shooting in the forest! Exactly 3 years ago I had my camerabag with over 10k of equipment stolen from the car during a holiday on the isle of Tenerife... I was shooting with the 5D4 + EF600mm and had all the rest of my gear in the car, only 50 metres away...never again I can assure you!
@@jan_wegener Yeah that's fine its more a holiday with birding on the side - so whatever I get is a bonus. Will do landscapes and anything else that takes my eye which I do when I travel.
Wow, just loved this spectacular video! The stunning bird photography of truly amazing birds, and you always provide so much incredible information. Thanks so much! So glad you are back. Take care!
Great video Jan. Amazing shots. Your excitement at getting these images and clips is palpable and infectious. I'm going to push my iso now that I've seen this. 😊
Tripod and good technique or a lens with good Is like the 100-500 and also firing away so that you get a bunch of sharp shots in between the blurry ones
I really love the detailed explanations you provide behind the different choices you make in the field - it gives me a lot of things to think about in terms of how I can incorporate some of your suggestions into my own work.
Hi Jan, this is an informative video and a great location too. I use your Prosets and have loved it so much as it is a good starting point. So, what would be the best time to go to this location in order to photograph these birds?
Stunning footage and images Jan, the rifle bird has been on my list for many years also. Great to see you back out in your ' happy ' place doing what you do best !!!
That bird is an absolute giga chad
Sure is!
Great video mate, what a bird and some stunning shots. You did well in challenging conditions. I can't wait to visit that spot one day. Cheers, Duade 👍
Thanks mate! Would be fun to do a video together there
Both of you taking photos of a bird of paradise?
Can't wait 👍👍

Yes, being out there is great. Makes you forget everything else
I'm hearing you Claire.
Thanks! Great information!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing sound in video! Stereo sound of this forest is stunning. Well done Jan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sensational work Jan! Been waiting a while for this to come out. I’m a bit biased on the riflebird but have to say this has been the best episode. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks a ton!
Hey Jan, great video as always! With the ISO at 16,000 and 20,000, are you still shooting in CRAW? Those shots look amazing!!
Yes, mostly cRAW, although in these tough conditions RAW can have a slight benefit.
Jan, I am sure I am right in saying your videos keep all us going in places where the current weather isnt that great for Photography. So glad to see you looking better and back to what you love doing the best. Love the interaction between you and our subjects, must of taken ages teaching that Bird of Paradise to sit on your camera and look at the monitor! keep up the great work, many regards from your UK fans..
haha, yes! Lots of work, although not done by me but the owners of the property.
Fricking AMAZING! No other words can I find for this. Nice job Jan!
One of the most beautiful birds photos & videos I’ve seen…I meant in “tack sharp” in every aspect…BRAVO!!!👏👏👏
Hi Jan, so happy to see you are out and enjoying your photography again. I wish you good health and many more days like this.
Thank you!
Good to have you back, Jan! Great information and good to see you in the field again doing what you love. I can see the excitement in your eyes! Thank you!

This is amazing!! What a beautiful bird and live the shots. Didn't know I could use such a high Iso to this. Thank you for a gorgeous video
What a video, what a photos, what a species! All is soo good, congratz Jan!
Glad you enjoyed it!

F11 is certainly tough in the forest, but what you can get out of high iso images with a bit of editing is amazing
What a stunning bird. Stunning and cooperative, too. But you took advantage of this and provided a fantastic video. And thank you for all insights on how to approach such difficult light conditions.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful , Jan. Looks like video is better than still photo for this scenario. What lens/body/settings combination would give high quality frames that could be grabbed as stills?
You could film in 8k, but most frame would be blurry, unless you are using a much higher shutter speed and then the video may look funny.
Wow... Amazing photos and videos.. Jan... Keep doing the great work 👏👏👏
Thank you! Will do!
This is fantastic Jan!!!!!! Wonderful photography of this incredible birds!!!! Congrats, what a wonderful opportunity to photograph the brids of paradise, like a dream como true!!!!.

Yes good tip. One shot can help sometimes in these situations
Amazing and beautiful birds! Happy you are back Jan!
Yes they are!

Oh what a joy Jan !! Thanks for sharing such amazing experience !!
In the heart of Europe we have rain and forest .. but nothing remotely close to the magic you found in Queensland. Such a unique bird, truly awesome !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic pictures! Do you use teleconverters with your 100-500? Or is it better to crop and keep f/7.1 and quality of only the lens?
I sometimes do
Superb video with some outstanding photos Jan. And yes i live in Brazil, so much of my time i am in the rainforest photographing. And for sure the light is complicated there, so finding the right spot to photograph in is very important. Wishing you a great weekend, with a lot of joy.

Yes being in the right spot is crucial
Nice to see you back ❤
Thank you! 😃
Wow! That shot on the twisted perch is simply stunning!
I was stoked with it 😃
Stunning! The image at 10.14 with the two birds can that be ordered as a print/poster - i love it!
You can send me a message and we can work something out 😀
Very genuinely happy to see you out in the field again and having the best time!
This was from before I was sick, but I am much better again, now

Great to hear!
I’ve been waiting for these shots!
Awesomeness! Wish that I could have hiked with you today. what a haul!
Maybe one day!
Fantastic shots and processing. I notice your video is also showing almost no noise and I am wondering what you are processing your video with.
I use Davinci resolve studio, works very well
Hi Jan, glad to see you in the field again !! Recovery seems to be ongoing nicely.
I have one question: Did you have a converter attached while using the long 600mm lens ? It looked like it in the video.
Viele Grüsse aus Berlin und weiterhin gute Genesung, Jana
No, that’s was the RF-EF adapter
Jan, this was a FANTASTIC video! This helped bring several things together for me that I'd been struggling to understanding. It definitely filled-in some blind spots for me. I have the R7 and my high-ISO shots aren't nearly as clean, even with DXO Pure Raw 2. I'm guessing that's a lot to do with the R7's cropped sensor and the smaller pixels on the sensor. I also have the RF 100-500, but don't yet have a big prime like you have. So I don't yet have the luxury of being able to switch to a super telephoto prime that can gather more light.

Fantastic video, Jan. Stunning photography! What time of year is best to see these Riflebirds and where?
Probably July to October or so, Atherton Tablelands
@@jan_wegener Thank you very much for the information and taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!
Please keep the in the field videos coming. They are the best!

Hi Jan, I got the shivers when I heard you say you were getting your lens from the car while shooting in the forest!
Exactly 3 years ago I had my camerabag with over 10k of equipment stolen from the car during a holiday on the isle of Tenerife...
I was shooting with the 5D4 + EF600mm and had all the rest of my gear in the car, only 50 metres away...never again I can assure you!
That sucks! Not many options tho sometimes
Great video Jan. I am going to O'Reillys and Lamington next week. Will see how I go.
Great spot, but more quiet this time of the year
@@jan_wegener Yeah that's fine its more a holiday with birding on the side - so whatever I get is a bonus. Will do landscapes and anything else that takes my eye which I do when I travel.
Living the dream!! I'm so keen to see and photograph those birds of paradise one day. It looks like this location is set up for this?
The birds are there but it’s not set up for photography at all
Wow, just loved this spectacular video! The stunning bird photography of truly amazing birds, and you always provide so much incredible information. Thanks so much! So glad you are back. Take care!

Great video Jan. Amazing shots. Your excitement at getting these images and clips is palpable and infectious. I'm going to push my iso now that I've seen this. 😊
Yes you can push much further than most people think
Great job with nailing the images and the video. Really liked how you created the video today.
Thank you so much 😀
What a wonderful opportunity, I'm glad you had such a great day with these beautiful birds!
Thanks mate!
Excellent work, Jan!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful Bird! How are ale to get non- blurry shots at slow shutter speed?
Tripod and good technique or a lens with good Is like the 100-500 and also firing away so that you get a bunch of sharp shots in between the blurry ones

Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jan, this is an informative video and a great location too. I use your Prosets and have loved it so much as it is a good starting point. So, what would be the best time to go to this location in order to photograph these birds?
Glad you are enjoying them. Not entirely sure, maybe July to oct
@@jan_wegener Thank you!
Stunning shots mate. Another top notch production.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Jan and stunning photos. So the conclusion is to have both lenses: a tele-zoom and a prime 🙂
Yes, it’s the perfect combo for me
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always, keep up with the awesome content 🐦👍🤗
Thank you, I will
5:13 like it!
5:30 Amazing!
Did you use the EFCS or MS instead of ES, Jan? I heard the shutter sound.
