My condolences for the loss of your brother. Robins are indeed messengers. Beautiful images. Love your landscape work especially in the woods so it came as no surprise that these images were awesome. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
So sorry for your loss Chris. Really nice job with that little robin. Nice bokeh on that one, super helpful you could get so close with a more open aperture. Hope it was a therapeutic experience. Stay strong! 🤜🤛
Hi Chris, great upload, sorry to hear about your brother, lost my daughter last year and have a small garden on my balcony with a small robin statue as she used to love feeding them! for a long time my camera 7D with 100-400mm lens was my go to wildlife setup. with regards to your approach today at the bird tables, i would have personally stayed out of their living room if you get my drift and not chasing them around, I tend to pick a spot with tripod (optional) which helps to create very little movement in varying all angles, watch for a while and see how they approach the different tables/feeders etc you get to know their movements, I think the light wasnt ideal but then wildlife photography has many many challenges to overcome, have a visit to many of the WWT where the wildlife are somewhat used to people walking around. I do take a scrim scarf to sometimes chuck over my head just to break up the outline and yes i have stayed still many a time in a bush etc. look forward to the next one dont give up, love your videos.
Thanks for the tips. I’m going to try this again at some point - probably when I pick up a longer lens. I had a feeling chasing them was a bad idea but I just didn’t think it was going to be so hard.
Great video Chris!...My advice as a wildlife photographer to you is to use servo mode on your 7D. Single shot is great for things that don't move,not so much for wildlife. Keep at it!! Cheers!!
Thanks Vince. I realised after the fact I was in the wrong focus mode. Wildlife isn’t something I do much of but I’ve since grabbed a 1D3 and the 100-400 and I have had a lot more success with servo mode. One of thing things you don’t know until you know 🤦🏻♂️
Nice video. Sorry for your loss. Down here in South africa 2020/1 was a difficult year. We lost many loved ones through covid. Cherish the memories till we meet them again
I watched this because I’m thinking of getting the 70-200 to use on my 5D ii so I can do a bit of wildlife photography and I found it very interesting. Sorry to hear about your loss ( a year ago now) I also lost my brother about 16 years ago and still miss him. Time does help though. Thanks for the video.
Looking at picking up an original 7d myself at the moment purely because they are a great bargain to be had - can get a mint example for under £200, iv just sold my bridge camera that iv had for a couple of years after selling some fujifilm gear - the lenses were just too expensive as a hobbyist for me to justify so got a bridge camera but im ready for a larger sensor and want something i can swap out lenses on. I was weighing up the M series stuff which appears to produce some nice images but lacks anything over 200mm ( i know you can adapt lenses but then the little m5/m50 becomes unbalanced). Got a few things in mind either buy the 7d mk2 and a cheaper sigma/tamron 70-300mm lens or buy a 7d and a 70-200 2.8 usm or 100-400 usm, even weighed up an 80d or nikon 7200 but its trying to price in what works!
Hey I've had mine since it came out, and have only used maybe a thousand snaps of the shutter. Your shots have that classic 7D look, and I'm going to pull it back out and start shooting with it a lot. Great vid. I did shoot a video with it and it turned out amazing, looks just like film. I think the low noise is a good thing for this camera , as it gives a real film look. keep up the great work.
Hi Chris new to photography what aperture shutter speed was you using for these recently got a mark iii with the same lens your using. I have dsylexia and struggle with numbers if you could help in anyway I'd appreciate it
Sorry for your loss Chris. Art makes you see the hidden beauty of things and that's what you do with your photography.

So sad for your loss Chris.
Just to let you know your videos are very much appreciated, I love when a new one comes up.
Even the ones with no RP😉
Thank you! Technically the RP was there you was just looking through it 😀
So sorry for your loss Chris. Really nice job with that little robin. Nice bokeh on that one, super helpful you could get so close with a more open aperture. Hope it was a therapeutic experience. Stay strong! 🤜🤛
Thanks Jim. It was good for the soul this one if nothing else.

If you can afford one grab the 100-400mm the MKi version I had was spot on for wildlife! Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Chris, sorry to hear about your loss. Great shots!
Thanks Adem i appreciate that. Thanks for watching 😊🤘🏻
Hello Chris sorry to hear of your loss.Great video with some great photos.👍👍
Thanks Paul. It’s still a bit raw but getting on with it. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Sorry for your lost. But can we all appreciate for your first time. You are doing amazing! Thank you for the video. :) Keep on doing your best!
Thank you!!
I'm a little late here, but really nice. Sorry for your loss, man. I'm the happy owner of a used 7D and I like how you did this.
So sorry for your loss mate. Great video. I had something to learn from you as I also go out to shoot some wildlife on a 70-200mm via the weekend.
Sorry for your loss Chris I enjoy your videos especially as your local .. great photos and video as usual .. stay strong
Thank you that means a lot 🍻
Awesome video! I was just curious if your L Bracket should be mounted on the other side.
It’s force of habit mounting it that way. My other cameras have flip out screens.

just purchased a used 7d Still a usable camera in 2023
If nothing else. I seem to have the wild life vocabulary right. Yer bugger! My most used phrase.
I been using Canon Rebel T100. Thinking of Gettin a 7D used ??? Upgrade ? Same 18mp but 7D seems better camera functions. HELP Please
It depends on what you’d be using the camera for. For this kind of thing then it’s a great option.
Great video Chris...Thanks... Also from your area so know the location well..
Thanks Andrew. Currently in Nut Wood trying to avoid the teenagers 😁 It’s a nice spot Hessle Foreshore it’s just a shame about the wind sometimes.
awesome...great info

Great shots. Very sorry about your brother.
I’ve got the 7D and today I’ve ordered the 70-200mm 😝
How you getting on with it?
Sorry About your brother man. love your video
I appreciate it
Hi Chris, what do you use to write your raw photos? Nice video.
I use Lightroom for the RAW editing Bob.
@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto edit is what I meant yes, thanks for your answer man, and can’t wait for your next day out , respect.
Love the videos mate 👍. Keep up the great work
Thank you Craig. It’s comments like yours that keep me going and what make this so enjoyable. 🍻
Robins 🙂💙
Good job mate, you have another subscriber. All the best. Cheers.
Thanks John I appreciate it mate.
You should visit far ings , near Barton not very far from you
I plan on visiting here at some point.
You got the IS version?
No it wasn’t the IS model.
@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto is it ok without IS? I’m about to pick up one without IS but I’m not sure if it’s possible to get clean pictures without it?
@brunodrakenas9575 keep your shutter speed equal to you focal length and you’ll have sharp handheld photos.
@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto so you always use 1/200 when using this lens?
@brunodrakenas9575 F4, 1/200th and auto ISO of your handheld at the long end.
Great video condolences all the best from Doncaster
Thanks Peter. Was still a little raw when I made that video.
Hi Chris new to photography what aperture shutter speed was you using for these recently got a mark iii with the same lens your using. I have dsylexia and struggle with numbers if you could help in anyway I'd appreciate it
F4 aperture and shutter speed was up around 1/1000
@@ChrisBaitsonPhoto cheers Chris
