Another branch of our family had a tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve. This video was my Christmas Eve present. I tend to like low key photos and your examples were delightful. I also like high key photos and your examples were delightful. I too have a lot of blurry shots, but few of them were intentional, so you would rightfully disqualify them. Some people might spend years at a community college to earn a certificate, or they could watch this video, spend the money in Southern Africa, and become famous. When I was that young, I wish I was that wise. Merry Christmas, and thanks for your gift.

Great to have all of these tips in one video. I've watched allot of you're videos and talks and now it's in a nice bite size. 👍( Maybe a video that goes a little more in to detail of the postprocessing would be a big help, ) some photos that i thought I ruined but under / over exposing in the past i can now bring to life. Thanks again for sharing all of the inspiring images.

Very well done. I read somewhere that for panning you have to match the shutter speed with the speed of the moving subject ie if the subject is moving 20 miles an hour you can use a shutter speed of 1/20. Not sure how accurate the statement is though.

Unless you are very lucky, all high shutter speed animal and bird shots have been done before and probably not anything unusual. Using these techniques will (when we get it right) will result in unique images that will be attributed to the photographer's skills and style.

Hello Hugh. I must say it probably is my favorite motion blur so far as these birds are super fast and difficult to capture. I do sell images on request and you can view them on my social media accounts (facebook.com/sabine.pangolinphoto or instagram.com/sabine_stols). If you are interested email me at sabine@pangolinphoto.com and we can set a price ;) -Sabine

Wonderful tips in a jiffy but I also want to know the minimal equipment required for wildlife of the kind presented here!! The pushing and pulling through the Zoom range requires a lot of practice and I want to know if the technique is possible with screw zooms.

@PangolinWildlife 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your feedback and questions. The push and pull method works great on a 100-400mm zoom lens and both ring zoom and pull zooms work for it ;)

@DickHoskins 2 жыл бұрын

I suggest you warn photographers to be very careful to not permanently damage their eyesight when shooting into the sun. Using live view is best. Irreversible retinal damage can happen in fractions of a second. Maybe you could find an eye doc to help you make a video on eye safety for photographers. Your videos are very good. Thanks for these videos. I love Botswana, going again soon.

@PangolinWildlife 2 жыл бұрын

Of course! You just need to be careful when strongly overexposing (high key) as the ISO usually increases a lot. Keep the aperture then wide open and reduce the shutter speed as much as possible to keep the ISO and therefore image noise in check ;) Hope this makes sense! -Sabine
