OMG Steve, I purchased your 531 page BIF Ebook and I'm only on page 168 so far and seriously... I'm struggling to put it down, or rather I never want it to end. It feels like you know me and have personally written it just for me. It's absolutely fantastic and for anyone thinking about "should I get it" stop thinking and just go on faith. I know this video is also excellent, but firstly there's so much more great content in the book and secondly, reading rather than watching and listening to someone else, just helps you retain information so much easier. Steve, I've got an R6 MKII and your info has got light bulb moments going off for me everywhere. I just had to pause reading and let you know how priceless your book is and tomorrow is going to be the best photography day for me since starting about 7 months ago and I'm seriously excited about putting what I've learnt from you into practice, so thanks millions 👍

Thanks for the kind words :) The BIF book is one of my favorites and I had a great time writing it.

You can take 54 minutes to watch this three times over and take it all in. Or you can watch an hour of other folks' videos on this subject and learn half as much. Your choice.

Seriously, this is by far the highest content-to-fluff ratio of any photo tips video this newbie has seen. Other ones are well-intending and the advice (when they get to it) is good, but Jesus get to the point before repeating yourselves 5 times!

Great video thanks. Just got my Nikon this year, so still learning. You answered the issues I've been having with focus. Also loved the 'if they look like they're about to take off stay looking in the view finder', missed lots of take offs as I looked away. Off to watch the rest of your videos.

Thanks for making a video without the fluff and quickfire useful tips. So many videos give you the life story and day to day drudgery of people's lives that no one cares about, interlaced with over long intros and corporate bg music because they think it looks pro, while taking about 3 minutes to get to anything at all useful.

Thank you for this video. It's answered a lot of questions I have about birds in flight. I'm just getting started, after retiring almost 2 years ago. I bought a brand new D7200 about a year and half ago to learn basics on before moving up. And your channel and several others have been extremely helpful! Keep up the great work! P.S. I have this bookmarked so I can find it quick for future reference, which I'll surely need.
