The biggest gold nugget of info in this video is the piece of tape on the focus ring. Genius.

[@frankwoodoutdoorswriterpho6447]

I have to ask as well, is the bag homemade or bought? I've been looking to buy one, but haven't seen one with the groove like yours. Great vid!

[@carlmorrow1]

Thanks John, looks like a good DIY project making one of those.

[@deirdrecochran4160]

Beautiful shots Johnny as usual. Great idea!!! WW

[@davidyoung794]

Thanks for the tape on the focus ring tip John

[@derekgardner9286]

Thanks John. Now that I see the shape it makes more sense. I've got some canvas, some beans and I know how to use a a sewing machine. Looks out!
thanks.

I also find turning the car off helps with reducing vibration from the engine. Depending on which vehicle I'm in that has ruined a few of my shots shooting this way.

[@bevmichel8757]

You need a Tesla😂

[@FotoHysteria]

Never thought about the tape tip. Thx!

[@kurtisca]

Great tips, great intro and great vehicle as well! Thanks for sharing this.

[@Lichtbildidealisten]

great tip! thanks!

[@BirdinginMalaysia]

Great advice! Thanks

[@EXPLOREANDCLICKS]

Beautiful photographs...👌👌👌👌

[@macmcmillen6282]

Great tips, John. Would never have thought of the "heat waves from inside the vehicle effecting focus" tip. Very helpful!

[@thomassiegers3007]

Have you seen wolves this year where is the best spot to see them in Banff I’m going there next month to do wildlife photography thanks

[@willparsons32]

Hmm...never thought of the tape trick... great point!! So I've gotta ask; you put the lens on manual focus (add the piece of tape) and then use the camera focusing to do its job?

[@francoisdreyer]

First thing I did when the video ended was to get up and tape the manual focus ring. Excellent tip, thank you.

[@awair777]

+1, thanks

[@Lichtbildidealisten]

you are right! :-D

[@brianjordan8990]

Would you use stabilization on or off? Thanks.

[@bodesphotosoff-roadadventu4400]

Thanks John did not thank about the tape on the focusing ring.

[@szczeparadom]

hi, what camera did you use to take these photos and with what lens?

[@tiagosousa6695]

Hello John, where i can get a bag like yours?
Thanks

[@chevyvantravel9735]

you can make them yourself ..easy to do

[@smeyerphotography]

did anyone ever find out what bag this was? I don't have a sewing machine, so I'd like to purchase one.

[@trailswithtyler7427]

You figure it out yet

[@smeyerphotography]
