How To Get the Best Image Quality for Free

Really good that you demonstrate that you don't need the latest gear and spend the huge sums of money to get great images.

Duade, I’m a long time fan and really enjoying these master classes. You always make me think. I actually hear your voice in my head sometimes saying, “ where else would you want to be !” I shoot the R5 100-500 and do struggle in early morning light, but I’ve used your tips to continually improve. One thing that has dawned on me recently is to pull back the lens to about 420 mm to get an aperture of 6.3. I’m also trying to get better at handholding with lower shutter speeds, which is a challenge for me. The other challenge I have is to not take the shot if the conditions aren’t right and to just try and enjoy the experience. Cheers from a random little town in the USA!

WOW - with a Canon 40D!!! Makes me rethink upgrading my old Canon EOS R!

Great video again Duade. These fundamental concepts videos are very valuable.

Great video Duade!

I just know it’s a good day when you upload, your videos are truly exceptional good!

Excellent video! Really enjoy these Master Class videos. Hope you keep them coming. I think seeing you work with the 40D and demonstrating how you can still get nice images with the older camera by using your tips and advice is what makes them very interesting and encouraging for newer photographers.

More fantastic guidance and insight into photography Duade - Thank you so much. I'm even more excited about your posts these days as I have a four week driving vacation to Western Australia planned for Late June (Starting in Perth and driving up the coast to Exmouth) So as you can imagine I am really looking forward to the wonderful Australian light rather than struggling through our English Summer of cloud and rain. Thanks for all the tips!!

I love the down to earth way you find to show the technic. Verry effective.

Duade, thanks so much for this type of video. It's what led me to subscribe to your channel a year or two ago. I've shared them with friends on FB, and many of them have remarked how helpful they are. Really look forward to your videos that show how to approach some aspect of wildlife photography no matter what gear a person has!

Very good advice & tips. And a shout out to your old camera...super shots.

As always a good learning experience with you. Your combination of camera and lens just proves how important the lens is in photography. That's why I recommend that 2/3 of your budget should go towards objectives if you starting from scratch.

Another master class video Duade. These latest set of videos have been so informative & useful. Keep them coming. If you have time, could you do a video on how much post processing you do & the techniques you use. Many thanks again.

Really great educational video! Thanks for the tips

G'day Duade, all good arguments mate ! A nice video to watch while being stuck on a very windy and rainy day in Scotland .. even the BBC wonders "where has summer gone in Scotland" .. but it looks like things are improving the next days

Very helpful... I'll apply your suggestions tomorrow.

That was great 👍

Some very good tips, thank you

Brilliant series of tutorials Duade. That 40d always amazes me…

Great ideo as always Duade! What I really like about your videos is the RAW image out of the camera. It shows the power of post-processing when done right. I usually am disappointed by the images when I pull them out of the camera, but from your videos, I understood that you need to "help" you images standout. A 3rd perspective video, like this one, which shows you in the process of photography is always informative. I would love to see a video with tips on shooting smaller birds or birds in a canopy - my part of the woods has dense or tall trees and birds can only be seen in them.
