you have just made bird photography so much more accessible for a much older, not quite an old man yet, who has as much fitness as he used to. if I can take photos that I can frame and give away as Christmas gifts or birthday gifts I will be delighted.
Nice to hear it James, glad you enjoyed!
That is fantastic advice Espen. An outdoor bird studio is so rewarding. Some of my favorite images I took out of my window or from my porch. thanks for putting this video together.
Thank you Josh 🙂 a great way to take images for sure, can’t believe how fast they go through the food though!
Great job!
Thank you for motivating me into getting the camera back out. Now to make some set up places for the birds in the garden.
Glad to hear it! Best of luck
@@EspenHelland cheers dude! 🤟
Concise and comprehensive guide - thank you for assembling this Espen. I particularly like the 2:1 distance tip although that isn't easy to achieve in our garden. No worries though, same rule will apply when out and about.
Cheers Alan, I use the 2x rule as rough estimate if it's worth to pursue the image all the time in the field!
Awesome stuff Espen. Doing this is so rewarding.. and great fun too.
Absolutely, thanks Paul!
I have set up two feeding stations which I can view from the summer house side window. I hide behind camouflage netting. Clearly need to upgrade perch’s to the natural looking branches, that would really improve the finch and tit pictures. I have a log hanging from the bird table which has multiple holes stuffed with fat tubes. The GSW’s love it and I have some lovely shots of them. Thanks for great tips.
Excellent, good luck! Cheers David
Amazing shots. Very nicely done and more informative. Thank you. Lots of new and beautiful shots.
Thank you!
Great tips Espen. I did put my feeder last week and theres lot of action 😃waiting on for winter and snow for beautiful shots👍
Nice one! Good luck :) hoping for some snow this year ads well
Excellent Video, Beautiful Photos, many thanks for sharing.
Amazing preparations and footage. 👌
Thank you 🙂
Great tips Espen. I have some sort of a home made setup in my garden and one of my best bird photographs are actually taken in my garden right outside my window here.
But the way you did your setup gave me some new ideas .. Thanks :D
Thanks Trond! Glad to hear it 🙂
Great tips, Espen. Enjoyed the video. As I transition from an apartment to a house, these are so handy - TY :)
Cheers Miguel! And congrats on a new house!
@@EspenHelland Thank you Espen!
thank you for sharing!
Nice vídeo! And great tips! My best photography tips are to have patience and enough light to take the photo while the bird is approaching to the bird feeder, and take the photo while they are flying. Thanks a lot for your vídeo. 📷🤓
Excellent! Cheers Roger :)
Great video,thanks for share.
Great video again and always good ideas and informative. Thanks. Phil
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Good tips, thanks!
Thank you very much... 🙏🏻
Great and interesting... 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"SALUDOS... 👋🏻🙋🏻♂️😃"
Good tips Essen. I have lots of birds on my feeders it’s like an aviary sometimes which I like to see. I had a Sparrowhawk take a young starling a few weeks ago which was a bit scary but I managed to get a lovely picture, also get rats underneath, not such a good idea. Have to try to control that
That's amazing Andrew, hoping to get a sparrowhawk one day :)
Hi Espen, nice video. I regularly set up in the garden and on a private permission I have access to. I totally agree its a great way to get images especially when you first start out. One thing I have yet to try is setting up a pool for bathing or reflection shots, maybe this could be covered in one of your future posts ;)
Good idea!
"Birds land on my twig" 😅 - Great video, top tips!
I think I have similar feeders. In mine there is a hole/indentation in the bottom of the feeder so you can put it up on a pole 😉 it eliminates some of the unwanted perch options for your birds.
That's a great idea! I should look for one, thanks!
Great, informative video as always Espen. Your garden looks fantastic too. Nothing better than hanging the feeders up at this time of the year. I get regular Bullfinches and Nuthatches and they make a wonderful subject for bird photography. I'm crossing my fingers that this year I manage to attract some winter migrants, namely Brambling or if i'm incredibly fortunate, maybe even a Waxwing...
One issue I have in this field is that my garden is really dark. It's surrounded by very large, overbearing trees so decent lighting is at a premium. I'm very much a novice in bird photography and I shoot in Auto-ISO mode. However, because my garden is so dark, the ISO usually sits at 3200, no matter what shutter speed I use. I appreciate this might be a unique issue but if you could offer any advice, that would be great. Cheers Espen.
Awesome, I just had a brambling visit some berry trees outside. Didn't manage a good photo this time around though.
Yes, a dark garden is unfortunate, I often shoot very low shutter speeds to get around this. I'm regularly down at 1/50s and lower. I take a burst of shots and I usually get a few sharp ones. If you're already as low as you can go maybe you can feed nearby at the edge of a woodland maybe?
Also, use Topaz DeNoise or DxO to get rid of the noise, both are brilliant.
Fantastic video, thanks a lot. I have one question. How many time is need to wait for bird when you put the food?
Thank you.
Thanks Srđan! So many factors play into how long it takes for the birds to start feeding that it's very hard to say. Are there lots of birds in the area? Are they used to being feed from feeders, are there other food sources in the area? Best thing to do is just to start feeding and keep topping it up :)
Very good video shame I get no birds in the winter and only 3 or 4 in the Summer. 😂😂
Thanks Wayne! That’s a real shame
👍👍👍
I leave my garden unkept I get all the neighbours complaining lol
Good ;)
What kind of camera and lens is Recommended without spending a bomb? Maybe few hundred quid
Followed instructions to the site to enter and got 'This contest is no longer accepting entries.'
Hi Russel, did you follow the link on this post: www.espenhelland.com/wildlife-photography-blog/back-garden-bird-photography
A few people have entered so it should be working. Let me know if you still can't enter.
Background is too dark. Lighter backgrounds generally produce nicer images. imho
The nice thing about rigging up your own branches is that you can pretend to be a wildlife photographer even when you're just faking it.
this guy doesnt know what he is talking about, take photos how you want. Not how he tells you to.
