      Tony & Chelsea Northrup 20 seconds in he talks about his lens and I don't see it in the list. Also I think the converter is missing from the list. Am I misunderstanding what he is saying? I'll listen again and search comments... thanks again for another great video...

    The main reason I wear a bit of camo is to aid in making myself hidden from "other people" when shooting in the field. Birds will see you regardless, and though some are elusive such as kingfishers, many other species just don't care how close you get. But if you are in an area where you want exclusive shots, and there is other people around, the camo can help you blend in so they can't see you, and come stomping over to ruin your shots.

    • @kristoferrowe8888
      @kristoferrowe8888 9 лет назад +10

      I couldn't agree more! When people ask me I say... 1 Birds still see me, 2 Hopefully people don't so I can avoid dumb questions, and 3 camo is made for hunting so it is made for the elements and keeps you warm/cool as needed and holds up to abuse...

  • @TonyAndChelsea
    @TonyAndChelsea  10 лет назад +54

    ***** A 2X teleconverter on your 70-200 f/2.8 will give you the best images of faraway subjects.

    • @Pileot
      @Pileot 10 лет назад +2

      I find the 2x TCs reduce the image quality too much for my likings. there is a WORLD of difference between the Canon 2x II and III but the Mk III just costs too much and the other 2x options your usually better cropping the image.
      The 1.4x is another story, Canon Mk II or Tamron SP (not the black F MC4 one) have great optics and I never worry about putting one behind my lenses.

    • @jlwasmer
      @jlwasmer 10 лет назад

      So, considering I already have the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, how worse would it be with an EF 2x III converter VS the 400mm f/5.6L Chelsea is using?

    • @Pileot
      @Pileot 10 лет назад

      I don't know from experience because it's too rich for me but most reports online say the 70-200 2.8 II + 2x III have about the same IQ as the 100-400.

    You could use a TC with your existing lens, or pick up a 400mm f/5.6, depending on your budget. For a complete overview of lens buying considerations, read my Photography Buying Guide (available using the 'worldwide' link in the description).

    I have to say i love the way you all are so down to earth. It almost seems anybody can approach you all to ask questions or to simply ask if one can hang out with you folks to just watch and learn. Like the fact you have all shared your experiences (good and bad ones) that yall havr learned through the years. Thanks so much for all the info. Its REALLY helpful. Its funny to hear you all talk about the tripods/monopods. I have a nikon ed is 300mm not af. And i have to shoot it in manual mode. Its driving me bonkers to figure out what iso and shutter speeds i should be using when shooting a bird in action or sitting on a tree under the shade. Watching this video has now made me want to sell my lens and buy a 300mm af lens. Just too much of a hassle with the one i have. Anywhoodles, thank you all for this video

Not only did I get a lot of valuable info along with comparisons and advantages and disadvs along with it, but also was a very lively discussion with the bonus of hearing out three people's views at the same time. Thank you Tony!
    ...and I have to add, Chelsea is amazing and she looks and sounds so humble and so are you Tony, even with all your immense photography knowledge and expertise, I really like that with you guys.

    Hi, Abdou. I put a video out just a couple of weeks ago that compared the 70D and the 7D for wildlife, so check that out. Also, get my Photography Buying Guide (using the third link in the description, the one with the coupon code) for detailed information about lenses and other wildlife gear. It'll save you hundreds, at least.

    For hand holding when shooting birds I use the 300mm PF with 1.4x on the D500 with grip. I love that combination ... much less weight and very easy to control than my 200-400 f/4. By the way the buttons on the grip still work without the battery installed if you really need to reduce the weight - it uses the battery in the camera.

    i saw this video back in 2018 and have been using the dual shoulder strap harness, that Kristofer Rowe is wearing, ever since. Best system yet for walking around carrying a heavy camera and lens. Zero strain on the neck and the camera and lens doesn't swing back and forth at your side like a single strap does. Having two attachment points also gives me peace of mind.

    Learnt a lot from your down to earth approach to wildlife photography videos. My gear is very basic nikon d5600 with a sigma 70-300mm as my budget is tight. Getting fairly decent with your advice and settings. Great work keeps it up

    I'll add that part of your challenge was probably not having a true optical viewfinder. The latest mirrorless viewfinders are fast, but that tiny bit of latency still makes it MUCH harder to use a telephoto lens, in my experience. Wildlife is one of the few subjects where I still soundly recommend SLRs over the mirrorless brothers.

    every bit of this video is great EXCEPT the one line about camo making you look like "a murderer or a hunter." Are they trying to take a shot at hunters?

    For Canon beginners I'd highly recommend the Canon 400mm f5.6. Good quality, light and much more affordable than a bigger lens. You can also add an extender, although you will only be able to use centre focus points with it.

    Tony, you are one of the best on-camera folks I've ever seen talking about nature shooting. You're comfortable, smart and easy2like. The three of you do a great job in this video...OK, Chris looks kinda uncomfortable @ times, but he is one sharp dude, too. Chlelsea is obviously skilled and cute2boot. Good stuff, period.

    I"ve recently got myself a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM lens. I want to go to the Danube delta to try it on the birds there with a 2x teleconverter.

  • @hugostj
    @hugostj 9 лет назад

    I really like this video.. Im just starting to get more serious into wildlife and bird photography.. My budget is low so I start off with a Nikon D3300 and a Tamron AF DI 70-300/4-5.6 VC lens.. Maybe not at the high end, but it will get me going, and it can teach me a lot

  • @TonyAndChelsea
    @TonyAndChelsea  11 лет назад

    Hi, Vicky. At that price point, that lens is your best bet. Enjoy!
