I'm still new to bird photography but this advice is so encouraging and eye opening. I chuckle thinking back at the days I've wasted hoping for a serendipitous moment when planning and approach were fundamental. I also appreciate the point about creating opportunities for success early on. Thank you and I'll look forward to following the channel.
Great tips, as always. Thank you!
Thanks again Jan, some really handy tips I can put into practise this weekend.
Awesome, thanks mate! Hopefully you can get some nice birds

EXCELLENT advise Jan, Thanks for all your hard work on these videos
You are so welcome! Much appreciated :)
Thanks for the helpful tips. Cheers Peter
You’re welcome Peter 😊
Another brilliant video, I agree with all of your points you make. We really have to learn how to be more patient and wait for the perfect shot. Talking of Heat Haze, living along the coast, there are times I feel excess air moisture also can prevent good focus. Often one can see the moisture moving in especially late afternoon. I never fail to gain some important thoughts from your videos!
Thanks Kirk, much appreciated! You are right, 100% humidity will have a similar effect. Snow can have it too.
As always, you are so open with sharing your experience. Thank you, Jan! I need to practice getting to bird's-eye level. That is my new goal! :)
Thank you. That's great, it will make a big difference
Appreciate your tips and videos Jan - thanks!

Great tips, Jan. I fully recommend your Master Class to anyone interested in taking their photos to the next level.
Thanks Simon! Appreciate your comment & support
i will get this ASAP ..%100 must have.
Thank You, for all of your hard work. I always look forward to your next video! Your bird photos are amazing! I have always wanted to photograph the wildlife down under. L. Parham, Palm Bay, Florida
Thank you very much! Thats' great to hear. I loved Florida when i visited many years ago!
@@jan_wegener Revisit in the our late winter or early spring and I can show you some great places to photograph our birds! :), www.leparhampic.com
@@LaytonParham Sounds great, hopefully, we can travel again, soon. Great pics on your website!
Another great video Jan. A vlog on hard to ‘expose for birds’ would be great, eg black and white birds or Fairy-wrens ( seems that only early morning or late arvo shots seem to work on these as their feathers as super reflective). I usually don’t shoot between 10.30 and 4.30, mostly because of the poor light conditions, unless overcast but hadn’t considered heat haze.
Thank you! Interesting idea, I will put it on my list. Yes, reflective feathers can be a big issue and you either have to work on them during editing or shoot on cloudy days
Great tips. Thanks
I'm on an embankment a lot, so getting at eye level is tricky or impossible. Lot of alligators, so going down to the bank is not advised. quite often. However, two things I've found. A steep overhead can be interesting in its own right, but you definitely need to apply your tip regarding thinking it through. Also, I found adding some distance to the bird can give the appearance of being more at eye level. Just a couple of my thoughts.
Hi Brett,
very good points and exactly what I am talking about. When you think it through new possibilities open up.
You mention an important point, distance and longer focal length definitely lessen the perceived angle. That's a very good tip for everyone. I should've mentioned that! I sometimes put on a 2x extender and walk way back to lessen a steep angle.
Another great video Jan =) Would you please do a video of you using your setup to photograph waterfowl on the water. i'm curious how to get so low to the ground with that setup and also how you can photograph more comfortably. I always find it a tremendous strain on my neck while using the OVF/EVF
Great idea! I might do that when i get the R5. I never said it was comfortable lol. It's not the greatest to lie down that way
@@jan_wegener Awesome, looking forward to it =)
hate to do this , but first comment!. awesome video as usual.
Second! Haha
why not hehe, let's get the comments started
Tip no 6: ALWAYS review your photos, think of what you could make better, read about birds you just photographed, categorise them, choose a few best photos, process them and send to your friends - just one two really good photos; add some description; your friends will be impressed and they will motivate you; Tip no 7: watch this channel as Jan is really a pro 😀
All great tips! Reviewing your work and getting it out there is am important part!
Wow did I just hear Jan mention eBird. That’s crazy. Nice video btw 👍
not that i have ever used it, but it's certainly a resource to get locations :)
Jan Wegener you should use it 🤣
@@zebsphotography one day
Jan Wegener maybe when you go birding with me
Zeb's Photography hehe, do the first list of my life
Great video and tips Jan!
How do you manage to attract with a setup perch,
do you just look for where the birds usually hang out and put out some food around your perch and wait? =)
Bit of everything really. Food & water usually taker a while to work. So sometimes you can find spots the birds visit all the time and set up there or bird calls can be helpful at times as well, when you with care
@@jan_wegener sounds about like I thought, I usually setup a feeding station in the woods during winter but takes a few weeks for it to be "fed in" but once it is, there are no problems photographing birds.
Will have to try out a portable setup while the migrating birds are here! So basically, go where the birds are and try setting up a perch and hope for the best? 😂👌
@@AndyGustavsson A water dish in a good spot can certainly work well and also work within days, or bird calls for instant action, but it's very hit and miss. We do have to somehow attract the bird to the perch, or you might look at an empty perch forever :D
@@jan_wegener thanks, will try that! 😊🙏
Laying on wet sand gets uncomfortable fast... Any tips on what's the right gear for that? Tripods, mats, etc?
Yes, it's not very nice. I often wear chest waders or a iso mat will do the job as well
Location location location!!!
it helps for sure :D
I would mount the camera the other way.
I want the tripod head controls available for my left hand.
I made a video, why I do it this way around.
ruclips.net/video/wWo9IlrZ-i8/видео.html
It would be pointless for me since I have a lower tripod. I look over the camera for the birds.
I try to aim using the flash shoe. At times I'm sucessful.
Can we get the birds to understand voice commands? I thought it was all about having a $6k Canon 1DX and $10k 600mm lens?
That would indeed be helpful! But I think only dogs listen to commands unfortunately
Hi Jan, went to purchase your masterclass bundle but the price at the checkout didn’t match the advertised price. Is there a discount code I missed?
Hey Craig,
Sorry about the confusion. If you are in Australia, I have to add 10% GST. The price is 99USD. So it might change to a different number if you are in a different country, based on your currency. Send me an email if you have any more questions and we can work it out.

Jan Wegener thanks Jan, yes I am in Oz thanks for feedback - damn the exchange rate/GST 😩 but the ATO was kind this year, purchased 👍🏻 keep up the good work.
Craig Zilko yes, very annoying! Much appreciate your purchase
