200 f/2 & 400 f/4 For Wildlife Photography? In the Field Photographing Beautiful Butterflies!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- I try out the amazing Canon 200 f/2 to photograph butterflies, I add a 2x teleconverter making it a 400 f/4 to see what difference it makes. Let me know which images you prefer and which focal length you preferred.
I had a lot of fun making this video and I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers, Duade

Great session with the butterflies! How wonderful. Love the out takes too . . . . .
Thanks Denise, they sure are beautiful and a lot of fun to shoot. Cheers, Duade
I like it, when you are showing the RAW and the final Picture. Realy cool vodeo. Thamk you
G'day Ben, my pleasure, glad it was helpful. Cheers, Duade 👍
In the outtakes the really charming "well it'd help me a lot if you ... 👍 (waving thumb)" got me! :D very likeable
Thanks Pascal, Cheers, Duade
"It can be a bit tricky" is an understatement. Great images.
Thanks Kevin, yes, they were a challenge but fun at the same time. Cheers, Duade
Love your videos, like how you show the raw file and the crop.
G'day Richard, thanks for the feedback, yes showing the Raw helps show what I do in post processing. Cheers, Duade
If I have to pick one, the butterfly in flight at 2:15 is my favorite. Not your typical shot. A little extra patients and a fast shutter finger. A lot of great shots. Thanks
Thanks JH, more luck than anything with that shot, Cheers, Duade
fabulous video, love taking pictures of butterflies.
Thanks Ammadoux, I do as well and hope to get more once it starts to warm up. Cheers, Duade
Great video. I Love your enthusiasm for nature photography, whatever is in front of your lens. As usual, lots of excellent information as well. Thank you so much. 👏👏👏
Thanks Andy, yes, I need to do more butterfly photography, Cheers, Duade
This is such an elegant video; throughly enjoyable and thought provoking - thanks Duade
Thanks Ian, it was a lot of fun. Cheers, Duade 👍
Just told my wife I'm gonna become a butterfly photo expert this year. We have tons of them during the summer. Thanks for the heads up video.
Thanks Paul, sounds like fun, good luck with it, Cheers, Duade 👍
at 3:21 i think there was a bold jumping spider near the bottom of the stem, they're beautiful species
G'day Josh, I'm not sure we get them in Australia? But good spotting it does appear to be a little critter of some sort. Cheers, Duade
Hi Duade.
Another inspirational video.
Your passion for photography is infectious. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and sharing your extensive knowledge. I could watch your videos all day. Thanks again.
Gene
G'day Gene, I am sitting here with a smile on my face, thank you so much for your kind words, I am happy I can share what I love to do, and others also get benefit from it. Cheers, Duade
Lovely background music
Thanks, Cheers, Duade
Super excited to see another video I used to shoot a lot of macro flowers and bugs! Haven't watched your video yet at home with covid thank you for brightening my day! In the US there's such a demand on cameras that my order for my 5D is on hold. Thank you for sharing your talents! God bless & "cheers"!
G'day Mary, thank you for the ongoing support, I am glad you enjoy the videos, good luck once you get the camera. Cheers, Duade
Awesome video Duade.❤👍👍
Thanks William, I appreciate it, Cheers, Duade
Such a peaceful field, loved the video!
Thanks for the feedback, Cheers, Duade
these videos are always an inspiration for me to just go out to take photos and have fun. Thanks!
Happy to hear that!
Yes there is fun to be had with Butterflies indeed , neat vid Duade i just give my old dust pump 100-400 a good run on them plus dragonflies and Damsels quite often, cheers
Great to hear from you Rick, glad to hear you have fun out there with the 100-400, a lens I would love to have. Cheers, Duade
Great shots Duade! And I must say I really like your channel with the serious wildlife approach, there are not so many out there. The 400 2.8 review was also awesome! I was lucky and just got a 300 2.8 L IS with a 5DII and a 2x converter by chance - going to try it out for birding and then also in spring for butterflies and dragonflies. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Dirk
Thanks Dirk, congrats on the new gear, good luck with it. Cheers, Duade
Wow amazing
Thanks Jerrin, Cheers, Duade 👍
Great video again, I liked all the photo's but I prefer the ones with the flowers in it over the ones with the clear background.
Thanks Monique, I appreciate the feedback. Cheers, Duade 👍
Always enjoy your videos. I wish I could make it Down Under someday to photograph the incredible flora and fauna there. Thank you -- I've been shooting for roughly four decades and I still enjoy learning new things -- and relearning some of those things that we come to take for granted over time.
Thanks Ted, yes I have been wanting to try photographing new things but the lure of birds is very strong. But I had a lot of fun so I might seek out new Butterflies to photograph. Yes we are very lucky to have the flora and fauna we have. Cheers, Duade
Great video! It’s wonderful to see your enjoyment in simply taking photos of nature’s beauty.
Thanks again Louisa, I am glad it comes through as I do get joy from photographing nature in all its beauty. Cheers, Duade
Gorgeous location🌼You must have been in heaven getting those beautiful shots!
G'day Carolyn, yes, I was in my element, I was happy that I could video it and share with you all. Cheers, Duade
Wow...awesome photos and video. Really appreciate you sharing your photography tips.
G'day Cesar, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
2:15 absolutely great moment captured 👌
Thanks, yes it was a very enjoyable session, thanks for the support. Cheers, Duade 👍
Great video. I agree with getting lost in moment. Getting up close with these beautiful creatures and being out in nature is almost more satisfying than the image itself! Although getting the perfect picture is pretty satisfying too! By the way, I do focus on the eye as I’m up close anyway with my Sigma 105 macro. Cheers, Kevin
Thanks Kevin, I agree, I might have to invest in a good macro lens at some stage. Cheers, Duade
👍 amazing
Beautiful....
Thank you.
Beautiful shots! Some of my first serious photography was doing butterflies for an exhibit at a local zoo. Just the background there was beautiful, here we're heading into winter with rain and everything gray and dreary. Until we get snow I pretty much hold up inside or we get good clear cold weather and I go out to photograph nesting bald eagles.
Keep up the excellent work. I always look forward to your videos.
G'day Guy, yes many zoos have amazing butterflies, good luck with the Eagles, a bird I would love to photograph one day. Cheers, Duade
After this virus gets under control, if you make it to America in the winter time I'll show you bald eagles by the dozen, snow geese in the 10's of 1000's, hawks and a wide variety of water fowl. In the early summer there are nesting ospreys that in a boat you can within 50 feet of and they almost pose. Not to mention some of the best southern cooking I've ever had the enjoyment of eating.
I'm 63 retired and plan on doing photography until my time comes to an end. Then just in case I'm being buried with a camera and lense.
Gday Guy, sounds like my kind of trip, thanks for the offer, hopefully I will get there to take you up on it. Cheers, Duade
Superb buddy, loving the RAW to Picture 👌 .... the painted ladies are super stunning! I'm after a 200 f/2 atm so that was totally interesting for me! Cheers bud, stay safe JP
Thanks JP, Cheers, Duade
There is always a balance between getting the really close shots and getting nice habitat shots, isn't there? I think your sots got better at 400mm, while still including the surroundings. Thanks, Duade.
Thanks Woody, I agree, I am always trying to get that right balance, sometimes I wish I had a zoom lens to allow me some creativity. Cheers, Duade
I love shooting macro. I have the canon macro 100mm f2.8 L series lens with image stabilisation.
Sounds like a great lens, I need a dedicated Macro lens at some stage. Cheers, Duade
Nice change of pace, Duade I really like the 400
Thanks Stan, yes, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it, thanks for the comment. Cheers, Duade
Hi thanks for the information Best Regards Tim
G'day Tim, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade 👍
All ways enjoy your vlogs Duade, no matter what the subject. Some very nice images taken. My favourite is at 11.13. Getting a close with the x2 tc made a difference. 👍
Thanks Justin, I was really happy with that shot also, Cheers, Duade
I do enjoy more of a habitat photo. The one of the butterfly feeding right in front of you I thought it was cropped too hard but I can also see the enjoyment of the subject being large and filling the frame. My biggest struggle is finding the subjects! The other month I found a location that had flowering trees full of scarlet honey-eaters. A couple of weeks later I got a chance to go back and the flowers had all died and there wasn't a single bird to be seen!!! hahaha
G'day Wombat, thanks for your input, yes birds can come and go very quickly. Cheers, Duade 👍
tq good you vedio ..i like tq i from malaysia
Thank you, Cheers, Duade 👍
Tnx for sharing and taking us along. They are all nice but I like best the flying one mainly because it is rare to capture/see/freeze a butterfly mid air. Some comparison between the 2x v the sole lens would be nice to see the extent to which IQ degraded. It was also interesting to see that narrow DoF which is insufficient to contain a butterfly which is only a few cm in length. I think it has to do with how close you where to them. Did you experience significant AF slow down with the 2x? I think since you mounted the 2x you were only doing stationary butterflies.
Thanks Dimitris, the native lens is very fast and a 2x does have a small impact but I was very impressed with the sharpness and quality of the photos. The details were very good. Yes the DOF was narrow due to both the aperture and how close I was, Cheers, Duade 👍
Another subscriber : greetings from Uganda : this is so educative👌
Welcome Jonnah, great to have you on board. Cheers, Duade 👍
Hi Duade enjoyed your video, prefer some flowers in shot, but liked the 400mm for more detail. What is the closest you can focus with that setup. I use a canon 300mm f4 lens with 1.4 extender to make it 420mm 5.6. The closest i can focus is 1.4 metres. Get great shots although guilty of tighter shots with less background. Use a cropped sensor 7dii as well.
Sorry 1.5 metres
G'day Paul, the MFD is 1.9m so not as close as I would have liked :-) Yeah, the 100-400 and the 300 f4 both do well with magnification that is for sure. I would love that new 100-500 for butterflies, I think. Cheers, Duade
Yeah that new lens has a MFD of 1.2 (looked it up) metres at 500mm pretty good.
@@pauljeffery9127 Yes, it also takes a converter well so even more reach. Cheers, Duade
Nice lens this 200mm F2! I like to use my 300mm F4 togheter with a 1.4 extender, also use extension tubes. Have the R6, it allows me to put 68mm extension tube between the camera and the lens and make sharp close-up picture's of insects/butterfly's.
C N, thanks for you comment. Sounds like you have a great system, I might need to get myself and extension tube. Cheers, Duade
Love butterflies, enjoyed your beautiful images! 💕 Thank you so much for sharing all the helpful tips of how to photograph them. Just a question, do you focus on their eyes? 🤔
G'day Joyce, thank you for your kind words, focusing on the eyes is what I do with birds and it just came out, I would be doing well to see butterflies eyes through the camera :-) But having a nice pose is important, Cheers, Duade
Hi Duade
Thanks for a another interesting video
It seems that we have both been doing the same things this week. My next youtube video out this Sunday is on Butterflies and bees landing on flower spikes that have shot out of the native grasses
and the challenge I had in a forest environment with the sun going in and out of the clouds and other stuff .
Thanks again Cheers Derek
Thanks Derek, sounds like fun, always good to try different things and I had fun making this video. Cheers, Duade 👍
Great fun..my 180 Sigma macro is absolutely sharp I love it, btw, I notice with most of your bird pics are very much front lit,is that how the buyers prefer them?
Chris, thanks for the comment, the front lighting is purely a preference, I find with backlight or sidelight it can get dark heavy shadows on the bird and I like to make the eyes bright and engaging. Of course different lighting can make for wonderful shots so it just comes down to what you prefer. Cheers, Duade
Lovely bokeh
Thank you, Cheers, Duade
I laughed about your comment about taking more environmental type photos with your subjects. I focus about 80 percent of my time chasing owls and I run into the same problem with too many close in shots. My solution was to leave my bigger lenses at home and only take a 200mm F/2.8 with me to force me to take environmental shots. What ever works...
That sounds like a great idea, I might try that, just taking a shorter focal length and making it work. Thanks for the comment, Cheers, Duade
Common browns exhibit sexual dimorphism and it appeared you only had males there. Just if anyones interested. What can I say, I'm a butterfly nerd.
G'day Mark, thanks for your input, there were numerous males as you saw but no females that I could tell. Any reason why that is the case? Are there just less females? Or do the females change when breeding? I have photographed the female on a previous occasion but seem to see more males. Cheers, Duade
@@Duade No I don't know why that population was biased towards the one sex. Butterflies don't change sex in the way some animals do to the best of my knowledge. It would be interesting to know the reason. Cheers Duade.
Is it macro lense?
G'day Farhat, no it isn't a macro lens but the combination of focal length and distance to subject allows the close up shots. Cheers, Duade
Wow!!
I need a prime lens for a upgrade as I have a 55-250mm lens?
Any recommendations
I don't know what your budget is, but if you want a not too expensive upgrade the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is ii usm is a very nice lens. Friends of my have the Tamron 150-600mm that is a nice lens too that give you a big range, but it is very heavy, for me to heavy :) I love to go on a hike with my 70-300 and my 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
but I am a real "bug person"
The Canon 100-400 version 2 is a lovely lens. Very versatile and sharp. Prime wise the 400 5.6 is affordable and sharp. And as Monique mentioned the 600 zooms give you plenty of reach but at the extra weight. Cheers, Duade 👍
Thanks Monique, I am getting more into bugs and may need to get a macro lens or a 100-400 one day. Cheers, Duade 👍
@@Duade do I need a monopod for it as it doesn't have image stabilization?
@@alpinist3178 You can use it handheld but your shutter speed needs to be above 1/400th if a second. The 100-400 is a better option but is more expensive. Cheers, Duade 👍
Great results from the 200L f2 and 2x converter. Though this set up is way too expensive for me, so I use my ef 70-300L IS USM which works well.
However my friend mind has the ef 100-400L mkii and that is great for this type of shoots. Plus it is a lot cheaper !
Butterflies are difficult to photograph as you really do need a good location to get the clean background.
I have some macro images here
www.ephotozine.com/user/tornadotys-278410/portfolio
G'day, yes, the 100-400 is amazing as it focuses so close which enables really detailed shots. Beautiful shots, aviation is something I have never tried but would like to one day. Cheers, Duade
Did you use af tracking?
I think this was on a DSLR so I used AI Servo and expanded focus points from memory. Cheers, Duade
@@Duade I use af tracking all the time for birds on the a7rii and it works pretty good
