Thanks very much Keith, yes getting low is key.

Yes I've been looking at Vero and may give it a go soon. Cheers Steve.

Thanks very much Lesley, also thanks for watching I really appreciate everyone's support. Cheers, Steve.

I look forward to your posts Steve, thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm 👍

Thanks very much, glad you found it useful. I think it's a case of building up experience over time. All the best, Steve.

Cheers Mark, I've been a photographer for so long it's good to think back on how we all get started.

Thanks Steve, yes fieldcraft is really important and yes totally agree the animals welfare has to come first. Keep well, cheers, Steve.

Hi Nick, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I run small group wildlife photography courses and would cover camera settings on those lessons. I also offer one-to-one lessons. I would certainly be able to help you with the settings on the Canon 1dmrk 3. If you're interested take a look at my website www.stevehedgesphotography.co.uk, you can contact me from there either by email or phone. Cheers, Steve.

Hi Villiam I often go to silent shutter release but in this case the wildlife isn't bothered by shutter noise. Electronic shutters can also cause distortion when panning with some cameras so it's worth taking that into account. All the best, Steve.

@@SteveHedgesPhotography yeah, I shoot silent 😊 tried something new today, 25 fps silent shutter on bif. Seems nice, if you manage to get focus on the birds 😅 sadly I didn't 😬 I can go 50 fps with locked c-af and 125 fps with c-af. But sadly I didn't get the focus today 😬 need more practice 💪

Hi Villiam, sounds interesting. I think all of us always need more practice. Good luck with your birds in flight. All the best, Steve.

If that was true then people would never be able to get shots using older DSLRs

Hi Paul, I normally use manual exposure and auto ISO. I set my shutter speed of either 1/1000 or 1/2000th sec then close the aperture down by 2/3rd of a stop which will give me a slightly sharper image. Then auto ISO will then adjust depending on the amount of light. Hope this helps, all the best, Steve.

@@SteveHedgesPhotography Thanks Steve.

Hi Aniruddha, you can certainly start with the D7500. It's a great camera with all the controls you need for wildlife photography. You will probably find that your kit lens doesn't give you a long enough focal length for wildlife photography though. Obviously this will depend on how close you can get to the animal you're photographing and how big it is. I normally use either a 200-500mm zoom or a 600mm lens. Hope this helps. All the best, Steve.

@@SteveHedgesPhotography I was just only wondering about the reach of 140mm . Thanks for your response 🙂.
