I feel like a broken record but this channel is one of the single most concise and well spoken and thus informative channels I have ever found for any of my hobbies and interests. It’s truly remarkable and I for one am very grateful to have it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, I really do appreciate it and it brings me joy to know that my videos are helping others and that they are useful. Thanks again and happy birding, Cheers, Duade
@@Duade yjujjjj
Absolutely! Duade, you’re not only a superb photographer, but a superb educator! Thank you!
I’m new to photography. I was rather frustrated until I started watching this channel. Other channels focus on the equipment. My equipment isn’t the most expensive. It is sooooo comforting when you pull out an older camera and show us that it isn’t always about the equipment. THANK YOU!
Duade, there are RUclipsrs, and there are knowledgeable, helpful, great trainer/instructor, RUclipsrs. You are the consummate professional. You communicate clearly. You're easy to follow with ALL your presentations. If I could hand out degrees to "professors" at "RUclips University" you would receive a "PhD". I reckon another favorite part of all your tutorials is your Australian accent, combined with an occasional photo of a Galah. You are a GREAT resource for learning MORE about photography. Roger...Pebble Beach, California
Roger, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, I really am grateful for the feedback and support. I am happy to hear you find the videos helpful and I do plan on doing more educational videos in the future. Thanks again, Cheers, Duade
For my money, some of the best videos out there. One of the best reasons for shooting manual is when the subject is in constant light, but the background shifts. Exposing the bird correctly means you don't have to worry when a bird in flight goes from a dark background to a light background or vice versa. Thank you, again, for all the great vids.
Thanks Mark, very true, I had issues with Albatross going from bright sky to dark water, played havoc in auto exposure mode. Cheers, Duade 👍
The best part about your videos is that besides using the latest R5 you also use an old trustee 40D to photograph the wildlife which gives users like us a proper idea that how to take better shots using the old DSLRs we already have.
Thanks Shekhar, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Duade
The 40D is maxing out at ISO 800 on auto ISO. It’s for sunshine days only. Buy a 7D at least.
You will get better results with better equipment. If you aren’t trying to get paid for your work you can get very good results with less expensive equipment. A used 1Dx is still a great camera at a good price. Canon 7D II can be had for $500 and get pro results with good lenses. EF400 f5.6 also
I’m new to photography and I’m taking a class. Your explanation of setting for a good exposure is great.
You are one of the very best instructors around. I love how much I learn from your videos! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Thank you! You made it very clear with such good samples. I'll take your tips as my "handbook" for now.
Thanks Juvencio, Cheers, Duade
I’ve been a photographer enthusiast since 2019, and I’ve taken some great photos during that time. Getting in to bird photography these last few months proved to me that I still had a lot to learn, and your videos have been incredible tools. Thank you for all your work. My bird photography has already drastically improved!
Thanks Benjamin, that is wonderful to hear, glad to hear the videos have been helpful, Cheers, Duade
That old 40D took some great images with that sweet glass! Great stuff! Thanks! I got a great lesson when I went out and took some cityscape at night. That was fun!
Thanks Jon, yes, amazing how well it performs for its age, take care, Duade
I'm glad I watched this before I drove 4 hours for an opportunity to photograph some Greater Prairie Chickens, I think I got much better results than I would have without your instruction. Thanks!
Great to hear Nathaniel, Cheers, Duade
Great video… I always tell folks who just getting started with photography that the time to start learning to shoot manually is not on your Safari or vacation! It’s best to start about 3 months before your trip to give yourself time to become proficient… There is nothing wrong with shooting in AUTO or SIMI AUTO or one of the SCENE MODES if your camera has them. It’s better than missing the shot of the best moments during your trip.
Duade I just wanna let you know how amazing DxO has worked for me. During this spring migration I’ve been shooting anywhere between 5000-12000 ISO in dense woods and that program has made my life a million times easier. Thanks for all you do!
Should've known master Kit Fisto was into bird photography!
That is great to hear, it is a wonderful piece of software, great to hear you got some nice migration shots. Cheers, Duade
Lovely to see another quality video on a subject it never hurts to drill in a little more :) thanks
Thanks Tom, I agree, it's surprising how much better I understand things whilst putting a video together. Cheers, Duade
Great explanation! Nicely done,thanks for the video.
I shoot in manual mode all the time and you definitely nailed it when explaining the auto metering. The hard part about shooting in manual are when the birds are in flight. But Shoot enough manual, it becomes super easy.
I usually shoot in manual with auto iso. It’s just much quicker to get the correct exposure especially since I use a dslr and need to use live view to check exposure. I usually use spot metering and the camera gets it right most of the time. But in harsh lighting situations I might just switch to full manual.
Perfectly clear explanation. Looking forward to putting this in practice.
Another gem! Thanks Duade
Thanks Miguel, it is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Oh man . You have so much of patience and mastered the skill. I have shoot birds before and difficult to handle the camera. You are doing that shooting your RUclips video. 👏👏👏👏
Learnt the use of Histogram to get the right exposure 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great to hear Srirama, Cheers, Duade
Thank you again for these videos you are second too none when it comes to producing excellent content.
Thanks Peter, I appreciate the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Wow! I have been doing photography for 5 years and today I discovered your videos and may I say the way you explain and have the written information on the side is so good. Thanks from Tassie.
Thanks Susan, I am happy you found the channel and find the videos helpful, stay warm down there at the moment :-) Cheers, Duade
Well done Duaede. Love your videos all the time.
Thanks Evert, glad they are helpful, Cheers, Duade
Awesome video Duade! The best part was the in the field examples. Seeing the conditions and then how you set up everything makes it easier for me to comprehend. I’ll be saving this one to watch again!
Thanks Louisa, I will be sure to do another video in the field. Cheers, Duade
This is the best explanation and demonstration of how auto settings work. I shoot full manual, but found this information very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Deb, great to hear it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
Another great video! I believe just about everything I've learned has come from you! You just have this way about you that makes your videos interesting and informative and not boring.
If you get the time I would really appreciate a video on how to get close to your subjects. Tips and techniques that you use.
Thank you for all of your hard work!
Thanks Teresa, great to hear the videos are helpful, I will look at doing a video on how to get close. Cheers, Duade
All these guide videos you have is brilliant!! I keep learning so much new stuff and you're very good at explaining in an easy and understandable way. I'm surprised these videos haven't blew up to a million views yet
Thanks Jay, I am happy to hear they are helpful, Cheers, Duade

Thats great to hear, I'm glad it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
Really excellent. I think this was such a well laid out video. It’s great to have a method to set up, and a good reminder to constantly monitor the light. I’d love more videos like this.
Thanks for the feedback David, I appreciate it, Cheers, Duade
Just two words , Brilliant and thanks 👍
Finally I understand exposure and the histogram....now I need to put this newfound knowledge into practice. Thanks so much for a brilliant video.
Absolutely beautiful video. Very helpful, and the birds are so beautiful. This is a live video with the birds perched at the right moments. Amazing!!
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Thanks.
Thanks Amitabha, you are too kind, Cheers, Duade 👍
I hope you make more videos like this Duade, they are my favorite! You are doing awesome work :)
Thanks Aleksander, great to hear it was helpful and you enjoyed it, Cheers, Duade
The best tutorial on photographic exposure for photos of birds on the internet. Congratulations! I'm learning a lot from you. Keep teaching us more every day. Thanks.
Another great video Duade!!! Always learn from your informative talks, you can see that your put a lot of effort into them and its much appreciated. Well done.
Thanks Ray, I appreciate the feedback, I'm glad to hear they are helpful, Cheers, Duade
Got to say I really enjoy your channel, I actually watch them more than once and always learned more the second time around. Thank you Duade.
Great to hear Sam, Cheers, Duade
I have been using my 700D for 5 years now and you have taught me so much in this video. Love the way you present and make it easy to understand. Thank you.
It is my pleasure Paul, great to hear it helped. Cheers, Duade
Excellent work, as usual! Thank you.
Frank, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Another great video, Duade! Thank you for all of the thoughtful, informative and inspirational content. Always look forward to the next one. Great job fully explaining the difficult concept of Manual mode shooting. I use manual + auto iso myself these days, but used others in the recent past. The educational videos are definitely a very nice addition to your collection. I think the Southern Whiteface was my favorite shot this round, but all were very good, I thought. Enjoy the shooting ~
Thanks, yes, Auto ISO seems to be the most popular mode and is very useful considering how well these modern cameras handle noise. Cheers, Duade
Love your channel, great info explained so well
Thanks Gale, it is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Super video. I love your style and clarity. Thank you!
It is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Great breakdown. Keep them coming
Thanks Lesandis, Cheers, Duade
Wow, what a great video, I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for what you’re doing
This is THE BEST photography channel for wildlife. Thank you so much for your clear instructions!
You're very welcome!
by far the best explanation & video i've seen on this subject. great work Duade. :)
Thanks Adrian, I am glad it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
Duade thank you for the great video. You have given me the confidence to start shooting in M mode instead of AV. Great work mate. Your videos are amazing and very inspiring and informative
Brilliant video Duade! Everthing explained in a clear and comprehensive manner, thank you .
Thanks James, it is my pleasure, Cheers, DUade
Excellent info, thanks for sharing!
Alain, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade

Thats great to hear, I'm glad it was useful, Cheers, Duade
Thanks Duade another great educational video, enjoyed all the beautiful photos well done cheers Mate.
Thanks Brendan, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade

Fantastic Duade. This would be the best presentation covering this topic! Well explained and demonstrated. Thanks.
Thanks Tony, I'm glad it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
Hi Duade, awesome video as usual, a lot of great information. Thanks to your videos I have been taking some great pictures. I always look forward to the next video. Thank you and take care.
Thanks Marco, that is great to hear my videos are helping, Cheers, Duade
This is a really useful explanation on exposure in general, Duade. One thing for me is that you touched on things my Canon is doing and I was not understanding why, and why I could not do anything about it. With this video, I understand my camera better. I don't recall this info being in the camera's manual. Thanks so much for creating and sharing this video.
Jim, it is my pleasure, I'm glad it made things make a little more sense, Cheers, Duade
Another fantastic video and very informative. One of the best content providers on the here, keep up the excellent work.
Thanks Gary, I appreciate the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Great content Duade, keeping it simple is so affective, I have changed my workflow on your advice and already happy with the results I’m achieving, thanks mate.
Andrew, that is great to hear, I am glad the videos are helping, Cheers, Duade
simply one of the best videos out there to explain the exposure and histogram
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it, Cheers, Duade
Thank you so much Duade , it's so helpful and I was looking for this to understand for a long time . 💖. Keep inspiring
It is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Thank you Duade for a really clear explanation, enjoyable and easy to follow. A great video to watch again as a refresher. Look forward to watching more of your videos, keep up the great work!
Thanks, I am happy to hear it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
That’s a great tutorial Duade explained thoroughly, and I liked how you pre assessed the lighting conditions with a view to only change one thing to capture your image.
Thanks Carl, that is the key if you can get it set so you only have to change the SS or ISO it makes it much easier, Cheers, Duade
Excellent information as always. Although many of us may already know the basics, am sure we were due a refresher. Thanks Duade!
Thanks Kalyan, yes, it was helpful to me also, Cheers, Duade
Best video ever on the subject!
Thanks Manav, I appreciate it, Cheers, Duade
Another informative video Duade, full of great tips. You seem to have a real knack for this!
Thanks Craig, I appreciate the feedback, Cheers, Duade
New to your channel and love it. There is so much information overload in relation to photography, but your videos hit the perfect balance of knowledge, experience and simplicity. I’ve learnt so much already. Thank you and keep up the great work! 😀👍
Thanks Tango, I appreciate the feedback, Cheers, Duade
I enjoyed it and I definitely learned something new as a refresher course. Thank you.
Thanks Luigi that is great to hear, Cheers, Duade
Hello Duade, really enjoyed your video.
You covered everything you need to know i believe, to get great photos
I feel you did a fantastic job of explaining the steps you need to do to get good exposure of you're subject. Staying calm and not letting frustration get the best of you is very important.
Really glad I saw this video, thanks for your informative and helpful information!
Gary, thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment, I'm glad it helped, Cheers, Duade
The histogram issue was an unclear issue for many people. You did clearly emphasised how to be. Now it is our turn to implement and practice the knowledge. Thanks for such great presentation and practice ones again Duade. Btw, the red capped bird is amazing. She played the role perfectly. No idea if you are paying her 😂.
What a great video. I will take your advice and watch again. You explain things so well. Thank you .
Wonderfully explained, as always Thanks👌
Thanks Ian, my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
I have watched loads of videos and this has been the best by far! I wish I had come across your channel weeks ago 🥴
Thank you so much- your tutorials are brilliant! 🙌
Thanks Flavia, I am happy to hear they are helpful, Cheers, Duade
Great as always!
Thanks ABE, Cheers, Duade
Shot to the top of my favourite camera channels - excellent. Thanks!
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it, Cheers, Duade
Another great video. The amount of information along with the field applications will have me watching it several times. Now I need to get out in the field and apply and practice. Thanks.
Mickey, thanks for the feedback, good luck on your adventures, Cheers, Duade
I love all your photography videos
Very nice video. First of its kind , I have ever seen on exposure triangle. Well done Duade. 👏. Kind of same progression I went through like you explained towards the end. Bow down to your humbleness and simplicity of explanation.
Thanks Shashidhar, you are too kind, I appreciate the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Thanks again Duade for another great video which demystifies some of these fundamental aspects of photography. Can't wait to get out and try these different ways of working. Best wishes and keep up the great work 👏👏
That is great to hear Andrew, I'm glad it was helpful, good luck trying out the settings, Cheers, Duade
I finally found some free time to watch this video and enjoyed it. Tutorial videos like these are what I’m really interested in but that’s just me.
Thanks David, it was pretty long I must admit, thanks for the feedback, Cheers, Duade
@@Duade I didn’t mind the length of the video. It’s the start of spring migration here and free time is for photographing birds.
Greetings from Thailand. You did an excellent job making this topic simple- great video!
Cidron, thanks for taking the time to comment, greetings from Australia :-)
I really enjoyed today's session. Very helpful. Thank you very much.
My pleasure Danny, Cheers, Duade
Great video Duade ... I really enjoy your style of explaining what so many other people just assume you already know! 👍
Thanks Graeme, great to hear it was helpful, Cheers, Duade
You are the best teacher I've found. I walk away from every one of your videos with a greater understanding of photography. So grateful. Thank you!
That is great to hear, Cheers, Duade
Brilliant video. I started in manual. Failed miserably. Then moved to shutter priority. Was underexposing the photos and was also editing. Now at aperture priority. Pretty happy with this. Will now graduate to manual mode.
If your camera supports exposure compensation in manual mode use it - your work will be 10x easier. Ie, just leave the is on auto, and adjust the exposure as necessary. Fully manual shutter, aperture and iso, is just too unnecessarily hard.
They are very similar when you think about it, you set your Aperture and SS and then adjust one dial. In Auto ISO you adjust the exposure comp, in manual you simply turn the ISO dial left or right. They effectively work the same as in you are just adjusting one dial. As I mentioned earlier, there is no right or wrong way to set your exposure and I encourage trying all these different modes and choosing the one that is right for you. Cheers, Duade
Aditya, I highly encourage you to also try Exposure Compensation whilst in Shutter Priority as this will help with stopping underexposed images. Manual is also great to understand how all the settings work together. Cheers, Duade
Blessed are the doctors that kept you alive. You have some much to share and you do it in a quite unique manner. Sometimes I have a feeling that the wild life photographers beaves as a kind of secret society but you go over the edge. Great video and simple language. I don´t know what have done wrong as I no longer see the histogram in the viewfinder during the focus of my targets. I shoot in manual mode on my Canon R5. Thank you and for another great video.
José, if you press the info button on the camera it should cycle through a few display options and the histogram should be one of them. I think the histogram may hide when you are taking lots of photos. There is also an option to turn it on in the menu I think. Cheers, Duade
Another great video Duade, very informative and clear to understand,
keep up the good work and many thanks.
Rael, it is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Well done Duade its a wonderful explanation of a very complicated subject ... thank you
Thanks Martin, it is my pleasure, Cheers, Duade
Mate this is sensational! Well done and thanks for shareing this info with us!. Please do more in the future
Thanks for the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Great tips, thanks a lot.
This was an excellent educational video! Exposure is often a complicated topic but you made it very easy to understand. Thank you so much for making it! I would strongly encourage you to make more of these types of videos.
Thanks for the feedback, Cheers, Duade
Thanks for this brilliant video, Duade! The clarity with which you have defined the steps is the best i've seen on capturing sharp images. Truly. Starting with assessing the light ... many thanks. You've saved me a lot of future angst on why my images with a long lens weren't sharp....
It is my pleasure, great to hear it was helpful. Cheers, Duade 👍
Great video with plenty of good information. Thanks Dude.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate the comment, Cheers, Duade
Great video! I shot mostly AP and TV in the past with my DSLRs when in the field (Manual in the studio), largely because they were awful at high ISO. Now that I have an R7, I’m working to find the best button setup for me to quickly make manual adjustments in the field without missing the bird. This is a good explanation for those who have never used manual to get the knowledge they need to break into the next level.
Thank you for this video. I have learnt an amazing amount from you. I now find my images greatly improved.
That is great to hear Philip, Cheers, Duade
Great video, thanks Duade. Getting more into bird photography and exposure is probably the area I understand least, so this is really helpful. 👍
Thanks Steve, great to hear, good luck with it, Cheers, Duade
This was the information I was missing in my photography, thank you 🙏 definitely top notch tutorial. Definitely subscribing ❤️🔥
Thanks for the feedback and welcome. Cheers, Duade 👍
Excellent video! You always provide loads of examples to show what you are talking about. I love the mix of talking about the theory and settings, text on screen, then out in the field. Glad you used the other lens towards the end. Yes I would definitely be interested in more like this and appreciate the amount of work you have put into it. Settings for birds in flight exposure be good. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback Caroline, I appreciate it, Cheers, Duade
