I am a professional wildlife photographer living on a tiny sailboat. My eyes are failing but i refuse to surrender, so I am doing my photography from a boat, where I am safe from traffic and other obstructions. This is more of a variety channel that follows my many interests. You will find videos about astronomy, tiny house living, construction, sailing, photography, animals and so many other subjects on this channel. I hope you join us for my adventures.
I have maybe a dumb question. How do they get photos and videos of bears in their dens with their young? I have seen things like this on some documentaries and am wondering how on earth they do this. Any help would be appreciated. I like the presentation style of this gent and learned a lot. I live in PA which has Black Bears and no Grizzlies. Thank you.
@@MooseHenderson1 WOW! Thank you for your prompt response. I honestly thought another person might answer me and was pleasantly surprised to see it was you. Of course I subbed to your channel earlier. Thanks again for the informatie video and reply.
Thank you, Moose. I am in the same boat, with a 14" Meade LX200GPS. I've been looking into using a tripod game host with a stated capacity of 500 pounds. I am working out the geometry of hanging the OTA, which weighs about 100 pounds, and then placing the scope tripod underneath. Like you, I do not want to downsize! Hear, hear, brother!
I do not agree that you messed up. You shot for the stars and maybe got the moon. That is how successful people do things. Ok, you are not sailing around the world, but you are obviously still sailing somewhere. It seems you might be able to charter wildlife cruises for shutterbugs, as long as you have a crewman, given your eyesight. You could give talking tours (Disney style) about photography, wildlife and habitats. Perhaps you could find someone who needs a crew job at the marina you will be staying at, and pay them from the charter revenue.That would seem to fit your various goals and and values. The stuff success is made of. Godspeed, your Moosketeers are pulling for you.
Very great video! I need an affordable backup camera for my R5 and it looks like the R7 could just be that. It really seems like the people who are having AF issues are in the spray-and-pray camp. And I personally cannot justify getting another R5 body if it is mostly used as a backup camera anyway and sometimes as a second video angle for interviews. Right now I am just waiting to get a good deal for the R7 as I only need it for my trips next year.
I would agree it is a wonderful backup. I especially like it combined with the 100-500 as that effectively is 150-750, a great reach combo. The R5 will be much better in lower light and dynamic range. The R6 Mk 2 seems to be one of the best for low light
@@MooseHenderson1 The video played flawlessly! lol. I don't have any little vents here so that's out. I cut the child proof on the exterior already. The spring and flash suppressor still needs to be done I guess. How you doing?
@@MooseHenderson1 I'll need to order some vents I guess. Inside filter/arrestor will get removed as well as that spring. The video played flawlessly though! :D
Moose, Can you tell me what kind of Outboard you used? How much did you spend on gas?Did you have an extra outboard?Did you do any sailing? Great video, I plan on making a similar trip from Peekskill, NY.
Hello Moose. I ve following you since just prior to you living on the boat. Found you on RU-vid as l m planning my first trip to Tetons and Yellowstone and you popped up. You have wonderful images and a very interesting story. So many thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge of photography with us. I am sending some cash knowing it’s well deserved for the opportunity to learn from you. Thx . Looking forward to the ride.
I truly enjoy your new series of videos my dear friend and I think this free online photo school and courses is a fantastic idea. I will certainly apply our tips to my own humble photography. Much gratitude for all you provide generously 🙏💫💙
What a difference you’re making. You’re a great teacher and I’ve learned lots from watching your videos over the past few years. Now, photography, wow! When I figure out how to get my photos on my computer, I’ll share them with you. So much to learn. Let’s do this. 👍
Hi Moose, I’m really trying to get this. I so want to understand and use manual, but I was confused at about 5:30 in the video where you said you were going to “drop your exposure down a little bit”. I’m wondering what part of the exposure did you drop? I got lost. Can you tell us what you changed? Thank you! I’ve made a folder in my phone where I keep the notes from each class. Need to learn how the histogram works, too. How can I tell if it’s “blowing out the whites”? What does a balanced histogram look like? Maybe you’ll cover that in a later video. Loving it so far. Thanks again! 👍
Will respond tonight when I have more time for a detailed response. There are videos on my site about histograms, maybe do search in my channel for histogram. I do plan to redue them but they should be a good start
Dropping my exposure refers to the fact that I am photographing a white bird and I do not want the whites to loose detail because of overexposure. This is a concept we will cover in much more detail as we dive deeper and deeper into this class. For now, we should concentrate on photographing average scenes and learning how to set exposure for average scenes, then we can step into more difficult scenes. Thanks so much for jumping on board and asking specific questions, your participation charges me up to do this series and also shows me how to do the series. Thank you
@@MooseHenderson1 thank you. I’m loving this class. Thanks for taking it a little bit at a time. I’ll look for your videos on the histogram to get a feel for it. Haven’t taken any photos with my real camera yet, just my phone, but I will and will share them with you when I do.
@@melissadimoush8196 Melissa, this class is evolving into a major project, I love goals and you (and others) have inspired me to make this into a full blown “school”, covering many aspects of photography. Watch for intro video soon
Hi Moose! This method of working with a subject whilst explaining what you are doing to photograph it works very well for my brain. I appreciate this series indeed. For greenhorns, like me, I would suggest watching a video you did about two years ago titled "Photography 101 Beginner Equipment." In that video, you offered a lot of specific advice about choosing a camera and accessories. There were also some terrific tips for those of us on a budget as well.
Loved this explanatory video explaining how your approach your shots. It's a wonderful way to ground and make hands on the theory you so kindly and generously offer to us. Thank you my friend 🙂📷💫
I never take photos, only music videos. Still, I find your explanation quite interesting. The patience you have to photograph that bird is admirable. Good luck with your channel.
👍🤩💝Great challenge. I think some people (like you) just have an eye for photography. My mom tried to teach me photography but I just can’t seem to figure it out. 😂🤣😭
I love this new series my friend! This is fantastic and will help many grasp the basics of photography which I personally need, since I'M really an amateur photographer that goes with instinct and zero technique 🙂 Gratitude for sharing for free
@@MooseHenderson1 Aww, that is so very sweet of you, my dear friend. I'm touched. Well, your photography inspires me to do better and use more technique. 🙂📷💫
I think you own a cell phone with a camera, most cell phones have some adjustments and it would be fun to learn more about your phone and what you can fo with it
@@mags102755 I would look on google using your phone brand and word camera in search criteria. I will be starting some photo challenges soon and it would be wonderful to see some of your images
