Steve...As a person who is not a frontline emergency physician and also not a professional photographer I want to thank you for your fantastic photography series. Coming home from after driving by or maybe near or even in the same town as the ER, sitting down on my computer and listen to your informative talks on photography is a breath of fresh air. I wish you and your family a safe, healthy and enjoyable holiday season. 👍👍

Steve, your idea of using a high shutter speed has completely changed the way I take birds pics. They are much sharper than they used to be earlier. Thank you so much for this great tip.

Good video. I once had a Dotterel only 15 feet in front of me on a cold morning with strong sunlight. I lowered my gear to the ground and shot away. Back home on the screen the shots were all soft. I worked out why in the end - it was air turbulence near the ground. Lesson learned!

Some great tips! I usually try to keep the car fairly cool when shooting in winter (80% of my shooting here in Canada) but that's to keep the lens/sensor/mirror(previous to mirrorless) from fogging if I leave the car and return. Never thought about heat shimmer, but makes perfect sense.

Thank you for iterating using image stabilization with tele-zooms while mounted on a tripod, I shoot with a Nikon D7200/Tamron 150-600mm mounted on a tripod with a ball head and get good results with shutter speeds lower than 1/350th. However, I mostly shoot perched birds with it.

This is why Steve's channel is the best. He gets right to the point and couples his explanation with USEFUL examples. Unlike so many of the more popular photography KZfaq channels, Steve doesn't need bimbos, personality hacks, cheap humour and other eye-candy to keep the viewers' attention. Sweet, short classy instruction is the way to go.

Great video. I visited South America a few years ago and took a bridge camera with me for convenience, I knew I was making a mistake but did anyway. I'm going to Central America this year so plan on taking my Nikon D750 with the 80-400 lens so will definitely practise and use these great tips before I go, thank you.
