I'm sharing all the tricks I've learnt over the years for small bird photography. Learn how I use composition, focusing techniques and camera settings to get perfectly sharp images of perching birds. This tutorial is for more advanced and serious bird photographers. In this video I'm using a Canon 1DX and EF 500mm f4 Mark i lens, sometimes with a 25mm Extension tube.

HELPFUL. Unlike many others, Paul does not talk about confusing, ineffective focus tracking settings, which I find do not work and actually inhibit the ability to get good, in focus pictures of fast moving little birds

Very informative thanks, I'm subscribing. I got a 300mm a few days ago and want to have a go at birds - it's twisting my head all these fast shutter speeds I had no idea, coming from 11mm landscapes, different world for me it's like I've not used a camera before - or at least not used half of mine. Your vid is helping me find my feet, thanks again!

@derrickcleveland3891 4 года назад

It would be cool if you did a video on the focal points and your AF setup within your camera......1❤️

@messylaura 4 года назад

good point on putting the focus point at subject head height. i use the focus lock then move for crows, being mostly black it can be a bit slow to focus on them if they big in frame so i use their legs or body to sky contrast then move to their head. with a 400mm i have used 2x25 canon tubes and 2x 2converters separated with a 13mm and got 5xmacro, fills the frame (crop sensor) with the Queens eye on a 20 pound note, needs lots of light though so best leave the f'kery to the studio :). i was recently practicing over my local park shooting any birds in flight, when i got home i was surprised and pleased to see one of the distant birds i got was a jay.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing that. Wow, that's a lot of tubes and converters! You're right about black birds. I don't think any autofocus system copes very well with them

@Jamesfoofighter 3 года назад

Re the extension tube - I have a Canon 1300d and a Sigma 150-600. It's a great setup, but I ordered an extension tube and love it for what it does. I've only used it for the garden pigeon, but look forward to trying it on the robins and coal tits etc. Thanks for the tip 👍

@bartjes2509 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing, I could use it for photographing the local kingfishers. They are very camera shy so I will have to gain their trust a bit to get closer for pictures. I have the sigma 100-400 on my full frame 6D mk.2 Minimum focus distance 1.6 meters is ok, getting pretty macro-like pictures at 400 mm and 1.6 meters, filling the frame with a butterfly perfectly

@PaulMiguelPhotography 3 года назад

I wish you luck with the kingfishers.

@danielbrehmer4912 4 года назад

I like the idea with the extensions tubes. Thanks for that!.You don't use back button focusing? That really improved my photographing. Thanks for an educative video!

@TITAOSTEIN 4 года назад

Hi Paul, thanks for the good tips and excellent work. I am a professional Cameraman and amateur photographer and wildlife and birding are my hobbies. Birding is a recent hobby and I have a lot of fun. I am currently using the mft system, specifically the Lumix GH5 + Leica 100-400, and am about to buy the new Olympus em1 m3 + Oly 300mm f4. I love portability, robustness, handling and the results are fantastic. I have been a Cameraman for over 15 years, and in that time I went from the huge shoulder camcorders to the Cameras system, including mft, and although with some commitment here or there, in general the results were the same or better, but with huge gain in the logistics issue and the weight of the necessary equipment. The move was a path of no return! I don't miss the old big an heavy equipament. That said, my question to you is this: Do you consider the use of FF Cameras fundamental for obtaining optimal results? In the specific case of pictures of small birds how do you evaluate the performance of the mft system? Have you tried the system? Greetings from the Black Forest and thanks again for the good tips.

@tjerkheringa937 4 года назад

Couldn't agree more. I use the Lumix-Leica 100-400mm (200-800mm equivalent) mostly handheld

@TheAstrocast 2 года назад

Aps-c is a great way to go for birds and wildlife due to the crop factor. For any lens you get more reach...and light gathering isn't as big of a problem as most wildlife is shot in the Daytime...though early morning and dusk can have some issues depending on your rig. I've never got to shoot with a micro four thirds...always been curious

@fofdeejay 4 года назад

Tnx for sharing again 👍

@bananapie2198 2 года назад

Great photos and thank you for the video! What I really want to know is how you can be so close to the bird and have them land in front of you, like in the sycamore example? Was that just an example for using a blind? Thanks for your help!!!

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

Yes, this is really for when you are closer and need to work more on composition etc. So either a blind or you work somewhere with fairly tame birds

@TheOpenImage 2 года назад

Thanks for that video, Paul. I was wondering why you focus and recompose when your camera has several cross-type focus points. I also find that AI-Servo works better in this situation, I get more frames in focus. I'm very particular that the eye of the bird is sharp.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

The annoying thing is they don't have enough focus points - they don't really go that far out from the middle. A lot of people use servo, I generally prefer to lock the focus.

@Baylo-ms5pm 2 года назад

Great video, lots of good advice! Thanks. What tripod do you use? Also can anyone recommend a good tripod that’s not top end price? Thanks! 👍🏻

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

Induro CT404. The decent ones to tend to be pretty pricey. Maybe Manfrotto do some reasonable ones.

@joepalmer75 4 года назад

Another great video...like comment about trying to do as much in camera as possible. Were you using Auto-ISO?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

I tend to only use auto ISO when light is very changeable or at sunrise, sunset.

@brianthomas6500 4 года назад

Another good vid. One thing you did not mention was the restricted focus range when using the extension tubes. Alright for set-ups where you are not going to need to focus at a greater distance but if something you want to capture should come near at a greater distance, you could miss it. The details with the 500mm lens are. 12mm tube 3.856 to 21.193mts, with the 25 its 3.391 to 10.778mts. Hope this helps. Although I have full frame cameras, the 6D is good in low light/high ISO, for social media etc an APC body with a 1.4 extender on my 500 gives much more reach for non hide situations and birds at distance.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

You are absolutely right - I forgot. Your information is excellent - thanks for sharing.

@jillharrison2419 4 года назад

Great video, Paul. Lots of useful nuggets. I just wondered why you rested your left hand on top of the lens during the segment when you were talking about getting into position, around 9 minutes 43 seconds. Sorry if I missed the explanation.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

It's a technique for long lenses (search RU-vid for 'Long Lens Technique') - if you drape hand lightly over the lens barrel it can reduce vibration.

@jillharrison2419 4 года назад

Paul Miguel Photography Ah thanks Paul. I’ll have a look.

@mariolavrador350 4 года назад

HI Paul, great video, thank you. Do you have any video about dealing with ISO in lightroom or photoshop?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

@JuliansCarChannel 4 года назад

@cedric9370 2 года назад

So Paul, focusing technique is absolutely crucial, and I agree. Would you mind showing us your results with a 650D and a 300mm kit lens pls. While you at it, do one with a BIF pls using the 650D and a 300mm kit lens. Thanx

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

@deanmclachlan7082 3 года назад

Very helpful video, thanks. One quick question please. You didn’t mention the lens IS when using the gimbal setup. Do you leave it on or switch it off? Many thanks in advance, Dean

@PaulMiguelPhotography 3 года назад

I leave switched off, but it's an old lens. Newer lenses I think you can leave it on.

@tapsahtip 3 года назад

What's the best settings for trying to photograph fast birds like Swifts, Swallows, Sand martins etc against a dull sky ? ,And would you say back button focus is best ?

@juliuscaesars9917 4 года назад

Good tutorial Paul , I always shoot them at 2000th sec. because I also like to get the take off just in case they go. and 24fps so I get a better selection , I don't have your fancy gear , just a lowly Sony RX 10 IV . always hand held , mine is light

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing this. I should try this more often myself. I tend to be quite focused on one type of shot.

@stephenthompson1998 2 года назад

I use aperture priority and set the iso in the menu to faster and find it works ok apart from low light eg dusk. It’s a great camera and I am very happy with its performance and its versatility.

@Hsukhaybir Год назад

Thanks for the video .. Usually how far away you’re from these birds ? I wish you talked about this because it very important, depending on resolution of the camera and focal length there should be some knows ranges I guess .. I use A7r iv with 60mp and 100-400 GM lens, shutter at 1/500 but the birds small in the frame.. and even with cropping still struggling sometimes to get sharp images for small birds although I’m about 10 meters away .. does the extra 200mm will help if add TC ? and how far I should be I general

@PaulMiguelPhotography 11 месяцев назад

It is a good question. I'm often less than 20 feet. This video might help - at the beginning. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gKiGwUvH7z8.html

@andrewgeorge5039 2 года назад

I just watched this video and was wondering if you had or could make a video on how you go about selecting a stump, branch etc where you think a bird will land.

@SomeonewithaSony 4 года назад

Hey Paul great video. Have you ever tried face-detect or eye-detect for birds? Wondering if this would work well.

@paulcollingridge8387 4 года назад

Sony animal eye-detect is too unreliable on garden birds for me, but may work better on seabirds with more distinct eyes

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

I've not tried that.

@mb-hb1fr 2 года назад

Thanks for an insightful video. I use canon 55-250 mm but not satisfied with the reach it offers. Can you please tell that how can I get the better reach using the same lens?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

You really need to get closer. But you could try and extender. Personally though, I don't think they work that well with zoom lenses.

@thescouser8629 2 года назад

Hi Paul Any thoughts on take-off shots? Portraits are OK but if the bird spreads it’s wings it adds an additional level to the image. Bob

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

Definitely. I want to work on that. Personally I'd stick to a one shot focus and rapid fire as soon as it moves.

@petepreston1103 3 года назад

Hello Paul.... I would like to get an extension tube for my 400mm EF F5.6 USM lens . Would you recommend the 12mm or 25mm please.....Thanks. Pete

@PaulMiguelPhotography 3 года назад

Either really. I would probably go with 12mm.

@riyazahamed1141 4 года назад

Hello Paul, Amazing video as always, inspires us intermediate photographers like me to learn and understand more about getting the images right. I have few questions below would love to hear your answers. 1. Could you suggest a good budget tripod for bird photography. 2. What are your thoughts on post processing and any videos from you which would explain about background noise reduction and sharpening? 3. I see you getting very sharp results with canon 400mm f5.6 but I don't get that great sharpness especially of smaller birds, is it mandatory to use support for shooting small birds with 400m f5.6, and since i hand held it i loose on sharpness? 4. Also i own a Canon 80D, Are full frame bodies more sharper in image quality?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Thank you very much. I'm not sure about budget tripod but I would look at manfrotto. I hand-hold often with the 400mm lens. I do think full frame bodies give better image quality. I'm not intending to do anything on post-processing.. I don't do a lot.

@riyazahamed1141 4 года назад

Paul Miguel Photography thanks Paul How’s birding now since there’s a lockdown? Can we expect some backyard birding video during this time?

@devvorapapatheodorouschrei4340 2 года назад

Paul do you shoot with cropped sensor only for the close ups?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

I only have full frame.

@forsterl.stewart414 4 года назад

Shutterspeed at faster speeds are fine for static perfectly sharp images. But not a hard and fast rule, blur images of birds in flight can be very effective and give an indication of movement in a otherwise static image. I've photographed in flight birds with Canon's 600mm f4 i.s. at 1/60 of a second f8. with pleasing results. Tripod benro TMA47AXL and a gimbal head. Expermentation is one of life's greatest thrills in photography.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

I'd agree with experimentation. 1/60th - nice!

@davidsmeeton6499 4 года назад

Good vid - extension tube use - do you lose auto focus at all?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

With canon extension tubes I still get auto focus yes

@tonycampbell6529 4 года назад

On the bean bag do you switch off IS or what do you generally do about IS? I have a 600 mk1 that I think does not feel the tripod.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Hi Tony. If it's on a tripod or beanbag I always keep switched off. I think this is probably best with your lens too.

@kentaufderheide8454 4 года назад

I'm new at bird photography. Brand new!! There are a lot of great tips in this video and your pics are better than awesome. What I don't understand is how you can use a tripod. From what I can tell you set up but how do you know that a bird will ever land in the area you are focusing on. Couldn't you go for ever sometimes and never see a bird. I'm confused. Can you help me understand. I've been shooting hand-held which is really tough. It would be so much better to be able to use a tripod. Thanks.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

This is really for those situations where you have a reliable set up. I sometimes used hides. Also you could do this at some parks, nature reserves. thanks for watching!

@JohnGilbert49 4 года назад

I enjoyed this video. One item you did not discuss, maybe you did but I missed it, is how do you get so close to the bird? My experience, the closer I get, the quicker they fly off.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Hi John. I guess this advice is in situations where you can easily get close. With small birds like this it can be possible.

@ashstubbings2603 4 года назад

Hi Paul, I hope you're keeping safe and well during these troubled times we find ourselves in? I've actually had your video in my 'watch later' folder for 12 days and only just got round to watching it. I'm just about to set up some feeding stations and perches in my garden, so this video is perfect timing!

@frostybe3r 2 года назад

I never get birds in my garden though. Strange choice to use an extension tube instead of an extender.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

I do use extender at times. The extension tube is purely to allow me to focus physically closer.

@garypocklington3396 3 года назад

I’m in a flat and have a feeder setup on the balcony. I’m having to take pictures through a window. I was wondering if you have any additional advice on doing this?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 3 года назад

That's difficult. Just try to keep the lens as parallel to glass as possible.

@paulhancock3791 3 года назад

Does lens size have an impact on shutter speed? I'm shooting on a 300mm and if I dip anything below 1/1000 (1/800 at a push) then I get serious twitch blur from the tiny fidgets of small birds. How are you able to get this down so low?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 3 года назад

It's not so much lens size - but more how close you are. The bigger the bird in the frame the more problematic is the movement. If the birds are more relaxed it will be easier - and I tend to shoot at a high frame rate too.

@niki4013 4 года назад

Wow, great video! Really informative, glad I found your channel. I have a question about your ISO. I noticed that you use quite high ISO, which can be often essential with little birds as they love flitting around in low light areas.. is noise an issue in your pics though ? Or does your camera handle noise ok? I have a mark 7D ii which doesn’t always handle high iso well but I can’t afford a high end camera so it can be frustrating at times trying to strike the right balance with lighting.. I often am stuck having to go quite low with shutter speeds which means a lot of blurry pics. Any advice?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

It's always difficult. I don't like going much above 1250 really, but 2000 can be o.k. - the noise largely comes from the background so the best thing you can do is try to shoot against a really clean background. Tip - light backgrounds will show less noise!

@niki4013 4 года назад

Paul Miguel Photography ah I see! Thankyou. Lighting really is everything!

@sarahhajarbalqis 2 года назад

👍🎶🐦

@ChandrashekharSardesai 4 года назад

I see you are using a 25 mm extension tube on this tele lens. That is interesting thing. I need to try it. Are you able to get so close to these small birds that extension tube can be used?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

it just allows me to get a little closer in order to fill the frame more

@lupinewoof 4 года назад

The trade off of the extension tube is that you'll lose the ability to focus at infinity or far away objects. Grand if you know you'll be shooting at a specific perch you've picked, but you won't be able to focus on a bird that lands far away w/out removing the tube.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Great point Brian, I forgot to mention this. Yes you are right and it's happened to me sometimes! I only use it when I'm concentrating on a perch like you said.

@soaringvulture 4 года назад

Absolutely. With Paul's setup (500mm with a 25mm tube), he can't focus further than 10 meters. That's my main issue with extension tubes.

I have the Nikon D7500 + Sigma 150-600mm C lens mounted on a Manfrotto 055 tripod & Lensmaster Gimbal RH2. The tripod is about £130 UK & the Gimbal head is about £150 UK. The gimbal is very solid and heavy but keeps everything steady! Check it out: www.lensmaster.co.uk/rh2.htm

Check Movo too for gimbals. Cheapest are Bieke but I really didn't like it.

Hey Paul. I just picked up a 1DX. I was used to using the 1D mark IV. For running large animals towards you, like dogs, do you recommend still using the one small focus point with no surrounding points or do you think the one point with the 4 around it would yield better results? I’m going to be shooting running dogs at me and panning across me from the sides. Also, is case 1 the best one to leave it on, or do you think case 4 is better? What about tracking sensitivity? I was wondering if you have any feedback for larger subjects? Thanks.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Tricky subject Gary. I often use one focus point on Case 1 - sometimes increase sensitivity. For really faster, bigger subjects I'll used more focus points and maybe case 6.

Hi Paul, what is your metering mode in your wildlife photography ?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

To be honest I just use evaluative, all the time now. Might also be called matrix.

@lilibethmayugba2716 4 года назад

Ohhh okay thank you Paul

The knob on the sun shade should be straight up. You can use it to aim with. It should be in the middle of the flash shoe.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Never knew that.

@tarjei99 4 года назад

@@PaulMiguelPhotography you can purchase or 3D print aiming devices which attaches to the flash shoe.

The small birds are way more challenging and therefore more rewarding than the raptors etc.Probably my favorite due to the difficulty in capturing a winning image.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 2 года назад

I think it often a big challenge yes, for sure.

@daran0815 4 года назад

I get why an extension tube may introduce some vignetting. But why would it reduce the light? And by a full stop?

@bbsphotography2187 4 года назад

Presumably its simply due to the extra difference it has to travel. I'm not sure precisely, but it def reduces the light.
