Join me as I take you through my top tips, settings and techniques to get tack-sharp fast action and bird in flight shots. As a professional wildlife photographer, I've learned many lessons along the way and will share them with you: how to set up your camera and lenses, tricks to use in the field, and how to track fast action and birds accurately. I'm joined late in the video by Gavin Hardcastle, a professional landscape photography RUclipsr who goes by the name @Fototripper as we go looking to photograph Puffins in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Here's Gavin's Channel:

And excuse the white wristband…I recently had eye surgery and that’s to advise doctors that I have a gas bubble in my eye!

Birds shooting is an extremely decent hobby! It is about hunting techniques without killing, love for nature and overall good and memorable times.
A special congratulations on the Black Bird video that was selected as a top 15 National Audubon video. Well deserved recognition for all that you give back to us
Thanks!
Very helpful and well articulated👍🏻
You are my favorite teacher for bird photography. thank you for taking your time to create these videos and share all this amazing knowledge with us.
This was incredibly helpful!
Glad you think so!
We live in MI, just below the Upoer Peninsula, on the lake.
The farm land we moved to has a pond that attracts herons, ducks, occasional geese, and frogs galore! An owl or 3, tons of deer herds, coyotes... So far.
There are chickens, laying hens. We are from the desert of southern CA so you can imagine the delight and inspiration with all the growth available to capture here!
My 9 y/o took the most beautiful picture this spring of the sun beaming down on a hiking path in our backyard by the playground. She's a real artist and has an eye for design already.
I'm so thrilled to be here and be learning about how to maximize the potential value of pics of this amazing ecosystem.
Loving your informative, clear, focused video tutorials. The shots you got are the best part!
This one - the shutter speeds, though! Blew my mind! My old Pentax never did anything that fancy. Impressive!
This has been by far my favorite and most helpful wildlife photography youtube channel! Thank you so much for these great tutorials!
Wow, thanks!
I couldn't agree more!
I just found this channel and I totally agree. Thank you for the great videos!!
Il totally agree! Good content, well explained. Thanks for your generosity!
Agree!
I don’t care what anyone said you’re The Man
haha Thanks!
Puffins are the ultimate challenge. I'm glad I perfected my technique on them.
Bro! You're my hero.
Thank you Simon for this great video (and all the other great videos !)
Glad you like them!
This gentleman has a FANTASTIC talent ! He is a wonderful educator and has an uncanny ability to anticipate and answer clearly all the questions that the viewer might have.
Thank you very much Simon . You are helping SO MANY PEOPLE to improve and enjoy their photography.

Cool that you hang out with Gavin. I absolutely love him. He is so funny. I follow him since 3 years now. Many thanks for your really useful hints in this video.
Discovered your channel rather late, but very pleasantly surprised. Many thanks for sharing!
Welcome!
I love all your videos, Simon! Very helpful! The new collaboration with Fototripper was fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
These are good tips for shooting airplanes, and motorsports too.
Bigger objects require being more stopped down but a lot of overlap
A Sports Viewfinder is a great help.
I have been struggling and trying to reinvent the wheel. This is a gold mine of information!
I had no idea puffins were that fast! Thank you for your videos Simon I’m learning a lot and your calm and instructional tone is really nice to listen to.
Great tips!
Awesome tips!
Full of content Simon. Amazing video. Totally mind blowing and illuminating 😍👍
The best and most helpful photographer ever! Thank you simon!
Glad you think so!
@@simon_dentremont you certainly are bud, if I could leave multiple like per video I would my friend
You have the best shots of all the wildlife photographers i have foundation on RUclips
Best contribution to birds phorographers.
Thanks!
Thank you I got a lot out of this video.
Top information every time. And your presentation has improved so much in your newer videos!
I appreciate that!
Excellent video with great tips. Watched the second time from beginning to the end but still found it very interesting.
Awesome, thank you!
What a fantastic video with practical, hands on advice from a *working* photographer. Your tutorials truly are the best. I like to go back and view these older videos. The only thing that I see has changed is the production quality of your later videos. But same great content. Kudos for continuing to improve your video productions. The evolution is inspiring.
Still learning! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise!
This video is fantastic
Best bird photography guide video i have seen in here. Congrats Simon.
Have been photographing birds for quite a few years. Yours are the best instructional videos I've ever come across. When a new birder asks me questions, I refer them to your channel.
Wow, thank you! That’s so kind of you.

@@simon_dentremont Absolutely! My husband and I are far from beginner bird photogs, but continue to learn… or re-learn… from you.
I found your videos a few months ago and they have improved my images tremendously. Your ability to convey the techniques required are on point and easy to follow. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for the video , every detail was most needed❤
Glad you liked it!!
It's always a treat when a new Simon d'Entremont video comes out! You're a great teacher.
Wow, thanks Hugh!
Once again, Simon delivers everything you wanted and needed to know. No flitting about, just a super dense and extremely organized explanation of how, why, and when to use all these settings, techniques, and tips. Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel more confident to get back out there and take more amazing shots.
The biggest factor for me is that you explain why you're using these techniques and how they help you. Even for someone with budget gear, this gives me the theory for why you're doing what you do and it has helped my photography immensely even though I only have a Panasonic G85 with an adapted Sigma 150-600 lens.
Also, as usual, you thoroughly delivered at the end with your shots. Clearly, your techniques work and the results speak for themselves.
Listen to Simon folks, if you do, your photography will improve no matter what you're shooting on!
This is so kind Nick! Thanks very much!

@@simon_dentremont Yup, sounds alright by me!
Thank you Sir! Wonderful insights and advice.
You are very welcome
Another excellent video. Thank you 😊
Your videos are so comprehensive. I've had my R5 and 100-500 for about a year now. I think I've learned a lot since I started, but I always get a few extra tips from these videos. Also, I very much appreciate your thought process. It's extremely logical. I don't find many people who can dissect and optimize literally every step of the photography process.
Wow. Thanks for an informative and interesting video that didn't shout at me. Great information and well presented.
Glad to help
As always, thank you for making a fully useful, no-filler video with plenty of solid information. I prefer it when a presenter gets to the point and doesn't waste time with silly intros or irrelevant material. You are a master at that and it's what keeps me coming back for more. And of course your beautiful images show that you really know your stuff. Keep the great work coming our way!
Just wanna to say big thanks for the great teaching in yr video.
Glad it was helpful!
Every time I watch a new video you seem to answer a question I been longing to ask like your in my head. Thank you
I have spies everywhere
Loved this Vid Simon. Keep posting.
Great video Simon. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it Richard!
Excellent video Simon!
Many thanks Gail! You don’t need tips from me! You’ve got this!
As someone who got into photography last year Simon these videos have been fantastic, thank you for providing such helpful resources!
Many thanks!
Great seeing you connect with Fototripper (Gavin). I have coincidentally just recently started watching both of your channels independently of one another. Great channels!
What I like about your videos is that you make it simple in short, but accurate and so useful tips all the time
Excellent narration without any deviation from the topic. Kudos.
Simon i have just started wildlife photography and especially birds in flight. I have a 100-400l series v2 lens as its all i can afford atm, however that said i have some very pleasing pictures, including some great shots of leucistic kites, i have never really known what settings to use but i have set up pretty much h ow you have said in the video thanks again for an amazing video and some great explanations why
Thank you for taking the time and effort to provide such excellent guidance.
Inspirational, love the videos.
Congratulations!! And thank you so much!! I have learned a lot.
Awesome! Thank you!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and practical expertise. Thank you!!
I really like your presentations and explanations.
Glad you like them!
Hi just want you to know I was out today taking pictures of owls and your setting really work. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
I normally don’t shoot landscape, but after watching your videos, I picked a 200-600g than traded my 85 for a 70-200 2.8. Since I live in Florida, I tend to drive to the Everglades and patiently wait for something to happen with the wild life. It’s actually pretty therapeutic.
Excellent! Many bird species are pretty tame in Florida, so you have plenty of focal length with those lenses.
I hope you make millions on the this priceless information. You have saved me so much time and frustration. I finally feel like I have a good grasp of this animal. You’ve tamed it from the likes of a wild hyena to a German Shepherd puppy...which can be a very difficult puppy😂
Haha Thanks!
Simon, you have an excellent channel. You clearly illuminate the subjects wildlife photographers crave! Keep on going. Thanks from Wisconsin!
Many thanks!
Brilliant video and fantastic tips. Thank you. Phil
Glad it was helpful Phil!
I've seen many a great photo of wildlife, but your photos really inspire me to want to travel to better places and up my game.
Excellent tips, Simon! Thank you for producing such a useful tutorial.
I have watched many of your videos now and find them extremely helpful. Several of your tips have really helped me become more comfortable with my camera and Sigma 150-600 zoom. Thank you for the settings tips and for repeating a lot of what you say so I can take notes or have it reinforced into my brain. Can't wait to get out there and shoot some more!
I always enjoy your teaching style & informative videos, Simon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the photographic community! Best wishes. 😊🙏
Excellent video, thank you 😊
Thank you so much. So easy to follow. You are a great teacher. Cannot wait for your classes. What I love about your channel is that you genuinely love being in nature, observing and photographing the beauty of the birds, and you love teaching others to become their best photographers. I appreciate your time and all the knowledge you are sharing.
Fantastic and very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your efforts Simon! It helps beginners like me
Great to hear!
17:11 i thought you dropped that f4 lol. i about spit my coffee out lol. Great tips Simon
Oops! goodness no!
Today I stumbled on your RUclips videos and just had to say they are exceptional. You are an outstanding teacher. Thank you! Susan/The Daily Artisan
Trying to find all your videos that I previously missed, and enjoying every single one!
Glad you like them!
Really appreciate all the hard work you put in to making outstanding RUclips wildlife content, you truly are a very inspirational professional and greatly appreciated by all of us amature photographs trying to up our game. Eddie
As always, excellent content explained simply. Thanks
holy hannah how can you so easily lift that lens with one hand ?!! This is such a joy to watch and hear your tips and tricks
haha thx! it’s an 8lb lens, but I’ve leaned how to balance it after 5 years of use.
one of my best viewing so far! excellent advice thanks a bunch!
I am an amateur wildlife photographer. I've been taking pictures for about 8 years. Just started getting into wildlife photography I am in Cincinnati Ohio, I like your work. And I am just now starting to understand everything you're telling me. I just started watching your RUclips videos, you have taught me more in a few minutes then I have learned in a few years. I just wanted to thank you keep up the good work brother.

Excellent!
Really close to hunting techniques :)) thanks for this video!
It is. My archery experience helps me get sharp pics.
Cette vidéo m'a été d'une aide très précieuse ! Merci beaucoup !!
amazing content, every video is packed with tons of useful information! i finished movie school 20 years ago but then switched to IT and now coming slowly back to the "roots". your channel is helping me to learn new things and update this what, kind of, inside my head already :) greetings from Europe
Great video Simon. I've been shooting wildlife for 4 years and find your advice very helpful. Thank you.
Excellent video thanks so much!
All my focus point it was in your white bracelet!!😅
The best series of birding tips!!!! e\Extremely complete and those shots at the end are just killers!!!! Many thanks!!!
Great video Simon. Thank you for sharing all the very nice tips and tricks.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love all your videos! Learn something new every single time. Thanks, now I have to go out and practice what I just learnt.
Wonderful! Go get ‘em!
Great video! I'm planning on photographing eagles inba couple of weeks.
Thanks a lot your video's and explanation are amazing and yours pictures too ! Very good and helpful work , thanks a lot, Emilie from Belgium
Simon, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I find your videos to be among the best.
Wow, thank you
Another great video. Having recently done a puffin cruise in New Harbor, ME, I'm in awe of your puffin and razor beak photos. Simply stunning. I found it incredibly difficult to focus on our rocky boat.
it sure was hard! Especially with an 8 lb lens!
For panning, a neck strap can help. I aim the camera like aiming a rifle.
First visit to your channel, really enjoyed your knowledge and content
Welcome aboard!
EXCELLENT! I live in Montana in winter, Alaska in summer and just starting this amazing hobby.
So enjoy you RUclips videos...Simon you are a wealth of information and make the material covered easy to understand. You are knowledable and kind to help us trying to get "some" images in focus!
You are very welcome!
I need to get a new passport. After getting them for the last 50+ years, I never thought I would want to travel outside the US. Nova Scotia looks absolutely dynamic for wildlife photography. Thanks for the tips, thanks for the view of the local wildlife, and thanks for the guidance you offered recently. Travel safely and give Gavin a hearty handshake. He helped me with a problem with a company making and distributing very poorly made CPL and IR Filters. I am using Breakthrough Photography Filters out of San Francisco now, and everything is absolutely perfect.
Excellent!
I loved watching your video! Thank you sharing deeper insights!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Merci, Simon! Great content as always. I learned a lot.
My pleasure!
Absolutely love your videos, so clear and easy to understand
Glad you like them!
Wow you are the best ! Thanks a lot M Simon ! if Simon Said ! its right !
Glad you think so!
You are absolutely awesome….so happy to have found your RUclips channel!!
