"If you can't take photos of uncommon birds then take uncommon photos of common birds" ...Simon d'Entremont <br>VERY TRUE...I'm never disappointed, just being in nature is a privilege for me

If you told me last year i would be waking up early to go out and photograph birds, i would've laughed. After discovering your channel and learning more about photography and especially wildlife photography, i am hooked. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to your future videos.

Making uncommon photos from common subjects is probably the best photography advice that one could receive. Once again, thank you Simon!

I ran boat based nature/wildlife/photography tours for 25 years and clients with children would sometimes say, "My son or daughter wants to be a wildlife photographer, do you have any advice for them?" My most common answer would be, "Tell them to become a doctor, lawyer, stock broker, college professor, etc so they can earn a lot of money to buy expensive camera gear and travel to a lot of great wildlife areas during vacations. They will end up spending more time in the field taking great photos than most pros. If they won't listen and continue to want to be a pro wildlife photographer tell them to first go to a good secretarial school where they can learn typing, computer operation, and most important of all how to create functional filing systems for the tons and tons of paperwork they will be having to deal with. Having finally retired and reentered the world of non professional photography I am once again enjoying more great time in the field and a blessed absence of paperwork! The grass may look greener in the pro photo field but believe me when I say the real enjoyment of photography is experienced as an amateur with none of the hassles and tons more freedom to follow one’s photographic passion!

When i saw your channel first time i thought that you are probably a teacher or professor at some university, because your content is the most pedagogical, logical and understandable i ever seen. Thank you Simon!

This makes me chuckle to think that you're "retired". The time required for video editing always amazes me.

Simon. Greetings sir, I have those same speakers. The Sonos set up. Very nice sir. I’m just starting out. Picked up a r50 and kit bundle. I love the hobby and it has opened a world up to me.

I love when people think that YouTubers are just out shooting all day long. So much more goes into it
