How I video Wildlife Canon R5 - Owl Photography
Vložit

- In this video I will be explaining how I video wildlife using my Canon R5, over the past year I have been creating CZcams videos I'm since then being doing a lot more videography with the Canon R5, so I thought it be a good idea to create a video on how I use the Canon of five and what my settings are for videography when photographing wildlife and birds in flight.
Also in this video I have a fantastic one to one session with a barn owl that literally is flying around hunting in front of me which I managed to get some wonderful video footage of the barn owl in flight and also some great photographs as well.
I will also be giving one lucky subscriber a chance to receive my Sirui tripod that's how I reviewed in my last video if you didn't see that you can see that in the following link here.
So just another great trip out photographing wildlife here in the UK with my Canon R5

Thanks for the great tips on video settings. Yes tripod.
Yes Tripod, another great video
Hi Ashley....another good quality video with some interesting tips aswell. Bempton never fails to deliver does it, its a fantastic site. Yes tripod!
Yes to the tripod 😎 some great insight into your work. Awesome job 👍
Great video. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much
Yes tripod. Also, really enjoying your channel, keep it up!
Bempton cliffs is on my list to visit next year. Thanks for explaining about the video settings. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Tripod yes.
Yes tripod.
I've just started experimenting with videoing birds, but it's a bit tricky with just a monopod and can see the advantage of a tripod thanks to your excellent video's!
Yes to the tripod.
Ashley, thanks for explaining in a clear manner your video settings. It has now given me a starting point to try using the video on my R7 .
Very helpful video setting suggestions thank you
Great informative video Ashley and yes am interested in the tripod 👍 keep up the good work!!
Yes tripod great video Brill info on your video settings will give ago 👍🏻
Nice video i just found you channal, love those owls and deers, great work, Yes tripod.
Another fantastic one from you Ash! Great tips and starting points on using video, which I have not done much of yet but that's about to change. Loved that moment of pure magic at the end..... Count me in on the TRIPOD too if that's ok.
great vid as usual and yes tripod
Yes Tripod! - I'd definitely get a lot of use out of it, as I've been in need of a new one for some time now😂 another great video Ashley, looking forward to the next one!
Fantastic footage and great content for me as I've just started shooting video along side stills. Another highly entertaining video. Tripod would be very useful - yes tripod
Another fantastic video Ashley, I will get to bempton at some point. Would love the chance to win the tri-pod
Wow, stunning video and images, Bempton always seems to deliver .. I don’t currently own a tripod so it’s a yes please and fingers crossed atb Ian
Thanks for this video Ashley. I haven’t really tried to get into video up to now but your video has inspired me to give it a go, especially now that you have given me some insight into the settings that are required. I already own two tripods and a monopod so I don’t need your offer but thought that I must thank you for the video.
Hi many thanks for the comment and glad that you got something out of the video, and that it has inspired you to go out and perhaps do some video work of the wildlife, I think once you get into it and understand how to edit it, then it starts to become fun.
Brilliant video as always, just getting into videography myself it's a lot harder than It looks, great tutorial.
Would love a new tripod so yes please😁👌
Absolutely wonderful video .. very well done .. I'm a professional photographer who has decided (in my old age) to start doing just a little bit of wildlife video. I already had my R7 setup for some HD video when I saw this clip on setting up the R5 (which I also own) for video. Wow - excellent .. especially for someone like me who is a novice when it comes to video setup & capture. Thank you again for a clear & concise video on how it's done. I will surely be watching all of your future videos.
Hi Ronald many thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video, and was able to help with setting up your R5 for recording more videos in the future,.👍
Great video as always, even though I'm not an R5 user it's always interesting to see how other systems work for filming and how other CZcamsrs use the cameras! Yes, I'd be very interested in the tripod, looks like a great set-up 👍
Yes to the Tripod 😊 - I am a wedding photographer by day and I am just starting out with wildlife photography and love it. Your channel has been a godsend to me. I have just invested in a 180-600 lens for my Z8 and have been experimenting with video. This video has been so helpful to show how you achieve your excellent results. I may even incorporate video into my weddings as well now if I can get the practice. Keep them coming!
Absolute cracking video! You are a superb slow motion photographer, Ashley, and generous in your tutorial of how you capture the magic. Your selection of clips to illustrate the value of slow motion was perfect in my eyes (it had my heart racing). And then, the bonus at the end... that hover and dive... a birders once in a lifetime moment. (Regards the tripod, it would be a no, we really do have tripod overload in this family of photographers.) Thank you as always and take care.
You can not beat slow motion video, they give motion such grace and beauty. As for stills I am always chasing for that image that have a wow factor, that is out of the ordinary. Learnt a bit of video photography here thanks. Got great footage Ashley.
Hi Michael, many thanks for the comment, yeh love slow motion wildlife footage, and Yeh i will join you on that quest, for that one special unique shot.👍
I'm not a Canon user but I certainly enjoyed the footage and stills you got from yours! Well captured!
What a great video! I follow a lot of similar channels on CZcams, you are one of the few who produce really good content, thanks for that! I like the tripod, but I already have a good one. Give it to one of your viewers from the UK and keep up the good work. Thanks again from Germany.
many thanks for your comments glad you enjoyed this one, hopefully my next outing will be a wildlife walk weather permitting. 👍
Hi Ashley,Bempton cliffs looks like an amazing place to visit. We get Short eared owls in Cornwall in similar terrain which I have photographed but never videotaped. Yes I’m interested in the Tripod. Thanks Steve.
Yes tripod
Yes, tripod.
Hi, great vid. Have you tried the gimbal round the other way, so your left hand does the knob... means your right hand finger doesn't need to leave the shutter button... hope that's helpful.
Hi Clive, oooh never thought of that, I will give it a try and see how it goes, many thanks 👍
Great video Ashley, must get out there before the SEOs leave. Quick question - your jacket, hat and gloves - look really nice - where did you get them from.
HI, thanks for the comment My jacket is the Seeland Hawker Shell II Jacket www.ardmoor.co.uk/collections/seeland/products/seeland-hawker-shell-ii-jacket-1002191,, my hat is the DEERHUNTER RECON KNITTED BEANIE- www.newforestclothing.co.uk/collections/hats/products/deerhunter-recon-knitted-beanie and glover are the deerhunter www.ardmoor.co.uk/collections/mens-gloves/products/deerhunter-excape-gloves-with-silicon-grip-8642 I tend to buy most of my clothing from these two shops, and like the Seeland and deerhunter clothing good quality at fair prices.
Some useful tips, which I will adopt.
Wait till you get a camera that uses a Waveform rather than the aging Histogram method of getting good exposure. Once you use a Waveform, you'll never go back.😀
Have you ever used a Field Monitor while filming?
I bought one a few years ago, and its probably the best bit of kit I ever bought, after a sexy pin-sharp lens.
It also records to a SSD.
Hi Frank, yes I have just bought the new Atamos Ninja www.wexphotovideo.com/atomos-ninja-3119922/, which i used to record the camera settings for this video, for just going out videoing wildlife I will use it on some occasions, it just makes the whole set up a little bulky and heavy, but looking forward to using it in the comeing year.
@@WildlifePhotographerUK That’s the one I have and it’s one of the best out there. Like you say, it can be bulky so I don’t use it all the time but when I do, it’s a pleasure to use.
May I ask if you went for the original Ninja V or the V+. The original version only records 4k while the newer V+ records 8k to a max of 30fps.
Also Atomos and Davinci are not playing nicely with each other so you won’t be able to film in ProRes RAW. For me it’s not really a hardship because there is virtually no difference in image quality between ProRes RAW and ProRes. The only benefit of RAW is choosing the WB when editing.
You will love using the Waveform.
@@frankinblackpool I Thought that the V and V+ are the older models the Ninja Ultra and Ninja are the newer models. I saw that V+ did 8K but the files are huge, and 4k is more than enough these days, managed to get the free travel gift bag and batteries with mine once it arrives. lol
G’day from down under Ashley, I own an R5 but only the 100-400 mk2 ef lens. I have thus far not delved into video,although, I would like to. I am curious as to how much memory these chew up and what size and how many memory cards you carry with you. Yes to the tripod as well. Cheers, Merv
Hi @mervroberts5134, wish I was down under its freezing here ❄ lol, as for memory, I have a 1TB Exascend card exascend.com/product-category/card-storage/essential-cfe/ and I have never filled it yet when out doing my video's, as a back up I have another 256GB card which I only filled once with over 5000 photos when photographing red kites in wales.
Tripod... I think so! haha
Yes, tripod. You got some great shots of the short-eared owls. How long did you spend in total at Bempton cliffs?
Hi Sam thanks for your comment, I was only at Bempton Cliffs for a couple of days on this video, I was booked to photograph a wedding on the Monday, so it turned out to be a paid trip and whilst I was there I decided to hang on for a couple of days to see if I could get more photos and video of the SEO.
Yes Tripod. I really need to work on my video editing as much as filming. What software do you use for that?
Hi Phil, I use Davince resolve, the best video editor for your money, buy it once, life time updates. its just a learning curve , but like most things you have to hang in there and eventfully it will all fall into place.
Another great blog
Can you do a video on how to transfer your photos on to a solid state memory without the use of a computer
Would love a chance of winning the tripod 😊
You would need a file system device to transfer the files off the card to an ssd or any other drive, even a laptop/ phone or tablet would do the job.
As a Canon R5 user, I really found this episode helpful. I’ve yet to set up my camera for video, and I’ll try your settings for sure.
I’ve noticed on CZcams that quite a few of you use the same music, and as I’d like to add that too, could you tell which one it is please.
I was at Bempton Cliffs a few weeks ago, and had a fantastic day photographing the short eared owls. 🙂
Hi Chris, thanks for the comment, the music library i use is Artlist music pro, i do now try to use music not featured in other videos, if i can help it. Hey its great for short eared owls at the moment, hope you got some great shots. 👍😀
@@WildlifePhotographerUK Thanks very much for getting back so soon. As I write this, I’m out in the fens just as the light is coming up, and hoping to photograph some short eared owls here in the Burwell , and Wicken fen. We have around 8 staying here over winter this year.
Many thanks again.🙂👍
@chrisfowler5079 Have a great day hope you get some great photos, raining here up north but hope to het out tomorrow. 👍
Yes tripod please
That is some great owl video! Are you using the r5 for this video? 4kHQ or 8k?
HI yes using the R5 4K Fine
Do you use NTSC or PAL, as i can only get 100 fps using PAL as i live in the UK. Would changing to NTSC where i can get 120fps make any difference?
Hi BeeHappyproducts, you can switch to NTSC its fine for use here in the UK as you will be editing it in a video editor and then creating an mp4 or quick time file, so it can be played on any computer or on youtube. the only diffeance is that Pal is slightly better quality, but the average person would never know.
Thank you @@WildlifePhotographerUK
Hello, is it also possible to extract 1 picture from a 100fps setting and have a sharp picture. I think the T-setting cannot be 1/50s but perhaps 1/2000s. Is this setting possile
you can take an image from any part of any video, regardless of speed, I use DaVinci Resolve and can save an image from the video perfectly sharp, as long as I have the raw video footage.
Sounds ok but do you adjust the shuttertime to be faster?
1/50 of a second (with stills) is allways a motion unsharpnes
Wonderful and informative video as usual Ashley, I'd be interested in your image post processing if you can find time to create some videos please. BTW Yes! Please enter my name to the tripod givaway plz :)
I would argue that shooting at f22 in this scene, giving us a nice view of what’s behind you there is much, much better than shooting at f2.8 and blurring the hell out of the background! I also would have thought that diffraction at f22 would ruin the shot, but your results seem to disprove that. So why would I want to do what you are saying to do when what you did, which is way different than what you are saying, is so good already? This is very confusing yo me. :)
I would like to shoot this at around f9/f11, not f22 I would not shoot this scene at f/2.8 due to the lovely scene behind me, I think at f22 the quality just degrades a bit, which is why I suggest it is best to have filters so you can then choose your apature rather than having it dictated to you by the light and scene, that's all 👍
Yes, tripod.
