Another great episode, I leave the IS on as I would always forget to turn it on if it was off. I remember using the focus limiter for the first time years ago and I forgot to switch it back. Next session with waders I thought my camera/lens was broken as it wouldn't focus :-) Cheers, Duade

A couple of points on IS: - If you are using a red-dot site turn IS off or the bore-sight vs sensor alignment can skew by a large fraction of the frame when panning - something like 1/4 to 1/3 on my G9. - When panning rapidly, the IS can't possibly help in the direction you are panning, but it can hit the end stop and keep trying to reset unless the camera is smart enough to turn it off automatically. My G9 induced small "microblurs" if I left it on

Hi Jan and Glenn. One of your best sessions ever. My longest lens is the RF 100-500 mm, but It's so useful to listen closely to your advices. Good points concerning keeping IS on and settings of focusing. Wonderful shots of these beautiful swallows! Regarding the book I unfortunately live in Denmark 🙃, but to answer your question, I don't have any favourite bird to photograp. I enjoy sparrows as well as birds of prey. They call for different techniques. Thanks for your chat and advices. Regards from Jan, DK

I live in Washington. The great northwest has so many birds to choose from because of the large migrations going South to North and back. I love them all. But, I would say my local bird favorites would be the Eagle and Ospreys. I'm still new, and just started photographing birds in flight. I keep IS on my one and only 600 Lens. Never saw any problems that would bring me to turn it off. Swallows are on my list to try and photograph. I've seen 4 types of swallows here this summer. You have got me hyped now on swallows!! I have learned so much from Jan's videos and I have shared them with my friends. Sorry Glenn, I've been watching Jan for about a year and half and I haven't seen you before. But, I will definitely check your videos out now! This was an excellent tutorial from both of you. Thanks for setting up the Time stamps so I could go back to certain sections and watch them again and again!

I live in Poulsbo, Washington State, USA. Wow, 'Favorite Bird'? THAT's a moving target for sure, but at the moment it would be an Elegant Trogon. A beautiful and somewhat difficult bird for me to get a photograph of. It took a few years of going back to the same spot (a specific tree with berries on it that the bird was fond of) in Madera Canyon, Arizona. My favorite due to the effort it took over time for the most part. I enjoy both of your channels. Cheers, Wally...

Great tips once again. I always have IS on as it's easier to track the birds. I shoot with an Olympus EM1-X and it has an in camera AF limiter that you can set to whatever you wish, which is normally 20-80 metres for BIF. Tracking birds is the hardest part IMHO, so I've just got an Olympus dot sight to try out. I live in Maroochydore, QLD, Australia and my favourite bird to photograph would be the Forest Kingfisher in flight. They're a real challenge to get.

Excellent tutelage on this most difficult photography challenge. My quick tip, choose large raptors gliding, or big water birds flying sluggishly in a straight line. If you must go for something smaller, a Nankeen Kestrel hovering is a good bet. I live on Wurrundjeri and Boonwurrung lands of the Kulin Nation and my favourite bird to photograph is the little jewel, the pardelote.

Thanks, very interesting and nicely done, especially the virtual dual desk. With my Olympus camera I don’t use the highest framerates, because that just shuffles way too many files to the SD card. For me, 20 or sometimes 30 fps seems to be enough, even for starting song birds. By the way, Olympus‘ pre-buffering function (ProCapture) is very handy to not miss the right moment. Maybe Canon‘s or Sony‘s recent models have something similar, I don’t know.

@@jan_wegener I also shoot an Olympus OMD MK3 in addition to the Canon R6, and one of the most valuable features is the focus limiting at the distant end. You can set the camera to only focus between 100 and 300 feet. That's on top of the usual lens focus limiting switches. It helps greatly with avoiding background focusing while a bird flies through your frame.
@d1truo
@d1truo 2 года назад
@@ikoknyphausen198 That's not on top, the limitter only works when the lens is not limitted from the switches. It's one way, or the other, but not both.

Thanks guys. This was a very clear and concise presentation. I found it very helpful. I definitely keep the IS on, though in some situations I will set the IS for only vertical stabilization. I've been having much more success with birds in flight with the new OM Systems/Olympus camera, the OM-1 and the 150-400mm, f4.5 lens. This combo has excellent subject detection and CAF with high frame rates of up to 50 fps. Now that I know I can capture birds in flight, I can start working on the techniques you provided for getting those really great photos. Thanks...Charlie from South Central Alaska.

I have been not using my film camera for not less than 20 years, because of the increasing photographers using digital camera and photoshop because of this reasons i give up my hobby, until I have watching your episode it renewed my interest. In the meantime I have preparing to buy a digital camera. In my country we have a lot of species birds and they are very friendly to people.

Great video guys. Comprehensive, informative, and backed up with good illustrative images and personal experience. I particularly liked all your tips and the explanation of why you alter the case modes towards the left. On my 5D IV I have the three settings used for the case modes set up on the My Menu tab so I can alter them quickly without going through the AF Menu. IS = I leave it on all the time. Favourite bird in flight = Atlantic Puffin ( preferably with a good catch of sand eels) . Look forward to more of your excellent videos.

Great info once again!! Thank you Jan and Glen. IS on at all times for me. I need all the help I can get. My favorite birds to capture is the one in front of me since i'm so new at wildlife. My best accomplishment with BIF is the Tree Swallow. Fast skittish erratic in flight these birds are but I've managed (with luck) to get a few focused shots due to my determination. I'm using the R6 w/ Sigma 150-600mm . As you know this lens is not an RF lens so it makes tracking and focusing very difficult. Cheers from Southern California!!!

I use a lens which has multiple IS settings. For objects in motion, I'll turn off horizontal IS. Like Jan, this aids in tracking and doesn't get it to fight with the lens motion horizontal. Great tips, thank you!

Great video. Gotta say, one of my greatest lessons and tips was learning bird flight patterns. Terns and their pivots (which you can follow once you get a sense of their flight pattern) and falcons were the toughest for me, but I can usually get solid shots with a lot less fuss than I used to. Doesn’t really work as well for songbirds, they’re too darn fast and shy for that. I just wait for them to perch. 🙃 Also, getting out for freshly fledged birds in Canadian spring/summer means getting young birds in training, which usually means they’re a little slower than their parents. 😆

Am just starting out in bird photography, so your effort in detailing the 'how to' and giving tips is much appreciated. It's really an amazing subspecialty. We have raptures here that seem to have a set time of day for circling over our fields. Am aiming my camera walks to try to catch them gliding over head. Alot harder than I originally imagined! So your series had been great.

My longest lens is a 70-200 zoom, but that doesn't stop me from getting some really nice shots. My favorite bird to photograph is the Song Sparrow. I am able to call them into my back yard (which is really quite fun in itself). Then they come in really close to me for some beautiful poses. I live in Oregon, USA.

Just this week I tried to photograph barn swallows and house martins in flight with IS off (R5 with EF 100-400 mk II, 20fps, >= 1/3200s, AF case set to maximum stickiness and acceleration). It was definitely ruining the rate of sharp shots. You could already see in the viewfinder the AF constantly losing focus every few frames during panning, whereas with IS on it steadily followed the bird once found in the frame. Just as Jan said, also the AF system benefits from a stabilized scene. So for me that question is answered.

Enjoyed the vid guys. This image stabiliser on or off thing really infuriates me. The way these photographers don't have a basic grasp of the physics involved. Its exactly how you said, Jan. At such high shutter speeds the amount of incorrect motion capable of causing blur would have to be MASSIVE to render any softness, and you're looking at a more stabilised, not less, image in the viewfinder! So it just can't be happening!. Quite the opposite! I've never been stupid enough to turn off the stabiliser - ever. And I have no issues with my results. A mate has the old Canon 400mm f5.6, a very sharp, but unstabilised, lens , and when we go shooting he is clearly up against it compared to the results my stabilised 100-400 gets. So yep agree with you 100% , and really, there's no argument about it. As always, we have to be really careful on the net when it comes to others so called advice.
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 3 года назад
Thanks for sharing this insight Mark :) It just make no sense that hand shake would be negated by shutter speed, but the sensor/IS movement wouldn't. Since this is a very old argument, one can't even argue that potentially rolling shutter and read out speed plays a role, since the DSLRs didn't really have that. Cause I suppose on a mirrorless cam, that can cause some effects on the image

Thanks guys for another great video! I leave IS on all the time for the same reason as many others! Have tried swallows with limited success - they are so damn fast! Will however use the focus limiting switch next time. My favourite bird is the wedge tailed eagle- there are a pair that live in our area & sometimes they will fly low over the cane paddocks looking for food- have managed to get a few shots- so majestic! I live on the beautiful North Coast of NSW. Cheers Lyn

Soon be the season of dragonflies, trying to capture them in flight and landing is hard most times. I enjoy the Loon, Osprey, Duck, Geese and Swan along with many more birds. Canon R5 does help with eye detection. Alberta Canada enjoyed your show.
