Strange how some people give a 👎🏼 to videos. There’s so much valuable information here that I know to be spot on. Though personally I’ve pretty much given up on birds in flight. The little bastards are just too quick 😂 Something I remember Mark Smith pointing out is try not to open up the aperture too much, by stopping down a bit you increase your chances of getting enough of the bird in focus that it won’t be a throw away shot.
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
Oh well, haters gonna hater :D Yes, it's always a trade of and I am a big advocate on stopping down generally. If you can stop to F8 and still maintain a 1/2000 or more, than I would totally suggest that. However, because usually BIF are further away, depth of field isn't as critical, but it can help if you slightly mis-focused. and yes, they are soooooo fast :D

A few months ago I sat on the oval at Wattle Park and tried desperately to take photos of swallows in flight. I finally got a few decent shots when I found them perching on a post around the cricket pitch. I look forward to doing that again, with a wider focus spread and faster shutter speed. I love BBF but it makes it difficult when someone else wants to use my camera. Another great video and with my new caravan and approaching retirement I am looking forward to doing some serious travelling and bird photography,
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
Yes, these guys can be very tricky. The key, as you noticed, is to find a spot they land or take off from. Sounds great, hopefully all the restrictions will end soon!

Hey Jan, one tip that I'd add is enabling auto-ISO with a maximum ISO set. After doing this I've had much better exposures since the camera will figure out the ISO instantaneously if the lighting changes.

I think your videos are very thoughtful an educative. Thanks so much for them! One issue you might consider elaborate on is to microadjust your lens(es) in order to be able to fully rely on your autofocus. Besides, backbutton autofocus is a "not going back from" -thing. Small input of change in how to handle your gear ... and massive output!

How do you work with tripod and gimbal for flight photos? So far I've only hand held - mostly because I tend to walk around most of the time. But there's a few spots I know there's always birds and I've been curious to get a gimbal for my tripod. Not sure exactly what to look for in a gimbal system though.
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
it works well, you just have to get used to. If you get a good Gimbal and set it up quite loosely, it won't feel that's different from handholding and you don't have to hold the weight. Obviously, the range of motion is less, but I don't find that too bad.

Excellent tips, Jan! This is exactly what I'm struggling with right now. I'm using a 6D2 right now but the frame rate is limited to about 6.5 frames/sec. It sounds like it may be time to invest in a new frame. The next time the weather turns nice, I'll try some of the suggestions. Thanks.
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
Good Luck Dave! Yes, for BIF the slower frame rate on these bodies is a little limiting and it's the only time I am jealously looking to my peers shooting with a camera that sounds like a machine gun :D And there's not much one can do, because even if you try and time it right, the camera might still fire every time the wing is in a bad position. That's why I am keen to try out a EOS R5 with 12-20 fps.

Hello Jan, I find your videos a great help to amateur photographers like me who have just started learning with a entry level camera with kit lenses. Many Thanks on behalf of all those. I would like to have some tips to get best out of D5600 with 70-300mm kit lens for photographing small birds in the garden and birds in flight.. Loved all your content on first day and subscribed your channel immediately..Love from India.

with that lens, the best advise I can give you is to get as close as possible. Which is easier said than done of course.

Nice tutorial Jan, only thing is I don't understand how you can shoot your 600 when mounted on a tripod. I prefer to do it hand held.
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 3 года назад
Thanks, it;s always tricky, neither is ideal. Handheld gives you more flexibility but tires you out more

Very informative explanation, iam struggling with blurred shots of diving kingfishers. Focussing tents to lock on other parts, leaving me with soft eye details of the bird! Will put to use your ctr focus point with multiple surporting points. Even group focus selection is unable to give me that clear shots. Thank you Jan🙏

I think a lot of people photographing kingfishers pre-focus on a certain area. A lot of camera would struggle to acquire focus on a fast diving kingfisher

Hi Jan, I'm enjoying your videos. I'm also in Melbourne. I am wanting to build up my collection of lenses for my APS-C sensor Sony a6000. One of the lenses I want to purchase is a bird/wildlife lens. I've seen the Tamron 150-500 lens that is pretty gigantic, there's a Sigma 100-400 and a Sony G master 70-350 lens. I was hoping to go for the Sigma or even the Sony and wanted to know your thoughts on this choice? Obviously with the 1.5x crop sensor the Sony is about 525mm and the Sigma is 600mm. Is that enough for birding? My primary interest is Parrots and especially Black Cockatoos followed by birds like Wedge-tailed Eagles or wading birds such as Spoonbills. I'd also like to photograph other wildlife as well such as Kangaroos and Lizards just to name a few. What are your thoughts on the 100-400 or 70-350mm lenses for me? Will they suffice, or should I aim to get a 500 or 600mm lens?
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 2 года назад
For Sony my choice is the 200-600. What it offers for the price is pretty amazing

Hi Jan, I want to thank you for all your videos. All your videos are explained in detail and clearly. Thanks and pls continue your great job. I need your help to pick my new camera, I am bit confused to pick my new camera, I need your advise before I am purchasing it, I like to have a camera which should be like all rounder. Birds, landscape, macro, low light, long exposure... So pls advise R5 or R6 will suits for this requirement. I am fine to spend but it should be like my destiny one and I don't want to regret later after buying low pixel camera. Pls help me to choose the right one.

I used in back in the day, it was a fine lens, but not as good as the new version. AF and IQ are a bit behind the current lens, but you will still be able to take nice images with it

Hi Jan, thank you for all the helpful videos you make!! But now i have a question. Do you use the cameras default af settings or did you changed af prioritys in the setup? Did you made a certain custom af case for birds in flight?
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
I fiddled around with that for a while and now use a setting that works best for me. I will have to check what it actually is. I might make a video about that.

Hi! Jan, now that mirrorless cameras are now part of your arsenal, has the technique changed as to how you shoot birds in flight?

A little bit, mainly because the AF is so much better now

What’s your opinion of using shutter priority?
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
I personally use only full manual. I guess TV can work alright for birds in flight, but with changing light or backgrounds you are giving your camera still a lot of scope for badly exposed images

Sir i want to know that at the time of shooting birds , ISO shoud be auto or manually bacsuse birds are moving in light areas or dark areas. Pls gide us .
@jan_wegener
@jan_wegener 4 года назад
I use full manual, because it gives me maximum control. If birds are moving all over the place, auto ISO can help you, but it allows the camera to do some guessing, and potentially wrongly exposing images. However, that might be better as a start, until you can master full manual mode
