👏👏👏👏

Big slow birds are easy, Try getting a sharp photo of a tree swift in flight.

Beautifull species!🦆

What a pretty little bird! I recently sat on my back porch and watched a little goldfinch each dandelion seeds off the ones growing in my yard. It ate for about ten minutes! I loved watching it! It was so pretty!

Nice

Do the birds fly off after the shot because of the flash?

Thanks, really enjoy this type of video!

So Ray was you in bird detection mode? Thanks loved the video!

Hei man. I really enjoy and inspire from these shooting sessions. I said it a lot of times 😅but is true. I love the two shots on the branch.

'Not target migrating species'..... that is my problem right now and I find it demoralizing when I know I am ignoring birds because it's not the one on my list...and I know I need to stop the 'birding' and get back to the photography. I got to spend time with Louisiana Waterthrush this past February in Cuba since we have none up here in Eastern Ontario. They are a wonderful species to photograph but I didn't get anything close to the quality of your images.

i feel like the d810 was when (36mp) was when this became apparent , more obvious w 45 , having said if a more extreme crop is needed the tc will help a bit to keep final image high enough mp ( at least 12 -20 ish)

I love these videos. It's like being beside you as you get the images. You are a good teacher and know how to explain what is important and what is fun to hear.

Oh my. How Beautiful

Beautiful 😍

Just got back from Moab. Such an awesome place. Town is a bit to busy for me. First night we stayed about 23 miles out of town not to many birds. Great landscape with full moon. Other 2 nights was off the river with lots of birds. Will go back and stay longer next time.

Stunning clip!😊

beautiful bird and video

Wow those are some difficult birds to photograph. Nice how you show the time and effort behind those lovely shots. Just got my Z8 and have been trying it out on small birds. AF seem to have a learning curve as I am migrating from d850

Was that a Savannah sparrow?

Why aperture priority instead of manual with auto ISO? Also, what species were the sparrows?

Magnificent Ray🎉

When I first saw this video I thought it was my wife

How absolutely beautiful 📸

Amazing encounter...

So cute!

I could almost cry they are so beautiful. What miraculous birds. Saw one today for what I believe is the first time, down near the harbor by my home.

Highly unlikely they would have attacked her. Buuut I guess you never know. Especially when you’re on your own.

One of my shots of a great blue heron won a gallery award during this same time period. As the sun came up the smoke turned the sky blood red. The pond where I was shooting picked up some of that red reflection and I caught the GBH standing on a log in the water preening. It made a good composition that the juror liked and I got an award. So, something good for me came out of all that smoke. Other than that it didn't help my COPD a bit.

If your purpose is print some pictures could be, but if you use your photos only for digital support not really. But that is my personal position. Nice video!

What an unbelievable shot.

Tim's work is terrific and this shot is a ripper. The mist adds so much atmosphere.

Awesome my favorite bird ❤

Ray great photo shoot on edits the second one which is my favorite the only thing I would have done is crop a few inches off the bottom the white water is a little to much does not add to the photo in the bottom. Great job with the motion it must have been a fun day I need to ask how many times were you saying on the golden eye (I wish you were a drake) I would have been muttering under in my mind wish you were a drake. Eric Hansen great job

Nice video. Shame you didn't have a drop in ND. I feel like I should pick up a ND and polarizers constantly in my bag so I don't feel sorry for myself in moments like these. Especially when shooting shore birds or by the water. I get how you feel about mallards, lol. I think as wildlife photographers we should not dismiss common species. They are really great tools for learning techniques also while everyone thinks that they are common and seen everywhere its funny that it actually turns out that very few photographers actually photograph them. It's rare to see a good picture of common species like sparrows, mallards or even common mergansers.

The gels would help the light blend so it doesn't look so obvious.

Wich monopod you use and movng headball on it?

Thanks so much for the cool review, I am very interested in being able to edit after my outdoor shoots, wherever I'm at - beach, forest, car, wherever. My question is, is it possible to connect to your mac virtual display if you don't have internet? Like, if I'm at a spot with no cell signal?

Lovely photos!

You have to come to Chile, Ray!

Wow a video I can show my kids thanks beautiful birds

❤

😮Absolutely gorgeous 💛

What a beauty ✨

Absolutely gorgeous image!!

Loving this “Story of the Shot” series Ray! I find them very educational for practical application when out in the field! Thank you!!

I do live in a house, so often will photograph in the same areas. Your video was a good reminder about knowing your habitat and wildlife behaviors.

Fantastic 🎉

Also love to see the RAW and the edit, well done on the processing !

Awesome shot, and thanks for sharing the story ! 🎉

Ray, I just have to be honest. I didn't see either of these Warblers in our recent workshop. I think I could've worked with these subjects a little longer then the ones we saw... 😆Great video as always. Practical tips on AF for dslr users, well done
