Thank you everyone who supports the channel! I can't wait to keep improving the videos and finding new wildlife. Next week I'll be sharing a Herping video where we went out searching for salamanders and frogs! Happy Birding!
Great shots and great enthusiasm, congrats on 10K.
Thanks, Stefan!
Happy birthday, Stefano! My wife and I enjoy your channel a lot, and we've learned a lot from you. We've recently made our backyard a popular resort for local birds, following your advice. I wanted to add that one very special thing about your channel is the welcoming, friendly mood you bring into your videos. You do a wonderful job of sharing your knowledge without ever looking down on your audience.
That's great to hear, thank you for sharing! Have you been keeping a species list of your visitors? Hopefully you keep attracting more and more 🙂
@@StefanoIaniro Yes, my wife has a growing list on e-Bird. We're in Florida, so the backyard species are limited. In three weeks we've had three mourning doves, two pairs of tufted titmice, several pairs of blue jays, a couple of northern cardinals with a juvenile, carolina wrens, chickadees, a shy parula, a house finch, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers, and crows. This afternoon we had a couple of pileated woodpeckers visiting, but not for the feeders. I got this shot of one: instagram.com/p/CDzeAguBGD6/
Thanks for the video. Beautiful bird pics.
Your overall attitude and passion in the videos is contagious. Thank you for such an amazing, quality content.
The photo of the eastern kingbird at 11:33 is my favorite. The color of the light is beautiful and despite of the strong backlight, the exposure on the bird is good. I totally agree with what you said in another video, the blown-out backlight is not a bad thing necessarily, just like shown in that photo.
Your demeanour makes it very easy to support you.
Happy, happy birthday 💙💙💙💙
Love it! Great video Stefano!
Thanks so much, Thomas! Glad you enjoyed 😀
Congratz Stefano....you are one my favourite wildlife youtuber....keep that smile always on your face....and keep posting these awesome videos...
Rusty?! Did you say RUSTY?!! You've got to kidding! Beautiful footage und pictures, well done!
Man I really enjoy your videos! I find them really enjoyable and easy to watch! You are one of the main reasons why I started getting into bird photography and after seeing your review about the 200-600 I finally bought it! So thank you! Haha
I hope you're enjoying the lens! Very glad you're liking the videos!
Happy birthday and congratulations! Awesome shots!
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
Happy Birthday and thanks for an inspiring video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Happy Birthday and thanks for your great videos. I'm glad that you shook off the rust. 😀
Haha thank you, Raymond!
First of all, happy birthday and congratulations on 10k! Second of all, as a little bit of an update on my comment earlier this summer about my attempt to get enough money for an A7iii with a 200-600mm lense. I didn't quite make it, I'm a few hundred short, but I'm still inspired and I'm trying to find a job on the weekends now that school has started and I can't work during the week. I'll get there, and I can't wait! Seeing you birding with that lense makes me want it even more, amazing images!
Thank you! And keep putting in the work, it makes it that much sweeter. Can't wait to hear about what you do with this lens!
Love watching your videos, also happy birthday!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them 🙂
Loved this and all your visitors! I have a small suburban yard so I set up a perch and bird bath with the same solar pump you have . The chipping sparrows love it so far .
Enjoyed what felt like a day in the country watching this! Thanks for labeling the birds and insects....always something to learn :). Happy Bday and congratulations on hitting 10K!
Thanks so much, Sandra! Hoping to make it out there again at some point this summer!
nice video keep it up👍😍wish the best of luck success happiness health and wealth toeveryone who reads this🙏🙏🙏

Happy birthday! And congrats on your subscriber count. I subscribed recently because I absolutely love your enthusiasm.
Thank you! And I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos!
👏🏻👏🏻nice! Food job Stef!!!!👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks buddy!!
Beautiful video, thanks.
Welcome back Stefano and congrats on the 10k. Stunning images, you always have amazing bird images but was really cool to see your macro work today ❤️ that 90mm lens looks so good
Thank you! I'll try to incorporate more and more macro into the videos. So much fun. The 90 is great! I'm also wanting to try high magnification macro...that would be a new challenge. 😁
@@StefanoIaniro that would be cool to see you do more macro and higher magnification would be epic. I guess the Laowa 2.5-5x would be the best option, I believe they do an FE version for Sony 😊
nIcE
Thank you!
Hey just found your channel. I’ve been doing the same thing- slow-no birds and insects. Obsessed. What an awesome job you are doing. I am love your work- was a joy to watch!
Thank you so much ,this video wads amazing ,being here in Canada is really a god sent ,stay safe
Glad you enjoyed!! Stay safe!
Congrats on the 10,000 subs, well deserved. Those Macro images were amazing and some great tips. Really must get out there and do some macro photography myself and if my results are half as good I will be happy. Cheers Keith
Thank you! I wish you luck with the macro shots. The key is taking a bunch of images - keeper rates are low with such small subjects.
Awesome work on your 10,000 subs! Keep it up and 10,000 more will follow I am sure. Having access to an orchard is such a treat!!
Thanks so much! It definitely has been a huge help, especially with all the lockdowns and park closures the past few months.
Beautiful
Happy Birthday! I am looking forward to the next videos from you and hope that you got a big birthday cake. 🥳
Thank you! And yes I did, ice cream cake 😅
happy birthday and congratulation. your channel taught me lot of things!🥳 recently subscribed but i have to say, i really enjoy your content. keep going!
That means a lot, thank you!!
Wow, I bet you wished you could have stayed there a few more days, what a lovely location for birding and macros. Your macro work is wonderful you should do more videos with macro :) Congrats on reaching 10K subs, I don't remember even look at your sub-count before and just imagined it had been over 100K. You have a great channel!
Thank you so much! My next video will be salamander/frog macro photography 😀 That means a lot, thanks! Maybe one day I'll reach 100k!
Indeed you will! Looking forward to seeing your next one :)
Awesome video and happy 10 thousand subs 📸🎉🙌
Happy birthday and keep it up. Love the Chanel
it's always the great TH-camrs who don't get enough subs... you deserve more
Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you! 😀
Best wishes and congrats! Hope to see more of your videos!
Looks like you are in Poland so I hope you will do more videos with birds in our beautiful country! Stay safe!
Thank you! I'm actually in Canada. My girlfriends family is Polish though. Would love to visit one day!
@@StefanoIaniro so that's why I did not know those birds! I thought that you are in some strange region in Poland ;) you must visit Poland one day! All the best!
I'm generally not a fan of vlogs, but you're doing it right. :) I very much enjoyed hearing about your thought process and seeing the nice cinematography. Congrats on the 10k and keep up the great work!
So glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much 🙂
Beautiful video Stefano! Lookinf forward to all the new ideas you got :)
Thank you! Excited to share 🙂
En primer lugar Feliz cumpleaños, felicidades igualmente por el número de suscriptores y bienvenido de nuevo, ya te echaba de menos por estos lares. Esperaremos vídeos recientes y si me permites sugerirte un trabajo si es posible con las aves playeras. Un saludo
Thanks so much, Abel! I would love to do some shorebird work. I'll need to find some good locations for them. Don't have too many nearby.
Happy birthday. I'm too afraid of bugs to get that close... Also wanted to add it is so fun to learn a birds comfort level.
Thank you! And that's why having a longer macro lens comes in handy!
Congrats, on 10k, Stefano! Glad to see the new vid man, keep ‘em coming! I have almost the same exact rig. 📷 Thanks for including the photo diffuser link, I’ll pick it up. 😉
Thank you! Hope you're enjoying the rig. The diffuser makes a world of difference for macro photography!
NICE!
Thank you 😀
Great captures Stef, congratulations on the achievement 🤩✌🏼
Thanks so much 🙂
Great video! Hope you had a fantastic birthday. Please tell me about the camo cover over your camera and lens. Secondly, when are you visiting South Africa again?
Another great video! This is one of the best TH-cam content creators, such an honest and passionate person.
Are you still happy with your a7r IV? I am thinking about buying it with the 200-600m mostly for larger wildlife in BC but a bit concerned about lowlight performance as most of the action is early or late in the day. Thanks.
Great video as always bro! You went two months without touching your camera? I don't think I've gone one day without touching my camera in three years lol! I think I might be obsessed. There's always good useful information and interesting features and entertainment in your videos without a lot of unnecessary splashy production or loud music so you deserve and earned the growth your channel is getting. Congratulations for the 10,000 subscribers! Be safe and best of luck to you and happy shooting!
Yeah, it was brutal! I did 12 hour days/7 days a week, all summer. So very little time for extracurricular activities haha. I'll need to make up for it now! And thanks so much, that really means a lot 😀
Happy Birthday! You deserve everyone of your viewers for such a great content!
That means a lot, thank you 😀
Happy Birthday, Stefano! And congratulations on over 10k subscribers! You absolutely deserve it. Glad to be apart of your subscriber base
Happy to have you! Thank you 🙂
happy birthday stefano
Thank you!!
Happy birthday and congratulations on 10K+ subscribers! I'm one of them, and maybe I subscribed on your birthday! Is this video from Montreal/eastern Canada? Just guessing from the eastern kingbird & eastern bluebirds. Also, do you switch between shooting video and photographing the birds, or do you have two cameras, one for video & the other for photos? I've only been birding/photographing them for three years and I've already learned a lot from you! Thanks and hello from Maine! Cindy
Thanks so much! Yes, this video is from Montreal. I usually use one camera to take photos and videos. Sometimes I'll swap out the camera body I'm using between the a7RIV and a7III. So happy to hear you're learning from the channel, thank you!
@@StefanoIaniro and you convinced me to use eBird from your other video. I was intimidated by it and had no idea the computer-version was so robust. Looking forward to learning more from eBird and your videos. Thanks!
Happy Birthday!
Thank you 🙂
I love your channel! I knew you’d make it big!
Thanks so much buddy!
Happy birthday may god bless u , and Happy birding :)
Thanks so much! 🙂
Happy birthday 🎂 🎉
Thanks buddy! 😀

belated happy birthday
Thank you 🙂
Happy birthday Stefano! Loved the video. Cheers to 10k!🥂 Keep it up.
Thank you, Katrina! 🙂
You are awesome
Dating a Polish chick eh? Sry couldn't resist, and as always awesome video to watch. You just can't help it but walk away with a smile.
Hahaha yup! 😃 Thank you!
Happy birthday
Thank you 😄
Happy Birthday Stefano!
Thank you!!
Happy belated birthday :) Have you ever visited presquil park in Brighton Ontario?
Long time no see and welcome back! Happy birthday to you!
Thanks so much!
Hey I’m new here, but I’d like to say that your photos are awesome. I have a Sony A7Riv too, but I struggle to get my images to be as sharp as yours turn out. I try to run over 1/400 shutter speed and that’s got me better results, but is a lot of your images sharpened in post or generally decent out the camera? Again, great work, I’ve watched about 6 of your videos so far and keep it up!
Hey! Thanks so much, that means a lot! For my photos in my TH-cam videos, I try to minimize the amount of sharpening I do. I edit photos differently depending on the platform I'm uploading them to. It also depends which lens I'm using. For example, that 90mm macro from Sony is so dang sharp, that adding any heavy sharpening would be overkill IMO. I had some great light in this video for the birds, which also helps in getting sharper shots!
@@StefanoIaniro good light = lower iso + higher shutter speeds?
Nice
We’re you looking to say dust off the cobwebs.? Love the tips but I find insects don’t stay on flowers long enough to change the light around them, could think about putting in some shade though 😀
Haha, that saying would have made more sense!
Wow, what a setting! Birding at your girlfriend’s orchard! You are one lucky dude! I hope you wrapped the day up sipping on some fine wine! Enjoy!
Hey, do you take Avery single picture ate 6.3? Most other photographers I know stick to F8. 6.3 is wide open in your case right? So not the sharpest aperture? Also, at 600mm how much do you crop? Do you mind showing the raw before the edited images? I am really wondering how much each image is cropped.
Hey! Yeah, I definitely shoot at f/6.3 majority of the time. It's not as sharp as f/8, but it's still very good. With the a7RIV I'm always trying to get the lowest ISO possible, which often means shooting wide open. I'm hoping to do some more in-depth editing videos this fall/winter :)
Can you please guide on the camouflage clothing and mask you're using?? From where to purchase and which brand they are??
Happy birthday~
Thank you 😁
This is late but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉
Thanks so much!
Hi Stefano. Greetings from India and Congratulations for your 20K. :)
Can you please help me with the flash diffuser model and dimensions (the one that you used for the macro photos at 04:37)? I see that you have shared a link in the description, but the landing base does lead to the product, here in India.
Are you hand holding the camera with one hand if you’re holding the flash?
I am curious as well?love the shoot,good job🙏👍😍
Hey, yes I'm holding the camera in one hand and the flash in the other. I usually will attach a camera strap so that I can let go of the camera whenever I'm not using it. I also will sometimes use it on a tripod. Going handheld is just easier since I can easily adjust my position as the insects move. Using a tripod can be frustrating if you need to keep adjusting the height
Stefano Ianiro Wildlife wow you should do a video demonstrating that skill... that’s almost impossible ... if so you’re Superman
Hey Stefano, the diffuser link isn't working - would love to know what type you have and where I can get one :) Thanks so much for everything you do.
Ugh, that link keeps breaking. I don't think they make that model anymore. It's a Neewer Flash Softbox, with two layers of diffusion. From what I'm seeing, it looks like they only have the smaller one with only one layer.
@@StefanoIaniro :) thank you for checking it out. I think I found something that’ll work! By the way you should visit Australia one day!
I'm wondering, why would you use iso 800 with a flash? Can't you go all the way down to 100 ? (surely you're not at full power of your flash)
If anybody knows I'd be curious to hear the answer :) Thx!
Yeah I definitely could have gone to ISO100, it's just how I use my flash. In the daytime, I only like to use flash as fill flash. So what I do is I expose the scene normally in camera (as if I wasn't using flash), and then I just kick in a small amount of fill flash to bring out some detail in the shadow of the insect. So when I exposed for the image normally without flash, it brought me to ISO 800. Hope this helps! 🙂
@@StefanoIaniro That makes total sense, didn't even think of that, thanks for the explanation :)
shake off the dust, knock of the rust :)
I like that better! haha
First 😀😀
Hope you enjoyed 😄
What size softbox is that ?
It's a 9 inch x 9 inch 🙂
Dust off the cobwebs.
Happy birthday
Thank you!
