Photographing Snow Bunting in Scotland
zhlédnutí 661Před 5 měsíci
On a recent trip to Scotland we tried to track down some Snow Bunting to photograph. These birds do breed in Scotland but they are very scarce. The Cairngorms Ski Centre is normally a good location but with very little snow about the Snow Bunting proved more elusive...

New sub and some absolutely stunning images.. just changed from my SonyA77mk2 to the RX10 mk4.. I'll definitely be giving these settings a try.. truly inspirational.
Enjoyable, very nice work!
Thank you Mike
"Get a shave or she'll stay"!!!! Classic!!!!
Music is too harsh and loud.
AWESOME tutorial, AWESOME photos, judicious use of good music - not competing against his clear voice. Had no choice but to like and sub. Got my start in bird photography when I kept noticing a particular bird (turned out to be an American Kestrel) on a neighborhood power line, overlooking a grassy area and canal. Bought a Canon T-3 with it's nifty 50 kit lens - but it wasn't enough reach. Bought a 70-200mm lens, a bit better. Started going to birding hotspots and quickly found out that I'd need a faster camera (7D Mark II) and a longer lens (bought a 400mm) to capture "BIF'. I'll be added an extender (have it, but never used it) to "Reach out an touch someone", as they say. Lately I've been into macro photography, hence a Canon mirrorless R10 and a great, but "inexpensive", Tokina f2.8 100 mm FF macro lens. I'm just about 8 decades (Imperial, not Metric) old - and my back dictates that looking downward is less painful than looking upward... Expect to have many more subscribers if your upcoming videos are of the same quality - looking forward to them!
Nice video Phil

I have referred several friends to this video so I don't have to say anything... 😎 Plus, I'm doing them a favor. All of these great points are key - well done. My fave three: (1) Be patient; it takes time to hone your skills to get where you want to go - months and even years. (2) Instead of getting frustrated when you miss, which can be understandable, smile when it doesn't work out - remember how lucky you are, where you are, and that you're going to get another chance; (3) Success rates are low; live with it, keep on keeping on! Keep up the great work, Phil; love your inspirational images...
Thanks very much Mike…you should be my agent 😃
