    I don't shoot a lot of "traditional" wildlife photography (although I hope to in Banff this spring) what I do shoot a local Osprey a lot as well as Aviation. From a methodology point of view, I think that there are a lot of similarities with wildlife photography. I grew up shooting film where ISO (or ASA back then) was a constant, not a variable, so I never even thought of setting it to auto until I asked someone at the Osprey nest what his set up was. Since then, for photography where I will have to react instantly, I use the following as My basic set up: I put the camera to Manual, Shutter Speed to freeze the action (typically 1/1000 or 1/1250 second). I set the Aperture to the fastest that the lens is. (If the lens is a variable aperture such as my 200-600mm f 5.6-6.3, I will set it to the fastest f stop. If I zoom out to where it is f6.3, then the lens will only shoot at f6.3 but it will make that adjustment automatically. When I zoom back to 200mm, it will set the aperture back to f5.6.) I set the ISO to Auto and let it adjust. Finally, I will set the exposure compensation to what I need to get the shot. (Over expose if shooting against a clear blue sky for instance.)
    One final thought. You talk about the importance for the animal to be sharp. I like to think of wildlife photography when I do it like shooting a model. If the eye isn't sharp, then the picture isn't sharp. The eye is EVERYTHING.

      R Hogarth I couldn't agree more. For wildlife, shutter speed and depth of field are the two most important variables. Focus is a given. So I use auto ISO almost all the time, especially when the light is iffy.

    If I'm taking wildlife shots I use shutter priority with auto ISO. I can use a slower shutter speed if the animal stops and then easily change if starts moving taking advantage of the ISO. If I also want a larger depth of field because for example I'm pretty close to the subject I'd use manual mode with auto ISO. One of my all time favourite shots is a kingfisher taken at 1/1000 and the ISO went to 10,000. The quality isn't great but the moment it captured with the beak just hitting the water and bird reflected is pretty special to me.

    I like that shot of the rocks in the water. The north shore of Long Island has a lot of glacial erratic boulders along the beach. I've shot similar images along the coast of Maine and Long Island this year.

    High ISO noise isn't the problem if you have the *Signal* to back it up. I was ISOphobic for the longest time until I figured that out. Now I'm only phobic about *underexposed* images. If the image needs 12,800 to properly expose it, to push that histogram to the right... then I'm there. Low ISO is good, but proper exposure is way way WAY more important than having a low ISO.

    I hold a custom button to toggle between a moving and stationary shutter speed on aperture priority, nice trick that gives you a little flexibility to squeeze some more quality out of the shot. Thanks for the video :D

    Took a trip to the Galapagos back in 2004....before camera phones existed and 6mp digital cameras cost an arm and a leg. I ended up with 15 disposable cameras and all the film came out foggy/blurry. I made the rookie mistake of having them in my checked luggage... Still have the memories though...Definitely want to return someday

    I'm trying to get more comfortable with jacking up my ISO, but struggled because I was using an entry level Canon. The noise from that camera beyond 1600 was horrible.
    I've just upgraded to a better camera and I feel like I won't panic when I need to use a higher ISO.

    As well as the star ratings how do you use the five colour ratings?

    • @BrendanvanSon
      @BrendanvanSon  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't. I probably should. Maybe as niche (portrait, landscape, wildlife) portfolio emails.

    • @R.Hogarth
      @R.Hogarth 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do use the colour ratings but in kind of an unorthodox way. If I take a break in my editing, I will colour code the last image that I edited Red and the first one that I will need to begin with as Green. That way, there is no doubt where to start after my break. Once I begin again, I remove the colour from both of them. (Simply, Red is Stop. Green is Go.)

    • @JohnDrummondPhoto
      @JohnDrummondPhoto 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Paul Howcroft I use color coding when shooting panos (especially if I'm bracketing). That way I know which photos go to which pano, especially if I edit in multiple sessions so I know where I left off or if I want to re-do it.

      If you sit on a beach and something comes to you, you can't do much about it. No one was approaching animals. But you can't account for curious animals. You sometimes just need to sit still, and not be disruptive.

      @@BrendanvanSon I understand it's difficult, but check out rule 4 on Galapagos.org "Maintain a distance of at least six feet (two meters) from wildlife to avoid disturbing them, even if they approach you." So perhaps if it happens, best not put it in your video, since you can play an important role in educating others.
