OMG Steve, I purchased your 531 page BIF Ebook and I'm only on page 168 so far and seriously... I'm struggling to put it down, or rather I never want it to end. It feels like you know me and have personally written it just for me. It's absolutely fantastic and for anyone thinking about "should I get it" stop thinking and just go on faith. 

I know this video is also excellent, but firstly there's so much more great content in the book and secondly, reading rather than watching and listening to someone else, just helps you retain information so much easier. Steve, I've got an R6 MKII and your info has got light bulb moments going off for me everywhere. 

I just had to pause reading and let you know how priceless your book is and tomorrow is going to be the best photography day for me since starting about 7 months ago and I'm seriously excited about putting what I've learnt from you into practice, so thanks millions 👍

the BEST REAL Guide/Mentor on youtube.... !!!

You can take 54 minutes to watch this three times over and take it all in. Or you can watch an hour of other folks' videos on this subject and learn half as much. Your choice.

Steve's books on metering and exposure as well ad the deep dive into auto focus for Nikon cameras are fantastic. Highly recommended.

[lescobrandon]

Once again, I knew everything about a subject... then Steve Perry adds so much great tip info about a subject that I feel reborn.

To be honest, I find most bird photography to be dull and boring... but yours are on another level, exceptionally good. Great stuff.

[Groucherino]

Huge amount of brilliant advice as ever Steve. Even those of us who have been doing this a good while need to listen here, makes you realise where there is room for improvement! Thanks for a great channel.

This is the video I have always been waiting for. Every time I watch your reviews or videos I feel, man! I wish I could take such beautiful photos, these tips will go a long way in my bird photography. Thanks.

[Subfrequenz]

This is truly a fantastic overview! I've learnt a lot of this by watching loads of videos, trying things out with my camera and scratching my head. The fact that you've distilled so much into one video is very generous. Thanks for sharing!

[raymondjunkjr]

Steve, your videos are absolutely the best! I can't get enough of them - in fact, I find myself re-watching many. Thanks for all you do!

[LadStrayer]

I've been a professional photographer since the early 80's. over the last 8 or so years I've done a lot of bird photography and find you information well presented and spot on.

[harpreetkambo]

I can’t believe how people like Steve spend hours to make such useful and educative videos that are so much useful to beginners like me. I bought NikonD7500 about 2 years ago based on recommendation from one of Steve’s video. Since that day I’m in love with Photography. Thank you Steve!

[glennryan]

Even as long as I've been shooting I always learn something new from your videos. You're a great educator! Thank you.

[janiceedge]

You are an incredible photographer, AND an excellent teacher. I love your videos. Thanks!

[matthewbell]

Thanks Steve you're a font of knowledge and your sharing of it is much appreciated by so many!

[RitwickSatyaki-wqnk]

Your videos always help me become better. 2 days ago I used some of your tips and my photographs are significantly better now.

[PINTIE]

Great video, great tips..thanks for that really helpful..

[kunal]

Steve! I was just in Scotland and by following not just this video but your Sony camera settings ebook I had such a great time and way more keepers than I would usually had. I found myself using manual mode and all the custom button settings as recommended by you almost intuitively. Thank you so much!

[rgarlinyc]

Wonderful stuff - you managed to cram so much valuable stuff into about 20 mins, I am both very impressed and very grateful!
