Fuji XH2S First Wildlife Photography Shoot - Fuji X-H2S + XF 150-600mm 

Amazing images! That shot at 09:07 is such a beauty!

Wow. Your images are fantastic. I've got the same kit. I just found your channel. I'm a new subsciber. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Very enjoyable Wayne. I have an XH2-S but have never really attempted wildlife photography. You have me thinking….. 😊

Thank you for your effort. It is a great video.

Hello Wayne. What great pictures. I was looking today because of exactly this combination. XH2s with the 150-600. Then your channel was suggested to me. Now I've looked at a lot and I really like what you do with the Fuji system in wildlife photography. The system performs better as some full format photographers say. Thank you for your beautiful reports and pictures. greetings from Germany

Amazing video. Great examples as well. I am also planning to get this combo since I am using an X-S10 & XF70-300mm and it started to feel like it is not enough for my needs, but I was not sure between X-H2 and X-H2s but I think I am leaning towards X-H2s for it's supposedly better autofocus.

Hi Wayne thanks for the video, electronic shutter works fantastic I don't use mechanical at all for wildlife on the X-H2s as the rolling shutter on stills at least is amazing👍

Now that is finally starting to cool down here in the South (still hot in the afternoon) of the USA I’m going to try to get up early and do wildlife with my X-S20 & 150-600. I got some decent Eagle pictures with my X-S10 awhile back but couldn’t get as close as I’d like so I had to crop.

Hi Wayne, I use the XH2s to photograph college soccer. The main selling point for me was the electronic shutter. I shoot all my soccer photos with the electronic shutter and it's worked wonderfully in all types of lighting conditions. Games typically start when the sun is shining progressing through sunset and then the sun goes down and I'm shooting with stadium lights.

Hi Wayne, Enjoying your videos very much, especially interested in this X-H2s + 150-600mm (1.4x) combination for birds and birds in flight. I can see that you have had good success and very nice bird photos. Like several of your subscribers, having watched RU-vid videos about this combination they seem not to be very positive reviews regarding CF - bird eye detection for electronic shutter. I tend to use exposure compensation which is easy to setup and use with my current Sony A9 + 200-600mm system (that will be gone by next week) , looking X-H2s +150-600mm to replace it. Hoping to get some weight saving too for hand holding. What I’m noting from other videos is trying to assign exposure comp to a dial when using fully manual setup is impossible, has this been your experience? Interested to know as you’ve had the setup for a while now, have you decided on a customised setup for birds and birds in flight? Will you producing a video showing your current settings for birds on the X-H2s? Having used the kit for a while now, would you buy the same kit again for birds photography? I’m not too bothered about the f8 or f11 with 1.4x, living in spain poor lighting isn’t usually an issue for me, however that said would be interested to know if you’ve used the setup at sunrise/sunset and your experiences with the combination in that situation or any subscribers experience with the above conditions. Once again thanks very much for making such professional, detailed and informative videos, keep up the great work. Look forward to more X-H2s and 150-600mm videos.

Thanks for the video. Very nice fuji setup. I have the xt4 and the 100-400 with 1.4tc. I'll probably get the 150-600 but it's been a tough decision given my current setup. Do you think the 150-600 is worth going to from the 100-400 with 1.4tc? I'll probably wait for the next XH2S camera before changing body. Thanks, looking forward to seeing you working with your setup going forward. All the best!

I enjoyed this video and have the same set up but also use an XH2 with that lens often with a 1.4 extender if the birds are going to be further away. I find the 1.4 x does not degrade to ability of the camera to focus or the quality of the sharpness but you do have to contend with the smaller aperture which drops to F11. Unfortunately our gannet colony here has been closed to the public due to landslides during cyclone at the beginning of the year but I do enjoy photographing them. When I am out photographing wildlife since having this setup I use this lens almost exclusively.

Hi Wayne. Thanks for the video. Lovely video and music and still shots. I use xf 100-400mm. I could not help but observe that the 150-600mm shots / videos are darker generally… in your video and then other videos on RU-vid. I am guessing that’s because of the f-stop limitations on this long lens. Especially when I see the video in which you are talking compared to the bird videos you took using the 150-600mm. What’s your thoughts on this? Thnx!!

Hi Wayne. Enjoyed your video. I’m a canon shooter and thinking of switching to Fuji. What intrigues me most if the Fuji color pallet. The colors in your photos and videos seems to represent this well. Can you comment on your post-shoot work flow? Are your colors custom, or are you using one of the Fuji film recipes?

I've watched videos saying that xh2s' object tracking sucks. What does your experience say about this? Did the software updates work? I'm thinking of buying the camera. but this is bothering me
