Very good, thanks for the video. All I need is some bright overcast skies.

This guy is right....background is a huge deal.

Kevin great topic to discuss lenses, sometimes overshadowed by the latest camera bodies and their improvements. I could talk for hours on the subject of good glass 🥂

Very good. Like the idea of putting the bird calls with the pictures.

It appears that you need a dead cat for your microphone. Otherwise a great video!!!

Had a lot of luck this summer. Set up 3 different perches in my butterfly/hummingbird garden. They have been visiting recently (located in Rhode Island in NE US). In studying them, they seem to stay on the same perch and on occasion will fly off and quickly return to the same spot. To get them in flight I just increase the aperture, widen the zoom and wait for the return. I know it's not the same as getting inflight but when looking at it, no one would know if I crop out the perch. BTW my mom was from Edinburgh and came over with my dad after WWII. Last name was Heatlie. In doing family tree it looks like some of my relatives spelled the name Hatley. From 1670 to 1860 family lived in Lilliesleaf, Roxburghshire, then Edinburgh. Great videos!

I enjoyed your post. I had thought about trying to capture and tried many times. I love to capture birds in flight. After watching your video I tried in my back yard and got a couple of decent ones but I need more practice. I used the settings that you suggested. I have a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 28-300mm lens. Shutter speed 1/3200, Aperture f/8.0 and auto ISO. Thank you very much, now all I have to do is practice.

Finally someone who talks sense. The only thing you forgot to mention are the aching shoulder muscles after a successful hunt 😂

Dragonflies and hummingbirds, favorite subjects. And Sphinx moths.

A great step by step explanation, Kevin. One change I would suggest for the placement of feet, is that I feel it is best when the expected flight path is known, to position the stance more to where the bird is going to travel to rather than to where it starts from. Thus, when reaching the firing position, my body is set much more comfortably and more stable. I also use this type of stance when taking the series of frames for creating a panorama photograph.

Excellent!!!

Brilliant video Kevin, I looked at this video before I went to take some images. Sadly I had a bad day, 4000 images - 1/6400 sec. 30fps - auto ISO - F9. RAW. Can't believe I didn't get a single image pin sharp. Your videos help me a lot so need to do more research before my next go. Cheers

This is the best video about photographing dragonfly

This is so helpful, thank you! Great info and images!

Grear video, Kevin. Thanks.

You share some great ideas: window rest >in Australia we have what they ''pool noodles" ; pool/water personal float devices that would be just as effective; and cheap!! I have always thought (hunting/shooting days) that wild animals will see movement before anything anything else. But yes, never look up if hiding from an aircraft , so all your gear does make a lot of sense for serious wildlife photography. camera ready: I read a tip years ago (film days) to always have the longest lens on the camera when traveling by car. Camera presets/custom sets are a god send in digital cameras.

Thanks again; great tips . Frustration is the one word I understood 😢 They weren't the 5f I use ; F F F F F --- bugga it --- need a better camera ---- goin' home !!

5:06 your gear: not sure too many would consider gear like that as ''minimal''😇 Thank you, something way out of my comfort zone. I have trouble photographing (never shoot/shot ;) 😡) dead dragon flies so take this as a ground up grain of salt in a dust storm --- a few years back I had a blue plastic tarp opened out in the back yard and that attracted dragonflies from where I don't where. The Murray river (Australia) is 5-7 kms away. . I put a stick on the tarp and naturally they landed on the stick . Maybe having them come to you is better than them going where they normally go. Similar works by putting water in a suitable place for bush bird photos --- I don't have the patience :( Please; leave the music out. That is the main reason I turn off so many (likely good) UA-cam photography video. Not to mention motor mouth American .

Nice video, well done.

Valuable tips. Thank u

Hi from Canada. Thanks for this lesson, especially the camera settings. I always wanted to photograph a dragonfly in flight, now I think I can do it.

Great information. Thank you so much. Do you make use of back button focus or do you focus via the shutter button?

Awesome so lovely capture

Very nice, Kevin, wonderful information, also. I will be trying to use your information real soon on my local pond. And, I just hit the subscribe button, thanks again.

Lots of good information Kevin, thank you. I’ll put it into practice if we get any sun.

If you can manage dragonflies in flight then birds in flight will be a piece of cake🥮

Merci pour votre partage .

Very helpful video, thank you.

Thank you Kevin for an exciting and informative video. It is really inspirational thank you again.

Great video, cant wait to try this out, are all the photos taken on eye contact please?

This was very helpful thank you. After a few failed trips I now realise I was doing it all wrong. Can’t wait for my next attempt now.

Thank you, Kevin. Very practical tips.

Great work, thanks for sharing! 👍💜💜💜💜👍

Great video, very useful tips. 👍

Amazing tips. Brilliant!

What a really great video!!! Really easy to understand and concise! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

The fact you still use a DSLR proves you can take some amazing images without spending your life savings!

Love your photography Kevin and look forward to your videos!

Thank you for the great video. I never thought about editing photos like that. Also thank you for the PDF guide. 😊

Kevin, I've seen videos of other bloggers on this topic, but your video was shot very clearly. And it seems to me that someone who is interested in this may get interesting shots. Thank you for your hard work.

Kevin: Another excellent video! I shoot with different gear than you, however, I nonetheless find your videos very instructive because you impart detailed information and advice. Please continue doing exactly what you are doing. PJI

I like these sort of content. Very interesting.

Greetings from Chile!

Hi Kevin, this is the 1st video I've seen of yours and I have to say I'm blown away. Amazing images and footage. I'm about to upgrade to the R6mkii and the RF100-500mm and your advice has been extremely useful. I've really struggled on the R7 with the pulsing focus on the sigma 150-600mm so using the Canon rf lens is a no brainer. Looking forward to watching your past content and future adventures 👏👏

nice🤍

Good kid very useful

Great tips, thank you very much 👍🏼

Beautiful bird photography, Kevin! New subscriber here ✨

Really good tips there & your photographs are stunning. Thank you
