Thanks for the video, I don't know much about photography and am trying to choose a camera. Trying to decide between a dslr and mirrorless but was confused by some numbers I was reading about. 

[binarygraphite]

@jimtube84 You're welcome. I hope the video helped clear up the numbers for you; feel free to ask questions if you'd like.

Wow man, so many numbers to take in. Will have to watch this again when sober! Thanks mate

[binarygraphite]

@snake3021 lol Awesome!

I wonder If he can juggle lenses.

Hmmmm.....

[jimtube84]

@binarygraphite It was the crop factor / focal length multiplier. Thanks for the video :)

@roshraw Ahh, you were probably getting some blown highlights / overexposure. In really tricky situations like that, perhaps consider HDRI and take about 5 - 7 exposures starting from heavily underexposed to highly overexposed, and then combine the shots in Photoshop for example.

[roshraw]

@binarygraphite it was a tricky place there was light shafts running through it. so each time i bump up the iso the light gets over (i dont know what it is called)

[binarygraphite]

@roshraw Another useful tool for wildlife shooting is a monopod; could help stabilize your shots and they're quite portable and light to carry around. If it's darker, did you bump up your ISO to say 800 or 1,600? Also open the aperture wide; you might loose some depth of field but it can help increase shutter speed.

@binarygraphite thanks man. i was trying to take pictures in low light today , i did get a few images but as soon as the subject moved image shakes like crazy.

[binarygraphite]

@roshraw Personally I do both because I usually have my E-3 and E-P2 with me. So the E-3 might have a tele-lens and the E-P2 a wide angle one. But in some cases I will change to a different lens if I believe I could take a better shot with another one for a particular scene.
