Aperture Priority and Auto ISO for Wildlife Photography

Nice job on this tutorial!

Love this video. I am a beginner. In my hubris started in manual and screwed up multiple pics. Usually underexposed. Now use Aperture Priority with Auto ISO.

Honestly I highly dont recommend auto ISO. I shoot on the Canon R5 and Canon 80D. I used to use auto ISO for wildlife for couple years when I started out. I typically mainly photograph white-tailed deer using single spot metering. With auto ISO it almost doesnt seem to matter on the lighting conditions. I will always almost always blow out the white fur on the deer. I now only use full manual for all settings on my cameras. I think the best way to learn what ISO you need is by trying different ISO settings out as you go along your day in the field. You eventually will just know in your head what ISO you need for any given lighting situation. Sure it takes longer to learn this way but its a more sound way of knowing your settings. As in aperture priority. I can see uses for that but I definitely wouldn't recommend that mode either if youre shooting birds or birds in flight. You'll get a lot of blurry photos generally. Anyways great channel. Love all the info and I have subscribed!
