Whatever you said to that grey heron in December he found hilarious
Haha, thanks for watching!
Nice to have a local channel.
Glad to have you here, thanks for commenting!
UA-cam's Algorithm just suggested this video to me. And boy Am I glad that it did. Your 2023 retrospective video is just about everything that i love in photography. Casual and peaceful outings full of wildlife. And that Northern Lights shot at 4 min. is stunning. I'm happy to be onboard, and I can't wait to watch your other videos!
Thank you so much, it's awesome finding an audience of like minded people to share these adventures with!
Let’s gooo 2024
🎉
Thank you for posting this. I always sleep on the wildlife of Ontario because I'm so used to seeing it everyday. But your videos gives me a lot of inspiration to go out and actually appreciate the widlife that we have. Keep it up, I'm excited to watch more of your videos
I'm constantly surprised by new things I discover throughout Ontario! Of course I'd like to take my adventures else where someday, but I'm certainly not bored of what Ontario has to offer! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for commenting.
So amazing
Thank you!
Wild nature is ❤
Very nice pictures of the 2023. I very like your video. It is one of the best
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
This was basically a giant vessi ad
If only I had those new @vessi winter boots for some upcoming adventures.
What a great year u had Curtis. I live in Edmonton Alberta, winter here is not great for bird photography, the other seasons are really good. But alas in 2025 I will be moving to our new home near Owen Sound Ontario. Good luck in 24.
Owen sound will be great all year around for birds. There’s eagles along Georgian bay, as well as tons of duck species and of course the summer will be amazing for plenty of other birds.
Thanks for commenting, hope you have a great year!
I am so happy to see your wife goes with you on your adventures. Mine does too, as well as edits my photot's. I too shoot Sony, I have a a7R IV and a a1. My favorite lens is , of course, the 200-600mm with the 1.4 tele. Wonderful videos, keep up the great work.
I’m very glad she puts up with all the trails, whenever we go somewhere new.
Thanks for commenting, have a great new year!
Northern Lights are soo fing beautiful!
Absolutely, they're stunning! I've become completely obsessed by the idea of chasing them again. Haven't had the fortune to catch them a second time yet, but fingers are always crossed! Thanks for commenting!
Beautiful photos ❤ just came across your channel. I'm glad I did. I am looking forward to your 2024 adventures.
Thank you, happy to have you here 😊
Looks like 2023 was a great year. Hope your 2024 is equally adventurous.
Lovely work, these videos are always a great retrospective!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video, I'm looking forward to seeing more throughout 2024. Good luck. :)
Thank you!
that was so much fun to watch! I'm just starting to dabble into wild life photography after being a portrait, wedding photographer for several years. I am learning that patience is key with wild life photography. 2023 was a great year for you!
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Good-luck on your wildlife photography journey!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
You got some amazing shots!

Thank you so much! Absolutely, I’m very grateful for each and every encounter and I’m already off to a great start to make 2024 even better.
Congrats! Beautiful photos! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!
An amazing year ! I discovered your chanel this year, waiting for the day I will have my first camera. And this day came. Now I'm dreaming, watching your videos AND taking pictures. Happy new year
That’s awesome, I’m super excited for you! Happy new year!
Its been pleasure following you. Hope you have great year ahead and waiting for more content. Cheers
I appreciate that! Hope you have a great year as well. Cheers
Wait you only have 2000 subscribers? I rarely watch videos that are longer than 10-15 minutes without skipping any parts but I have watched every second of this video and wished it was even longer. This video is extremely well done and I love how you make it come to live with all the videos but also show tons of pictures. I also especially like how you show unedited and edited pictures as well.
I just started my wildlife photography journey with an old Canon 600d that I bought years ago. Your video has inspired me a lot and I can't wait to watch your next videos.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video and found it inspiring. I'm glad to hear about your journey into wildlife photography, keep capturing the beauty around you. Your support is greatly appreciated. Happy shooting!
I got some of my best hummingbird photos just from my backyard as well!
Awesome! I might try to build a small garden for them this year, so that I can attempt to photograph them around the plants.
Thanks for commenting, hope you enjoyed the video!
@@CurtisSnapshot i thought about doing the same thing, i have sunflowers in my backyard I thought about setting a feeder in or around them to see if they would land on them
Such a sleeper channel, wtf you deserve so much more reach, keep it up, an absolute inspiration to a starter photographer like myself
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Good luck on your new photography journey!
Excellent video 👌
Thank you!
What is the best Sony focus area for wildlife. I have been wondering this for a while is it zone. wide, flexible spot small, can Somme please tell me
Depending on the model of Sony camera you have, my go to focus setting is the tracking option. I find its the most powerful and accurate because as your subject moves, the focus box tries to stay locked on across the screen. Within tracking, I use a mix of wide focus zones, as well as small, medium and large focus spots.
Its okay if you don't have tracking though, because
whether to choose a wide focus zone or a flexible spot "small" depends on what you're shooting. For a bird in the sky, I would go for the wide focus zone. For a small bird in the bushes, you might have more luck with a small focus point. I'm not sure there is a perfect choice, but on my old Sony a7ii I did prefer the flexible spot option.
I hope that made sense, thanks for commenting on the video!
What do you use to record you camera viewer? Like at 1:31
I use Sonys “Creators’ App”, it allows you to wirelessly connect to select Sony cameras, from there you can screen record what your view finder sees.
Thank you@@CurtisSnapshot
