- In this video I will show you how to photograph and make our garden birds look just that bit more special using some pops & aids.
All the items used for this were things I'm sure all of us have lying around in our sheds/garages etc, so all at very little expense.
The results from such an easy build and setup in my opinion look fantastic and all of you can do the same if you follow these small steps.

Finally got around to watching this today after you shared it to me on facebook, it makes a lot more sense of the robin photo, i need to make one of these but i dont have anywhere to put it in my flat, i need to figure out a way to make one i can take with me in my backpack to the bird's 🤔🤔
Amazing photos!! I loved the great-tit one near the end🤩🤩
Brilliant
What a brilliant idea, with a lot of variables, thanks bud.
Al.
Thank you so much. Yes, a lot of fun can be had doing this with an abundance of varied results. 😊👍
Nicely done and easily reversible. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much 😊. Glad you liked it 😊
Great set up and it looks portable.
Thank you Barry. Yes very easy and yes, very portable. I’m just in the process of building a bigger, more permanent one on the edge of our woods. Then will leave it for the winter to get established 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Great vid mate.ive been thinking of doing this for a while now ,just not got round to it .Great work pal,an the shots look great aswell 👍
I find it a nice way to get a different perspective of our lovely garden birds, also with an easy and cheap setup.
thank you for your kind words and keep us posted with your results 👍
This is so cool, mate. I enjoyed this video very much. I am also thinking about the same thing as yours, but we do not have a big space around our land. I will try one and share the video later. Thank you again.
Thank you Cam. As you can see, this is very low cost, very minimal space required, but a lot of fun and reward to be had 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Enjoyed this very much... Great video.... definitely food for thought there... Thanks 👍.... subscribed
Thank you for your kind feedback 😊. Yes, it’s quite a fun little project to do with in my opinion, great results. Obviously this can be done on a larger scale, but wanted to show it can be done for practically zero cost and you don’t need masses of space. 👍
@@tomchalephotography6477 Looking forward to trying it out in the next week or so.... just traded in My Sigma 150 - 600 C and bought a 200 - 500 Nikon to use with my D500.... don't upload to my channel here... but need to start. Thanks again and Happy Snapping 😁
@@walthollick8157 looking forward to seeing results my friend 👍. Staying native with lenses to bodies is a must…….well, it is for me anyway 😂. You can also find more of my work over on Facebook if you use it: Tom C Hale Photography
Hey Tom that's a brilliant idea. It must be very relaxing in your hide taking those bird shots .
What gave you that idea to do something like that?
Hi matmat. Thank you 🙏🏻. I just wanted to do something different and creative, and in my opinion, it worked out quite well. I love spending time in my hides, wether mobile or static, as long as I’m out with nature it does wonders for my mental health 😊
It's Brian by the way 🙂
@@matmat3703 oh 😂, obviously I didn’t get 4 when I put 2 and 2 together here 🤦🏼♂️
@@tomchalephotography6477 mat was my son who is no longer with us , anyway I've subscribed so I'll await more of your videos
good job!
Thank you 😊 🙏🏻
Nice channel pal
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻. It’s a start, I’d love to find time to do more, but as it’s just a hobby, family and work take priority 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Interesting idea to use silicone as a wall for your reflection pool. I used a black plant tray, 1200mm x 550mm for my set up and ended up having to use a LOT more water than you did. The drawback with my set up is that as the tray is filled, the weight of the water will deform the tray unless it is very well supported and throw off any careful levelling done previously. Will definitely try this out, thank you for posting. Any tips for keeping the pigeons away? 🙂 (They are quite welcome but DO tend to take charge and dominate in my garden).
Hi Alan, tank you for reaching out. Yes, another reason for my choice of setup is that it is only a temporary setup, purposely for that days shoot, and once done, 10mins and it’s dismantled and put away 🙌🏻😀. Fortunately, I’ve had no issue with pigeons on the occasions that I’ve set this up 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Also, if you noticed, I could really get away without using any water, due to using glass and also it being blacked out from the underside, so already look like water with great reflections due the glass 👌.
Kind regards
Tom
Great idea. Winter is close so I need to plan this for spring. Question. Do you take down your other feeders when doing this? Thanks for the great video
Hi Joe, thank you for reaching out 🙏🏻. Yes, I remove all feeders from all feed stations dotted around our gardens. I do this purposely to force attraction to the spot I want the birds to be in. I only do this if there is a specific shot I’m after, but most garden birds are friendly and not bothered about me getting to close to photograph them in normal circumstances, as in spontaneous shots. Hope this helps. 🙂
@@tomchalephotography6477 Thank you so much for the reply. I’m also going to try and set up a winter perch. Use snow instead of water 😀
@@joet9451 great idea 👌. Keep us posted with results 👌👌
Tom enjoyed this, the water feature is a great and effective piece of kit, a great idea which makes images much more interesting. Thanks for sharing this idea Mate 👍🏽👍🏽 Do you use continuous shooting and then pick your final image from the bunch of images?
Hi Lee, thank you kindly for your kind words. Yes, this kind of feature certainly enhances certain images 🙌🏻.
With regards to continuous shooting mode: yes, I always shoot in continuous high mode when photographing wildlife, more so on smaller subjects (you can actually hear my shutter throughout this video). On larger subjects, I still use the same mode/technique however I only fire off short burst of 3-5 images. I then have the gruelling task of going through all images on the computer and pick a select few of keeper’s. Maybe not the best way of doing things, but works for me 😊. Hope this helps?
Tom
@@tomchalephotography6477 Cheers Mate, yeah does make sense to me to, like you say especially with smaller subjects 👍🏽 will give this technique a go. Thanks Mate 👍🏽
@@leehanley71 feel free to give me a shout for any other help with techniques etc, more than happy to help 😊👍
Hi, how long have you been using the tripod? Are you satisfied with using the tripod? Are there any features of the tripod that you don't like?
Hi Reyhan, thank you for your question regarding the Innorel rt90c tripod.
I have had this tripod for about 14 months now. I originally purchased this tripod for use for my Astrophotography as I wanted a very sturdy and tall tripod, also strong enough to hold my cameras with big lenses and star tracking equipment on without fear of movement and vibration running through the tripod.
I am more than satisfied with this purchase for all aspects with my photography, to the point that my Carbon Manfrotto 190go tripod Is now only used as my vlogging camera tripod that only carries my DJI Osmo Gimbal and IPhone 12pro.
As for features, this tripod is very easy to use and the added feature of being able to swap out the flat fixed base for the levelling base within 3secs is a dream 👌. I’m also one for preferring the twist locking system on the legs/sections.
Pair this tripod with a good fluid video head like mine, I can’t have the tripod at it’s full extension as it’s too tall (and I’m 6 feet tall). Also to test strength, I fully extended the tripod, and I hung from the tripod using my hands and held my weight off the ground for as long as I wanted, and there was 0% flex anywhere, and that was 15st (95 kilo) hanging from the tripod. So strength and stability are no concerns whatsoever 👍.
As for cons, my honest opinion, I’m still yet to find one.
Best £300.00 spent on a tripod, and I can’t see me ever needing to buy another!
Hope this answers your question with enough detail.
Tom
@@tomchalephotography6477 Thank you very much great answer for me :)
On some sites, users have written about their hands getting oily, have you encountered such a problem?
@@ReyhanHamdi
Oily? No, never! In fact, my tripod is and always has been dry from day 1 yet still quiet and smooth. I won’t put any lubricants on it neither as I don’t want any product that may release any scent. If and when it starts to feel grindy/gritty I’ll just take it apart and clean/dry it thoroughly, put it back together and away I go. But after 14 months, I’ve still not had to do this, and I’ve had this tripod in deep s€$t over this period of time! A quick rinse in a stream or hose down at home and job done 👌.
Tom
@@tomchalephotography6477 Thank you so much :)
