Thank you I really appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video!

@@CurtisSnapshot No prob mate 🤝

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you for commenting!

I’m glad you enjoyed!

That’s an awesome first wildlife outing, and a heck of a way to kick things off haha! Super exciting. Really glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have even more successful outings this year!

Thank you!

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed!

Coming from the A6000 and A7II, I find the AF tracking on the A7IV to be great. I’m sure newer and more expensive models are even better, but this camera really blew me away when I started using it.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I got all my "bee" sounds from Epidemic Sound, then trimmed them down to the specific buzzes I liked. I faded the audio in and out where it made sense, such as when the bee buzzed into the log, and I think I even added a bit of a muffle effect when it went inside! In general, my wildlife clips tend to sound pretty bland, so I always try to find nature soundscapes that fit the scene. I usually layer multiple sounds to create a more natural atmosphere that matches what I remembered hearing in the moment. Definitely give video another try, it's a lot of fun once you find your style!

@ ahhh cool. I’ll definitely have to look into Epidemic Sound, see if I can create some audio as good as yours.

@@zachlahr329 lots of options out there, just happens to be the one I’ve been using. Good luck!

Thank you so much, that’s awesome! I really appreciate you being part of the channel for so long.

Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best on your journey this year as well!

I'd love to try out other setups, but I'm pretty invested in what I have now. - Hopefully in the future though!

I use Merlin Bird ID by Cornell lab. I find it extremely useful, it can tell you what birds are chirping. It's also easy to upload a photo and have it tell you what the bird is. This is pretty much how I learn on the go. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you so much for sharing, that means a lot! I'm really glad you've been enjoying all the videos.

Thank you! That was such an exciting and unexpected moment to capture, glad you enjoyed it!

I definitely have to give that a better try before the seasons is up, I haven’t had any luck yet! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you, Im glad you guys enjoyed the video! 😊

@@iShootWild Thank you so much! I will bump up the shutter speed for fast action or lower it for low-light situations, but 1/1000 is definitely my sweet spot when I have good light to work with. I keep the OSS on about 90% of the time, on mode 1. I’ve heard of others having issues with their copy of the 200-600, so I hope that’s all it was and that the new copy solves the problem, because it’s a great lens! Best of luck and happy shooting!

@@SonyAPSCshutterbug I really hope things start looking up for you this week! In the mean time, I’m happy the new video could bring some positivity your way. Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

@@magnusx7607 thank you!

@@jenniferdacreativeexplorer Thank you so much, Jennifer! I hope everything’s been going well with you and your creative journey!

@@CurtisSnapshot Pretty good. Just working on the courage to film my first mini-documentary. I'll get there. Starting with UA-cam Shorts first. You don't offer sessions on how to do a basic wildlife youtube video do you?

@@jenniferdacreativeexplorer I think that’s a great place to start! All my first videos were also shorts, it really helps build up the courage. I don’t currently offer any sessions, but feel free to reach out anytime. I’d be happy to offer some advice or guidance.

Wow, thank you so much! That really means a lot!!

Haha, happy 2025 to you too! I really didn't realize how much had happened in 2024, until I got working on this video. It was a fun year for sure, and now it's time to get working on making the new year just as great - or even better! Thanks for commenting, hope you enjoy the video!

That’s really awesome to hear! Wishing you all the best with your channel, and most importantly have fun creating!

​@@CurtisSnapshotits also cool to see some of the other wildlife that Ontario has compared to my area of Ontario

⁠@@JimWPhotographydefinitely! It’s always a treat to go somewhere new in Ontario, because the wildlife that can be found really does vary.

Awesome, glad to hear it! Thanks for commenting.

@@CurtisSnapshot Pleasure make sense close it down a couple of stops to have the images sharper. anyway I use mostly my a6600 and i have a 70-350 but I am really curious on how could be the a6600 plus 200-600 per 1.4 per my 1.5 crop factor of my a6600 Would i be able on your point of view to use it on basball games for example? with my actual setup i have a 70-350 whic is a 105-525mm on a full frame but with that 200-600 i would have a 300-900mm and moltiplied 1.4 i would have a 420-1260mm which is a gazillion zoom, my honest better workaround would be knowing if some camera companies gifted us with a 1.4 or a 2.0 af multiplier for e-mount apsc so i could keep my compact setup and still have a similar gazilionaire boombastic zoom. Thanks buddy, I have seen reviews that the 2x plus the 200-60 is not as good as it performs with you the 1.4x. really apreciate it.

Hey! I just looked through the images, and I mostly shot at 210mm. I did occasionally pull back to around 50-100mm when the ducks got really close. Since this is a crop sensor camera and lens, the full-frame equivalent is 315mm. Thanks for commenting! Hope the lens search is going well for you.

Hey! Thanks for watching and for your question. I’d recommend something in the 400mm to 600mm range. A 400mm is a great starting point, giving you solid reach for distant or small subjects while still being manageable in weight and size. Personally, I found that 400mm sometimes left me wanting more, so a 600mm can offer extra flexibility for different wildlife encounters. That said, wildlife photography can be done at a wide variety of focal lengths. No matter what gear you use, practice and patience make the biggest difference, so go with whatever suits your budget. I'm sure there are some great beginner-friendly videos on Canon lens recommendations. I hope this helps a little bit and good luck on your wildlife photography journey!

@@CurtisSnapshot Thanks so much for the detailed and well thought out response!

I didn't know that either!

I'm really glad you’re enjoying the videos, and that they can bring you some peace during such a difficult time. Wishing you both strength and good health.

@CurtisSnapshot thankyou 🤗 I actually managed to get out for an hour so I went down my local creek and photographed ring neck parakeets and a few wading birds😁 your videos inspired me 🤗 and thankyou for the kind words 🤗

@@JwelshPhotography awesome, that sounds like loads of fun, glad you got out for a bit!

Thankfully my phone battery holds up really well! I normally get through a full day of shooting. My GoPro on the other hand, only lasts about an hour, and I don’t usually carry a power bank. Thanks for commenting, really glad you’re enjoying these!

From the reviews I have seen, the 2.0x teleconverter doesn't pair well with the 200 - 600 in most situations. So, going with the 1.4x TC seemed like a safer option, while still getting just a bit more reach out of the lens, as well as increasing its magnification at the minimum focusing distance. Thanks for commenting, hope this helps!

@ thank you so much!!

Couldn't agree more, thank you for commenting!

Thank you Adam, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! Cheers.

Haha yay!

Thats a solid idea and a great way to practice new techniques! Thanks for sharing.

Just finished lol a great video and wow what a beautiful landscape in all that snow 😱❤️

@@JwelshPhotography Haha, it was absolutely gorgeous! Thanks again, I'm super glad you enjoyed!

Hey there, I hope you enjoyed the video!

@ can I know your Instagram id

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!

I can relate to that, especially during the winter months! Pushing through, and finally having a some good outing is the best feeling! Thank you for commenting.

I've heard that the Sigma Contemporary lenses aren't fully weather-sealed. My Sigma 100-400 has collected a bit of dust inside, whereas my Sigma 24-70 Art lens has held up much better in the elements. Native lenses definitely seem to have the better weather sealing for the outdoor elements. I hope the teleconverter works out well for you if you end up going with it! Thanks for commenting!

Totally agree, sharpness is important but not everything. Composition, storytelling, and understanding light make a big difference. It's something I'm always working on!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Enjoy your next trip to see the puffins, thanks for commenting!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the photos!

Thank you, this park is a lot of fun. The birds really help me reset from the everyday business of life. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

@@CurtisSnapshot We all need hobby that helps to relax, enjoy and thanks again !

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! Bird in flight photos are definitely tough, especially with the teleconverter attached, I miss way more photos than I successfully capture haha.

Hey! I use the Sony A7iv, hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting.
