Tricks for Shorebird Photography
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2022
- I traveled from hours away to get shots of migrating shorebirds this Spring in a single morning. In order to get the shots I'm looking for, I'll need to use behavioral awareness and the Skimmer GroundPod to help assist me in capturing the shots. Hoping to tell great stories and capture a pinnacle image of a Snowy Plover with Morro Rock in the background, I set out on this wildlife photography adventure.

Your mystery fish that the vulture was eating is a Longnose Lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox). They live off the west coast, grow over 7 feet and live as deep as 6,000 feet.
That's super cool! Explains it's size, I was amazed. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea haha.
@@JeremyNeipp And that juvenile gull was a Glaucous-winged Gull
Nice. I built a skimmer pod from a frying pan for free and only cost me a spare bolt. Works great
I Liked this video... good Birding.
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing
Nice video! Best tips from this video GET LOW and GET UP EARLY.
Good summary 😎
Time to head towards the beach. Great video, really enjoyed it.
Glad it inspired you Albert! Hope you're able to get out there :)

Haha glad to have you anyways Marvin! Thanks for the encouragement :) shorebirds are super fun! I bet you have some pretty cool looking one's along the gulf!

Beautiful video. Congrats on such a wonderful experience
Thanks so much man! Was my own budget version of Alaska 😂
Amazing video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
Glad I'm not the only one to find Sanderlings so cool. They're the first shorebird I photographed here in the UK. Thanks for the inspiration to ☺️
Glad you were inspired! Hope you continue to find inspiration on the channel ☺️ Sanderlings are so cool no doubt 😎
Really enjoyed this! Thanks for the inspiration and for taking us along 😊

The video is really beautiful and I really like the view of this beach. Lots of shorebirds foraging in the morning. Thank you Jeremy for sharing this birding adventure.👍👍
Thanks Cheiko! Yes the beach is absolutely gorgeous and ideal in so many ways, I loved it so much. Hope you continue to enjoy! 🙌🏻
Great video Jeremy! Lovely narrative and footage!
Thanks so much Simon! 🙌🏻 I was fortunate to have so many incredible stories in one morning to share
Never seen anyone make turkey vultures look so good 😎
Thanks Ken 😍 haha I felt the same, usually they are weird to photograph haha
Excellent shots and storytelling 👏🏾
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
Great storytelling as always! Got my Panasonic Lumix G9 thanks to you! cheers, Marisa
Thanks Marisa! :) and that's awesome, hope you're enjoying it and it's what you were hoping for!
Omg Jeremy! First time watching you! I love the way you tell the story !!! Excellent work! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Lily! I appreciate the encouragement :) Hope you continue to enjoy the channel!
That's so awesome that you got the shot you were dreaming of! All of these are beautiful photos and videos.
Thanks so much Melani!! I felt super lucky to see it all and then get to capture what I wanted
Really great work. Thank you for sharing. Vultures are most fascinating for me. One day I will do a trio to the west coast to get a picture of the California Condor
So glad you enjoyed!! The California Condor is an incredible bird! Only have got to see it once but I’ll never forget it
I think you got to see a washed up Lancetfish! Very cool!
Another excellent video as well, really looking forward to the day I can get to some shore birds
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your thought on it, I don't know ocean wildlife at all lol. Thanks for the compliment too, hope you get to as well :)
Awesome and inspirational video! I’ve yet to try crawling to take some photos but seems like it’s worth it to get down and dirty.
So glad you found it inspiring! Yea it's a lot of work but it's so much more worth it when you see the results. Hope it encourages you to go for it!
Wow, enjoy being able to crawl along the sand like that! I've did it for miles at your age, but no longer. At age 71, the knees will not tolerate that stuff. I have to sit in a low beach chair now. Gear has improved more than a little, though.
Haha yea I can imagine! I’ll definitely take advantage of it in my youth haha. Glad you’re doing what you can with it though! 🙌🏻
What a great video, maybe one of my favorites of yours Jeremy! I also have a skimmer and love it! Good job man!
Thanks so much Wayne! I'm glad you enjoyed, it was definitely one of my favorites too :) and that Skimmer is awesome! I'm loving it recently haha
Solid pics Jer nice morning shoot, way to push through.
Thanks brotha!! 🙌🏻 glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video and story. Glad you got the shot you went for.
Thanks Rob! Super glad I got what I came for too ☺️🙌🏻 stay encouraged!
Although I've been out to MDOSP literally thousands of time, I enjoyed watching your vid. Nothing like crawling around in the sand to make you feel like you've been somewhere ;-) The natural preserve is a treasure and on some days, you can really feel the solitude and wildness. BTW, The rangers don't open up the day use area road until around 0800. Good travels.
That's awesome you're familiar with the place! I had never been there prior but as soon as I arrived I knew I was going to love that location. Like you said, it's gorgeous and feels like you're alone in nature, I only bumped into one person all 6 hours I was there. And yea I found that out upon arrival but didn't realize before haha. Good thing that other trail lead to it!
Your video was suggested in my TH-cam feed, and I'm really glad it was! I normally take landscape and portraits but after watching your video, I think I'll be heading down to my local beach over the summer. Subscribed and Thanks!
Glad to have you Morgan! Hope you enjoy doing some wildlife photography, definitely my favorite but occasionally I love to do landscapes as well :) hope you continue to enjoy the channel!
Beautiful work.
Thanks Ludwig!
Fantastic story my friend! Definitely have quite the knack for portraying your experience. Great images as well.
Thanks for the compliment man! ☺️🙌🏻 I was super excited about all those experiences I had and the photos I captured
Great Video, thanks for taken us with you. Greetings from nothern germany. 👍🙂
So Glad you enjoyed! ☺️🙌🏻
Congrats! That seemed like some great fun and was also fun to watch. :)
Thanks Martin! It was such a good experience, hopefully I’ll be back soon!
Great photos, storytelling & video! Who's behind the camera capturing footage of yourself photgraphing? Great footage!
Thanks so much! ☺️🙌🏻 my wife helps me capture it!
Great video I had a similar encounter in Scotland with the Ringed Plover awesome Jeremy thanks for sharing !
Must have been exciting! Was definitely a memorable experience for me :)
@@JeremyNeipp Yes, you never know what to expect ! I was expecting to photograph Gannets, with 7ft wing spans and ended up with a small Wader ! Don't you just love it ! Amazing
Wonder story and pictures buddy. Well done. Best regards, Guy.
Thanks so much man! Glad you enjoyed :)
Rally nice content dude. You came away with some great shots there. Nice editing on the video too!
Thanks so much man! Worked hard on it for 3 weeks haha, glad you enjoyed! ☺️
Nice video, I made my ground pod from an old frying pan. Really works fine with my 300mm & 600mm prime lenses.
Thank you! ☺️🙌🏻 yea I love that thing
Well done!
Thanks Mike!!
Great story telling. Beautiful video. 🍻
Thank you so much! Hope you continue to enjoy the channel ☺️🙌🏻
I've just come across your channel Jeremy but have subscribed with pleasure!
I use a similar ground plate (I won't name it ) and they make a HUGE difference to low level photography.
Glad to have you Graham! Hope you continue to enjoy the channel :) and yea ground plates are just awesome and super helpful, make it way easier haha
I'm in the UK and with the exception of the Turkey Vulture those birds are all on my local beach here.
Jeremy, do a macro photography. 🙏🥳
Haha maybe! We will see, not really my thing but maybe someday
Wooow man.....this is some seriusly respect man.....loved this video just Wooow......cheers mate.....🙏🍻
Thanks man!! Appreciate the encouragement :) hope you continue to enjoy the channel!
Could be a pacific barracuda that was washed up
So I’ve heard! Apparently a fisherman told me that’s what he thought it was. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
very cool video
Thanks so much Sean!!
Hi Jeremy. Nice vídeo. In hour opinion wich better dslr long Lens (150/200 - 600) for widlife and sports photography ? Thanks. Neste regards
This is great! For some reason i hate taking pictures of shorebirds haha, but im gonna try to get better at those shots, especially since basically all we have in the bay is shorebirds and waterfowl 😂
Haha that's funny, sounds like you're in the wrong place lol. Using the Skimmer Ground Pod made my experience so much more enjoyable that's for sure!
This is inspirational. How were you able to capture all the nice B-roll of yourself in a rush?
Glad it inspired you! ☺️ I have someone helping me film all my videos!
this is also my question 😂 glad you answered it. like its hard to film that way if you are alone.
Very nice . Mask is for camouflage , correct ?
In some scenarios yes! However, on this morning is was more for the sake of keeping me warm haha.
Do you get sand in your gimbal when shooting like this? I am thinking of picking up a skimmer but not sure if I should go with a cheap gimbal since it might get ruined by sand. If sand is not a big problem I’d rather go for a nicer gimbal like the Winberley or ProMedia Katana Jr. what is your experience?
Because of the Skimmer, it was keeping sand from getting on it. The skimmer is really well balanced and grounded so that it won’t fall over which Is awesome. So personally, i feel safe using it in these situations always
@@JeremyNeipp Thank you Jeremy!
Why do you zoom the lens as it’s a tripod leg ??
Which camera and lens did you use in this video
Panasonic S1R and Sigma 150-600mm Sport. I have reviews of them both on my channel if you ever want to see what I think of them
Nice work and video... but where are the tricks for shorebird photography??
Why the mask? It's not like it makes you invisible to birds :) Seems a little silly. Cool adventure. I can only imagine how satisfyingly easy it must be to be able to photograph birds without waiting for hours on end in a hide or under a camo net. Where I live it is virtually impossible. I guess these guys are pretty used to people walking along the beach or something.
Cause it keeps me warm lol, what’s silly about that? But this area definitely is easier than most I frequent that’s for sure
