- Bird Photography in the rain can really improve your images! In this wildlife photography vlog, I put all my waterproof gear on and head out to capture some birds. Really trying to get those long streaks of rain with some longer shutter speeds.

I'm originally from Norway, but I have lived in Scotland since I studied wildlife biology a long time ago. In Scotland, I’ve worked as an ecologist and occasionally still do some freelance ornithology work. I have a passion for the natural world and I believe it’s our duty to keep as much wildlife and ecosystems alive for ourselves, for future generations and for nature's own sake.
Combining my passion for wildlife with an obsession for photography has been my ultimate pursuit for the last couple of years and I’m enjoying the journey more every day.

Good morning...even with wet weather you still manage to get some awesome images. Have a great day, a great week and stay safe. Cheers.
Thank you very much Michael :)
Thank you for making this video. It's nice to experience a bird photographer on a frustrating day. Most of my days are that way. To know you get out there and try, and have good days too along the way, it tells a better story of what birding is like. I always love your videos.
Thanks a lot 🙂
A rare and wonderful thing......a soaking for a good cause! Beautiful Espen, thank you.
😅💦 Thanks Ian!
There is definitely something to be said about photographing birds in the rain and you have captured some amazing rain bird shots. A great way of becoming more creative in ones images. As always Thank you for taking us on your wildlife adventures.
Wow Espen
If anything have to be impressed with your dedication to be out in the rain. Four hours is a good innings. The stoat would have been the highlight for me, how amazing to see it, no matter how brief.
I go out in the dark, in the rain to record frogs and just love it. You must be pleased just to have been out in nature to see so many wonderful things.
As usual look forward to the next.
Thank you Euge :) One day I'll get that stoat! Going out in the dark for frogs? That's commitment! I'd like to do something like that in a rain forest one day :)
hey Espen, I appreciate your production value in this. really made me feel like I was there with you. I'm recently getting into wildlife videography & your content seems like it'll have lots of useful information.
Thank you very much Rob, really appreciate it :)
Hi Espen ! Amazing photography along with the video. I am delighted. Hope to see many more.
Thank you very much Dipon :)
Productions have a good day ideas 😊
Brilliant vlog mate. Keep them coming.
Beautiful image of the peregrine. I do miss rain here in the South and you know how tough summer is here. You experienced it a year ago. Keep well mate!
Thanks Marcos! Hoping to go back soon :)
Nice work Espen , the rain sure adds to the whole vibe ;)
Thanks!
A really interesting video! - Thanks for sharing so wonderfull videos!!! Best regards, Rolf
Thank you Rolf :)
Beautiful images. I much admire your calm, clear and informative approach to your work. Tremendous patience and the rare ability to capture images, which say so much about your unique skill and the enormous potential Olympus cameras and lenses allow the wildlife photographer. I
Thank you very much Westron, really appreciate it :)
Well done Espen. I too like photographing in rain (and snow).
The images that you did create are very nice especially the Peregrine. Although we all want to getting closer at times, I believe that habitat shots really have their place as well.
Thank you Stephen :) I definitely appreciate a bit different images like that
Your content inspires me alot to work harder
Thank you Samson :)
Great video once again, I really like those shots where you can really see the environment the bird is living. And as far as I know there isn't big difference between mk2 and mk3 what comes to weather protection, they are both one the best ones out there in that rating.
Thank you Kalle! That's good to know, I thought I'd read somewhere that mk2 wasn't as good as the newer editions.
Making me homesick
Thanks for this one. The best wildlife photographs are the ones that tell a story and getting out in the weather is an excellent way to accomplish that. I appreciate these pictures much more than the "ID" shots you see from many photographers. My ultimate goal is to take pictures that lead to more understanding of the subject and this video certainly does that. One of the first things I was taught was to start taking pictures when things got miserable, not only are they more meaningful but they are often better than the ones taken in perfect conditions. The amount of work that goes into making these videos is not lost on me. Setting up shots of yourself taking pictures, B roll, and narration are difficult and time consuming even in the best of conditions, doing it in the pouring rain, driving snow, or swarming bugs is a true labor of love.
Thank you very much, means a lot :)
I'll trade you some of that rain and lush green goodness for 100 degree weather, 330 days of sunshine, no humidity, tons of sand, and cacti, lol. I think it's rained here in sw New Mexico maybe twice in the last 4 months, and both times for only 5 mins. Great episode!
🤣 I'd take that, but probably just for a few days. I don't think I'm made for that kind of heat!
great video and nice shots
Thank you :)
Skanky conditions there Espen!! Well done for sticking with it, loved the Peregrine shot👍🏼📷👌
Thank you very much Simon :)
Now that’s dedication for you to be out in the pouring rain pls keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Michael :)
Really Lovely Video, Beautiful photos, I must agree I love sitting in my hide waiting for the birds when it's raining, we don't get as much rain like Scotland, here in Norfolk, but Norfolk is great for wildlife. Enjoying Your Videos Many Thanks For sharing.
Thank you Paul! I'd take a bit less rain ;)
very nice shot
Here in the UK it pays to be able to go out in all weathers especially true for Scotland. Great video! Wind speeds stopped play today!!
Thank you :)
Very nice pictures 👍
Thank you :)
Wow.. sir.. once again love your dedication with the Photography even in rain.. those are awesome clicks. However missing your birds closeup shots with Canon gear
Thank you Karthick :) I actually have a longer reach with my Olympus gear, but I often prefer to shoot smaller in the frame.
Hi Espen, another very nice episode well produced. i have only recently 'discovered ' your channel and am still catching up. I find your style very relaxed and enjoyable to watch. Its also encouraging to others to see the efforts you put in and still share your enthusiasm. One question if I may however and and at the risk of repeating previous viewers , can I assume you were still using the M50 for the video and if so what weather protection did you need to use for it in the good Scottish weather today. Cheers
Thank you very much John! Yes, I'm still using the M50 for the vlog. I didn't use anything to protect it. I just used it in short bursts. It's stopped on me before when getting wet, I should probably try to cover it up more.
Well done mate those were tough conditions for electronic gear as well as Humans
Thanks Colin :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like the drone footage additions lately. Nice touches to better show locations. I too like going out in inclement weather - feel it always adds something and water really is great to accentuate color, texture, reflections. I also appreciate you showing the process and that some days, probably like most you don’t get a lot, but it’s but what it’s about is going through the process. Thanks again. I recently rented an EM1 iii and the 300mm and the 12-100mm while on a trip. It was great. Despite all the Olympus questions, I still am planning on a switch to their system as it really suits what I like to do in terms of portability, durability and quality. I really only felt that I touched the surface as to it’s capabilities though. Have you done much with creating your own custom AF areas? Be Well.
Thank you very much for that David! Same for me regarding the portability of the system, I just got my favourite image of a red deer the other day when climbing a mountain. Taking my gear with me on such a hike is almost a no brainer when it's as light as it is :) Not really explored the custom AF areas no, I tend to just use one in the middle. I still have lots of exploring to do when it comes to the customisation of it.
Great experiance to see the stoat! Can I ask why you decided to go for the em1 ii over the em1 iii? I am probably going to switch to Olympus soon.
Thanks Ben :) Just financial, I spent more money on the 300mm f4. I'll hopefully be able to upgrade soon and use the em1ii for vlogging and as a backup. Not sure if I'll go for em1x or em1iii though. Hopefully, the bird tracking that's announced for the em1x will come out for both eventually.
Good stuff Espen, whatever you are filming on looks great from your previous videos, what camera for your videos? I just added a bird feeder to my backyard and am waiting for the birds to find it. Waiting on my patio with my EM1X and 300mm f4 pro :)
Nice! Thanks, I use Canon M50 for wide-angle and the em1ii for closeups of wildlife.
👍
Hi Espen, why do you protect the camera and lens from the rain? don't you use Olympus em1-2 and 300 f4? are sealed. Greetings.
Yeah, I actually thought the weather sealing wasn't as good on the em1ii as on the newer bodies. Still, though it's also a bit of a habit :)
Are Spotted Flycatcher still doing quite well in Scotland? Here in south west England they get rarer every year sadly.
Good question, I see a lot of them where I am, but not sure how they're doing over Scotland as a whole though.
May I know sir, which camera you have used to shoot the video? It is super sharp and quality is just amazing. Thanks for sharing the video. Just made my day...
Thank you very much Sarvesh :) I use Canon M50 for wide-angle vlog stuff and the Olympus em1ii for wildlife closeups.
@@EspenHelland Thank you so much for the reply...
Hi Espen, I enjoy your video’s, you share the same problems and challenges as many of us do. You seem to clip pictures from your video’s, if this is so would you show us how you do it, that would be a great help.
I do hope you get the opportunity to review the 150 400 before they come on for sale. I have my order in but am aware I will almost have to buy blind. My supplier will let me use it just outside his shop in Harrogate, however that’s not too good when deciding whether or buy one there and then. I can’t blame him, I wouldn’t let a customer use an expensive item in the field either. Regards Roger
I’m sure you’ve made a good buy, from what I hear it’s amazing! I switch from taking video to taking photos, don’t think they’d be very good quality photos if I tried to clip them.
In general, do you think that birds are less active in the rain?
Yes it seems like a lot of them are.
amazing. Which music is it?
It’s from epidemicsound, sorry can’t remember the artist.
Trouble with little birds is that they warn each other of possible predators and walking about can easily scare them away. As long as you enjoy what you do, even in the rain, why stop?
What rain cover is that? :)
It should be on my gear page: www.espenhelland.com/gear
@@EspenHelland Thanks I’ll check it out! 👍
Hello Espen,
Thank you "for taking one for the community".😹 you reign over other birding photographers! (too much? I suggest viewing the resultant photography...) "Stupendous!" comes to mind. Well done, Espen...👏!
I do have one question... DOF, ... Did you measure it with a micrometer? No f's, ISO, mms.
Ps: I suppose a photo of the birds wiping their faces with a handkerchief was too much of an ask? 😹
Be well, Espen!
