    Thank you for this. I was missing the good old days with you being on the field whithout gear reviews, just sharing your joy when doing what you love. I believe gear reviews is what "sells" nowadays but I enjoy much more watching your videos when you're outside and taking photos! Cheers!
  • @NECPER
    I absolutely prefer you being out with the camera - explaining your techniques. This video is particularly good - not too long (videos more than 20 minutes I usually postpone) and demonstrating one very important principle. I just got surgery with a new full right knee, so I will not get on the ground in the next few months. Our swans are white, but I found black swans i France that I photographed. They must have been imported by sailors centuries ago, I suspect. Thanks for sharing your easy-to-understand demonstration video. / Per Christensen, Denmark
  • @norbert_engel
    Great bite-sized masterclass:) Looking forward to many more!
  • @jamesmathews1640
    Love this content. I hope you do many more. You're a great teacher with your simple straight forward approach to the subject.
  • Love your field videos Duade. Spot on as usual, and the love for birds shines through. A tip I use for birds in trees. 1. Back up and use your long lens to.decrease the angle the bird is up from you. 2. If you can place yourself on a hillside that is above the bird, you can in effect shoot at eye level. Canopy boardwalks are also great.
  • @helios6379
    I really enjoy this type of content, Duade! I sure hope you'll bring more of it in the future. Thank you!
  • @twodogs2009
    Thanks mate. Always a pleasure to be guided by you.
  • As a learning photographer I am very excited to follow along with this series! I actually found your channel through your wonderful gear reviews, and I loved your perspective and how detailed you were, as well as your field testing. It helped me to decide on a few major gear upgrades for myself! Now that I have my new gear I'm excited to follow along your masterclass and learn how improve my techniques! Birding and bird photography is such a wonderful hobby and I'm glad I found a community of people who share that passion!
  • @shahg5524
    Great Masterclass Duade. 👍 love this content and also more field trips that also provide inspections, ideas and tips for wildlife photography. 👌
  • Today I got over my ego at "looking silly crawling about on the ground. . ." - and was able to get some of the best shots I've managed so far in my short dabbling in photographing wildlife. Putting the viewer at the level of the subject is so obvious in other photography "genres" that I'm honestly kicking myself for appreciating that the same would apply to wildlife photography. . . .accordingly, I went to TARGET and grabbed a nice "mud ensemble" for my next outing.
  • @benoutside7593
    I really enjoyed this video! This is the kind of videos that drew me to your channel. I appreciate the new gear reviews, but the how to videos are my favorite. I also enjoy seeing you use the older gear and the results. Great bird images and videos!
  • @futtbugly5986
    I'm happy that you were actually able to get your hands on the elusive 200-800mm.😊
  • @marcmurison
    Love this form of content! A master class in a series of episodes is a great idea! Thanks big time, as always.
  • @ChucoHiker
    Great video! I really like the short and informative format, but really it’s your enthusiasm that adds that extra touch of enjoyability. It’s contagious and brings us along for the ride!
