Hi Brian. Cheers. For the general vlogging and most wildlife video (such as the gibbons and bear in this video) I use my old Nikon D5600 - most lately with a Tamron 18-300mm I got solely for that purpose (it isn't great at 300mm, especially for still shots, which I avoid with it, but it is versatile and allows better vlogging than the phone). I use a D500 for all photography - either with the 200-500 (like you, I think?!) or now more often with the 500pf. I sometimes use that for better bird video if I have time to switch cameras and set it up - like with the distant Great Hornbills in this video :)
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing, I wish I had your patience😊 I reckon the little bird in the pool who was your first and last visitor knew you were watching, seems he wanted to show off!
i like you have had the pleasure of being in a bird hide in thailand recently, and like you i found it a massive learning curve on how to take video and pictures. the birds were very fast and the close proximity of the birds with long lenses proved to be sometimes difficult. my admiration for fellow you tubers like you and "@Thailand wild" and "@Thaibird spot" has grown since my struggles at lung sins hide in kaeng krachan national park. dont get me wrong i loved the hide and will go back because its a great way to see many fantastic birds. also i would like to congratulate you on this video, especially the gibbons song at the beginning and the fantastic pictures of the birds...well done.
Thank you for your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully you too can find your way to the Phu Kieow hide soon and get some great shots!
Excellent, the whole park for yourself! btw where are these places with the gaurs then the Great hornbills, are they below the lower campsite, or between both?
I live here in Thailand, so it's easy for me to take all of my own gear in my SUV to Kaeng Krachan or wherever I want to go. I always take everything - camping and photo gear, food, first aid and survival stuff - as I sometimes don't know how long I'll stay out or what I'll experience. You can rent tents and all the necessities from the rangers at Bang Krang campsite. You can even get food from them at certain times of day, although that might not always be a certainty on weekdays. January is a lovely time to visit temperature wise. If you can, try to get up to Phanoen Thung mountain top campsite. You'll need a 4x4 to get up there, but you can hire someone to drive you up if needed. Enjoy!
Asia and Africa are doomed unless birth control becomes popular and as long as there is tribalism that won't happen because every tribe wants to be the biggest.
Thanks buddy. I did gift her my D5600 and then bought her a brand new Nikkor 70-300 (which delayed my purchase of my beloved 200-500 by another couple of months!). She can have the D500 and the big lens when she's physically capable of holding them...
