    The other day I saw half a dozen hummingbirds just sitting still in a tree and looking at me. You didn't get a camera yet, did you? They mocked me. Well, when you do, you'll never see us again and this magical moment will never happen for you again.

    I've shot at that "waterfall" spot before too, and it takes a super long time for anything to happen with those salmon. I was handheld with my manual 500mm and it was near impossible. By the time a fish jumped I was nowhere near ready to get the shot lol. Good video Kasey

    Honestly, as long as it's a nice composition or the bird is very close, for a detailed view, I don't really care about what it is. 🤷‍♂
    People always tell me, that I should go on a safari, but for me, just going out and seeing what I can find is what makes it fun.

    I've just returned home from a cycle tour around Tasmania, with my S1R + Sigma 100-400. In theory a fabulous kit and indeed I've taken some awesome photos. But in practice, due to it's size and weight, it lives in a camera bag that fits neatly and protected in the rear pannier. So I see a bird or nice scene.. gotta stop and find a tree or post to lean my bike against, hop off, open up the pannier, pull out the bag, open it, pull out the Panny & lens, take off the cap, reverse and attach the hood, slip the neck strap over my head 'cuz it's heavy, and... bummer, the bird has long gone! Or other times, the proceedure means I often can't be bothered to make a photo at all.
    So, I have decided to replace with a G9ii + 50-200 which is small enough to fit in my front handlebar pannier, right there in front of me, instantly accessible. Back to M43 for me. Forget the "full frame better than crop sensor" myth.. getting the shot is better than none at all on the "superior" system! Gear that is light and compact is the practical reality of photography on the move.

    I'm a "photographer" that uses a Sony APS-C body. For a year or 2 I was annoyed that if I took a wildlife glass cannon out I would miss out on all the bugs, and if I took a macro lens out I'd miss out on all the bigger critters.
    UNTIL
    I found the Tamron 50-400. plenty of reach AND 1:2 (0.5x) macro capabilities. Now I don't have to miss out on either.

    My Sony RX10iii has the feature where you press the record button and it actually captures the previous few seconds before the press in slow motion. That could've worked for capturing salmon jumping! Nice slowmo bird vomit though!

    Sweet squirrel footage Kasey!! Those black squirrels look so cool. There's nothing better than hiking to clear the mind and energize the body. I am so lucky because I have so many great hiking areas where I live. I still think it would look cool to put some LEDs inside that microphone and let the light shine out of the slots. Thanks for taking us along. Every time I hike I think about why I'm holding back on shooting video. I just can't seem to pull the trigger on doing it. There seem to be so many obstacles and I haven't yet wrapped my brain around it. Anyway, thanks again and have a great week.

    I think your shots of the salmon were cool! The guy who told you the salmon were feeding in that spot was mistaken though lol Salmon can’t physically feed when they spawn. The hormonal change they go through during spawn causes their throats to close, which sadly enough for the salmon, means they slowly rot and starve to death after making babies.

    Great footage, at least 2 of em clips were pretty flawless. Good job on the focusing.
    Dw about species being common, I love Robins! There are two broad ways to do wildlife, "catch em all pokemon style" and "improve on your footage of already catalogued species". Both can be just as fun and challenging! Great robin footage is still better than shitty footage of the rarest birds.

    My first "setup" was a Canon 7dMk2 with the 200mm (cause crop sensor). Every time I go out.... nothing. No birds, nothing. Oh, a dragonfly, oh a crow. When I didn't have my camera on me, AN EAGLE WTF!!! So I was like F-it, sold it all, got a 5dMkiii with an 85mm prime and a 50mm prime, and started doing photojournalism for the town newspaper. At least I got paid for that.
