"My favourite bird is the bird right in front of me." I love that. I think we can get so wrapped up in photographing specific subjects, that we often miss what's right in front of us!
Indeed.
I love that too! Fabulous Josh, something we all should keep in mind!
Man the more I see your local ponds the more I get jealous of you. Thank you for sharing those beautiful moments.
A super relatable topic on patience, always a struggle for me as well 😂 glad you’re doing it your way on your terms 🙌🏻 love that Hoodie flying shot near the end of the vid, very stunning
That is a secret about me. I really struggle with sitting in one place for a long time. Some guys it’s no problem.
This is exactly it. There are few things that stop time and all outward concerns. When you find one, embrace it.
I watch lots of wildlife photography channels I'm a Wildlife Ranger by profession. I have to say your channel is absolutely sublime I absolutely love your work and your channel. Thanks for sharing and inspiring
That is very kind. Thank you
It feels like watching a National Geographic Documentary on this voice. What a great vocal narration 😍😍
I appreciate it my friend. You are very kind.
Being flexible is all part of the chase. Thanks Josh for keeping us all grounded and reminding us that’s is a fun hobby and to make the most of your time.
Thank you Jamie! It definitely is a fun hobby.
Kingfishers are a lot like hummingbirds, as they have a definite pattern of stops during their active day. Keep watching that guy and eventually he will return to that branch. Beautiful duck photos!!!
I heard him land there as I was walking away. 😂
Thank you for the 10 stress free minutes.
Fun video to watch, keep them coming Bayou!!!!
I just LOVE your way of telling a story...
thanks so much Mohammed. I really appreciate it.
I thoroughly enjoy your "short stories" about your adventures. I enjoy them so much more than all the how too video's that seem to strain at the subject to make a video. You keep a simple theme that I can identify with and find inspiration from. Keep it up and I'm glad to see you using that 500PF. I have one also and it is a pleasure to carry around as well as actually taking photographs with.
I am a simple guy. Love that 500 PF.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always, what a beautiful picture of the duck with the water drops 🐦😁👍
Thank you so much Miguel.
Great video Josh, I think it's your commentary that makes your films really stand out to me. It reminds me of how wildlife photography helps my mental state, you are the "mindful photographer", keep up the good work.
I’m glad to hear you are enjoying them Aaron. It certainly is a mental game. It’s more than just equipment and technique.
yes, we do get carried away at times, wanting that special bird pic, thanks for bringing me back to reality to see what i've been missing
😀
I love your channel. It’s measured, insightful, and positive approach is so welcome!
Thank you so much Alan
Hello Josh, thank you for taken me with you to your beautiful hobby. It is great how do you do your storytelling with the video. I hope your stress level was after this trip,below 0. have a nice weekend. Best regards from Germany,
Thank you my friend. Definitely low stress after this video.
Just brilliant, thanks for sharing, the Kingfisher probably isn't going anywhere so a great reason to return. I often find my self shooting 'common' birds too...just for the fun of it.
And common birds are beautiful.
"It's what you do with the time that you're given!" Gandalf and in a way now Bayou J.... Thank you for another wonderfully poetic video....
Very familiar experience, glad you made the most of it👍🙏 Ant
Nicely said! And your photos are awesome! Love the Cormorant drying its wings.
Thank you so much Louisa
So true...forget about the stress of life in these situations!
Indeed
What a great moment I had watching your ''montage''. Well done and thank you for this.
Thank you for watching David.
Very good story telling. The majority of your subscribers can surely relate to this one!
It’s pretty much the story of my life. Thank you so much Denis. 😊
Great video, I too love the more common birds, they often have great personalities and interactions with each other. I love your commentary, so well timed and thoughtful a perfect match to your stunning footage. Thanks Josh 👏
Thank you so much
Lovely video. The images are great and your story telling is also top notch.
Josh your photos are absolutely beautiful! I totally enjoyed your video!
Thank you Patricia. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Lovely video Josh. The duck images were stellar and unique. The low angle approach so perfect and the bokeh like icing on a cake.
Thank you so much Louis. I really appreciate it. Counting down the days to our trip.
At the exact moment I was watching this, received a call from my husband. The owl he got up at 3:30am this morning was a no-show, so he is coming home “empty handed.” However, he is already talking about the next time when we can go out together. Tomorrow? LOL! Goosebumps for the beauty of your video narrative, goosebumps for the confluence of events. Can’t wait to share this with him when he gets home.
Owls can really make or break a day. Thank you so much
What a lovely story and video! So serene. and great photos too.
thank you my friend
Great video, Time is of the essence with birds. Those Mer-Gangsters from the Hood are awesome.
Mer-gangsters. 😆 I love it!
New name!!!
love it
Beautiful work of art! Well edited. Well spoken. Humble. Enjoying every one of your videos.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video as always... I also have kingfisher on my list, but in meantime I am chasing deer through out the fields :). Every monkey has its own pleasure or how the saying goes :).
Another wonderful video and extremely relatable. Thank you for this
Love your storytelling Josh.
Josh, your storytelling skills are a credit to you. I enjoy how you're able to summarise the thoughts so many of us have when we're out in the field. You've put together a commendable body of work this year, and it's been great to follow along. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Nathan. thank you so much. I am so glad you tagged along for the journey. It is always nice to see your comments.
The shot of the Hoodie on IG was a great reminder of the importance of framing and capturing the scene. Not cropping too tightly.
lovely.
Nice! I was photographing gold finches today too.
Woooow, what an incredible series of backlit captures. Very successfull day Bayou!.. Regards from Turkey:)
Thank you my friend!
Nice! Enjoy the journey...
Enjoyed!
Wow, such a beautiful video! I love your storytelling and positive messages.
Thank you my friend. I appreciate it.
Wonderful. Many thanks for posting.
Great video! I love your voice-overs.😂 You inspired me to go out and do wildlife photography and start with making RUclips videos - Thank you so much! Keep up the good work.👍🏼😉
Your channel is really great. I love it when young people go out in nature! Keep it up, you'll get there!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙃
@@fotowelten9392 Thank you so much! I give my best!
Beautiful images. I have to agree with you about the finch. Of the birds that are common, they are one of my favorites, especially in great light.
Add another great video to the list. Well done! There are some great shots near the end with water spray and perfect lighting that I really enjoyed. Keep at it, this is really amazing stuff.
Thank you so much Chris
What a delight
Thank you Rob.
Great video Josh, I really enjoy the peace and serenity you manage to capture in each outing. Certainly worth my time to watch. Thanks
I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous images!
The flexibility of the hobby is what makes it so relaxing and rewarding. I love any birds and they get my attention until something else does. You played it naturally right…great vid bud!
I love that. They get my attention until something else does. Perfect.
Nature always has a plan B, we just need to be willing to listen to it. Beautiful video. I think kingfishers and otters are at the top of my camera "teasers" list.
Well said Bruce. I know the Kingfisher has given me fits countless times.
😍 I enjoyed the ducks also. Specially those with that huge white plumage on the back of the head, looks like they’re wearing a high speed biking helmet. We don’t have that species where I live. And man, what’s that for an interesting plate-tripod construction? Never saw something similar before.
Thank you Roland. That’s just a frying pan with my gimbal mounted to it.
@@BayouJosh Frying pan: 😄. Couldn't figure out the handle 😄
I truly love your channel. It gives me so much inspiration. Thanks for that!
I'm so glad! Thank you Mike. you made my day.
Another fabulous video! Your work - both the stills and the videos - have a very distinctive quality that I find both soothing and inspirational. Keep up the great work.
You are very kind Robert. I sure do appreciate it my friend.
What a story telling!! Love your work man!! You have inspired to so much that I opened youtube getting inspired. You keep doing the good job and keep inspiring people like me (new in the game) like this
You are very kind. thank you so much.
Excellent
I've always said time is our biggest asset we have as photographers. It's the one thing we neglect the most. Often times the boring subjects bring less stress and far more enjoyment. Got some great shots of those geese. Thanks josh, for a great reminder of something we all struggle with. Cheers brother.
Thanks Kevin. I just don’t have enough time to go after those exotic birds.
Nice pictures, nice storytelling!
Thank you my friend
Great video Josh and loaded with fantastic photography. Good work
Thank you so much Rob.
That hoodie flight shot is GOLD!! Another great video Josh. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you Jamin.
Wonderful shots !! Thank you ☺️
Well you certainly notice the shorter days this time of year ! Lucky to be able to pop out whenever the light is good ! You certainly have to maximise your opportunities. Great video love accessible wildlife !👍😍
Definitely a challenge! But plenty enough time on the weekends to get out and explore.
Great video as always Josh...
An effective use of my time! You bring into perspective the reason we are drawn to this hobby like moths to a flame. Your video matched the peacefulness of photographing ducks in a pond so it grabbed my attention like a moth to a flame, just like being there! Great job, keep it up, I look for them every week!
I am glad you enjoy them John. Thanks for watching.
Love your work.. What an amazing voice you have got !!
Thank you so much 😊
Soothing and inspirational in spirit, and sublime in quality. There are many common but beautiful things in our lives, but only a select few care for them, and even fewer care to tell a story about them. You sir, are telling us a touching story about these common but beautiful things in an artistic, yet personal way. Thank you. And subscribed.
You are very kind James. Thank you.
great stuff Josh, agree wholeheartedly with your philosophy on the pursuit of bird images.
98% of it is showing up.
Excellent work!
Thanks again, good job
Beautiful photos, I appreciate your channel as I’m new to bird photography and enjoy your methodical ways of going out and about, you make it look easy and fun, thank you.
Not quite as easy as it looks on video. That was an entire weekend compressed into 10 minutes. So worth it though.
I really loved this video, thanks for sharing those moments with us !
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you.
Wonderful video - thanks!
Amazing video!
I just discovered you yesterday and have watched a few of your videos now. It didn’t take me long to hit the subscribe button! Your photos are amazing and inspiring! I love these short stories/experiences! Your voice is very calming as well…kudos to you for sharing with us all! Keep up the great work! 👌😃🤩
thanks Brad. I appreciate it brother. I am glad you are enjoying them. 😃
Thanks for another epic video. Beautiful pics as always and inspiring stories. Hey at the beginning there you need two bodies setup one for the ducks and the other at the ready for the kingfisher on the stick. lol
Yeah. That would be nice.
Always refreshing to hear voice and the story you tell❤️😍
Thank you Danny. I’m so glad you’re enjoying them.
Agreed "Favourite bird is the one in front of me"
that is the best way to never be dissatisfied.
Almost 10k! Wild stuff man, glad your channel is growing fast, well deserved!
It really is wild stuff. thank you so much.
Every frame is eye feast, also relaxed my mind a lot!
that's wonderful. Mission accomplished.
Nicely done as always. Thank you.
Thank you Edward.
Thank you!
I love the waterfowl taking flight, the light, colors and water droplets are awesome. Our Kingfishers are one of the most skittish birds I have seen. One hard bird to capture. Hard to get close. When I get a close shot of a Kingfisher, I feel like I won the lottery lol Thx again.
Thank you Angelo. I feel the same about the kingfisher. 😃
Great experience Josh you are greatest wildlife photographer.
You are too kind my friend
between you & lone shooter you 2 are too philosophical , just do what you love doing and enjoy it, oh ok you are later on in this video !
Great video Josh, the pictures you captured are amazing
Thank you Sean. 😊
Great video again Josh.
It is as if you are doing the philosophy behind bird photography.
I like the story and your selection of music.
Thank you my friend. It’s definitely more than just gear and technique.
Good work ♥️
Great Story!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful works as always and great video. I am hoping to get out Sunday as rain is in the forecast tomorrow. Good day for scouting maybe.
Rainy day photography could be quite dynamic!
Most of viewers love your stories and not your gears. We hope that you come back soon and regain your passion in sharing your stories.👍
If you are after Kingfishers, go to Australia. There are many to choose from. Lol. Great video. You have a nice relaxing style.
Thank you Kelvin. My son is moving to Australia as soon as the travel restrictions are removed. Hopefully we can make several trips in the future.
@@BayouJosh Bring your camera gear then, for we have many species to choose from. I hope your son settles in a nice place.
Great video 🙏
Very nicely done. Love your story-telling style and beautiful, complimentary videography. Excellent use of your time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another good one, Josh...keep it up !
Thanks George. I appreciate it man
Superb Josh! Thank You!
Thank you Mike.
I love your channel
"It's killing me I'm not down there photographing those ducks" **at the same time shows video captured of the ducks... hmmmm XD lolol, just teasing - great video :)
Eye level is my world. I was up on the levy looking down. 😀
Excellent! Prefer mergansers anyway.
Kingfishers have been my nemesis for years. Glad to be one of the "friends", lol.
Thanks David. I prefer merganser as well.
