Another great point about the “normal” species. If you are sharing your photos with an international or even national audience, just because it’s a common animal where you are doesn’t mean that it won’t be thoroughly enjoyed by a viewer where it is considered exotic.

Incredible advice from a master photographer! Oh the time I've wasted looking for the sharpest photos while ignoring all the ones that seemed to express something, making them all the more interesting. Simon, you never fail to give the most amazing techniques and advice. Thank you so much!

So true that most new wildlife enthusiasts like myself are hung up on the sharpest photo instead of the most interesting, I just loved this tutorial, thank you Simon

Thank you so much for this video. Especially the wind direction with birds and shooting in bad weather.

Some of the best and most useful advice I think I’ve heard from a YT photography channel. Thanks for sharing.

We have about 4 osprey families in the neighborhood. Has gotten to the point where I don’t pay attention as I havev1000’s of pics. Your advice to keep taking pictures made me think. I don’t have the Osprey fishing yet, and thinking about the lighting on them….well, you just made them exciting again. Thanks for all your tips.

One of my most fav birds to shoot in my backyard are the little Chickadees :). Even the Junco, which is my most frequent visitor right now are wonderful to shoot!!

i love wind to smell approach and the perspective from common and uncommon

Fantastic advice! The best tip you gave, for me, is, don't look for the sharpest, look for the interesting, expressive ones. My photos are never that sharp so I already have a head start on that, lol! I love backlit wildlife too and have done it by accident (just grabbing the shot because most are taken on the dog walk and I don't get chance to plan!) and always been really pleased with those shots. My challenge to myself, is to capture a bird's breath in the air.... I love your image of that.

Really interesting video Simon, also great to have a reminder about not neglecting the common species. Very easy to stay home thinking there's nothing to image with a garden full of birds outside👍

These have been incredibly helpful. I’ve wanted to get a photo of a large white-tailed buck without distracting trees which is tough to do where I live given the deer stick to the woods. I finally had a chance to photograph a large buck in velvet last weekend. I nearly sprinted across a field to reposition myself to good side light and he eventually walked up and I got a beautiful pic that makes his antlers look like they’re glowing!

I finally found the real deal on photography tutorials.
Tyvm, Sir!

Even if the background is not ideal your tips just allowed me to take my best photo to date of ducks in flight and really close, not even 20m away. Was really happy once at home reviewing them. Among a bunch of nearly on focus ones, there she was, gold, tack sharp and great pose. Made the two hours out in the cold worth every second.

Hi Simon, happy to hear and learn from your videos

[TwitchyClipsOfficial]

I think the duck would be saying “brrrr it’s chilly 🥶🦆”

[guybob]

Great Tips! Getting over the hunt for the sharpest picture of a set was and is still a hurdle for me!

[Eigil_Skovgaard]

I like the tricks. You make it sound so easy, Simon. I wish I had the eastern Canada as my back yard. Seriously, it's not an excuse for taking average bird photos. Your birds look absolutely fantastic.

[maximusprime]

The most amazing tips i have encountered for so many videos on YouTube. Thank you so much. I love your photos. Wonderful job. 💪

That’s why I like playing with gulls they let you get close a work with your skill set. We are in rural Oregon about a mile from the coast, so we see a lot of different birds.
