Which of these settings would you rank as the most important to master?

@robertrakowicz9666 Год назад

AF-Settings, because - all new software can handle noise and WB (by RAW) and other things. But if your photo is not sharp..... it's nothing

This is one of the best channels for truly learning wildlife photography.

Excellent presentation. Janine always does a very good job of explaining the concepts for wildlife photography. As an avid user of back button focusing and AI Servo for moving subjects, I can confirm these techniques are critical to capturing these sorts of images. The Pangolin channel is terrific!

nice tuto ! very useful.

Thanks for the intro video to wildlife photography. Good content and information for both beginners and season photographers not use to shooting wildlife. I specifically liked the important points to consider that you highlighted: continuous focus, focus type, exposure (iso, shutter speed and aperture), metering type selection, frame rate, white balance and jpeg or raw. I look forward to part 2 of this session to fine tune this information to put this to practice. I also like the other videos from your channel. Very helpful and gives one more incentive to go on a wildlife safari.

Thanks Janine, some very helpful tips. I am new to your channel and trying to work out some kinks with my 1DX M11. I primarily shoot dog shows. So always a moving target. I have been really struggling with the AF as sometimes not the whole dog is in focus. Or the body is and not the head. I have done a factory reset on the camera and have changed my settings based on yours and your teams fabulous tutorials. One day would love to do a safari :)

@lachlangraham1062 Год назад

Great video Janine. For me the most important one as a DSLR user was exposure compensation, in conjunction with selecting the right metering mode to use. The AWB and autofocus were pretty good on my gear out of the box, so I did not have to worry about those so much. I have developed rules of thumb like if I’m shooting a bird against a bright sky, start at +2. Again great stuff, much appreciated.

Thank Janine, got some good info from the vid, am new to your channel and am enjoying your instructional videos on Lightroom as I am just starting out in editing, am not a newbie to photography but being 77 years old it’s taken me a while to catch up with the technology but your helping with that part. Thanks again.

@whitewalker9622 Год назад

1. Metering and how does it work. 2. Exposure triangle. 3. White balance. This is the pure basics in digital photography. And always shoot raw, cause you need the original frame.

Hi Janine, off topic question...has the R3 replaced your 1DX and become your main camera now?

@pangolinphotohosts818 Год назад

Hi Simon, it has .... there is some moments where I miss my 1Dx... (e.g. low light) ... but for the most part I am super happy

@kibbsnowden6893 Год назад

I'm wondering whether this isn't a bit too technical for beginners? Do they need to know about ISO, matrix metering and so on. Ideally getting a new shooter onto Manual made is a goal, but I would aim at aperture priority or shutter priority at most. You would be lucky to get them off P mode, no matter how much they spend on their safari camera set up. Don't give them the impression that they should attempt to use single-point focus! If they have a Nikon there are many different focus areas, including full screen for animal-eye auto focus and the Z9 has bird-eye auto focus to die for. Beginners don't need to know half the stuff you talk about. They don't need to know about Exposure Compensation for sure. Good try at making a guide, but I think you forgot about the beginners and concentrated on making sure you demonstrated that you knew what you were talking about. I personally think its as much about what you leave out. You don't want to see peoples eyes glazing over because they can't decide whether a situation calls for spot-metering!

@joncothranphotography9375 Год назад

Speaking as a novice myself, I appreciate the excess knowledge dump to help me to learn as much as possible. I do however realize that to understand all that we know, we must practice, turning knowledge into wisdom. She doesn't know which camera that we are shooting, so she must put out there all of the information for us to sort out what pertains to us. Please don't assume that beginners are not smart enough to sort through the information and get the nuggets that make them a better photographer.

@wilduntamedphotography1260 Год назад

Could not agree less. It's definitely great to start learning it as early as possible. Photography is "technical", you have to understand certain technical aspects in the attempt to master it. The Z9 for me has the worst and most complicated AF-System of all high-end cameras, while Canon and Sony are very straight forward and easy to use. It can't keep up with the R3 and definitely not with the A1, which is the oldest of the so called "flagships" - but why are you mentioning cameras here? She did not even talk about cameras, and not everyone has a Z9 (or A1, R3). Also why should a beginner not know about exposure compensation? Janine also made it clear that spot metering might be a (rare) option and mentioned the risks involved in using it, but also explained which metering mode she would be using most of the time. While is was hosting there I also tried to make people, mostly complete newbies, to get to use manual mode with Auto-ISO and you would be surprised how many guests picked it up quite fast under the hosts guidance.

@pangolinphotohosts818 Год назад

Hi Tony, good point. It is a bit much for some people but if they really want to learn there is no way around the technical components. I find that Aperture Priority always ends up providing our beginners with a shutter speed that is too slow as they cannot pay attention to it all the time yet. So it is quite a difficult setting to learn properly. At the end they need the information to start learning... we do teach this two part tutorial to guest that might stay with us 3 to 4 nights and our guest seem to be doing rather well with it.

@TonyHedges Год назад

@@pangolinphotohosts818 its a problem, I can understand it. I have tried to simplify things when I am in bird mode. I have settled on shutter priority with auto-iso. Keeping the shutter near 3,000th for startled birds. As long as the iso is lower than the shutter speed, with modern mirrorless cameras, they are pretty forgiving.
