Hi Friends, As always, thank you for the kind comments. I really enjoy reading through them and hearing what you have to say. I'm out the next few days putting together another video so forgive me if I don't get back to you soon. You have a great weekend.
Great video about something we all experience, crappy images, crappy weather and alot of images to delete. Although good equipment. I also like your style of narrating, calm and humorius. I liked and subscribed. 👍🏻🇸🇪
As always a great video, I love your narration. Feels like I can connect with you, your work and the pain, faliure, success. you come accross. Keep up the good work.
6:46 That what I experience, all that back breaking work, lack of sleep to get up early, all the fuel then I get home just to delete all of my photos! You just know when you have got the shot, your instantly drawn to that picture even right after you have snapped it. But some days that picture never comes
An educational and inspirational video, thank you. The pictures are great. If you ever come to Costa Rica you’d have lots of rainy days but so many animals to photograph, especially in the Tortuguero area, where I had the opportunity to take good pics. You need to go on a boat at around 5:30 in the morning, it’s definitely worth it.
"Proving once again that you can take really crappy pictures with good equipment" Love it Josh, been there many times! Very interesting to see the work flow process. Another great video.
Thank you Craig. I just want some of these newer guys to understand that it's not typically world class results straight out of these camera. it takes a lot of work sometimes to get decent images.
As much as you don’t like editing, I don’t like watching other people edit-so I hope you don’t mind that I skipped that part of your video. I enjoy the video, and I’m going to subscribe and binge watch your videos, because you’re interesting.
Justamente esos "días malos", infructuosos, son los que van dando experiencia y te preparan para momentos especiales en los que necesitas actuar rápido y ya estás listo para obtener las grandes fotos. Tus videos son muy motivadores, por una lado la historia bien contada y por otro las técnicas propias de la fotografía. En resumen, ningún día es "perdido", sino que al contrario, te fortalece. Saludos desde Chile!!!
New subscriber here.. man your videos are really something else. Great philosophy on shooting. It's very motivating and I can't wait to dive back into birds again.
Sometimes you just gotta. I did one once by myself in sub zero F temp with a foot of snow.... overnight and an 8-mile hike. But when you have to go you have to go.
Your videos are therapy man. So smooth and peaceful. Those duck rain shots are awesome. You are a perfect example of a photographer using the gear to its full potential. Can you send me a link to one of those tripod heads. Is the wimberly the only option for this. Is there an option for half the price of good quality?
Josh, always love your videos. I get inspiration and validation that I'm not the only crazy bird photographer around. And this time you gave me just what I needed with some images I captured this past weekend with your tip on sharpening eyes with dodge and burn. I just did it and they look so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great Video. I found you from listening to The UA-cam Creators Hub podcast. I'm a birder myself so I love your videos. I've also just started spending my time learning how to make videos of painting and sketching outdoors. This video proves that you can always attempt to make lemonade out of lemons. I have a lot of footage I don't like and a lot to learn. I'll be binging more of your videos this weekend. Thanks for putting cool stuff out into the world.
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard. I just started with video about 7 months ago. the key is to make a bunch of videos. Make mistakes and learn from them. there's a lot of great info out there on how to get better but nothing beats trial and error. Thanks again, 😀
Yup 👍🏼 a couple or useful reminders in this on editing, shame about the posh car, more of the Transit Connect please and where have you hidden your lovely wife?
Hey Josh, great video funny I thought of suggesting how you go through your process. There is nothing like the feeling of rain running down the back of your neck to inspire you. Also your microphone dead cat looked more like a dead rat. I made a small cover for mine that works pretty well. Greg
Hi Josh and greetings from Spokane. First time commenting but I've been following along now for a couple months and really enjoy your content. I think the review of the R5 was the video that brought me here. Looking forward to the next adventure! Have a great weekend!
@@BayouJosh You should, I would love to see that video! I always try to make it out to Higgins Point on Lake Coeur D Alene and I usually come home with a couple keepers! Easy for me though, short drive.
Wow, Josh. The golden eye against the rain is sooooo striking. "The Flap" is a wonderful image - great edit. I also quite enjoyed the ducks in flight shots. You definitely pulled some treasure from that short, wet session. (And yeah - culling images is THE WORST)
Well Josh your problems with the autofocus is coming to an end! You better get in line for one of those AWESOME NEW Z9's. I am going to get myself one as soon as the stock fills up a bit. I will sell my Z62 and my Z7 to grab one then I will buy a Z6 for just video as a 2nd camera.. CAN'T WAIT!!!
@@BayouJosh your almost at 7k BTW. Once you hit 10k it will take on a life if it’s own and the 100k will def be here within a year!! I’m glad you hung in there with Nikon. I know it was tough to not follow the crowd jumping ship for the shinny new eye autofocus but it’s here now. And the FTZ2 will work with your great 600mm f4. I think once you get the subs up and you start making some loot you should set a goal to pay for your new 600mm f4 S-Line lens with proceeds from your channel & Merch. It will come!! Great vids like always Josh!
Really enjoyed this, great to see that not all of your images are spot on, just like many of mine LOL. You did really well given the conditions. Thanks so much for your time and effort
I definitely look at paintings up close. And I’m surprised when people say they don’t. If something is on your wall you’ll definitely be looking at it fairly closely at times. And that’s often where the magic lies, and the difference between mediocre and great work.
So while I was on the porçh trying to catch waxwings; you were at Wilson's? Great workflow! I really learned alot. Thanks you Josh for loving the little things in Idaho as much as I do.💛
The Z9 is out and I haven't seen a single "omg this is so f*cking awesome" image been taken with it yet! So yes, every equipment has their flaws. But what you did is something what most of the Nikon fanboys wouldn't do and that's standing against mother nature (rain) and at least trying to take something out of it, and here we are. Watching your video where you show that anything's possible, just if you want to proceed with it and do something! Great video, informative and educational, and of course well done as always! Give Katie a hug and let's keep in touch.
What? Nikon "fanboys" don't shoot in bad weather? Ridiculous statement. Morten Hilmer is not a Nikon fan favorite because of his affinity for shooting in perfect conditions.
Just started watching your video. The key thing you said was you brought camera and lens used. I have a Canon rebel 5t along kit lens. I like photography birds, and have felt need to get longer lens to reach those birds or wildlife. What I thought about sigma 150-600mm lens but you have talked about prime lens. I do understand the prime lens does provide quality images. What do you suggest? The other thing, I have been thinking is gimbal for my tripod and to set it on the ground, get low.
Great video as always. But it seems cumbersome to only use the mouse. You really should take your time once in a while to learn shortcuts and get it a happit to use them. I promise you it will fasten the workflow. Have one hand on the mouse and the other ready at the keyboard. It will also, I believe, free up a little brain processor time to the creative part the brain :) I especially noticed the many many times you click Done after each setting instead of pressing Enter - Do that with you right hand as it is right next to the Enter key. Also you did a right click to find the cumbersomely found the "Paste from previous" when there is a big button for that in the buttom right - as I think of it I don't know the shortcut for that :) Cheers :)
I seriously need to take more time and learn that program. I go into it with a little vision only to get frustrated by the process. You would cringe watching me in premiere Pro.
I have never touched up bird's eyes or any eyes before, will try next time. Just wonder what editing functions you often used at the beginning to determine if a picture is good to keep. Typically I would play with sharpness, denoise, dehaze, contrast and vary light/dark to quickly see if further editing could provide acceptable result. What else would the professional do to their photos?
Great question. I must admit, I only pay super close attention to images I really feel good about. The noise slider is a big one for me. sharpness is usually made in the camera and lens (technique). if I try and sharpen a blurry image in post it typically means I'm sharpening blurry pixels. Noise however can be mitigated or introduced in post with little problem. I'll pull noise out of the backgrounds and put it back into the subject to get detail back. I think I do highlight this in one of my first 2 or three videos.
I can certainly take it or leave it. It would be nice if I just took the pictures and handed it off to someone else. even more so with video. so time consuming.
Hello Josh Can u make video on how to use tripod during shared gypsy safari in forest. Here in india there is many tiger national parks n govt provides facility of safari in gypsy (brand of vehicle) where 4 to 6 photographers share the vehicle
Really interested in the preset in LR you developed for noise.Any chance you can share the settings? I make my own presets for a lot of things but haven't come up with one for noise that seems to help much.
I only focus on the noise when it’s an image I want to keep and it has more than ISO 1600. I use a select subject mask. I invert the mask so it only focuses on the background. Then I raise the noise bar to the right. You can go back to my most recent Lightroom video that was posted a couple of weeks ago and it walks through that technique.
As suggested, let's sit down Josh and review some images! You never use tools like DXO Pure Raw in your workflow? (if that's called work, you are right...)
I really don’t have use for those other programs. I don’t sell images and I don’t see this as a job. It’s simply a hobby. If I like an image and I want to spend a little more time on it and print it for myself, I may export it into another program but that rarely ever happens.
Hi Friends, As always, thank you for the kind comments. I really enjoy reading through them and hearing what you have to say. I'm out the next few days putting together another video so forgive me if I don't get back to you soon. You have a great weekend.
This film is spot on. It captures the reality of wildlife photography beautifully.
"What the hell was I thinking when I snapped these shots?" I'm pretty sure we all have that same thought, lol. Another great video!
That has been the sentiment on many occasions. I struggle with showing restraint at times. 🙂
Soaking wet....now that's dedication right there. We shall call it "Extreme Birding."
Excellent voice over, plus music at proper level. Professional script writing too.
Thank you my friend
Bad day of bird photography is still better than a good day at work!! Thanks for taking us with you on your journeys Josh.
So True Jamie. Thanks for tagging along. 😀
I love watching your video as much as you love watching the birds and more than that, I love you commentary /story.
Thank you my friend. I really do appreciate that.
Cheers Josh ... thanks for sharing your time and thoughts.
Dig the gravelly voice and soothing instrumental music 😊
What a great story! And , you’re not alone. Watched most all your videos can’t wait for the next ones. Keep it coming!!
Love the honesty and thoughts behind what you do. Very enjoyable.
Thank you so much Brian.
Love seeing your workflow. Sometimes those less than ideal days yield incredible results and sometimes not, but we never know unless we go right?
Indeed. 90% of life is showing up.
Great sharing My Frined
good
This is excellent video yet again & thanks for some much help
Great video. Love watching your stuff. I need your motivation. Lol.
Great video about something we all experience, crappy images, crappy weather and alot of images to delete. Although good equipment. I also like your style of narrating, calm and humorius. I liked and subscribed. 👍🏻🇸🇪
Thank you my friend. welcome aboard. 😃
As always a great video, I love your narration. Feels like I can connect with you, your work and the pain, faliure, success. you come accross. Keep up the good work.
Thank you my friend. I really appreciate that.
6:46 That what I experience, all that back breaking work, lack of sleep to get up early, all the fuel then I get home just to delete all of my photos! You just know when you have got the shot, your instantly drawn to that picture even right after you have snapped it. But some days that picture never comes
That is very familiar
An educational and inspirational video, thank you. The pictures are great. If you ever come to Costa Rica you’d have lots of rainy days but so many animals to photograph, especially in the Tortuguero area, where I had the opportunity to take good pics. You need to go on a boat at around 5:30 in the morning, it’s definitely worth it.
Maybe one day! I'd love that.
Mann... You are gonna Love Z9, the Bird AF was so so snappy, After watching Morten Hilmers video..even i preordered one
its on order
Your videos relaxes my anxiety LOL
I feel the same way. His voice is very relaxing to me. I’m lucky I get to hear it a lot. 😀
@@buttonlover86 👋🏼 KATIE!

"Proving once again that you can take really crappy pictures with good equipment" Love it Josh, been there many times! Very interesting to see the work flow process. Another great video.
Thank you Craig. I just want some of these newer guys to understand that it's not typically world class results straight out of these camera. it takes a lot of work sometimes to get decent images.
love your 'work'

Ducks in the rain. Good that someone did that for me. Thank you Josh. 😄
Discovered your channel yesterday and I like everything about it. Reminds me of.... me.
I'm just getting these thoughts out of my head into the world. thanks brother
thank you!
Great video Josh, First time subscriber here, After seeing you and Vahagan and blue !! Keep it up
Awesome! Thank you James. I appreciate it.
“Sitting in the rain watching ducks is great.” Probably my favorite quote from you thus far.
Isn't it wonderful?
New subscriber here.. man your videos are really something else. Great philosophy on shooting. It's very motivating and I can't wait to dive back into birds again.
Wow! thank you so much AJ. Go get those birds. So fun.
Thank you.

WONDERFUL. love the voice over as usual. reminds me of martin sheen's voice overs in apocalypse now
Awe, thanks man.

It's so nice to watch your videos before sleep, so peaceful ☺️
Лайк за отвагу и мужество 😀
WOW
Beautiful photos josh. Sometimes I use the rain to make an excuse not to go out. I learned something today🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Feel your pain with the weather at the moment here in Scotland
Great story as always!
I had hoped you got to try ad test the Nikon Z9.
You and me both!
@@BayouJosh I hope @NikonUSA sends you one.
Good video, looks like we might benefit from a Z9 for the eye AF. :)
Hope so!

In wet weather and snow I have a 5ft by 2ft piece of closed cell foam I bring along to lay on. Makes it a little less miserable.
I love being miserable though! 😅
@@BayouJosh I can be slightly less miserable for longer, you can be miserable for a shorter time. That's a wash but my cleanup will be easier.

I strugle to with the editing... some times I took 500 picks just for one shoot... you describe all I think when I in front of my mac....
I have never touched up bird's eyes or any eyes before, will try next time. Just wonder what editing functions you often used at the beginning to determine if a picture is good to keep. Typically I would play with sharpness, denoise, dehaze, contrast and vary light/dark to quickly see if further editing could provide acceptable result.

Great question. I must admit, I only pay super close attention to images I really feel good about. The noise slider is a big one for me. sharpness is usually made in the camera and lens (technique). if I try and sharpen a blurry image in post it typically means I'm sharpening blurry pixels.

Just wait till you get the Z9. You will take sooooo many images that you will NEVER get away from the computer. 👍
The thought of that scares me.
Great video as always. I’ve got to know what viewfinder eye cup is that on the Z?
Oh yeah, I’ll get to a point where I can send you a link to that. I got it off of Amazon. It was like $12. Love it!
Even after heavy cropping the images still look nice. Has that ever been a problem in terms of resolution?
24mp is plenty. I always want more though. Hell, I want 100mp.
Josh, very enjoyable, love shooting waterfowl. Who's lens and camera cover were you using? Thanks
Thanks Joe. Lenscoat.

Im terrible sorry for the question, but what do you do with whole of this beautiful photos? I mean - is it hobby? Or for a living?
Just a hobby. I post them on UA-cam and Instagram. that is about it.

I can certainly take it or leave it. It would be nice if I just took the pictures and handed it off to someone else. even more so with video. so time consuming.
