What lens do you use for WILDLIFE photography? Thanks for watching! Cheers

@TheWildlifeGallery388 Год назад

600mm F4 - with a 1.4 tele a majority of the time. depends on what I'm after, hoping to get a photo of.

@gabeatv Год назад

@coffeeatitsbest1500 Год назад

Iphone 4. battery last for 2-3 mins....its not bad but i am looking to upgrade

@SundayRacers Год назад

Can't beat my 500mm f/4 - same one you have. A good used one in the UK is incredible value at the moment. Did you have to fine tune it on the Z9? I understand that native Z lenses don't need AF fine tune, but interested to hear if you needed to fine F mount glass on the Z system

@christianwillows Год назад

Hi Matt, your videos are great! Thanks for the helpful and inspiring content! I just finished a week trip around beautiful BC shooting songbirds, waterfowl, owls, etc and really enjoyed the combination of the z800 (on z9 w/ tripod) and the pf500 (on z8 using cotton carrier for quick/closer handheld flight shots). I switched the pf500 for the z100-400 (sometimes with TC for macro) for situations when waterfowl, etc come close. I found using the wireless remote with the z9 & tripod to be fun for triggering video while at the same time taking stills with the iight z8/pf500 or 100-400 combination. Do you find the 105mm prime a lot better for macro? Haven’t done much macro, but hope to in the future.

The eye level shot of the squirrel looking at the back of the Z9 is amazing.......I wish I had that in my portfolio !

@mlai2546 Год назад

Squirrel? I thought they were prairie dogs. 😅

@MattShannonPhoto Год назад

Thank you! It worked out really well. I think I timed it perfectly while they were still interested in me and my equipment to take a closer look. After a few of them took a look behind the camera for that particular shot, they left it alone so I was lucky I was in position to catch the action before it was too late.

@MattShannonPhoto Год назад

@@mlai2546 From my research prairie dogs are also squirrels but there are no prairie dogs in this video. Prairie dogs look similar to the Columbian Ground Squirrel but there are a lot of differences between the two when compared side by side and the region in which they live. I am not an expert so that is as far as my info goes before I start sharing websites and links 😄. Thanks for watching the video! Cheers

I saw your channel featured on Fstoppers and decided to watch your episode and I was totally impressed. You live in an amazing area for wildlife and nature photography. I also saw your episode where you talk about your RU-vid monetization but I don’t think you have much to worry about. I also follow another wildlife photographer from Nova Scotia and found him on Fstoppers as well. At that time he had 24K followers and how has over 400K. I think you have a lot to offer and look forward to future postings.

Really wonderful video. Love the interaction with the squirrels. So cute. My wife and I used to live in Hope in the 1970’s to mid eighties and Manning Park was our backyard. We just loved the nature there and at the time much of the park was remote and not visited by many. Pristine really. We haven’t been back in years since we now live on Vancouver Island. After watching this though we will have to revisit the area and explore it again. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful part of British Columbia.

Just found your channel this weekend, phenomenal images and content! I've been in a bit of a photography rut lately and was looking for inspiration - found it here. I'm a fellow Nikon fan so particularly appreciate your tips on the Z9 (just bought a Z8) and seeing a pro out there invested in the "new" Nikon mirrorless platform in rugged outdoor settings. As for the B&W vs Color squirrel, its's a tough one but i lean towards the color. Look forward to watching more..

@MattShannonPhoto 8 месяцев назад

Welcome to my channel! I am happy you found me. How are you enjoying the Z8 so far? A lot lighter than the Z9 but packed with all the same goodness.

Fantastic stuff Matt, very well done! I’m going to have to try my 300 f2.8 (with 2.0 TC) foot on my fluid head like that. Thanks for the idea. Tom KC3QAC

You are very welcome! Have you had a chance to try it yet?

The black&white is better. The attention of a viewer is caught much better in b&w on the animal eye which is the most important point on the picture.

Beautiful feedback thank you. I agree :)

B&W image was more captivating for me.

It is a good thing those Columbian Ground Squirrels didn't see you as a threat. Strength in numbers. I think they were sniffing you out to see if you were worth the hunt.

hmmmm good point. Luckily I was there for only one day so they didn't have enough time to plan an attack.

Nikon 200-500 F5.6,sometimes add a 1.4iii tele

I have that lens too, it is sweeeeeet! Well priced too. The TC 1.4 III is epic as well. Perfect combo.

Awesome video Matt - really enjoyed the ground squirrels. Are you shooting with auto ISO in these light conditions?

@MattShannonPhoto Год назад

I am glad you liked it! Yes, I set my camera to Manuel with auto ISO moving the exposure compensation in my favour if the scene is too bright or dark for my liking.

Hey Matt... Love the video. I reviewed your gear list, and noticed you shoot a Z9 and D850. Are you using F-Format lenses with adapters or do you also have Z Mount lenses? I am working to build a similar kit, and am wanting to use my D500 as a backup, and get a mirrorless as my primary. Thanks in advance for any insight!!

@MattShannonPhoto 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much, glad you liked the video! I mostly use F-mount lenses paired with the FTZ II adaptor. It will take some time and money to switch my lenses over to the Z lineup. I am in no rush since the quality of glass in the F-mount series is exceptional. The Z-series is a step up, but not enough at this moment to throw a much of money to switch over. Not to mention that I still use my D850 as a secondary camera. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for the question.
