Nice! I have the same setup and loving it, although I wouldn't mind an A1 just for more cropping. It's interesting to see the heron up in the trees, here in SoCal I only see them by the rivers and wetlands. Good job brother!
Thanks man! Yeah definitely having fun with this setup. Being in the Pacific Northwest makes it way more interesting. I came up here from SoCal 3 years ago
I REALLY enjoyed that!! The greenery is BEAUTIFUL!!
Thanks! All the comments are definitely motivating to keep going. Appreciate the comment
@@PacWestPhoto Please do keep going! I'm an amateur wildlife photographer, and I learn so much from videos like yours!!
Your channel is so underrated. Keep it up!
thanks, im trying! ha just need this weather to cooperate, brrrrr
Awesome Vlog! I’m excited to see pictures!
Thanks! This one was fun
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
4:47 Hey dude, did you use optical zooming to focus the subject while taking the picture? or what was that?
Hey, yes thats exacctly what I did. it really helps when at 600mm. have you tried it before? its easy to setup in camera
@@PacWestPhoto i was unaware of that feature until i saw your video. im new to sony camera, i just jumped from a 15yo nikon dslr. focus magnifier feature is really really good! thanks mate!
Super broooo ❤❤❤ Im really interest with pgotography
thanks brother!
great video and commentary
Thanks a mill - Appreciate it!
Hi, I am wondering how this compares to the Tamron 150-500mm as far as stabilization? Also, Does your body have bird eye focus setting? I have the a7siii, but I am wondering if the 17siii or a6700 (with birds eye) would be better... Any opinions, appreciate it!
Hey good questions! I have used both lenses and can say that I di enjoy the internal zoom factor of the Sony - stays balanced, less moving parts and pieces and the waterproofing aspect made the purchase worth it for me.
as for the body, I have the a7iv - and I have zero complaints! such a well rounded camera! bird eye tracking, animal tracking and the video af capabilities are also fantastic. being able to switch between super aps-c and full frame is fun if youre into that - the a6700 does come with focus bracketing features that are only found in the a7RV so if you might be wanting that feature you might want to have a look
Thanks soooo much. Looking for one to travel with, so maybe Tamron is a better size - maybe even the tamron 400mm. Hopefully the upcoming a7siii update comes with an update for Bird's eye autofocus. @@PacWestPhoto
I'm a fan of Tamron and have a few of their lenses - Sigma Also has the new 500mm... That's also very compact
Yes, am considering the 50-400mm and the 150-500mm Tamron. I was keen on the former, but someone reviewed saying they 150-500mm is much better with autofocus... Hard to tell without actually trying.@@PacWestPhoto
hell friend ,cropping photos ,pixel and megabits reduce too? can you tell me
are you asking about quality issues after cropping?
yes @@PacWestPhoto
nice brother❤
thanks brother ☝️
What stabilization mode were you using?
Mode 1 - I'm pretty new to this lens. at 600mm requires a lot of attention, even with the tripod I've noticed
@@PacWestPhoto what about on the body, only ibis?
correct - mode 1 with ibis - Sony A7iv
overall, very happy with the setup - just need more time behind it tbh
Ditch the tripod and get a strap. I recommend the Black Rapid Curve Breathe Classic Strap. If you do keep using tripod try turning off IBIS. When the camera is fixed and not moving the IBIS can actual cause motion blur.
Great advice! Thanks. Anything else? Like I said I’m new to this lens
In my opinion this lens works best at any speed above 1/1250 and I like using f7.1@@PacWestPhoto
I’ll try that out - I’ll also look into the strap. The tripod is a bear to lug around anyways. Good call on that

Awesome! Thanks I’ll look at these today. Much appreciated!
hi, what is your shutter speed at 600mm ?
I usually start with 1200 on the low end. thats usually the sweet spot for this lens. if my subject is really still i may try at 500
You’re answering shutter speed questions in millimeters? Okay.
@@JCCamp you win some, you lose some haha but yes 1200+ at 7.1 usually produce the best results for me at 600mm and adjust iso accordingly
Goodluck
Thanks
