Chelsea, love your puns and sense of humor...got me laughing! Hey, great job you two, got a couple of major questions answered. I appreciate your videos, Tony, I love how you cut to the chase and just tell it like it is, helps to hear honest answers. Keep up the good work! Moonpie

I loved the end scene so much. Thank you so much. You're great...

Wov..what a great pictures are you shooting.. ... . Your tutorials helps me a lot , thanks for sharing.

5:51 I didn't know that I can program each bbf button with different AF modes. Thanks for the tip. Great advice although I don't shoot a lot of wildlife but these principles will apply for flying aircraft too.

Your channel is my new all time favorite!!!!

Thank you for all of your videos. Very helpful. Do you guys ever do workshops?

The ending with the puns had me in fits of laughter. Great tips too, as always. Thank you!

Great tip on use of two buttons for back button focus - single AF and all AF. Thanks Tony!

Love watching you both your video tips are great and you have fun while doing them, thats the best part it has to be FUN or no reason to do it.

Not only was this very practical advice…I watched to the very end and enjoyed the humor too. Thanks guys!

I really loved this video. I always learn stuff from you guys. So thanks a lot. Also I loved the puns.

Great pointers as usual guys. I really like Tony's humility eg. when explaining using AutoISO.

Yes!!! Another great video!!!

Thanks guys, great information. Have a great holiday!

Now that is the ART of content creation folks ! Informative and entertaining ! thanks for a great video !!

Great video...thanks Tony and Chelsea. Fantastic footage and pointers on camera settings. And...Chelsea...love your puns...they made me smile. Chris

You are a fun couple to watch. I learn a lot from your videos!

That dual back-button focus tip is great, going to have to see if my D500 can do that.

Love you guys! Thanx for the tips.

thanks for the great tips! Where would you suggest to go to find owls?

I love your video. I always learn to you, Thank! Tony..,

Great shots!

Awesome tips as usual. Cheers from the East Coast of Canada!

Hahaha loved the end of the video :) you guys are the best and always make me smile along with learning. Thank you. :)

Fantastic tips, thank you! I hadn't thought of using auto ISO, but I will definitely try it in the future.

7:29 such a cute couple! Funny/smart/great adventures spirit. Love you guys!

Thanks for the info. I'm interested I'd how Sony compares to other DSLs.

I like how Tony is in camouflaged outdoor clothing while Chelsea's just wearing everyday clothing. 😉

Dang I didn't know about the back button focus where you can do both! Thanks that shouldn't definitely help with the Anna's Hummingbird I've been trying to get! Thanks Tony and Chelsea!

lmao. shooting wildlife was a few of the videos i watch and fell in love with you guys. haha. much love.

You recomended jpegs- Jareds going crazy in 3...2...1... Boom

Thank you guys so much, I just recently have gotten into bird photography because I picked up the Nikon 200-500 F5.6 I am using it on my D800. I was very upset at first because I was having focus issues not realizing that you basically can't capture wings that are moving they have to be gliding. Like always I truly appreciate your information.

Thanks for tips and advice

Great job guys

Amazing!! Can you do one on Aviation photography? Thanks!

Good tip on the dual buttons. Gonna have to give that a try.

Tony's looks of disgust at the end are punderful. You guys sure have a lot of fun helping the rest of us become better shooters!

I don't think you guys have done a single video that doesn't make me chuckle......awesosme ;)

Helpful video for a beginner like me! Now I’m able to figure out how to use my settings in varying light situations. I appreciate your videos because you’re not using so much jargon my head wants to explode. It’s awful to feel like a dork BEFORE even taking a single shot. For me, photography should be fun. Since watching your channel, the # of expletives I’ve uttered has decreased dramatically. They might even let me back into the park! 😉 Thanks!!

Great video. Random aside: The interview video is great! Taken with the D850?

Great video! How can I control the exposure compensation when I'm in manual and use auto ISO? I'm shooting with the 7d mark ii

I don't normally enjoy out-takes that people put on their videos but in this case I did think they were really funny :D thanks for sharing Oh, and the reminder to click the bell icon, I subscribed AGES ago but had not clicked the bell till NOW.

Awesome video. It looks like this morning both of you woke up on the wrong side. Tony looks look energy for some reason. I like how it ended; you two are adorable. I watch your videos for entertainment!

Loved the puns 😂😂

Congrats from Campinas, South East Brazil!

Thanks for the great info!

Excellent Video so very helpful, thanks you very much ... ( Steve , Cambs UK)

Loved the ending. A lot of fun.

Another fun and informative video. Would love to see a similar wildlife video comparing: using the Canon 100-400mm II with the 1.4x iii extender on a Canon 80D versus on a Canon 7D Mark II. At 896mm how do the above combinations compare on image quality, AF speed, sharpness, etc. At the default of f8, contrast using the 7D Mark II three AF points (spot, single, single with four extenders) with the 80D AF options of single, nine dual cross type, and 27 multiple cross type AF points. Also is there a difference in the number of connectors the 80D uses with the 1.4x III Extender versus the number used by the Canon 7D Mark II, and does this translate into better AF performance and image quality? I know the Canon 7D Mark II is the better camera for lots of good reasons like dual card slots, 10 frames a second, larger buffer, etc, etc but which combination is the better value to shoot at 896mm when for the price of a Canon 7D Mark II you can buy both the Canon 80D and the Canon 1.4x III Extender?

Favorite!!! Chelsea was great in this!!!

hey guys, i really like your videos and bought a xt-2 based on your recommendations. i am enjoying the camera so far although bit tough going out in the snow (Canada) to shoot landscape lol. i just have a question regarding aperture. is there a crop factor like how it is with the lens? for example i am using the 16-55 which is equal to 24-82 on full frame. Should i also multiply 1.5x 2.8 (aperture). so if i want to shoot at aperture 11 i should set the aperture on my camera to 7.1 or 8? let me know what you think because i was doing some testing and the shots i got at aperture 7-8 are a lot more sharper then 11 or 16. thanks for your help!

Thank youuuu sooo much guys you are awesome, awesome tutorial

I will try 3-D tracking on my next outing for ospreys. Thanks!

Hi Tony and Chelsea, great video as always, Tony I know how to use the sony for the back AF single and All, but I do not know how to do it with the canon 1dx, could you let us know? I will get your book if the answer is there

I've gone back to mid-shutter focus, after years of back-focus for fast action. I just find it more natural shooting and one less thing to remember, when shooting nature shots or high speed racing. I do like the concept of having 2 back buttons for switching. That might drag me back to it.

Chelsea, I LOVE your puns-never stop!!!!!! :)

You both are so talented it's almost not fair. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with the YT community. I have learned tons of awesome information from this channel.

Quick question...where did you shoot this video? Looks an amazing location...somewhere in NJ?

The last few minutes were priceless! :-)

What lens is Chelsea using in this video also I’m looking at a DSLR aps-c/crop factor second hand which is best I’ve been looking at Nikon d500 and the canon 7D mark Ii also the tamron 150-600mm what’s your opinions on these products?

Loved it!!!

Nice video! Hmm, the new panasonic g9 and 200mm 2.8 looks a bit more attractive to carry around than the anti-aircraft guns you have... :) Will you get a chance to shoot some birds with that combo you think? Would love to see a review of panasonic's new gear for bird shooting.

Bonito video. I love this video.

It’s a Great idea Tony to setup 2 different focus types using 2 different back buttons. If you don’t mind, could you please share how to setup one back button for Single AF and the other back button for All AF? For Nikon D500 Please.

The punny ending made me smile. Loved it.

OMG those puns at the end - my face hurts!

Hi, I've always found your videos useful for me... I want to ask are there any true lenses for crop sensor cameras? If not why they don't make them? Like, how can I get a perfect 24mm lens for my crop sensor body?

I use both Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority when imaging birds depending on whether or not I anticipate getting them them on the wing. Sometimes DOF is the overriding concern. I've experimented with shooting Manual with Auto ISO, but how do you deal with tricky lighting situations without Exposure Comp while in Manual/Auto ISO?

Excellent tuition.....thnx

I laughed soooooo hard at the end. Love you guys. !

Hi guys. Lens you guys are using. Looks pretty cool. Please, let me know. ASAP

From the very beginning of this video I was thinking Tony was having a rough morning. lol Thanks for the tips, you guys are awesome

lens size is impressive!) MFT 4/3 can't replace a full frame?

Enjoyed the video...........had a little trouble concentrating while waiting for Tony to fall off backwards into the lake.

'son of a birch' 😂😂😂😂

Hey Tony ? lol I just subscribed the other day, great video's guy's !

Those are some serious lenses! Im new here so that's all I have to say so far. Proud owner of probably the last new D500 that ever sold.

You guys try the RX10 IV? Pretty decent on bright sunny days. Eitherwise FF or d500 is the way to go.

Very nice

i have noticed that the nikon sport mode is a fantastic preset.. i know its a preset and not manual but can you change your settings in the blink of an eye to get the unexpected.. i shoot jpeg on wildlife and manual.. but sometimes this sport preset on my D7200 is much quicker.. only thing it does is it looses a little saturation. but we all edit anyway so its not a problem

I have a Canon EOS T7 with a 70-300mm lens. Will the setting you mentioned apply?

really nice video, guys

I DIED at “do these puns make you think I’m a birch” I love ittttt !!

I have never been able to settle-in to using a big lens (600mm) for moving birds. I have taken to getting closer and using a 300mm and have got much better results. The big lenses are so cumbersome and much less maneuverable. I love the big lens for shooting still or near still subjects at long range but for fast moving subjects I find a smaller lens is easier to handle which usually results to more 'keepers'.

Thank you!!

Great instructions

7D II lets you use dual back button focus options. I have one on single AF point, and other on multi AF points with seperate AF tracking algorithms and whatnot.

Do you ever use a drop in Circular Polarizing Filter for the Canon lens? I just bought a mint used Canon 400mm F2.8 IS

I've been trying to get the answer to this for weeks and asking everywhere but have not gotten an answer. I use the d500 with back button focus and I'm struggling heavily with BIF on af-c in any of the tracking modes. When I see a bird do I hold the af-on button (bbf) button the entire time its on the subject while pressing the shutter button, or do I press it and hold the af-on button until the bird is in focus then press the shutter button to take photos? When I hold the bbf button and press the shutter while tracking the bird it always misses focus and none of my shots are ever in focus.

What camouflage kit you are wearing ? Any recommendation?

Can the Canon 80d give you 2 separate back focus buttons -- I know it gives one but not sure it can give u 2 different functioning buttons??

I had no idea you could register a focus point seperately to normal BBF. I've just set up my 5dm3 and registered all AF points to my AE lock button so I can use single point on AF-ON and all on AE lock. This will make it so much easier for wildlife for me - thanks!

What lenses do you use with the GH5 for doing your videos?

That was very interesting. I’ll look up back button focus. That the first I’ve heard of it.

Super video super books, thank you

Really curious to see how a crop crop sensor will do with wildlife. The Panasonic G9 with the PanaLeica 200 2.8 seems to be geared for this. I beLEAF it could a nice job.

OMG the ending was hilarious 😂

thank you T&C

If you were using smaller lighter lenses thereby increasing the need for closer shots would more camo and a quieter or silent shutter improve the odds of success?
