Great reminder! And loved the before and after And thank you! .

Before/after images were very helpful!

Excellent! Most of the wildlife I take photos of are quite shy, so I typically take at least 20 photos before trying to move to improve...that way I minimize dissapointment when the bird flushes or animal runs away.

Outstanding. I have several tripods and monopods. I rarely use them anymore. I was recently in Rwanda photographing Golden Monkeys and Gorillas. I didn't take a tripod or monopod on the trip. Would never have used them. Constantly moving.

Excellent tutorial. Amen to ditching the tripod.

Thanks so much Scott for this video!! I’ve learned so much from you and I even purchased the Robus monopod after watching your monopod video and I attached a Wimberley MonopodGimbal head to it that Steve Perry suggested. I love the colors of the magic light and it seems like such a fun challenge to photograph it with the birds. Again thank you for your invaluable teachings!

Fantastic advice! Thanks for taking me along!

nice pic. yes you can. Sometimes rules are just the walls that need to be overcome

Thanks for sharing. Refreshing. Really enjoyed this one. 😊

Small details to get great results. Thanks Scott! In my case, monopod it´s my go to 80% of the times. When the movement of the subject it´s slower or predictable, then i use the tripod.

Can confirm Belted Kingfishers never land within 75 yards of a camera lol

Thank you Scott. I enjoyed this video, and I agree, changing perspective can make such a difference. I'm going to keep trying to get into one of your challenges.

Excellent content that photographers in general need more of. I especially enjoy the inclusion of the insect image comparison near the end of the video. With herp photography, perspective changes are more similar to macro work than they are to bird work. When a snake or a toad is staying put, it provides an endless array of compositional possibilities!

This is one of your best episodes, Scott !! ..Handholding unless there is something specific.

I love this tip and have been trying to do more of this in my wildlife photography lately. The ABC (Always Be Composing) is an excellent reminder. I've been trying change my angles a lot more and enjoy the challenge of getting nicer photos. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Scott!!!!!

Great video Scott! Lots of valuable tips here! And fantastic images used to illustrate your points. I’ve applied your advice to my photography practices and have enjoyed my growth as a photographer. Cheers my friend

Great video! A huge inspiration for me! Thank you.

Great content

Leave the Tripod; but run around with a monopod. I can still run around with a heavy prime & let the monopod support the weight.

Great info as always… Thank you!

Great photos I hope to have clear skies soon again to regain my sharpness it's been so dark and cloudy the last few weeks. Can you do a video on setting up a camera for cloudy or dark days like F stop and shutter speeds?

Just a note to let you know I've unsubscribed to avoid being hassled into paid membership. Not a good ethos IMHO.
