I shoot with a Nikon 70-200 and 200-500 on a D7200. I also use at times the 2x teleconverter. The subject range from landscape/cityscape to wildlife, automotive/motorcycle races and my worst section of photography the moon or Venus or anything astrophotography where I want, say the moon, filling the frame.

You’ve got YT figured Simon. Short intro explains the plan, tease a “bonus,” invite us to subscribe in a way that’s not pushy but reminds us to do it upfront, samples of your work that show you know what you’re talking about, even music that sets the tone. Of course, your content beyond that continues in its refined quality. I’ve got ideas about what you might do differently, but honestly, what the hell do I know? You seem to have YT on lock.

@@simon_dentremont I’m curious what your retention is once you cut away to photos and music. If it stays constant, don’t change anything. If you see a drop, I might recommend showing photos during the intro (which you already do sometimes), then maybe include music underscoring your intro. You could still cut away at the musical climax, but then it would be a lot shorter. Of course, if you’re not losing viewers at that moment, don’t change anything. I feel like the “title screen” is a hold over from legacy KZfaq, but it seems to have lost favor over the last few years. Just a thought. Seriously though, really excellent stuff. I’m not even a nature photographer, just learning how to shoot photos properly for the first time. Some for my job (do some social media marketing etc) and some for family photos. I’d also like to learn how to do astrophotography. I have a telescope and will probably eventually get a mount for my Sony. Anyway, learned more from you than all the “hotshots” out there. They’re more focused on shooting a “cool” video than informing their audience. It’s a fine strategy, but not for me. I want to learn stuff! Plus, your photos are a cut above. Thank you!

Hi Simon, Great video! A tip I learned from my late Dad who was an amateur photographer and shot only low ASA slide film. When stationed as an Army doctor in France in the mid-50´s, he liked to shoot stained glass shots, but was considerate enough to not bring a tripod into churches and chapels. I saw him take pictures upside down, with the camera braced on his forehead and asked about it. He said that instead of risking a camera pivoting on his nose, he held it tightly against his forehead, upside down. The forehead, besides being flat, has less softness than the nose and one can concentrate on holding your head steady, like with a dentist's x-ray. Also, using the riflery trick of keeping tension on a strap, is good advice for free-handing. Another tip from Army vet is to relax and breathe easy. He got sharp waterfall pictures at 1/15 sec. Being stunned, I asked what he did in the Army and he said he was a 'marksman'. So there's that, too.

I’ll add one more tip that I learned this morning, shooting surfers on Kauai. Unless you have a $$$$$$$$ premium filter take it off the front of the lens. I was shooting my R6 with a 2X tele on the awesome RF 100-500 and just couldn’t get sharp shots. So….I took off my CPL, and beheld the amazing shots with water dripping just as I expected! Not saying that filters are bad as it was a Luzid filter which did give me awesome landscape shots of the Waimea canyon and waterfalls. Just seems that long lens likely exacerbate cheap glass!

I hear you on removing filters. This has been a controversy for some time but I’ve just decided to bite the bullet and get better UV filters to protect that front element and I’m glad I did. I was just getting into a hotel in Switzerland with my wife and pulled out my Canon 70-200L F2.8 and took off the lens cap and saw a huge crack. My wife saw that I was concerned, and then saw me unscrew the filter (luckily I just happen to have another one with me) and toss it in the trash and mutter “there goes $80”…. She said you just threw away $80??? I told her that was better than throwing away $2k+ for a new lens. 😂

Back when I was in school, I belonged to the local city police gun club, shooting 22 targets once a week, and also took a hunter safety course at our local Fish and Game Assoc. At both places, we were given shooting tips and one of the tips was to take a breath, release part way, hold it, then squeeze the trigger. The instructor also told us to use the same technique with our cameras. I am 70 now, and have been using this technique ever since. I have been doing it for so long, I don't even think about it anymore. It is just a habit, like your other techniques for sharpness. Thanks Simon. I enjoy your videos.

slight mathematical corrections needed with the 1/focal length statements: -> 1/focal length should be your maximum shutter speed, not your minimum (2:57) as 1/1000 is less than 1/500. -> you have to divide that number by the crop factor, not multiply it (3:29). 1/500 divided by 2 is 1/1000.

Lean on something stationary, hold your breath, and gently squeeze the shutter release. It can also help to use a remote release, either wired or wireless, when you're on a tripod. Both work well. I use an IR remote exclusively, when I'm shooting astrophotography through a telescope. At those focal lengths, you get a bunch of shake just from your finger contacting the shutter release or, if your mount isn't weighted down enough, even from the slightest breeze.

When doing walk-up or walk-around photography, I find Mode 2 is a good compromise. Encounter photography perhaps sounds more impressive lol You never know what your going to encounter when your walking around or stalking birds so it's best to have all your bases covered best as possible.

Another gem of a tutorial, Simon. You have a concise way teaching your wealth of knowledge to others! I shoot with a monopod a lot of times, your stabilization against the knee was a great tip that I will be trying out.

My Canon 100-400mm ll is by far my favorite lens. And paired with the Canon R7 it's an awesome combination for wildlife photography.

didnt hear you mention it, but the guy that taught me marksmanship was adamant that you exhale before pulling the trigger. The point of this is that if you are breathing in and out, the inflation and deflation of your lungs will affect your sighting. If you hold your breath in, the beat of your heart is transmitted through your hands and body to the rifle or in this case camera. So his advice is that it's better to exhale and hold the exhale. He may not be entirely right about the reasons, but he was an acclaimed marksman who built his own trigger groups and was seminal in several fields. So I follow his advice.

I think it’s less critical than in shooting rifles and archery, having done both, but for super slow shutter speeds, yes.

Simon, just had the best session of birding to date, watched the bird tips and this and hey presto, the birds must have known i was on a mission, they turned up in droves to be shot sharply, i am sure i have lots to learn and build in to my outings with my camera but the improvements evident today are inspiring, many thanks from Yorkshire.

There really is some great tips in this video. I particularly liked the monopod techniques and the cereal packet taped to the door to actually test your lens' best aperture. Great work Simon
