Is this a technique you have tried before? Do you have any other suggestions that work for you?
Super helpful! Thank you for sharing this great tip.
I like how you say " be strong and do not press that button!!". Thank you for great tips on your set ups.
Great idea increasing the depth of field to enlarge the area in focus!!
Hi Nick, thanks so much for tuning in. I am glad you enjoyed it....! It is absolutely crucial .... I pump it up as high as my ISO allows in that moment...
Those competition entries are SO spectacular they intimidate the hell out of me.
Thank you for the fantastic tips. Helping so much to be more successful. Missing the Chobe. Enjoy on our behalf.
Hi Marleen, thanks so much for tuning in. I am glad you enjoyed it....! Hope to see you soon...

Glad you think so!
Awesome 👌 thank-you for sharing your tips!. Ontario 🇨🇦
Pleasure Michelle.
We were so lucky to have learnt from you years ago. Your tips have enabled us to capture some really super birds in flight photos.
Your photography is coming on leaps and bounds Cheryl...and Trevor's too!
Nice tip - thanks Guts - see you whenever we can get back to Chobe!!
Hi Nick, thanks so much for tuning in. I am glad you enjoyed it....! Hope to see you soon...
Nice one!! 😎😀🧐
Thank you.
Very Informative.
Thanks for uploading...
Glad it helped.
Thank you, Guts, for valuable tips! For me switching to Manual Focus always helped.
Hi Elena, thanks so much for tuning in. I am glad you enjoyed it....!
Very interesting...
Glad you think so!
Great tip as usual & this channel is the oracle of bird and wildlife photography.
We are trying....lots more to come.
Janine, I agree but the Camera's ISO capability is truly awesome. I shall have to try it and see. I will have no excuses for motion blur or inefficient depth of field. Heaven only knows when next I will get to Southern Africa. I can't wait.
Cheers Guts. another good tip !
Thanks Guy.
Guts, I have just purchased the Canon 1DX MK 111. It has simply awesome focussing and ISO capability. I think with this camera one could step up the shutter speed to 1/8000 sec and at f/11 get an even greater depth of field and be even more assured of getting a sharp image. I guess the ISO would probably 4000 for such a shot. This its well within the camera's capability. I would love to give it a try one day with you guys.
Great camera Rob. We played with one just before lockdown. Looking forward to getting you to Chobe to try it out!
Hi Rob, thanks for tuning in... what an amazing camera.... However, on a 1/8000 and f11 you would shoot that ISO up quite high. It would defiantly hit 8000 and higher even during bright daylight. As 1/4000 is more than sufficient for these guys I would rather trade it for an ISO slightly lower. I don't have my Canon 1Dxii capped and easily go up to 20000 ISO but with any Kingfisher the devil lies in the details and the ISO might destroy that
would love t o own that seat and stand.
or you could come and use them for a while with us! ;-)
Thank you for sharing this technique!!
Any time!
A great tip. I have been doing this recently around woodpecker nest holes.
Is it working? Are you getting the shots?
Pangolin Wildlife Photography It is. Nests are great because you know the birds have to come out sometime. And you learn their patterns.
excellent, thank you as always
Thanks again Denise!
Great! Can't wait to try this.
Please do!
Very nice idea! I will give it a try! Thank you, and thank you for making this video! )))
You're welcome 😊
Great video. What lens did you use - 500mm?
Hi Nick, thanks so much for tuning in. Guts is shooting a 200-400 mm with the build in converter...
Nicely explained, and, nicely done!
Thank you kindly!
what is that camera mount your using, I see several of them on that boat what are they, a modified computer monitor mount ?
Good tech,..............thank you
You're welcome!
Yes, you are absolutely right about that. Photographing birds flying toward us is the most difficult area. The problem with birds is that they fly really fast:) Especially the small one:) Anyway, thank you for a great video, very helpful for sure.
Absolutely! Thanks Margaret.
Thank you so much for the tips, r u on AI Servo, is it ? Is it point focus area you use ?? Or the one with 4 helps points around?? Thanks in advance for your reply, cheers, Dilan
great tip for an amateur like me
Hi Akhilesh, thanks so much for tuning in. I am glad you enjoyed it....! Hope to see you soon...
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722 sometime..been to masai
With the Sony RX10-IV 24fps there's a high chance you'll get some good shots of BIF.
Hi, thanks for tuning in. That high frame rate definitely helps....
Great ideas.... does it not work well with the "servo" function in that is will continue keeping the focus on the moving bird?
Hi Ron, thanks so much for tuning in. On AI Servo you will have to be on back button focus to make this work... then you can simply take your thumb off the button after initially focusing. Otherwise you will have to shoot One-Shot as Guts explains!
@@janine-pangolinphotohost9722 Would you not continue holding the back button with servo as it should then keep refocusing on a moving target?
You make it look so easy but hey, it still requires, the many variables to come together, especially that of "light", and unless a Pied Kingfisher or Bee-eater the. "point of intersection", between bird and focus may be problematic. Nevertheless, a great tip and something to practice in various settings. Thank you.
No worries Colin. Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent Shot is it Single or Group AF point used?
Hi Arup, always single AF point - cheers Guts
@@PangolinWildlife But flying shot is best for Group AF yes single is always best.
You can also switch to manual focus once you've focused. Same outcome as back button focus but you can't then accidentally shift focus.
Good point!
