    Pretty much sums me up to a tea really and tip number 5 is where I excel mainly because I have no expectations no plan just a walk with my camera if I get a shot I'm happy with then great if not I still had a nice walk.

    Advice to buy a strap to carry a heavy camera and a bean bag is the best advice! I haven't seen this advice from other people and I'm glad you brought it up. Thank you! Your video is very valuable for beginner bird photographers.

      I highly recommend a Cotton Carrier. It's how I carry my 200-500mm lens out hiking and it helps distribute the weight evenly so I don't end up with a sore shoulder and neck.

    I agree with you Paul about investing in a good lens. I have a canon 100-400 ii and I absolutely love it. They are like a VW or Volvo they do tend to hold their value. Great tips 😅

    Hi Paul, what chair do you use? I see you have a folding one and that would be very useful in the field.

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography
      @PaulMiguelPhotography  2 года назад +1

      I rarely use chairs, but should do more. I just use cheap folding stools.

    Hello Paul, do you shoot mostly in raw or jpeg? Is post processing crucial in wildlife photography? Thanks

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography
      @PaulMiguelPhotography  2 года назад

      I shoot raw. Post processing is not always that important. Really depends on a lot of factors and how pure you want the image to look.

    which lens foot do you use on your 500mm lens?

    • @PaulMiguelPhotography
      @PaulMiguelPhotography  2 года назад

      I have a Kirk lens foot that I swapped from the original that was on the lens. Bought from Wex.
