Thanks for the great video! Really enjoy the scenery! Your enthusiasm for observing and photographing wildlife makes your videos fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
As I already said on your 6.000 sub post, thanks for the tips and tricks, your calm way to explain things and the hard work you put into your videos! Please take care and keep up the great work. The bird shots are amazing as always. Can't wait for another comparison of the R8 to other cams (like the R7, of which you already said they are completely different cameras). You know really how to make the best of every equipment.
In the spring I do a lot of wildflower photography and spend most of my time laying on wet ground from March through May. I always like your videos. Those oystercatchers are really cool, love the eyes. I shoot an R7.
Great video, I have a R8 and a old ef 70-200 2.8, IS, the image stabilization is always engaged, any tips on how to disengage, until I actually want to take the photo?
Groundpod Skimmer amzn.to/47eoDiN and here's a video I did on it here. ua-cam.com/video/TmW3ogaZBM4/v-deo.html it has a fun encounter with a red throated loon in it also. The gimbal is a Benrio GH5C amzn.to/3stEgnD There's also a skimmer I have I like also by lens coat amzn.to/46daukM
Really interesting. I've got an r7 and was contemplating getting an R5 but Scott you've got me thinking about an R8 instead. 45 v 24 MP and ibis but I'm not sure which to get!!!
If you ca fill the frame the cost savings is there. If you cant then r5 but you do have the r7. Tough choice. Go rent an R8 and r5 and test each together and see
I discovered your channel about one month ago and I really enjoy your videos about gear salted with beautiful images of wildlife and birds. Great job! How does the R8 compare to the z9 in terms of eyeAF for birds?
I love Harlequin ducks. It isn't often I find them in smooth water. They seem to really like rough water around rocks. Whidbey Island is a great place to bird here in Washington State. Harlequin ducks, Black Oyster Catchers, are among the birds that are pretty easy to find and photograph there. I go there quite often since my mother in-law lives there. I haven't seen either of those birds in the south part of Puget Sound. Northern Shovelers are among my favorite as well.
Thanks Scott Interesting to see your Harlequin Ducks and Black Oystercatchers. Coincidentally, spent yesterday photographing a flock of Pied Oystercatchers and a solitary Sooty Oystercatcher (pale pink feet and legs instead of yellow). Weather my end a bit kinder and I was crawling around in sand instead!
Wow, you got so close to the Oystercatchers, I guess they really trusted you! It also helps to have no one else around. Nice find with the pipit. We had one at a local community garden in the Boston area this week that I was lucky enough to photograph, along with three kildeer chicks and their parents. Spring migration is much better here than last year so far!
Thanks - great video. What were - velcro strap 500mm rain protection? Tripod structure you were using - can it go a little higher? What was your rainjacket? Does it hose off if you lay in the mud? I am more inclined to bears and wolves but occasionally go down to the beach.
Links to the raincoat and gimbal are in the description of the video. And it doesn't go any higher as its made to stay low. Jacket is a SIMMS raincoat. it was discontinued last year :(
@@WILDALASKA Thanks - I found your other video with the review of the Naturescapes SKM-II Skimmer Ground Pod II. I could not find the rain velcro 500mm lens cover yet but I will keep looking.
27:13 flying duck shot is awesooome.
thanks
Had to sub because of your straightforward, down-to-earth way to explaining.
thx
Great video, really jealous of all the different species and wildlife that can be found in Alaska
thanks. It is a photographers paradise
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always and the beautiful scenery 👍🤗
thx
What a beautiful video, and photos! Thanks Scott.
Glad you enjoyed

Look for r8 videos this week on Wednesday and Sunday. And thanks !
I love the content, I've never been into bird photography, but I came for the Canon R8 content and now enjoy the bird photography.
thanks

yes they are
Very interesting! I would love to see a harlequin sometime
Gorgeous duck. Kodiak has a ton of them, as well as Homer.
Great videos, what would i like to know is, r7 or R8 what would you choose.
Thanks. Depends on your shooting needs. They are different cameras. If you can fill ht frame the r8 else the r7.
Great video, I have a R8 and a old ef 70-200 2.8, IS, the image stabilization is always engaged, any tips on how to disengage, until I actually want to take the photo?
Turn it off at the lens.
Thanks, that's what I was doing, I was just hoping that you knew some type of setting that would fix it
What tripod/stand are you using for the lens?
Groundpod Skimmer amzn.to/47eoDiN and here's a video I did on it here. ua-cam.com/video/TmW3ogaZBM4/v-deo.html it has a fun encounter with a red throated loon in it also.
The gimbal is a Benrio GH5C amzn.to/3stEgnD
There's also a skimmer I have I like also by lens coat amzn.to/46daukM
Would love to be able to get a R sserice camera
👍

The canon Eye AF is better with all the canon R Line. Nikon is closing the gap though.

Your happy place many of us can relate too lol. Great video bro
thx
Hi from the UK, great video felt like I was there with you.. And thanks for reminding me I have a tripod collar! Easily forgotten, and a great tip...
yes, Im always watching that level in the viewfinder. Nothing worst than getting back to the computer and everything is tiled by 10 degrees ;)

Very cool. Shorebirds are a favorite of mine to photograph
I just ordered a 150-600 for Fuji. Looks like I’m going to have to get in better shape to get down low on rocks. Respect
lol

Very cool. It's pretty iffy here is far as everything is 3 weeks or more behind schedule due to the late winter thaw
Excellent photography, always good to see what your habitat presents for photography compared to U.K.
Thanks
Great video Scott really impressed with that R8 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its a great little camera
If only AF matters which you will choose that from Canon R8 or Sony a7RV?
hands down r8
Good video, enjoyed hanging in Alaska with you and the birds
thanks
Great video. Do you spend most of your time on the coast or do you get into interior AK at all?
Thanks and all over really
Looks like fun, thinking about an R8

its a good camera for wildlife stills if you can fill the frame and great for video
