How did you get both video footage and the photo at the same time like in "flying birds" chapter? Was the bird a paid actor and it went back to catch fishes several times so you could take more shots?
Hi. Good question but no paid acting birds were used. The footage and stills look similar but there were separate and different birds catching fish that day. All told I'd say there were at least 15-20 Osprey over the course of the morning going for and catching fish. Come with me on my Florida birds tour and you can capture the action with us! donmammoserphoto.com/photo-tours/florida-birds-photo-tour/
Hi Alton, sure, with a properly exposed and sharp image your print in such a book would look great at full MP and would still be ok cropped to a certain extent. I'd probably not crop much more than to about 8MP but even then it would probably be ok. I'd run a test with the final size needed before going to the final product.
As a hobbyist I crop a lot. I just post online and I see that a lot of my crops are in in kb range not mp! I just went from the A6600 to the A9 and am quite pleased with the results. Cropping is the only area the A6600 wins.
Hey Bryan, Thanks for the comment. I also have the a6600 and I'm pleased with it's ability to crop as well. Maybe I'll do a video on that camera cropping next.
@@DonMammoserPhoto yes, would be nice😀 i have another question maybe you can have a look at that and talk about it in one of your videos: i heard that you can take stills from video with the a6600, have you tried it? I think it is only about 7 megapixel images. I do mainly wildlife video at the moment but i wonder if it is worthwhile having stills taken from video footage …thank you Don😀👍
