Very good! Like your workflow and choice of nature style

That’s great advice to photograph surroundings

Amazing tips. God bless

Wonderful shots,beautiful nature thanks for sharing

As someone that is in the same position as you were; brand new to photography and no experience, these tips are invaluable! I had the exact problem of feeling like I wasn't close enough. I cannot wait to try some farther away shots!

You are a beautiful human being.

You're a true leader.

Ciao sei italiana?

Very scientific. A good objective overview. Also quite concerning. How do these data relate to female photographers in other fields?

I quit my job as a scientist when I was about 33 (20 years ago), moved to Spain and started to sell my photos. Mainly flowers (I like gardening) but also other wildlife, landscape and local street photography. I lived in the Sierra Nevada mountains for about three years. My life was all photography and I loved it. Unfortunately I'm not very good at making money that way but the experience was fantastic. Your story is amazing. I wish you all the best. I have had a hiatus in my photography for the last few years. Your journey has helped re-motivate my own passion for photography and nature.

Love the sheeps relaxing next to the bench :-)

Wonderful shots of a wonderful trip, Chiara! Thanks so much for letting me tag along!

Awesome video

Excellent video 👏

Another great adventure, Chiara!!! Yes, I would definitely visit Helgoland!!!

Bellissimo! complimenti Chiara!!

The Northern gannets are amazing, and it was cool to see them up close next to their chicks. You really captured the beauty of Helgoland. Looking forward to more of your vlogs!

That look like a wounderful experience my friend! I love all of the amazing photos that you were able to capture!!!👍👍👍

Helgoland is such a great place for nature lovers and photographers! I’ve been there twice for several days years ago (first time still with an analog SLR). And just last Saturday I was there on a day trip with my family. Was able to get one or two really nice pictures even with these limited conditions. Definitely need to come back for a couple of days!

Superb video! I watched it with curiosity! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪

Would you travel to this place if you could? Let me know in the comments! Also this is the first episode of a vlog series. Next episodes will cover the other bird species of Helgoland, and a third one will be about the neighbouring island. Looking forward to hear your thoughts and feedback about this vlog style so I can fine tune for the next episodes! :)

Let me help you with the English grammar: "What I wished that I had known when I first started photographing birds".

This is astupid video!! If you can't get a good shot with a 600mm, you should stop pretending to be a photographer.

My photos are Wayyyyyy netter and have always been shot between 12am and 4pm!!!

You people need to STOP talking about "harsh" light! There is no such thing!! I never ever ever went out during the "golden hour" or the "early Light" to shoot nature/light/ landscape!! Your PROFESSIONAL catheter can be set while you shoot to negate the lighting conditions!! If you can't do that, you are not a professional. So regurgitating stupidities you hear on RUclips and other social media! You are wrong!!

AGAIN... Why are there so few Women in Wildlife Photography? Because THERE MORE MEN THAT LIKE MORE THE WILDLIVE PHOTOGRAPHY THAN THE WOMEN, That all. For the same reason that there more women models than men model in Industry. DAHHHH!!!

Why are there so few Women in Wildlife Photography? For the same reason that there are many fewer women in high-risk jobs such as the military, collection of toxic materials (hazardous waste), deep-sea ocean fishermen and construction. I think that you presents a "WOKE" themes instead that talking about how to develop photography skills . Please, because why you have to bring up these topics? you are very unprofessional. I don't even see your content you anymore, much less I'll not subscribe to your channel. Find "WOKE" women for your cause and subscribe them so you continue to have a low rating. And please makeup because is part of be real woman!!! 🤢🤢🤢

Noted, I’ll keep my Sony 200-600 as backup. Or my FD 500mm, or sigma 150-600.

Great video Chiara. I can empathise with many of the perspectives you share. While my country, India, has a lot of women wildlife photographers, the representation is still quite poor. Many practical reasons that I see. * Wildlife travel is expensive. And if there aren't an even number of women on group tour, it can be hard for a woman to even afford accessing a destination. * Many of the destinations that I visit don't have proper restrooms. It's something men take for granted, but it makes the simple act of a quick bio break hard for women. Even famous places like the Maasai Mara don't have any restrooms in the park. This aside, men's groups tend to be rather exclusive, even if it's unintentional. The last trip I did, for example, was with an all male group of friends. There's a lot to fix in our community, and I'm glad you bring up this topic. And if it helps to do my bit, please let me know if you're keen to visit India or Africa and if I can assist you in any way. www.sumeetmoghe.com

Good to hear you got it fixed. I recently fell on my 500mm lens and there is something weird going on with the autofocus. Needs to be fixed soon... 😅

I bought my Sony A6400 with the Kit Lens, because i wanted to see what focal lengh i like for a prime lens :D After a week, my lens stopped working.. completely. I dosent wanted to zoom, focus.. my Camera says that theres no Lens on or a Lens that does not supported ): very weird because i had the camera 2 hours before it breaks on, and there it worked all fine.. i didnt drop the camera, or it didnt get wet or something. I clean it, camera on and off, new batteries. I tried everything i can /: I was so sad xD Very strange but i knew i had support o: Got my money back, so i will buy a new one and hope, it didnt happen to me again xD *fingers cross*

I used to live in Holland. Love Belgians. Such wonderful people. I also use a floating blind in the US.

I know how you feel about seeing an animal for the first time and then seeing them so very often. It does seem strange. I wish you well and look forward to your next video. I know that you will work things out.

Are you still without a 9-5 traditional job? Ive been thinking of taking the leap to pro as well. I have a family, so ots a bit more complicated.

The exact same thing happened to me some years ago with my EF100-400 (original version). One minute working...the next the lens shuddered and would not auto focus. I replaced it with version 2.

How much did it cost to get your lens fixed?

would you like to be a guest on my channel livestream ? one of my regulars is from germany .

Enjoying your content Chiara, thank you! Would it be possible to upload videos with a higher bitrate and less compression? There are a lot of artifacts when watching on a bigger screen such as TV

We're glad our team was able to get you back on the road!

I'm birding in Québec city, my local birding path is along the Saint-Charles river, where they've planted the river banks very nicely! Springtime brings us a large variety of little migratory birds, ducks, cormorants, even herons.

Great to see you back we've missed you,i was photographing the northern lights few months ago near the sea and when i picked my bag up I'd forgotten to zip it and one of my lenses fell out rolled down the steps into the sea.went back in the morning when the tide had gone out but never found it.the joys of photography.😂😂

In an attempt to avoid breakage, I avoid buying lenses with motors.

❤

Great to see you back Chiara look foreword for your next video.

Great to hear the lens repair went well! Good luck with your new adventures. Can't wait to hear your updates!

Well done on your life's journey.. jealous... it must be awesome going to new destinations doing what you do.well done
