    In my experience nothing beats distance (that is getting closer to your subject) even with long glass 600mm being closer is the best. Two main reasons: atmospheric conditions are reduced and you keep more pixels on the subject. I have now made a conscious decision to only go for photo-safaris in places where the wildlife is closer or just shoot more environmental portraits if the wildlife is far.

    • @Duade
      @Duade  Pƙed 3 lety

      Dimitris, totally agree and that is always the challenge with birding, getting the bird big enough in the frame if you are not doing habitat shots. Cheers, Duade

  • @fernandoish9194
    @fernandoish9194 Pƙed 3 lety +10

    I can totally relate. The Canon 400 mm F5.6 is just a wonderful lens. I had the same sharpness issue with my old 70-300 and the change to the 400 was massive. You can still take great pictures with a cheap lens if the conditions are right, but they’ll never be as sharp, they won’t have that definition and that soft and out of focus background. The feeling you get when you finally see that quality in your own images...
    Great video, as always!

    Excellent, straight to the point film, typical of Australian/Kiwi's! Well done!! For what it's worth, have gone to the dark side, from Canon to MF3's - Panasonic G85, then GH5 - and am loving this system!! The 2 X crop factor for reaching wildlife, image stabilisation, the compact size,, and reduced cost of camera and lenses. Plus the image quality is right up there, or I wouldn't use them! However as you say most cameras these days produce great results. Keep up the great work!!

    • @Duade
      @Duade  Pƙed 3 lety

      Baz, thanks for the feedback, great to hear you are enjoying the MF3's, I would love to get hold of a system to test for myself. The weight of mirrorless is incredible and when I was walking around with the R6 RF100-500 combo it really was enjoyable. Cheers, Duade

      Agree 100%. I shoot birds with a G9ii (excellent autofocus) and the 50-200mm (very sharp!) and 100-400mm (huge reach) G Vario lenses and get really good results.
      Everyone complains about M4/3 and noise, but with the new noise reduction tools available it's a total non-issue now.
      If you can afford the big Canon/Nikon/Sony glass (which I certainly can't) then an Micro 4/3 system is a worthy alternative.

  • @BURTBROWN
    @BURTBROWN Pƙed 2 lety +1

    One of the terrific things you do is display your less than sharp photos.... I've gotten similar shot and then in better light gotten sharper quality. But a lot of folks starting off don't understand that - so you are doing a great service to show how the quality was when you started with a certain lens and how things improved greatly with the better lens!!!!!! Thanks!!!!

      @Duade  Pƙed 2 lety

    @Ulfie_ Pƙed měsĂ­cem

    Ironically, I made the same mistake with the exact same 70-200mm and teleconverter and came to the conclusion my images were just too soft. Ended up reselling them and basically getting what I paid for them back and invested in the Sigma 60-600mm. Only used it a couple of times so far as it's still super new to me but I've loved every second!
    I've been watching a bunch of your videos lately and they've been so incredibly helpful!

    What was very valuable to me in this presentation was your comparing an ISO ceiling of a 7D (at 1600, but preferably 800) to today's cameras. (Also, being able to shoot as slow as 1/60 if circumstances allow). I'm new at photography, and purchased a 7D as my entry level camera. I was quite confused why my image quality was often poor following advise offered that was geared to more modern higher performing cameras. Your video bridged that gap for me. Thank you kindly.

    • @Duade
      @Duade  Pƙed rokem

      It is my pleasure Dennis, when I had the 7D I rarely went pas ISO800 and ISO1600 if I had too. I am unsure if you have tried DXO Pure RAW to reduce noise but it is worth trying on your files first. You can get at trial via this link, Cheers, Duade tidd.ly/3hH0Kta

    I just got myself a very low shutter count Nikon D300s. I have since watched countless videos where ppl were showing yo how to get sharper images. The prblem with that is, they ALL HAD either L series lenses, or Nikon equivelant pro lenses. Sir, you are the first to say just how important good lenses are when it comes to bird and wildlife photography. And Im sure this applies to any photography. I thank you for the informative video sir.

    Hi,I recently bought 40d ,2886 actuations ,100 euros, like new .With this camera I can get fantastic bird photos with ef 400mm Do ll in good light.You have always to go near and have recently light. That is a problem in Finlands dark winters with 5 hours sunshine -you have to photograph always in the middle of the day.On the other hand I have got fantastic photos with my R6 and RF 600mm f11 in ambient light.

    YES! It always amazes me how I can get a really poor shot and a really good shot of the same bird in the same spot, just seconds apart just by looking at light(&angle), getting closer and checking your settings! Worth mentioning that third party long lenses like from Sigma or Tamron are great budget options that can give great results and the reach you’re after too.

    Thanks Duade great video as usual. Another free important part of getting better image with the gear you have is to figure out what image makes you happy- i think your Red-capped Robin is the perfect example- my priority is behaviour and surrounding, so to me the first image would be my highlight- i remember the first time you featured these and it was a major break into my venture into bird photo, once i understood what I was trying to accomplish.

    • @Duade

  • @ernreeders1487
    @ernreeders1487 Pƙed 3 lety +1

    Black-browed Albatross I think.
    The Sony 100-400mm works for birds as well and still does good IQ with a 1.4xTC.
    In the Nikon world, the 500mm PF is great with a crop sensor, is light and sharp and price-wise sits between the 200-500 and big primes.
    Re IQ, I would add composition and moment. Both help make a photo that's engaging. Reference the yawn on your Pacific Black Duck or your Kookaburra with bug.

    A lot of work must have gone into this video Duade which you should be congratulated on. Lots of helpful content which I really appreciate. Looks like I need to buy a hide as I am just not getting closer enough to get the quality I want even with a 500mm Prime with a 1.4x. Keep up the videos as they are some of the best photograph videos on CZcams. All the best, Steven

    Brilliant video with clear instructions and real-life examples. Am an enthusiastic FujiFilm X-E2s shooter with a Fuji XF 55-200 mm lens as my main lens for bird photography. I practice by shooting those birds which are commonly seen at the backyard. Every point you had emphasised in this video is so relevant to me. Thanks very much for spreading the knowledge.

    I used the Sigma 150-600C and Tamron 100-400 Di VC (both EF mounts) and was quite happy with my bird photos. But I recently sold them to buy the RF 100-500, and the difference is striking. No issues with AF pulsing, exquisitely responsive dual focus motors, and breathtaking image qualty.

    I echo some of the comments below. While (I thought) I knew some of the concepts here, this is a brilliant video of what really affects image quality. 2 really standout for me:
    1. The part about using hides, perches etc to get close and not randomly walking through the area for chance opportunities. I have done this too much and haven't gotten anywhere!
    2. The one on Post-processing struck home - I never thought of it that way, since I disliked photographers changing the photo too much, but didn't realize that you *can* show your vision of the photo with some help from technology.
    Subscribing to your channel without any hesitation. Thanks again for the extremely valuable information!

    You are so right about the 6 facts for good quality images. My belief is that other than the wildlife shooting technique, understand the camera gears are equally important. I often used the fastest shuttle speed to take wildlife shots on 5D4 without over ISO 3200, maximum 6400. However, this rule can become 6400-12800 on R5. Thanks for the excellent tutorial video on light vs ISO and Tv. I also have more success BIF on x1.4 III than x2.0 tele-converter with EF 100-400 II.

    I'm new to your channel and I really like the different perspectives from which you look at an image and also at possible problems where a few other youtubers only say "full frame is everything". Thanks that you proof us that's not the case. Like you say, it makes it easier to e.g. catch birds in flight in low light and still have a good quality of the image. Thanks for motivating simply to go out and try and have fun.
