I have been working my way through your videos on You Tube & would like to say how much I have enjoyed them. The attention you give to the boys during what can be a nerve racking time gives you credit. I know from my own experience a laid back approach normally gets the photo. I have a 7D & just love it for this sort of work. Well done.
@flecktonesrock sure will... that photo at the end is nice... but I usually use 1/1000+ for such fast birds.... a sunny day does help and a 5d/7d.... I prefer the 7d for the fast 8fps... capture at least twice the moments then... anyway keep them coming helps everyone into this type of photography.
Indeed a nice setup. I shot lots of birds and video's with my 7d and ef 100-400 combo. Search gor Gipukan and you'll find some. P.s. I build my own gimbal head. Works on my tri-and mono manfrotto's :)
@gipukan - Would love to hear about how you built your version of the gimbal head. What it looks like, etc. I like to see people come up with substute ideas for great products that are on the market.
@bbq4smoke Different ISO/shutter settings for perched vs. flight shots. If I have both settings registered in the camera, I can switch between them quickly with a single click of the mode dial switch.
Nice work, most haven't a clue the skill and patients it takes to successfully achieve well rounded wildlife photos. I actually like when I'm able to blow out the background to black mat and pull in the subject. Nice shots, I'm just now starting to use flash more on wildlife. Normally I shoot all manual as well and never unless super bright out do I use flash but it appears to yield nice results. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for allowing us to see your setup for shooting the BlueBirds. Could you please give us a list of the inventory used that day? Thanks
@flecktonesrock Thanks for replying. I was interested in the Better Beamer which I will start researching. I was also interested in the mount that your 7d is attached to. Please tell me what the make/model of it is, and your thoughts (pro's and con's) are of it.
@w1ljmm It's a Manfrotto/Bogen 393 head. They're nice, stable....etc. But they are cumbersome. You can buy it if you want. =) I upgraded to a Gimbal head awhile back.
@flecktonesrock Not bad atall... i have not seen any videos as informative as this... or even being close to this work... thanks a lot for sharing! :) cheers!
Great Video! thanks for the tips I've been trying to shoot birds in flight for a while but never get it quite right, especially for smaller birds. What's attached to your flash? Thanks again.
Great photos, keep up the great work. It would be great to see some more bird and wildlife vids. Hope you manage to get a Wimberley gimble head. I use one and it really helps with large lenses.
I would like to commend you first and formost on what seems your endless amount of patience and love for your youngsters...they'll be looking at these clips when you and I are long gone and their will be good memories....of course I love all the tech talk on photography as well but I'm sure you can appreciate how insignificant the later really is in life...thank you for sharing...
I get weird looks also sometimes when I photograph reflections in puddles showing cityscapes.... People are like 'Why are you photographing a puddle, that's just weird!' Then I show them the image and they are like.... 'Aaaaahh....' And in their mind I'm sure they're still going 'Your still weird dude!' LOL
people said the name of the game is patients, and you got it bro if it wasn't for your kids i assume, you'll be done before anything, great fantastic pics by the way. God bless.
I drop by at times to see if you have any new vids which I always enjoy. I have the same setup minus the 500mm...though that's next on the list. Anyhow, I think your pics speak for themselves and I tip my hat to a great talent. Keep up the great work my friend!
Very impressed. Ii thought it was gonna be another dumb video but was pleasantly surprised. Screw whoever looks at you strange, ppl are really sick. The ones that think photography is a strange hobby are the Wierdos. Awesome pics!!!
How far were u from the perch?One of the best videos I have seen showing a setup enc(others is from Allan Murphy).Keep up the good work.Cant wait to see a version 2 of this....But why did u choose 1/4000 for the pics in the video?1/2500 or so will suffice I have found.By going down u can increase your aperture to get more DOF.Great stuff though.
@Rooivalkable The distance was a little more than the width of the driveway. I had two settings as I stated in the video- one was a shutter speed for flight, faster is better with these little guys, and the other for perched. If I was shooting perched birds with a 1/4000 shutter than it's because I used the wrong setting. The image that one the contest was taken at 1/500 sec at f/4 of a perched bluebird. f/4 was used to keep the neighbors' garage doors from showing through the trees in the BG.
Thanks for replying.With high speed sync u loose alot of range.Thats why I asked what your range was and also to know the Dof(want to etup such perch too...)I understand now why u used F4(to not show the garage door)Would love to see a video of u making setups enc.Would be hugely popular too.Yes from the video I learned u use C1 and C2 custom settings.I tried that but when I dial my knob to C2 for example I loose my setting that was saved,why?I am using a Canon 50D.

@Rooivalkable Yes, you do lose range, but that's where the Better Beamer comes in. I am not sure what problem you're describing. Are you saying the camera won't memorize settings assigned to the C2 function?
@flecktonesrock Yes thats what I meant.When I save custom settings on C2 for example and go to C1 my settings is being reset on C2.Then I have to start all over again.It is really annoying.So my camera actually dont memorize my settings.Whenever I switch to another setting C1 or C2 my camera ''forgets'' what settings was saved.Can u help?
@flecktonesrock I usually select my setting beforehand like I want it to be saved.Then I go to Menu and select Camera User setting and press SET.I select REGISTER.I turn the left wheel to Select my position ex C1 and press SET.A confirmation dialogue appear and I press OK and SET.Now its set.Keep in mind this is like its described in the Canon 50D manual(which I follow)page 186.Easy but when I go from C1 to C2(another custom setting saved)in the field it ''forgets'' what was saved on C2.
@Rooivalkable This is puzzling. Sounds like you're doing everything correctly, as long as you're scrolling down and saving everything to C2 like you are to C1. Sorry, I don't know if you are doing something wrong, or if there is a software glitch. Both seem highly unlikely though.
@FinlandApollo I use E-TTL, but you have to watch it with the better beamer (flash extender) mounted on the flash. I'm frequently using flash eV compensation to harness the flash output.
@flecktonesrock I'm using better beamer too, but often when I use TTL mode, the picture is way too too bright. I usually use -1½ or -2 but it doesn't help. I try to pop the bird out from the wood but the whole wood is white and I can just see the bird, but its almost white too...Advices?
@FinlandApollo Sometimes people forget to switch their flash to hi speed sync. If you don't do this, your shutter is limited to 1/250 of a second, which is too bright for most outdoor applications. In this case, the camera will over expose severely, which is what you described. Set your flash to high speed sync to enable shutter speeds over 1/250 of a second and see if that helps.
Did you have your 7D in manual focus for a few shots? like when they came flying in? Thanks. Views have really jumped since the last time I watched this, Awesome, keep it up.
Nice video! Including the stills after each shutter release was brilliant! Do you have a flickr page? I'd love to see the full session in detail, and your other work too.
@flecktonesrock The reason i like this video so much is because you took some fantastic shots outside your home in the street,but when you post the pictures they look so natural you could of been in the countryside!
You worked hard spent the time waiting and also made sure you had the camera settings spot on with
(C-Modes)etc so when the time came you captured those beautiful images!
You put a lot of thought into those awesome pictures (Grats)....
Thanks for the great vid. I shoot BIFs a lot, and it's always nice to learn from other like-minded enthusiasts! Love your kids too!

Nice video! Including the stills after each shutter release was brilliant! Do you have a flickr page? I'd love to see the full session in detail, and your other work too.

@flecktonesrock The reason i like this video so much is because you took some fantastic shots outside your home in the street,but when you post the pictures they look so natural you could of been in the countryside!
You worked hard spent the time waiting and also made sure you had the camera settings spot on with
(C-Modes)etc so when the time came you captured those beautiful images!
You put a lot of thought into those awesome pictures (Grats)....
