This is a 90-minute Tour de force in exposure, focusing and wildlife photography. The shortest 90 minutes that I have ever spent watching a photography lecture. Ever. Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you to Chas Glatzer, B&H and also Canon for producing this. (OK, yeah, so I am still saving for a Nikon D500... but at least B&H will still end up happy...)
Great imagery by a very knowledgeable photographer who knows his stuff hands-on, and on the technical side also.
super useful techniques, one of best tutorial ever. great wildlife pictures. thanks a lot
Really great video / advanced tutorial , go direct to my favorites
An excellent talk, well illustrated and some gorgeous images. Very illuminating (pun intended!) Thank you very much.
I wanted to say thank you for this awesome video. After watching it, I’ve ‘made the switch’ to shooting in manual with spot metering. I primarily photograph birds (primarily bald eagles) and my photos have improved dramatically. It took watching a few times to wrap my head around the techniques you describe but I got it.
Today I went out in overcast conditions. I had an eagle sitting in a tree about 100 yards away. I took a reading on a white goose that was nearby, locked in my settings and I was good for the rest of the shoot. It couldn’t have been easier.
I plan to now watch the rest of the videos you have here on YT.
Yeah, there is the Canon ad in the beginning of this video, but the rest of the video is tremendous! Switching out of priority modes and into manual mode as Charles recommends and using his guidelines and pointers has given me the control of my photos that I’ve always wanted but have been unable to achieve until now. Thanks for the video!
Another favourite talk.
Even the Canon commercial is fun to watch.
Stunning imagery, Chas, totally inspiring. Thank you B&H.
Thank you Chas for teaching. You are a great teacher! I love your perspective and practical application. Thank you again. Kim

Excellent presentation..........and I really admire your work!
I am loving the B and H videos, thank you so much for posting these. This is the second one from Mr. Glatzer and yes at first I thought a cannon ad was running before the video, but I did like the info on why he choose the lens and cameras he did, and having first learned photography using black and white film the info he is sharing is really helping better use my digital camera. I see he has another video and i plan to watch it too, wish he had a book of his work I could buy for reference and inspiration, hint hint.
Wow, there was so much good information there. Fantastic.
Hi Chas my name is Edwin Im a little confuse because if Im on manual mode and iso is 200 how can I add 2 stop of conpensation after meterering the camera if your on manual and the compensation cant be added like when you are on Ap or Tv ,sorry i think Im confusing you with the way Im asking the question
25:00 to skip the Canon Ad...
Molybdan42 that’s a long ad. Thanks!
thanks... I am a canon user, but ....
Thank you for your very clear explaination on the metering!
Excellent presentation, awesome easy tips!
Also if your doing a class in the San Francisco bay area could you let me know thanks
Very informative. I always enjoy b&h presentations. Much more informative that contemporary CZcams videos.
I LOVE your work. Absolutely breathtaking! I have watched this same video at least four times. My brain is froggy now, (compliments to aging), so I am trying to get this stuff burned into my little coconut. ;) Thank you SO much for sharing this valuable information. I live in NW Wyoming and have a trip planned for the Tetons in May, so I am trying to get as prepared as I can. I too shoot with the 7d mii with a Tamron 150-600mm G2. Thinking about the 100-400 L G2
Very good lesson on spot metering !
I love my 7dMark II. It's really an amazing camera.
Awesome video.
At ~38:00 Chas mentions a Really Right Stuff bracket for the Canon 600mm lens. I called RRS and they said they do not make any such bracket. Does anyone have any more info on this?
What the presenter may be referring to is the Really Right Stuff Long Lens Y-Support Package with Dual Quick Release Clamps B&H # RECBYSQRPKG. bhpho.to/2iFQhAF
Thanks! That looks to be correct.
Outstanding
great information , brill
wow great vid..thanks sir and b&h!
sooo... What is the name of the detail extracting software?
When shooting in RAW, you would use your RAW editing software to extract detail from the highlights and shadows in your image when editing your image during post-processing. As this video was sponsored by Canon, their native RAW editing software is Canon Digital Photo Professional, which is included with the purchase of Canon DSLR cameras. However, you may use other RAW editing software for similar performance, such as Adobe Lightroom CC, Adobe Camera RAW, CaptureOne Pro 11, DxO PhotoLab 2, On1 Photo RAW 2019, Luminar, etc.
Is there a way to get the cheat sheets/informative cards presented in the presentation?
Unfortunately these are not available.
screen grabs?
I did screen grabs on my Mac, Cmmd, Shift & 4 and you can drag to include only what you want. I think printed them out and they are excellent.
Amazing career!
Biased? Yes, but so am I as a Canon user. This would have been awesome even if he was using any other brand of camera.
I love the enthusiasm and practicality of the "review". And I also enjoyed the practical hints and tips.
I have watched this several times just for the entertainment value.
great video , si many tips that help me bridge mental gaps
That is some advanced thinking
I like the metering info,maybe i can use it on double colour,double tone back ground..otherwise,i will do my own stuff...But still any info u put in your head is like storing gold in your hidden treasure hunt.Photography is a treasure hunt,only few people get it....
For some may not to choose to do it professionally,. For the rest, it's how to get to do it professionally.
The day George Castanza picked up a camera 😂
@6:50 why are the focus points more to the left then the right? If that image is cropped then its so fake.
Longest explanation if auto-exposure lock ever haha. Some good tips though
I'm gonna change my name to Chase.
This is literally just a Canon ad. Over 1/3 of the video is all about a stupid camera and lens, where's the content?
skip to ~25:00
It's more like an ad for a specific metering method, haha. Once you get to the meat of the video, anyway.
It’s good to learn about what’s out there 👍
He’s sponsored by a camera company, that’s part of the gig. You want free content? The content after about 25 minutes is awesome.
10:08 he is pushing crop factor of 1.6 as if it some brilliant thing. That is the BS camera makers were using "Its not a flaw, it's a feature". Put that lens on a FF and crop it 1.6 and guess what, you get the same thing with the same DOF. (OK, not exact, due to the physics of lenses , but so close as to not matter)
As other say it is a Canon commercial, and at this point "Bye-Bye.'
Actually, with the same sensor technology you'll generally get more detail shooting a lens on a crop sensor than by shooting full frame and cropping to the same angle of view. It really is true that outdoor sports photographers and wildlife photographers often prefer crop sensors.

Actually in retrospect this also makes sense, but need someone else to verify.
The logic being that with 2 24mpx sensors with similar technology, the crop sensor being use at 24mpx will have more ppi than a 24mpx FF sensor cropped to the same angle of view. The FF cropped will only have 16mpx (?) in the cropped area. However generally in same gen technology the FF sensor has more pixels. More room.
But I do grant that it makes sense.
Hmm...
Ah, the claim I'm making is actually more extreme than that.
I believe that if you had, for example, a full sized sensor with a 24 megapixel sensor, and then cropped it down to an 16 megapixel (or whatever) image, and then got the same shot using a crop sensor camera that was 16 megapixels with the same field of view, and the same generation of sensor, the crop sensor would still perform slightly better than the full frame crop in terms of perceived detail. Tony Northrup's channel has some tests on this, and I've also read it elsewhere.
Also, what resolution you get is pretty complicated--your lens rather than your sensor resolution will often determine perceptual megapixels (perceived details). Strangely, if a lens on a 24 mp sensor resolves at 19mp, sometimes on a 36mp sensor it will resolve higher--at 25 or something like that. So detail is a lot more complicated than the resolution of your sensor, or the ppi of a certain resolution, or anything like that.
Interesting that your response to my response does not show.
Will have to look up Tony's vid. Send link if you can.
What you said (turned up in my google account) does not make sense. I am willing to grant my above (or below wherever it ended up. But that a 16mpx crop sensor will still be better than a 24mpx sensor cropped to 16mpx is hard to swallow. Now that moving the camera etc will make differences I get. The only possibility I can see is that it is easier to make a good lens for crop sensor than FF. But there are a lot of comments on various blogs that the best lenses are for FF.
I have not and will not test, so just repeating what I have heard.
Ah, I guess he doesn't do an exact comparison for the same megapixel count, but he talks about it in the video "Should you use full frame lenses on a crop body?" I'm pretty sure he talks more about it somewhere else though, but I don't remember where off the top of my head.
confusing people with metering modes..are you a photographer or are you a camera technician? No content on subjects. Do yourself a favour and get a full frame camera for wildlife photography --.(I own of 7D Mark II and looking for a buyer)
You obviously don't know who Charles Glatzer is. Chas is one of the most knowledgable and skilled photographers I have ever met. I attended one of his Loon workshops, and he elevated my photography, in just a few days, more than I could have possibly imagined.
are you kidding me? I'm thinking we should ask you the same question especially if you don't even understand metering modes. LMAO maybe stick with your phone.
