The most helpful video
Thanks so much, Mark! You do an excellent video with great tips for us bird-loving photographers. I hope to keep improving in my photography adventures.
Thanks so much Gail! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words very much!
Mark this is worth so much. Full photography course in under 12 min. Well done!
Thanks so much Kobus! Really appreciate that.
Learning here is amazing. Shooting birds in flight is very difficult.
Thanks so much for watching. Hope you found some useful tips!
Hi Mark. Wow! What an informative video. I found the section on white birds very useful new information. Enjoy your trip to Kruger
Hi Garnet, thanks so much for the comment. I’m glad you found the tips on the white birds useful. Trip has started a bit quiet, no great photos yet, but I’m only 1 day in. 😊
Mark another great video , your way of explaining things is so clear and precise look forward to the next one cheers
I really appreciate that, thanks so much!
Thanks Mark, another great video, always helpful
I really appreciate that, thanks so much!
I am slowly transitioning to bird/landscape photography (away from weddings/dogs) and this will definitely help me a lot, especially with my Nikon D750's who are a bit slow for burst shooting. I will have to study my subject better to compensate :-) Thx for the instructions.
Hi Johan, my pleasure. Reply here if you have any questions 😊
Great video Mark, thanks for uploading and all the tips. 😊
Thanks so much! Hope you found some value in the video 😊🙏🏻
The pre-capture feature on the Canon R5II makes it so much easier.
Pre Capture does make it so much easier, we have it on the Nikon Z8 too, but only in jpg. Do you have pre capture RAW on the R5II?
As always…super informative! Very considerate to include settings for other brands.
Thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment. Appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing all these tips, they are quite useful.
My pleasure, thanks so much for watching.
I learned new photography techniques from this video. Thanks for sharing. A big LIKE from Singapore. 👍🔔
Thank you so much for letting me know! Appreciate that a lot.
Great content. Well presented. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
Great video. Simple and practical, good work. A question, which AF focus Area do you normally use on the Z8 for the Kingfisher shot?? ie: Wide Area Large, Auto Area AF, 3D tracking? Thanks.
Thanks so much for the comment! For that shot I used a custom sized auto area AF with bird detection. The custom area is just a bit smaller than the entire frame. For take offs like that you can also just use single point af, place it on the bird, focus, and then you’re set for the take off and don’t need to focus again (given that the bird flies parallel to you). I do advise still using some sort of tracking (3d can work well) for take offs, as the bird might fly slightly towards you and need to track it to maintain sharp focus on it. Hope that helps 😊
@@MarkDumbleton Thanks very much. I normally use Wide Area AF C2 19X11 with Bird Detect for birds where I live.
Great explanation Mark ! I use a Canon R5 and love its auto focus .. really powerful stuff ! These new cameras now are a game changer for many experienced or inexperienced photographers . Appreciate your efforts you put into your channel !
Thanks so much for the comment and for watching! I’ve heard great things about the R5, superb AF! It really does make capturing really challenging images a bit easier. I appreciate the kind words at the end of the comment, really enjoying sharing the info!

Wishing you the very best for your future ahead . I look forward to watching much more from you , stay humble and continue whatever you are doing . I always say “ You will always be successful if you have the love for whatever it is you do , that will always be your strength ! One must enjoy what they do and do it for the right reasons !

That means a lot to me thank you! I love wildlife photography, and have done my whole life, and absolutely love creating content and teaching people the art of wildlife photography. Comments like yours help motivate and inspire me to keep doing what I’m doing!
@@MarkDumbleton I have been a wildlife photographer since 2014 but always had a camera since very young . I love wildlife period , I also do landscape photography which combined with wildlife is the way to vision your creativity , I always have said and advised many people learning about photography .. learn landscape photography first then get into wildlife photography later , this develops your creativity when it comes to composition and including the animals habitat and surroundings to complement the entire scene to give it interest , positioning oneself is critical to capture the light and the composition with all the elements combined to create that powerful image . Composition rules over light in my opinion, then comes light . Combination of the two you end up with something spectacular . But patience is key and timing .
Mark, I used back button focus when I had a DSLR camera. When I switched to mirrorless, I stopped using back button focus. Do you recommend it for mirrorless camera use as well?
Thanks so much for the comment. I do advise everyone use back button autofocus simply for 1 reason… if you apply focus to the shutter button you need to focus every time you take a photo. If you apply focus to the back button and remove focus from the shutter button you don’t need to focus when you press the shutter button. I like this because I can pre focus using back button, and then shoot with shutter button separately. Hope that makes sense. I’ve got a video coming soon about back button autofocus 😊
Everything is perfect in this video but the blue ring bothering me😅
Thanks so much for the comment. Sorry about the blue ring. Hope you found the info in the video useful at least,
