Thank you for the tips! Do you have any for how to get birds that mostly sit on branches? All i can get are belly shots
@icaadanne1
Love your videos, I learn something every time, or start thinking in different ways, I would even say that I have become a better hobby photographer thanks to your videos:)⭐
@beaver-man
Simon, I reaalla love amd highly appreciate what you're doing and sharing with us all. But there's something small I wonder about: This video has the subtitle "wildlife phonography tip". I wonder. Phono means sound, and photo is something different. Do you agree? Please let us know. Thank you.
@world_with_me
Sir in my camera I don't have any birds or animal eye tracker, it's online support human eye tracking. Any idea or tricks, that how i can use that under my favor ❤

Hello Simon, thanks for providing theses excellent videos. Recently, I bought a Sony F4 600mm lens. I was told by a friend to always shoot fully open at aperture F4 when you have a prime lens. Sometime, when the light is very good to shoot BIF, should I go to F5,6 to get better sharpness and DoF or stick at F4? Thanks again.
@creyetivemedia
Thanks a lot for this valuable information. What about when a bird is on branches like you showed at the beginning of the video. Do I bring a ladder? :-)
@warrenwilcock8183
Hey Simon, are you using two cameras for video and stills? Or are you switching from video to stills in the same session? I often get anxious choosing to be in either video or stills mode for fear of missing the moment.

I have a picture of a white stock unfortunately no pictures on YouTube comments section. But I took it against the blue sky with some white clouds and the sun against the background illuminating the bird's white wings. So some shots can be taken from low to high with great results. It's all about timing and composition.

I've noticed over the years that good advice from successful professionals always seems like common sense and not dark magic, but in most cases we never think of it ourselves! Great tips, thank you Simon.

Fourthly, lying down can make your subject feel a little more at ease with you being there and will often mean your silhouette isn't breaking out above whatever the background is so you blend into the background better... I carry an old groundsheet (folds up to under 1ft square) and a bean bag (mine is about half filled with polystyrene balls, super light yet lifts the lens nicely about an inch above whatever it's placed on) with me as a do a lot of my wildlife photography lying or sitting down. I don't mind getting muddied up but spending a day in wet clothes isn't a great idea, hence the groundsheet. Great tips Simon and all the best.
@Twobarpsi
One tip I do for all photography is bring a very short foldable stool. It is only 10" high, and makes getting lower perspective photos easier than trying to crouch down!

I found you on YouTube by accident… No matter… I have been taking photos as a hobby for ever I am 75 yr old male using my friends comments… just to let you know that I re-learn photography from YOU since 2023… thank you !!!!
@Notevenone
You pack amazing tips in such a short video. To the point and love after you describe a shot you show the result. Thank you
@jefferyrobbins3468
Thank you for these tips! Have you ever considered covering on your channel how to get excellent quality prints from a photo lab with minimal trial and error? I'm finding it to be very frustrating. I understand the technical issues involved but I want solutions. I want the image to look as I have it in Lightroom, not leave creative decisions to the lab such as adjustments to exposure, contrast, highlights, etc. which can alter the image. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks! Kind regards.

It's always great to get up early and see a new video from you . A good cup of coffee and a chance to learn something new thanks!
