Truly amazing video and great photos! Thank you for that. Short eared owls are super rare in Poland, where I live, so that watching this video made me thinking about visiting this wonderful place. Could you ,please, recommend the best month to go there to have the highest probability to photograph the owls?

@danwillis_photography 4 дня назад

Wow! Just amazing! I always enjoy watching your videos. And those Barn Owl shots are jaw dropping!The Short-eared Owls are just showing up here in Ohio, USA. Can I ask what settings you use for the owls in flight? I’ve been using a small custom box and 3D but wondering if something wider would work better. Thanks so much!

@danwillis_photography 9 месяцев назад

Thanks very much. Settings wise I personally always shoot wide open to whatever your lenses widest aperture is. Then shutter speed is always above 1/1000s but the highest I can get away with before pushing ISO above 5000. Hope that helps and all the best 👍🏻

@zebeddy 8 месяцев назад

Wow...what an incredible day!! Absolutely loved watching this Dan. I live near London so Bempton is a long way from me but this makes me want to fund a day to get up there in my old banger lol.

@derekclark4762 10 месяцев назад

Well Dan Bempton comes up trumps again for you, marvellous videos and images as usual, birding can be so hit and miss especially when you have travelled a good distance but that's the thrill of the chase. Myself and a couple of birding pals visited Elmley in Kent to see mainly waders back in the late 70s, what Pops up 6 Short Eared owl wheeling around together, then later a young Sea Eagle most likely one of the birds released on Rhum, sadly a few weeks later shot and killed, certainly a hobby with highs and lows. Superb footage as normal, roll on next Sunday evening 👌

Thanks very much Derek, always a pleasure to read your comments. You are absolutely right about the thrill of the chase, it’s the possibility of failure and the lows that make the highs just amazing. All the very best 👍🏻

Awesome! We've had them some years at the local wetland, but there weren't any last year and there's only been one seen passing through so far... but hopefully I'll get some this season! Can't recommend that waterproof cover enough - I've got the same one. While the camera and lenses are weather sealed, being damp for a long time is bad news, so being able to dry them more quickly has to be a good thing!

@Kevin-vg9lt 9 месяцев назад

Hi Dan, a fairly new subscriber so catching up on your videos, I have been to Bempton for the Gannets but knew nothing about the owls being there later in the year so that's a great heads up so I can see me and my two photography buddies booking a couple of nights stay over there next year. BTW just watched your video from the Trossachs Osprey hide and I must say I would have been gutted if I had travelled all that way and paid for that hide, as soon as I saw it I thought that looks terrible quite a distance from the water and long grasses obscuring the view. We went to Horn Mill Osprey hide last year and that setup is brilliant fantastic unobstructed view and a spotter. I know you have been there so you must have been really disappointed with the Trossachs hide. Anyway keep up the great work mate I have more of your videos to watch so cheerio for now.😁👍

@danwillis_photography 9 месяцев назад

Thanks very much Kevin, I can definitely recommend a winter visit to Bempton definitely worth a trip. Thanks for the subscription it’s really appreciated. Trossachs is very new and I hope with feedback that many have provided that they might make some alterations as it really does have potential. Horn Mill will definitely be featuring on a video in 2024 for sure. All the very best 👍🏻

@colinwoods4450 9 месяцев назад

Cracking video, Cracking images and a credit to you Dan. Always enjoy watching your videos they are brilliant and informative. I always struggle locking on to birds in flight and what combination of focal points to use on my DSLR Canon 5D MKIII. Any advice appreciated.

@danwillis_photography 9 месяцев назад

Thanks very much Colin really appreciate your response and ongoing support. For focal points when using a DSLR I almost exclusively used single point on my D500 with reasonable success. I would however switch to group points for erratic fast moving subjects. The next thing I did and this made a huge difference (don’t mean teach a grandma to suck eggs with this comment so apologies in advance) was practice in my back garden. I would use a target such as a small soft toy and position it against difficult backgrounds and then repeatedly draw my camera to my eye and practice focusing on it. I think that this is one of the hardest elements to get right and something often overlooked by photographers. Before doing this when I brought my camera to my eye with a long telephoto lens I would struggle to find the subject leading to many missed shots. Hope this helps, all the best 👍🏻

@seanmarah6886 8 месяцев назад

Great video and fantastic photos, I'm finding it very hard to focus on short eared owls as they move faster than people think. Can I ask what focus points you use and do you go into case settings and adjust the sensitivity of the focus tracking as half my photos are blurred. Thanks IAV

@danwillis_photography 8 месяцев назад

Thanks very much Sean and a great question. I think you are absolutely right and people genuinely underestimate SEO’s speed, they look graceful yet they cover ground really quickly. If you are getting blurred images (apologies if I am teaching grandma to suck eggs) then the first thing to consider is shutter speed. Most of the flight images at Bempton were 1/2000 of a second. If shutter speed is not an issue then the next thing to consider is autofocus. For most of my photography I use 3D tracking with animal eye recognition and bird subject. However on this day that would not lock onto the subject no matter how hard I tried. Most shots were achieved using wide area small which I have setup to the shutter button with 3D on the back button. On the odd occasion this failed I have the top front programmable button set to single point, the method I was so use to with my D500. I use this as my get of jail card. I don’t change the sensitivity of the focus tracking unless I know the subject is likely to pass in front of obstructions such as hares in a field. Hope this helps and all the very best 👍🏻

@seanmarah6886 8 месяцев назад

@@danwillis_photography thanks very much for replying, I don't have animal focusing yet as I have the canon 7D but if it's a game changer then I'll probably buy a new camera. Keep up the good work.

@steveoldham4462 8 месяцев назад

My wife saw your video from bempton and has booked me a cottage for 3 days in May for my birthday today. Any advice would be helpful. Are there any other spots along that coast you would recommend. Like you it's a 3 hour drive so want to get the most.

@danwillis_photography 8 месяцев назад

That sounds absolutely fantastic and it will be at a great time, showing Bempton at its best. I have copied a video I made from a much earlier visit where I travelled further north to Filey and a place called Brighouses which is well worth a visit and I managed to photograph a purple sandpiper. Bempton Cliffs Photographic Adventure ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qAnfpfzfWMY.html Bridlington is also always worth a visit at low tide for waders and if you wanted a drive out Hornsea is fantastic, the beach for waders and the mere for Hobby chasing dragonflies and Marsh Harrier. Hope that helps and you have a fantastic trip 👍🏻

@hstein27 10 месяцев назад

Dan, you're very fortunate to get these beauties during the day! I've only seen two, the last last Aprils, at the same refuge in northeastern Massachusetts. They began hunting at sundown. Great colors in the sky but high noise, but I was still able to get some great banking shots, and the first one perched for me for a bit. Your shot of the two of them was awesome! And a barn owl to boot! Is your area experiencing a boom in raptor activity in general? We're definitely experiencing it. Many Northern Harrier and Red-tailed hawks around all of a sudden. A barn owl showed up a few weeks ago, outside its normal range, and every photographer I know was there pretty much. Fortunately it was in a tree far from the beach boardwalk, so it was undisturbed but with enough focal length you could get a decent picture. I was surprised how caramel-colored the barn owl's body was. Yours was more white like I would have expected.

@danwillis_photography 10 месяцев назад

Thanks very much for your comment and for sharing your experiences from the other side of the pond. Yes we are experiencing a huge influx of migratory birds from Europe, which usually indicates a bad winter. The Short Eared Owls have certainly gone up in numbers and are being spotted up and down the country. You do get variations on colouration of Barn Owls and indeed other birds, sometimes linked to diet and feeding area. I photographed a pair of Peregrine’s earlier this year, the female had an almost orange chest due to the area she was catching prey from. All the best 👍🏻
