Hello Fabian. I have visited several places in Costa Rica for birding and bird photography myself. I would love to know what locations you enjoyed best. I enjoy your show thoroughly. So happy to see you are in Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful place.
Thanks a lot Fabian for these tips and tricks about hummingbirds photography! I have been following your channel from Lausanne for quite some time now. As my upcoming trip to Costa Rica is in coming May, these tips are very useful for me. Please keep it up and share your other tips about CR! Many thanks!
Hello! I am a 68 year old new photographer who bought a P1000 Nikon recently and then quickly realized the P1000 wasn’t what I really want to be using. It’s fun and novel, but I believe I just needed more in regards to resolution, detail and expression. The P1000 is fun to zoom around with, but that was about all it did. After investigating more and more, and then coming across your wonderful channel, last night I bit the bullet and made the decision to buy a Cannon R6 Mark 2 with a RF 200-800 f/6.3-9 Cannon lens. I’m hoping that the new camera and lens will take me further in my learning as I gain more experience. The camera and lens hasn’t arrived yet, so in the mean time I’m devouring your videos. You have helped me in not only understanding more about photography, but just as importantly, the excitement that is welling up within me as I anticipate what could be down the road for me as I learn. I was shooting birds in my back yard yesterday for the second time ever with the P1000 on my makeshift bird feeder and I couldn’t believe how absolutely enjoyable it was! I figured I’d do some novice experimenting, and upped the shutter speed hoping to stop the raindrops in midair as the birds fed on seeds - and it worked! I consider myself a tough guy, having shot big firearms and ridden fast motorcycles my whole life, but I wasn’t ready for almost my weeping when I saw an image come up on screen of something I just composed on a camera. Your work is so very much appreciated. All the very best to you. Joe
4:34min i am watching your channel a while mate and we gotta find a name for that photography face you make when the cam goes onto your nose. teeth are out and tong biting starts like you are fighting a tiger 😂😬😬😬 now if you excuuuuuuse me i am taking my new R7 and go out to use my new knowledge about hummingbirds. there must be some of them where i live!

A great explanation about the distances and background. So many people tend to forget the difference between photography sites and watching sites.
Excellent photos! Enjoy the trip
Thanks! I‘m already back by now (more videos to follow)
Wonderful shots! I'm in Costa Rica myself later this month - I can't wait!!
Thanks, have fun!

Looks like you were at Savegre Lodge. One of the best birding spots in Costa Rica Enjoy
Thanks 😊
Very interesting video. Nice images as always but I also liked the shared experience with all the tips very clearly communicated.
Thanks
I could have spent a month in Santa Elena alone, photographing birds there! I'm absolutely loving the slow-mo videos (and of course the photos too)!
Thanks a lot 😊
hi Fabian

Thank you

Lovely video Fabian but.......i hope the airline didn't put the 600mm f4 in the hold and you could take it on the plane yourself!!!
Yes, this worked every time so far 😊
