In the current era, better to go with Mirrorless camera. Since you do not have Nikon lens, it is as good as getting a new camera and lens. If it is wildlife, you should go for Sony. Sony A7 IV and Sony 200-600.

Dear Harish,

We do not have any flash photography course. But if you want to improve your photography then you need to get your fundamentals right. And also master the art of post processing. All these are there in the all-in-one course which you should subscribe.

The most important thing is to get the correct camera settings, basically the exposure, white balance, metering with exposure compensation and finally focusing. Once you master all these, you need to work on composition and finally post processing.

Rgds,
Sudhir

I would highly encourage you to get the Z lens rather than using an adapter. The 180-600 is a good lens.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

For telephoto fixed focal lens – You directly see what lens you are using. If it’s a 400mm f/2.8 lens, then focal length is 400mm. If it’s a zoom lens, then exif information in the image viewer will tell you.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

No issues. Most of the Canon DSLR menu is almost the same. You can refer the Canon 5D Mark IV course for your model.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Absolutely no issues.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Nope. That will not work. The whole purpose of custom white balance is to get a reference of white in that lighting situation. Depending on what WB you have kept the camera will calculate the values of that white paper in that lighting situation and give you a proper wb.
What you are proposing is to simply overexpose the scene you are shooting and that will not work.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Hope you have subscribed to my course. That’s the best way to start learning.

Hi Kiran, We do have a course on Photoshop here. Not sure how you missed it.

I have stopped using PS and now do my entire processing on LRC.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Just follow the tips I have shared in both wildlife course and the bird photography course. That should do.

Dear Krishna,

I have an entire chapter for this specific topic in the wildlife course:

Since you will have to buy the Nikon lenses as well, why don’t you consider Sony mirrorless and corresponding lens? For wildlife, nothing better than a Sony.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

I understand the Sony 24-70 f/2 lens is expensive. But have you considered the Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G?

[Sudhir Shivaram]

Avoid using the crop sensor. As you end up cropping the image for close-up and not get actual magnification. You need to study the MTF chart of the 100-400 lens and see how sharp it is and if it can take a TC and still give you sharp results.

[Sudhir Shivaram]

I do not see anything wrong in the photo. Looks good. If you are watching on phone, then depends on the screen display of the phone.
