Well done Sabine. You folks offer a great service with your tutorials. Though I have been photographing animals and wildlife for many years I think that it is critical to never forget the basics. You do that so well! I always look forward to your next video.

very helpful, very clear, thank you very much!!
I am happy to hear that and thanks for taking the time to give some feedback!
👍👍👍💗💗💗
Really useful, and helpful with inspiration. thank you
Thanks Sabine, Well done, great tips which I certainly want to try when I join the photo safari in mid Nov.
There is so much good information in this video. I’m going to have to watch it three or four more times just to absorb it all. Thank you so much for all this detail and the great explanation you gave for each.
Best discussion I've seen on creative techniques. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks so much ;) -Sabine
Excellent - so concise and to the point.
Thank you Duncan, that is great to hear! -Sabine
Fantastic introduction to this topic, well done!
Another branch of our family had a tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve. This video was my Christmas Eve present. I tend to like low key photos and your examples were delightful. I also like high key photos and your examples were delightful. I too have a lot of blurry shots, but few of them were intentional, so you would rightfully disqualify them. Some people might spend years at a community college to earn a certificate, or they could watch this video, spend the money in Southern Africa, and become famous. When I was that young, I wish I was that wise. Merry Christmas, and thanks for your gift.
Excellent tips with outstanding shots.
That is nice to hear. Thanks for the feedback ;)
Excellent high quality video as per usual
Great tips (and pictures). It's adding life to stills.
Nice to heart that Andre. Thank you for leaving a comment ;) -Sabine
i loved...
Awesome! Thanks so much ;) -Sabine
Excellent video. I’ll watch this again before my next trip.
Hi Alan. Always good to refresh the mind before a trip. Glad if it can help ;)
Stunning, well explained and thanks Sabine.. :-)
Thank you Vincent. Nice to hear that is was easy to understand as it can be quite a complex topic ;) -Sabine
Excellent, easy to understand tutorial Sabine. Some great shots as examples as well : )
Thank you Brian. Glad you found it useful and easy to understand ;) -Sabine
Thank you, always wonderful tips and tricks🙂
You are so welcome!
Once more a very informative and high interesting video with helpful tips, Sabine! Kind regards, Thomas
I've never been a fan of the blurred photos as an art form. The creative lighting was an excellent presentation and reminded me of a few things I had forgotten. As always a excellent video by one of my favorite teachers.
Happy clicks and best wishes!
Thank you very much Guy and happy shooting to you too ;) -Sabine
Beautiful shots and very informative video…Thank you
Brilliant video - very easy to understand and a new technique for me to try - darker background initially. Once again Sabine you have 'nailed it'
Nice to hear I could teach you a new technique. Happy shooting and thanks for the comment Brian ;) -Sabine
Brilliant Sabine, very very good explained and easy understandable - great :-)
Thanks Marco, glad you liked it ;)
Excelente vídeo, muy hermoso y bien realizado. Lo recomendare en mi pagina de facebook. Felicitaciones.
Muchas gracias ;)
Brilliant video Sabine! I'm taking a few notes for my next safari next week.
Hi Ghislaine. I hope you can use the tips...where are you going? Have fun ;) -Sabine
A very very helpful vlog thank you . Saved and booked marked.
Great! Thank you very much Chris ;) -Sabine
Awesome...Great tutorial. learn a lot
Very nice to hear! Thank you for taking the time and leaving your feedback ;) -Sabine
Great to have all of these tips in one video. I've watched allot of you're videos and talks and now it's in a nice bite size. 👍( Maybe a video that goes a little more in to detail of the postprocessing would be a big help, )
some photos that i thought I ruined but under / over exposing in the past i can now bring to life. Thanks again for sharing all of the inspiring images.
Thanks Jasper! I'll keep the post processing video in my mind ;) -Sabine
Great tips! I’m going to write them down and try and practice being more creative! I’m usually so focused on trying to get the subject I leave the creativity until post!
Thank you and definitely do it!!! I know one gets easily caught up in the moment but once you have your safe "normal" shots try something different ;) -Sabine
Great video. Well thought ideas, put together, shot and presented in pleasant manner. Really well done Sabine 👏👏
Hi Calvin. Thank you very much for watching and your nice feedback. It is very much appreciated ;) -Sabine
Thank you this is a very helpful video and very well explained
Thanks Natasha. Glad you found it helpful and easy to understand. Enjoy experimenting ;) -Sabine
Great job Sabine... Lovely video... See you on the 16th :-p
Thanks so much Tim. We are looking forward to see you and Yvonne ;)
Very nice.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment ;)
Unless you are very lucky, all high shutter speed animal and bird shots have been done before and probably not anything unusual. Using these techniques will (when we get it right) will result in unique images that will be attributed to the photographer's skills and style.
Exactly! Thank you Dave for pointing it out again ;) -Sabine
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰👏📷🥰
Some marvelous images in that video I was wondering if using those custom settings for wildlife would be helpful, I never hear them being mentioned in nature videos?
Very well done. I read somewhere that for panning you have to match the shutter speed with the speed of the moving subject ie if the subject is moving 20 miles an hour you can use a shutter speed of 1/20. Not sure how accurate the statement is though.
Great tips. It will take some practice for me to get a decent photo ( if ever) panning at some of those shutter speeds you mention. Nice vid.
Hehe, don't worry you won't be alone and like you might have heard before...the more you practice the luckier you get ;)
@@PangolinWildlife Luckier? Haha, I'll take it!
Wonderful tips in a jiffy but I also want to know the minimal equipment required for wildlife of the kind presented here!! The pushing and pulling through the Zoom range requires a lot of practice and I want to know if the technique is possible with screw zooms.
Thank you for your feedback and questions. The push and pull method works great on a 100-400mm zoom lens and both ring zoom and pull zooms work for it ;)
I love your motion blur image of the Carmine Bee-eater! Fantastic! Are your images available for purchase somewhere?
Hello Hugh. I must say it probably is my favorite motion blur so far as these birds are super fast and difficult to capture. I do sell images on request and you can view them on my social media accounts (facebook.com/sabine.pangolinphoto or instagram.com/sabine_stols). If you are interested email me at sabine@pangolinphoto.com and we can set a price ;) -Sabine
I suggest you warn photographers to be very careful to not permanently damage their eyesight when shooting into the sun. Using live view is best. Irreversible retinal damage can happen in fractions of a second. Maybe you could find an eye doc to help you make a video on eye safety for photographers. Your videos are very good. Thanks for these videos. I love Botswana, going again soon.
Is there a 2022 photo challenge?
hello Sabina. Can i use your video for my online class?
can i do it(lowkey and highkey) with a cropsensor camera(1500d)?
Of course! You just need to be careful when strongly overexposing (high key) as the ISO usually increases a lot. Keep the aperture then wide open and reduce the shutter speed as much as possible to keep the ISO and therefore image noise in check ;) Hope this makes sense! -Sabine
