Did you use a lens filter?

@PacWestPhoto Ай бұрын

I did yes - I use a variable ND filter / Polarizer on this lens

I have the NEEWER 2 in 1 67mm Variable ND Filter ND2 - what I do to set it each time is point the camera at something with a reflection and adjust the sliders until I am happy with the look.

@dre_707 Ай бұрын

@@PacWestPhotoI have a neewer flash ND tripod so I'm familiar with their brand. I was thinking the k&f concepts variable ND filter but yours is the ND filter and polarizing filter correct?

@PacWestPhoto Ай бұрын

correct the one that I have is both in one - I dont think youd be disappointed, once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature to adjust on the fly anyways.

This is the first time watching your video and I have not watched the entire episode as I make this comment, I photograph many of the same birds at times from my 14 ft touring kayak, other times along local streams, lakes and other bodies of water in and around wildlife refuges. I live in The Hudson river valley of NEW YORK STATE and travel as far south as the eastern shores of Virginia to photograph wildlife. My comment as I said is based on being a first time viewer, I watched as you unpacked your camera equipment and made your way to the area where you started photographing and videotaping and the thing that first stuck me was the lack of an introduction to your video, no idea of who you are or where you were, just to let you know that I am a retired NYS Corrections officer, I retired after 41 years and every incident I had to document STARTED with, who,what,where when and how or why if you knew, when I got involved in event photography after many years of digital photography, I used the same approach to document and tell the story of the event, making a video makes it easier to include a verbal introduction and it brings your audience along with you on your photograph journey. Watching you in bird heaven makes me a little jealous, herons and egrets are pretty much standard types of birds along with ducks but eagles are not easy to find and it is only certain times of the year that I find them. When the eagle came in the scene I noticed the white head and tail feathers were slightly washed out, I had problem photographing herons and eagles in bright light and I found a article in Outdoor Photographer that spoke of using negative exposure compensation to retain the details of the feathers of white birds, so any time I shoot birds in daylight I adjust my exposure to get a slightly faster shutter speed and that helps me retain the details of the feathers. Enjoyed your video.

Nice! I have the same setup and loving it, although I wouldn't mind an A1 just for more cropping. It's interesting to see the heron up in the trees, here in SoCal I only see them by the rivers and wetlands. Good job brother!

hi, what is your shutter speed at 600mm ?

@PacWestPhoto Ай бұрын

I usually start with 1200 on the low end. thats usually the sweet spot for this lens. if my subject is really still i may try at 500

@JCCamp Ай бұрын

You’re answering shutter speed questions in millimeters? Okay.

Hi, I am wondering how this compares to the Tamron 150-500mm as far as stabilization? Also, Does your body have bird eye focus setting? I have the a7siii, but I am wondering if the 17siii or a6700 (with birds eye) would be better... Any opinions, appreciate it!

@PacWestPhoto 3 ай бұрын

Hey good questions! I have used both lenses and can say that I di enjoy the internal zoom factor of the Sony - stays balanced, less moving parts and pieces and the waterproofing aspect made the purchase worth it for me.

@PacWestPhoto 3 ай бұрын

as for the body, I have the a7iv - and I have zero complaints! such a well rounded camera! bird eye tracking, animal tracking and the video af capabilities are also fantastic. being able to switch between super aps-c and full frame is fun if youre into that - the a6700 does come with focus bracketing features that are only found in the a7RV so if you might be wanting that feature you might want to have a look

@AltLiving 3 ай бұрын

Thanks soooo much. Looking for one to travel with, so maybe Tamron is a better size - maybe even the tamron 400mm. Hopefully the upcoming a7siii update comes with an update for Bird's eye autofocus. @@PacWestPhoto

Yes, am considering the 50-400mm and the 150-500mm Tamron. I was keen on the former, but someone reviewed saying they 150-500mm is much better with autofocus... Hard to tell without actually trying.@@PacWestPhoto

Ditch the tripod and get a strap. I recommend the Black Rapid Curve Breathe Classic Strap. If you do keep using tripod try turning off IBIS. When the camera is fixed and not moving the IBIS can actual cause motion blur.
