It amazes me to see them ringed, how small must those tags be, it's almost like jewellery making. Beautiful birds Steve thanks for showing them 👍

Good video Steve, really pleased you didnt use a paid hide where they 'tank' captive fish. One tip for anyone trying Kingfisher photography for the first time is that if it is perched on a 'thin' branch/perch, if it dives and catches a fish it will not return to that perch to eat it, it will go to a more sturdy perch so it can 'bash' the fish against it to kill it before swallowing it.

Excellent video and good information. My question is about settings for the video of the birds. Do you use ND filters and stick to the 180° rule? Do you shoot in log? Thanks. I look forward to viewing more of your content.

@SteveHedgesPhotography 10 ай бұрын

Hi Steve, thanks very much. Really pleased you enjoyed it. I will use ND filters if I need them but when I'm shooting a piece to camera I'll often just close the aperture down to reduce the amount of light hitting the camera sensor. Obviously this increases the depth of field but I don't worry about that too much. Regarding the 180° rule I don't conscientiously use it but I do make sure I have continuity between clips. So probably follow it naturally. Last but not least at the moment I don't shoot in log. I do keep an eye on the contrast of the location though. Thanks for watching, all the best, Steve.

40 kilograms Steve? lol! it’d need more than sticklebacks to fulfil its dietary requirement 😂 nice filming

@SteveHedgesPhotography Жыл бұрын

Hi Terry, yeah slight over statement I think. 40 grams might be slightly more accurate. Thanks for watching, all the best Steve.

Another good video Steve with some cracking shots and advice. You mentioned a pop-up hide mate - which one do you use?

@SteveHedgesPhotography Жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it. I've got hides. The bigger of the two is a 2 person Simon King hide and the other one I'll need to check but it's a one person hide with a cup holder I might add. No heating though. Cheers Steve.
