American avocets! San Francisco Bay bird photography
Join me as I film and photograph shorebirds along the San Francisco Bay on a recent warm, calm morning. While I capture footage of terns, snowy egrets, and a mischievous black-necked stilt, my primary focus is on the strikingly beautiful American avocets.

Virginia rails after sunset! Coastal California bird photography
Переглядів 3102 місяці тому
I recently had some luck finding Virginia rails. The problem is they seem to only come out into the open after the sun is down...

Whimbrels! Birding on the California coast
Переглядів 772Рік тому
I spent a morning with the whimbrels on the coast of Northern California. These shorebirds have quite a bit of personality, and you never really know what will happen next. From a photographer's perspective, I like how they are challenging enough to where usually you can’t just walk right into telephoto distance and get a shot, but they aren’t so difficult that it would take serious effort to e...
What a gem! Bird photography on the California coast
Переглядів 3,5 тис.Рік тому
This year, I moved to the coast of Northern California! While I’m still working on achieving my goal of spotting a whale from inside my home, I do, however, have direct access to some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and the incredible wildlife that inhabits them via the Pacific Coast Highway. I took a short drive down to Pescadero in search of coastal birds to do some good ‘ol wildlife...

    Thanks for this review. I about the software a while ago but haven’t spent any time using it due to work. That is changing now, so your video is very timely for me even if it is a couple of years old now.

    I love A7s, when converted to full spectrum it turns into true night vision device. But long lens will be needed for greater zoom that's why I'm waiting for SPAD or x1000 more sensitive graphene CMOS sensor camera's to shrink camera size, weight and cost.

    I found this video to be very helpful. Not sure if someone already asked this or not, but with the ef 100-400, do you find 400 to be long enough or do you sometimes wish you had that extra 100mm reach in the RF 100-500? I'm asking because I am considering one of the two lenses. I have the VND adapter, but I also have front element VND that would fit the RF. Yes there is a price difference to consider as well. I'm curious to know if you find the 400mm length to be enough for the majority of filming, or if the increased length of the 500mm is worth the cost difference?

    @josephsee2425 2 місяці тому

    What do you think gets better results? Upscaling HD 240fps or Slowing down 4k120, say?

    • @RyanMenseWildlife
      @RyanMenseWildlife 2 місяці тому

      I can see it go both ways depending on the video input. If there’s fast movement, it can sometimes be difficult to get good results slowing down video, since it needs to create frames between existing frames, and the fast movement can be confusing. On the other hand, unless shooting with a higher end cinema camera, 240fps modes have a big dip in image quality. So you’re starting from something that’s lower quality and then upscaling it to 4k. But at least you’ll have all the frames you need in the original.

    Does the EOS R3 enable touch-auto focus (on it's flip -out LCD screen) even if you have an external monitor connected to the unit during video recording? If my memory is correct, you could do this with the Canon R. Thanks!

    Also this pre-roll takes audio, while FX6 only does it in S&Q without audio. Sony has a master class explaining this. To me using the A7SIII as my daily shooter while still have the luxury of pre-roll when paired with Ninja for wildlife is a game changer.

    Nice video. You know that u can record with preroll at shogun? It cashes 2s in 4k and 8 Hd... no quite like trigger fs5 but its something cool that dont let you loose same action before hit record, and you can set it to 120fps an slow in post.

    Dude, you need to set a button to return your focus point to the center of screen (standard). Then, if your focus lockon gets squirrelly you can return focus point to center.

    Have you used the QD feature of the new Kirk 'foot'? I've used the push button style QD for years with firearms and have recently started to use it with camera equipment. My SmallRig a6700 cage has a QD socket, which is very convenient, as does the kirk lp-68. I had several lying around, so it was a no-brainer for me. Since they are MILSPEC, the QD is extremely sturdy.

    Such a great reflection! I am still an FS5M2 user, and you made some great points about the buttons on the display, the control wheel, and the ease of use of off-and-on selection. I have watched a million videos about the FX6, and very few cover those topics.

    • @MindfulGrinds
      @MindfulGrinds 8 місяців тому

      Also the S&Q options and cache recording you discussed are right on. I completely agree and love the FS5M2 for that very reason.

      I don’t really think about it. Especially since 90% of the time I’m doing video with this camera. I’ve owned the a7R IV and played with the V and my favorite thing about that much resolution is that I can shoot photos in landscape orientation and later decide I want a vertical and still have the 24MP or whatever it is. Glad to hear you’re loving it!
