Love these bloopers!! Merry Christmas 🎉
Just a question... the replay button is now in the right hand corner, so no left hand use required. So why not use fn2 for something else.
Habit I suppose. I am used to it being there, it takes less of a stretch and there is nothing else that I require the button for.
Excellent photos, my favourite there again, the blue tit! The perches look great and very natural. Sometimes birds perch on our garden ornaments and that makes a nice photo - I love it, too, when the robin or some other bird perches on an old-fashioned metal watering can that we found in the garden when we moved here. Looking forward already to the next video!
I have about 40 images at the moment for part 2. Still have another week of trying to get some additional photos. Still waiting for a woodpecker. Spent nearly two hours in the hide this morning
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography Ah, you know what they say about a watched pot never boiling! The woodpecker will turn up when least expected. While I was on 'hold' on the phone yesterday and no camera in hand, my hubby spotted a sparrowhawk swoop through our garden, and shortly afterwards a buzzard flew over. If I had had my camera to hand, none of that would have happened!!
Taylor knows how it feels to have the whole world turn their backs on you and villanize you. She has also experienced sexual harassment/assault. Taylor know exactly what Blake must be going through.❤
Thanks for the video! Going on my first cruise next week onboard this ship so appreciate all the information 😊
I am sure you will enjoy it. We did.
Hi Darrell Your new bird perches look very effective, some lovely photographs. We would love to see bird photographs in the snow, they always look that little bit extra special. Wishing you and your wife Seasons greetings and a Happy New Year. Many thanks Jon and Sandra
Always enjoy the garden videos. All sorted for the Big Garden Bird Watch. Best wishes for the festive period 🍻
Many thanks. My RSPB magazine came a week or so ago and there are details of the bird watch in there. More than likely will do a video.
Amazing setup. Thanks for sharing. 1 LIKE from me.
You are very kind.
Darrell, I see the video premiered April 2023 and the content is still relevant today. Kim @kimgrantphotography is a gem and I have spent several hours watching her videos. You both are an inspiration to keep a positive mindset. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I did meet Kim later in the year. She is just the same in person.
Hello Darrel, I love the creativity you present with your setups. Nicely done! You are doing a great service with your videos! Thanks!
I appreciate that! I will be taking some more photos over the holiday period ready for part two.
Darrell I officially invite you to my Thai Garden, it is two acres, I have lots of soft fruits a large bird bath and have been feeding the birds in an attempt to attract them for over ten years, Mate photographing them is a challenge as they have many predators as well has humans
Hi Darrell We thought the winter photographs of the trees in the wood were really good, they would make good mono prints. The snow makes everything look so scenic and peaceful. Thanks Jon and Sandra
Thanks. I enjoyed making this one.
Hi Darrell An interesting video. Your blurred backgrounds look very effective. It makes you think more about the settings before you take your photographs as to what background you want to achieve. Thanks Jon and `Sandra
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
Excellent, thank you from Australian
The snow makes everything look so pretty and the images you got are beautiful. Down here on the south coast we had a morning of snow, which settled, but it thawed the next day.
It didn’t last long here, which is why I reused out.
Good job
Thanks
Hi Darrell, I really enjoyed coming along with you on your walk, looks lovely and peaceful where you live. Nice images, my favourite is the big tree in the field. Thanks for bringing us along 👍📷
Glad you enjoyed it. I do live in a nice part of the world.
very nice! would like some snow down here in Surrey - all this rain and cloud is a bit dull. cheers Darrell, thanks again
We don’t get as much snow often as they do just 10 miles away.
I take it the prices are per month ?
That is correct.
Great Video. What Lenses were used for these superb samples (100-400 ???)
I was using the 100 -400 at the time I released this video. Shortly after, I got the 180-600.
very good bro
Thanks.
very helpful thank you I'm looking forward to my Caribbean trip next weeknd
Hope you enjoy it.
I find doing a test shot then adjusting depth of field works best for me. In the field I dont have time to check my depth of field scale on my phone. You should become familiar with the lens you are using and you will find you will naturally adjust depth of field without having to think about it similar to muscle memory from playing a musical instrument
To be honest I never use the app. Until, I remade this video I had forgotten it was on my phone.
An excellent tutorial and the demo was a great help. I admit I don't always plan for a smooth background, but when it happens by accident, what a difference it makes to my images!
I often just use aperture priority with a wide aperture. It gives fastest shutter speeds and best chance of blurred backgrounds.
@DarrellOakdenPhotography All tips and advice very gratefully received, thanks so much! Still got so much to learn!
Spectacular images!
Thanks.
Hi Darrell we loved the trees and the mist photographs they were very atmospheric . The sunrise behind the trees was ace. What a great morning you had. Thanks Jon and Sandra
Thanks it was lovely. Tomorrow's video was filmed in snow a few days later.
Beautiful wildlife captures. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks.
Cracking shots 👏
Thank you
Great photos
Thank you
good tips there Darrell, many thanks. I'm really enjoying these weekly snippets. Many thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you’re finding the tips helpful. Your encouragement keeps me motivated to create more!
Great video
Thanks
@DarrellOakdenPhotography 👍
Gorgeous images! What a lovely morning it was and I love the way you got your compositions. I would never have the imagination for that kind of photography.
I really appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to know that you enjoyed the compositions. Keep exploring your creativity; you might surprise yourself!
@@DarrellOakdenPhotography It would be lovely if I did! 🙂
Some lovely shots and ideas for those of us who don’t live in the Lake District or mountain highlands of scotland. You should do more like this. Thanks
Funny you should say this. The video in a few weeks is many of the same locations, but in the snow.
very enjoyable Darrell with a cuppa on a Sunday morning thank you.
I did like the way that this video turned out. A similar one coming in a few weeks when it snowed a few days after this day.
Very nice pics of the tree. Enjoyed your explaining the process.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Really cool!
Thanks
Thanks this is a great video for different ways of being creative. Me likes.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video :) I've been debating in my mind whether to get Z8 or not. What i read online about the noise problem and low light poor performance, has been holding me back, thus i was inclining towards Sony A1. However A1 costs nearly twice as much as Z8.
Glad I could help!
Hi Darrell I’m Ken May from Georgia in the U.S. and have been enjoying your photography ! I have recently started wildlife/bird photography and really enjoying it and have gotten some really good tips keep the videos coming Darrell and have a great day!
Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Very good reserve overall. The bunting hide used to be very good, but now, it is predominately just a feeding station for grey squirrels. The birds hardly get a look-in.
There were a lot of squirrels, but I still saw plenty of birds.
Stunning captures as always on the Z8 - hard to choose a favourite but I liked the coal tit and the bullfinch a lot. I was hoping to get the Z8 myself, but even though the price is reduced at the moment, it's just too heavy for me even without a lens, so I have to be sensible - unfortunately! Thank you very much for the lovely mention - that made my day! Look forward to your next video!
You are welcome. I do appreciate your support.
Hi Darrell Some great photographs of the Egrets. We only see them occasionally so it’s always to see a number of them. The Autumn colours looked really nice and colourful. Many Thanks Jon and Sandra
I was shocked to see so many. I was really pleased with the in flight shots.
Hi Darrell Spectacular photographs of the Aurora. Thanks Jon and Sandra
Thanks. I nearly missed it again. I was thanks to a neighbour who messaged us on facebook.
It's not as good as it used to be council are more interested in making money at cafe and not looking after hide area's :(
I barely saw anyone else in the hides so it was really good from that point of view.
Nice peaceful photos
Thanks

Hi Darrell I enjoyed your video as I usually do.im a novice at photography and so I take note of your settings.i notice that squirrels feature in your video more often.i live in the fens and squirrels only arrived about 20years ago and the birds have decreased in number
Our squirrels are vilified because the more dominant grey version decimated the native red species which can now only be found in a few places.
Great photos Darrell.
