a really long lens in broad daylight….. Your flash isn’t doing anything. Even at night with that long of a lens it would be barely noticeable if at all.
Great video, nice shots, wish it was warmer here in canada when I’m wading around in the water.
check out my video “life through my lens intro” on youtube, it’s my first try and I can only get better at filming, I only wish I had $30.000 dollars to spend on a video camera.
Hi SPOTGREEN ,I dont have a zoom, some shots I miss, yes, but I also get some ‘cos I dont have to zoom, so its swings and roundabouts.
I get a big range of focal lengths with converters and DX & FX bodies .
I use a 400mm 2.8 prime lens with 1.7x (gives f4.5) & 2.0x (gives f5.6) converters
With the 2.0x converter and DX body (1.5x sensor) I get 1200mm f5.6 !! awesome.
Ive got real fast at changing converters and bodies and I get a massive range from 400mm, 600mm, 680mm, 800mm, 1020mm, 1200mm.
great work mate…. i really like wild life photography… pity in malta we dont have much of it but would like to shoot in lake marion. Always keep in mine this….. NO GUTS NO GLORY

In the video I’m using a canon 1d mark IIn, I started photography with a Pentax K1000. I got serious when I got a Nikon 8008n and a 300mm lens

Hi, that is not me in the video…..I avoid swamps.
November 19th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
When you standing in a swamp how you cahnge bodies or converters? I didn’t se any of them with you! Not much easier just turn a zoom ring?
Other question? Why you shooting in continuous mode? Because its sounds better and not cost you, or do you use bracketing?

The 100-400mm Canon is a great lens to carry on your should for hand hold while the 500mm is on a tripod. That’s the way I did it for a while.
November 19th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
could you tell us your lense selection. I want to get into birding, and am looking at the 100-400mm zoom plus the 500mm canon
