Thank you for very informing videos! What gimbal do you use for 200-600mm lens? I understand you have listed one here but isn't that a motorized gimbal?
I loved the video! It is a beautiful location and you got some outstanding photos :) Your videos keep getting better and better and I love seeing photographers exploring locations close to home, would love to see more like this. Thanks!
I love so much and enjoy a lot of your Vlog .. such a beautiful Greenery place and lot's of species you've found in single day.. really appreciated... Best of luck and stay safe 👍
Thank you! Hoping to capture some better footage the next time I'm here. There's so many flowers about to bloom so hopefully can get some macro shots too.
New to your channel. Loved your pond. The thaughts process and strategic planting for bird attraction and self maintaining. "If you make it they will come" while you reap the reward! Interested in any additions even the blind, thank you!
Great video. Where in BC was this taken? I was in Vancouver and Vancouver Island last year and did some birding while on a kayaking excursion. Canada has such great wildlife. I first got into birding in rural Nova Scotia, and have made trips to bird in different provinces in each of the past 4 years. Unfortunately , not this year with the coronavirus has forced me to stay in the U.S. this year. Keep posting your videos as it giving me ideas of where to go in the future.
Hey Stefano! Just found your channel and am really enjoying seeing some of your Canadian birds! So exciting that you saw that bear too - completely unimaginable for me here in New Zealand to have such big animals walking around. Can't wait to watch more ☺️☺️
Thank you! One thing that works really well is trying to get to a higher ground. Since most of them are usually high up in the canopy, being on a ridge that overlooks a forest can be really beneficial. Also, try and observe how they're foraging. They usually move from one tree to the next, so try to see which direction they're moving in and anticipate where they'll end up. If you can get them to come to you, it makes things way easier. Now is a good time to find blooms which attract a lot of insects. They like to pick off insects around those flowers, so also look for those!
I love your videos! They are also a great way for me to learn about the bird species of North America, I was supposed to be visiting Canada right now but sadly my trip was cancelled due to Covid. Hopefully I'll get to see some of these species next year!
Un entorno genial donde seguramente obtendrás hermosas fotos. Me gusta las que nos muestras pero a la que conozco por esta zona es la del Reyezuelo Listado. Me encanta fotografiarlo pues representa todo un desafío para los equipo y los fotógrafos por lo rápido que se mueven. Los tengo fotografiado bien cerca y cantando con la cresta rojo fuego que despliegan. Este domingo, después de 126 días sin poder salir a fotografiar, por fin pude disfrutar de aves playeras, concretamente de correlimos tridáctilos-Calidris alba. Un saludo desde España.
That sounds like an incredible day! The first few days out after quarantine were very liberating. I hope you can get out and see some more species soon! Have a great day and be safe.
A lot of people have been having AF problems with the A7RIV and 200-600 combo. I was wondering if you were having that problem as well? Seems like people are having a really low hit rate with the AF on moving subjects.
Thank you for very informing videos! What gimbal do you use for 200-600mm lens? I understand you have listed one here but isn't that a motorized gimbal?
Glad you enjoyed! I don't use a gimbal for the 200-600, just a ballhead. Yeah, the gimbal in the description is the one I use when filming some broll/vlogs.
That's really nice. Maybe if the video was longer it would be better ;). I Really enjoying this video in the forest because I planned to go to Canada this summer holiday but it was unfortunately canceled due to covid 19 :(
Haha, I thought this would be a longer video but it took us so long to find this place 🤦♂️ That's such a bummer, I hope you were able to reschedule. At least Canada is pretty scenic year-round, so if you did reschedule you should still get some stunning sights!
Hey, thanks for that video. Now I'm fully motivated to take my camera now and go to forest next to my home :D Greetings from Poland! I hope you will visit Poland some day to do some bird shots!
You have given us viewers some fantastic videos,keep it up ,what do you do for your 12 hours a day normal job ?? Can you tell us were in British Columbia the park is you are in please ? thanks again love your Chanel
Haha, tell me about it. Not only are they fast, they really seem to stick to the tops of canopies here. I don't think I've seen a Ruby-crowned Kinglet below 20 feet all season.
Hi Stefano! Did you see that the animal video company called The Dodo posted something about you on Snapchat? That’s so exciting! I’ve been following you for a while now and it was a great surprise to see your name and your photography being sponsored. Awesome job!!
Bravo 👏 to your girlfriend for supporting you on your hobby! And as a result we can enjoy your videos, you are definitely one of my favourite photographers, amazing pictures and huge respect for animals as well! Ps. When you’re taking pictures of wildlife you shoot on M mode? How do you cope with constant light changes when you must change f mode, shutter speed and iso ... is it experience now or maybe you can tell us the secret how quickly amend required changes to settings, as a beginner i do struggle a little with that. Stay safe all the best
Wow, thank you so much! 😀 The best mode to be in, in my opinion, is Manual mode but with Auto ISO. There's just so many changing conditions when it comes to photographing birds, that you'll be way quicker by having your ISO automatically compensate. There's also a neat feature where you can bracket your ISO with a low point and high point. I set the low point to the lowest ISO that the camera can go to, and my high point is usually 3200 or 6400 depending on the camera. If you're using Auto ISO but don't set a low/high point, it may jump to crazy high ISOs in darker conditions. So with ISO on auto and my aperture set to wide open, I only need to focus on changing one setting in the field - shutter speed. Hope this helps 🙂
Stefano Ianiro Wildlife thank you so much for your time and sharing your knowledge! It’s extremely helpful tip for Me as I enjoy photography as a hobby and hope to be better with it! All the best and greetings from Uk 🙏
Geese anywhere are just downright defensive and angry I find 😅 i've seen them chase someone down a straight block just to protect their baby. 😅 I've just recently started bird photography and i hope to take great shots like this. 😍
Stefano Ianiro Wildlife thank me? You Canadians are so nice and polite. :) That being said I don’t think where you record matters as much as your passion and happiness doing it. Just a great vibe.
Haha 😀 That's great to hear. I think I liked this location because there was just so much greenery. It means most plants and trees will start to blossom soon.
Stefano Ianiro Wildlife Oh I was referring to your channel in general. But yes this location was awesome as well. You know sometimes it might look ordinary for you because it’s somewhere you live but there will be plenty of people who never seen any of it before.
Is the boy deluded, or is she really impressed with more than his birding image stabilization and Nature knowledge? 😹 I'm jealous, of course, I know ... nothing! In BC and beyond, mother nature is incomparable, enjoy your photography adventures. Be well folks!
How much did you have to zoom in to capture that bear footage? It just occurred to me that you probably want to be far away when shooting bear footage 😂
Hi everyone, I just noticed there is a firmware update for the Sony A7R4a as of yesterday that mentions it improves the overall stability and performance of the camera. Has anyone had issues with the Sony 200-600mm on an A7R4a compared to an A7R4? Did anyone download this new software update and notice any changes? I have this lens and have a sony A7R4a on the way. Monitoring the issues with autofocus on this combo has been a small hobby for the past few weeks. Thank you very much!
