    Don, thanks for the very good overview. I would like to suggest one more tip.
    The rain and high humidity can, on occasion, negatively impact camera or flash functioning especially if you move from a cool, air conditioned room to the steamy outdoors. I always bring a plastic bag full of desiccant packs. I can slip my flash, camera or lens into the bag for an hour or two to reduce any humidity that may cause operational problems.

    Super video and very informative , one question about the ambient light , with the Sony 200-600mm being F6.3 at the long end is that not restrictive at times in a rainforest environment when the 600F4 might be better ?

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey, thanks for watching, sure, at times a faster lens would be great but the flexibility of the zoom is priceless and I simply raise the ISO a bit if I need more shutter speed under lower light conditions. These days noise is easy to take care of.

    Hi I really enjoyed the video. I am planning a trip to CR but would like some advice on a good place to stay. Fancy is not important access to birds is. Can you recommend a place? I’m looking for a place to do day trips from or better yet just walk the resort area. Thanks

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  10 месяцев назад +2

      Hi Lori, sure, just come on my tour and I'll take you to the best of the best lodges - all with TONS of birds. But I understand not everyone wants to do that. There are hundreds of amazing lodges in CR. I like the ones near Los Quetzales National Park (if looking for Quetzals) and I like the Cano Negro area and the Sarapiqui area too. Email me don@donmammoserphoto.com if you want to go on my tour or if you need more specifics. Thanks for watching my video.

    Hey Don, I've been thinking of investing in the Sony A6600 and the only thing turning me off is the 1/4000th of a second shutter speed. Do you think that it has been a problem in some cases? Also, for this trip, was the A6600 used? Thanks.

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  6 месяцев назад

      Hi and thanks for watching. The 1/4000 sec. shutter speed is no issue at all. In Costa Rica I normally use my a9ii and a9iii bodies and my current aps-c Sony body is the a6700. The a6600 is VERY good as well.

    What's camera and len for the video?

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  2 месяца назад

      Hi, Mostly I used a Sony A9II and Sony 200-600mm lens for the wildlife. I also used a Sony A9II and Canon 100mm macro lens with adapter for some of the close-up shots.

  • @stanobert3475
    @stanobert3475 10 месяцев назад

    Thank you for the great tips! Would my aps-c camera with a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens give me enough reach for birds? It is nice and compact.

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi, in some places that might be enough, but generally I think you'll do better with more zoom power. On your aps-c camera you could always rent a 100-400mm lens and then you'd be golden. You are smart to try and pack light though as this makes life easier. Thanks for watching.

    The national parks and eco lodges seem kind of overcomplicated. Can you tell me the national parks you visited, the proximity of those to the capital, and the proximity of those to your Eco lodge? Thanks (sorry for asking again).

    • @DonMammoserPhoto
      @DonMammoserPhoto  2 месяца назад

      I find that visiting eco lodges that are set up for photographers is the best bet. The lodges I go to are scattered throughout the country and close to several national parks. Driving times can be long though because of traffic and narrow winding roads in the mountains. Come with my group and all will be taken care of. www.donmammoserphoto.com
