A great video, Scott. We should all aspire to be turtles. As I watched you move forward in a crouched position, I was very envious. As I approach 80, there is no way I could do that, given my aches and pains and diminished mobility. And I can forget being prone. I'd probably cramp up and not be able to get up. For me, those days are over. I pretty much need to find a spot and wait for the photo opportunity to come to me.
Hi Bill. I often do the same as you and just stay in one spot. But these grouse move around a bit too much to do that. I’m sure you’ll be doing great regardless and sometimes it’s just nice to be out there with the wildlife however you do it. Thanks for watching.
Nicely done! That was very helpful hearing about your process which was so clearly explained. I suspect that it is commonly under appreciated how much work can go into the stunning images.
I completely agree. Photography has become so readily consumable - which is great. But that also means that people, particularly those who don’t participate in it, don’t appreciate the time, effort and cost it takes. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Very interesting topic. Funny storie... these past days I remember of you, and notice that it has been some time since i had seen your videos... than i search for your channel and you had just post this video! Crazy the coinscidence! Anyway, keep the video coming! I really like you content! Cheers from Brazil!
This is (another) excellent video, Scott, thank you very much. Regarding the question: I think I startet out as a hare but with time I am morphing into a tortoise.
Yes, I think most people do. And there are definitely some times where it’s appropriate to be a hare, but the tortoise is generally more successful. Thanks for watching.
I hope you do more videos narrating test shot evolution toward final images. Maybe lean into examples of sequences that didn’t pan out in the end? And don’t forget to mention how much time you invested making the images. That was oddly comforting. Inserting past examples & other species to illustrate concepts you shared on this grouse hunt made the lessons more interesting and indelible. I’ve rarely gleaned near as much help, inspiration and motivation from a video than I got from this. Thanks!
Very interesting video. Nicely presented. Can you leave the aperture, rather than just coming and going. That way we have time to study the photo and see how it was shot . Like i said great video. I will be back. 👍
Hi. Glad it was interesting, and I’m always open to consider viewer comments. I’m just not sure what you mean by ‘leave the aperture rather than just coming and going’. Thanks for watching.
@WalksOnTheWildSide Hi there. I'll explain in simple words. With each photo you put f,/2,8 1.250 iso 200 Ect it helps to understand what the artist is trying to say 👍👍🙏🙏 Just leave it on the photo 📸. I hope I've been clearer ???
Hi Peter. I’ve only really dabbled with the AI noise reduction in LR so far. I use Topaz for all my noise reduction at the moment. But I intend to spend more time using the LR noise reduction at some point. If I find anything interesting I might make a video on it. Thanks for watching.
Hi. All photos are edited, even those that are supposedly ‘straight out of camera’. But I choose to edit my own photos rather than delegate my editing to my camera. This might interest you, whichever side of the editing debate you sit on: ruclips.net/video/NebIzMrAYvI/видео.html Thanks for watching.
Great topic. I know that as I progress with my wildlife photography, I am much more selective and patient. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
That’s great to hear. Thanks for watching.

Nicely done! Greetings from the Pacific Northwest to you all the way from Whidbey Island! 🌲🌿🦅 Declan
A beautiful part of the world. Best wishes from the UK. Thanks for watching.

Knowing your subjects line of sight is also very helpful for predicting what it will do next. I always enjoy your videos. Have a wonderful day. 😎👍
You too and thanks for watching.

I never thought about it this way. From now on Im gona take aa many shots before the final one. Cheers
Excellent and thought provoking content, and super shots
I’m pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thank for all those great tips in this excellent informative video 👍
Hi Raymond, much appreciated. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Rick. What a coincidence. I was just taking a break. But I’m back now and ready to go again. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
These were great examples of how to experiment and get the best shot.
Thanks very much for watching.

Totally fascinating stuff! Thank you!

Hi Keith. That’s so nice to hear. I’ll certainly keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching.

What a great video, thanks.

Hi Scott, what is your approach and thoughts on Lightroom AI noise reduction.
Hi Peter. I’ve only really dabbled with the AI noise reduction in LR so far. I use Topaz for all my noise reduction at the moment. But I intend to spend more time using the LR noise reduction at some point. If I find anything interesting I might make a video on it. Thanks for watching.
Are photos in video straight out of camera or edited?
