Video

Daniel, I would love to be able to answer your question, but I can't. I've never used a Tamron zoom, so I can't give you a serious answer on that. The best thing is to see if there is a comparison video on CZcams of someone who has used both lenses. A hug and good weekend.

Thank you very much Nancy. I am the grateful one, because you have taken the time to watch my video and make me a nice comment. A big hug and have a nice weekend.🥰

Vielen Dank, Andrzej, für deine schönen Worte.🤗

Exactly, 1/1000 is a very high shutter speed, years ago it was even the limit. But if you use a 600mm lens on a camera with Crop Sensor (+-850mm) you notice that the field of view is quite small and the vibration of the hand is very noticeable. Now if we photograph small birds in flight, without a doubt 1/1000 is the lower limit. The early morning sun is really a wonderful light. A hug and thanks for commenting. have a nice weekend.

Thank you so much Artemis. 🤗

Absolument, Absolument !!, c'est pour cette raison que dans la vidéo suivante j'explique un peu plus en détail que cela doit être fait avec prudence, et de manière optimale sous la supervision d'un ornithologue. Le plus important est de veiller à ne pas déranger les oiseaux et à ne pas créer de risque dans leur comportement. Merci pour votre commentaire et bon week-end.

Thanks Rob, but I've been in Germany for 3 years and I still don't know the language very well, it's very difficult to be honest. Have a good weekend.

Don’t take the information presented here as an indicator for the state of photography in Europe. Actually the information presented here is rather basic by European standards, too. I also think that the majority of the “advantage” you claim is due to the much easier shooting conditions in America.

As soon as an American (better delineated as US citizen since anyone living in the Americas is technically American) says anything is better in America than in pretty much anywhere else in the world - especially when it comes to art - I immediately discount it. Most “Americans” who make comparisons with other countries have never been out of theirs. And anyone saying it is the best country on earth clearly is not aware that the US isn’t even the best country in this hemisphere. American exceptionalism needs to go.

Hello ! Thanks for your question🙂. The key is to achieve perfect focus on the bird (or other animal or object). To achieve this, I list a series of steps and procedures required to achieve it. A hug and have a good week.🤗

Wow, for the R5? That is undoubtedly a camera much superior to the quality of the lens. I would perhaps look at the option of the sport model, or the 60-600 model, in any case you will have to use the adapter.

@@MarioKilianPhotography Thanks. Ironically enough I discovered the 60-600 yesterday and am planning to purchase it instead.

Hola Julitro, que gusto saber de ti. Gracias por el comentario y te envío un gran abrazo.

Definitely😄. But it's not always, there are days when I only go out with the long lens, a sandwich and a bottle of water.☺

Thank you very much for your comment 🤗

You are absolutely right in what you say. Thank you very much for sharing.😃

Hello Berny, welcome and thank you very much.😃

Hello Jenny. How kind you are, thank you very much for your warm words😃 . I send you a big hug and have a beautiful week.🤗

Hi Ian, nice to read from you. With your first sentence you reminded me of my father, who always told me that without a tripod there is no good photo. Of course, those were times when it was very common to have to shoot in low light, and keeping the camera stable was only using a tripod. My childhood was surrounded by tripods... Nowadays, as you say, cameras having stabilizers like lenses has been a big change in the way we take photos. Ian, thank you very much for the additional tips!!! I send you a big hug and have a great week!!

Hola Leo !!! pero que gusto leerte !!! Me alegro que te gustara el video, la verdad es que es ceirto lo que comentas, especialmente tu experiencia con el Condor. Lo mismo veia cuando estabamos en Farellones, el poco respeto tanto a la naturaleza como a los animales, espero que eso pronto cambie. En todo caso, aca en Alemania, es bastante lo que se ha avanzado y las penas por contmainar o danar animales son altisimas !!. Un abrazo Leo y muchos slaudos a todos por alla !!

Thank you !! 🤗

you are welcome 🤗

Thank you very much Brent, I'm glad the video helped you.

Hello Philippe, thank you very much. I would also like it to have a positive impact. In fact, I had planned to use some slightly cruder images that I took during a day of photography, but then I better discarded them, but it was incredible how little respect some of them had.😔

Exact. And the most incredible thing is that they even lose respect for their own lives, just a few days ago a woman died from a selfie with a locomotive... Imagine if there is no respect for one's own life that is left due to respect for nature and animals. A hug and have a good weekend my friend.

Friend Adam, it's just as you say. In recent weeks I have encountered many photographers who have been disturbing newborn birds, and it has been terrible. For this reason I found it important to say these words. A hug my friend.

Great Janner, thanks for joining the channel.🤗 the sigma lens with the Nikon definitely makes a good team, you have to be patient and learn to get the best out of it, with its restrictions of course, but personally I love it. Big hug 🙂

If that's all you heard, you missed the point.

Vielen Dank Walter 🙂

thanks meka !!🤗

Gracias 🥰

Great !!

The weather here is like a roller coaster!! one day hot, one day rain, hail, storm... Let me know how you get on with the photos, if you have any questions, send me an email and send me a photo and we'll review it together. A hug.

Hello Pedro, thank you for your question. In the video I want to explain that the key point is precise focus, for which I list several considerations to achieve precisely the perfect focus, in turn to close the circle I list some additional details that are important. In summary, I want to say that it is not a factor of exposure, but rather achieving the appropriate focus for each situation. A hug and greetings.

My friend Adam, thank you very much for your words. I am very glad that you are back after that well-deserved vacation. I send you a big hug and I hope that one day we will see each other again. A hug friend.🤗

You're welcome, thanks for watching.🤗

Olá Bola Azul!!, Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário, mando um grande abraço da Alemanha. Bola Azul, estive um tempo no Brasil, país lindo, lindo!! Na verdade o Biguá é o mesmo pássaro da foto, aqui é conhecido como “Cormoran” ou “Kormoran” em alemão. Seu nome é “Phalacrocorax Brasilianus”. Para ser mais específico, o Biguá é uma subespécie do "Phalacrocorax Auritus" um pouco maior e mais pesado e com perfil de cabeça mais achatado. Mas é praticamente o mesmo lindo pássaro. Geralmente existem várias subespécies, dependendo do continente onde vivem, e diferem um pouco no peso, na cor do bico e em algumas penas que circundam a cabeça e o peito. Um abraço Bola Azul!!!

Olá Mário....obrigado pelas informações sobre o "Biguá" .....o meu "user name" é Bola Azul....mas o meu nome é Daniel Gentili.....costumo tirar fotos de animais, flores, árvores.... que publico no site " Bird Forun" onde o meu "user name" é "orozimbo"....Abraço

@@bolaazul1298 Excelente Danilo!!! Chegando em casa e com um bom café vou ver o portal de fotos. Bom final de semana !!

Yes, yes, indeed the gear contributes to facilitating a good result more than improving it, I think. Now, in the equipment I would highlight the lens more than anything, which is mainly responsible for a good result. In the face of a bad result, it is important to analyze well and see what is really not working. In my case, for example, vision is an issue... but I have learned to deal with it. Luzr, with your gear..., I know that if something doesn't work... it's probably not the gear ... a hug.😁

@@MarioKilianPhotography Hi Mario - i still have lots to do with regard to solidifying the techniques. There is also the fact that, at times, i do not work hard enough to get into the best possible position and, because this birding thing is not my main interest, when i am in position i don't tend to remain there for long enough to get the best possible image. So, those are things to change. That said, I do have problems with the gear i am using. Probably the main one is a 13 year old DSLR with limited AF functionality, no tracking, average DR, and low burst rate. The sensor being small is not, in itself, a problem, but it does mean that you need to get the target as large as possible in the frame in order to minimize cropping, and this makes keeping a moving target in frame, or reacquiring it, difficult. I don't believe that the optical quality of my lenses is a problem, despite them being old (they are very high quality and in good condition). What is a bit difficult sometimes is that handholding 3.6kg of lens on over a kg of camera can get a bit wobbly - again challenging for keeping a moving target in frame. They are also, in combination with the body, painfully slow at acquiring focus. All a good game, however - we will carry on!

@@luzr6613 Yes, I understand, now the highest requirements are for moving objects such as birds, formula 1, airplanes, etc. For other types of photography, I don't think cutting-edge equipment is so necessary. For many years I took photos of models and jewelry with equipment that was more than 10 years old at that time. On the other hand Luzr, your photos are INCREDIBLE, I must say that they transport me to the place, they make me want to be there and discover more. a hug friend

@@MarioKilianPhotography You're dead right - for certain genres the expectations have been driven through the roof by developments in the technology, whilst in others little has changed. For me, the most important aspect of this is the potential for the technology to provide benefits beyond the image - so, the ability to represent parts of the natural world in ways that were never possible before, and for that to have a positive educative effect. The dark side is that it can also be employed to increase the appeal of things that we really need to be growing out of. And yes... we still have landscapes and flowers and architecture et al where the tech makes little difference, and i'm happy for that! All the best!

Je zou dit kunnen compenseren met de belichting, de lucht zal overbelicht zijn, maar de vogel zou er goed uit moeten zien. Bedankt voor je reactie. 🙂

@@MarioKilianPhotographyklopt maar dan blaas je de lucht uit,ik probeer de belichting alleen op de vogel te krijgen dat lukt mij een enkele keer. Mario bedankt voor uw reactie

@@MrDiebertie een knuffel en goed weekend!!

i'm happy you liked it Ram. 🤗

Thank you Sunoj ☺

Hi Rich, thanks for your comment. Good suggestion, the truth is that the rope does indeed weigh a little, but it comes from my climbing times.🤗

😆😆Yes, the truth is that I have the habit of always leaving a tripod in my car, the same in my wife's car, and I have noticed that on average in a month the screws have come loose, especially in the months of summer, hence I say approximately 3 weeks. Now, in a 4x4, they should undoubtedly be loosened faster.😄 big Hug !!

Hi Robert, Don't even tell me...it has happened to me countless times when I have left the mounting plate either at home or on some other camera.😅..fortunately I always leave with more than one in my bag.
