Bird Photography Challange | Nikon Z 400mm

Hi and welcome to yet anoter video! This video is all about getting as many spicies of birds on camera, photo or video, as possible in one day. How many do you think I can get? 10? 20? It's spring here in Sweden where I live and some migratory birds have returned. So let's see how many I get! I hope you enjoy this video!

Hi Thomas, thank you for taking me with you in exciting Natur reserves. The patience has paid off.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Christian! Glad you liked it. :)

Nice outing Thomas. Looked like a lot of fun.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Terry! It sure was a lot of fun! :)

[@ceralion1]

Gotta catch em all !!! :D Good job finding them and thank you for a very nice video

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Kenneth! Thank you! Hehe, indeed. I even catched a Fiskmås!! 😅

[@karenbergmann209]

Beautiful! Well done!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you very much Karen! 😀

[@AndyCuthbert]

Great stuff, Thomas 👏🏻👏🏻 Great challenge to get yourself out there and enjoy.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you Andy! It was a great day in the outdoors. :)

This is the kind of outing I love to do, so that was a really great video! I enjoyed seeing new species we don't get here in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State, USA) where it is also spring right now. Lots of migration and babies happening! That was a very successful day with lovely locations!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Juanita! Thank you, I had a lot of fun recording this video. Love birds. It's finally spring! I hope you can go out and enjoy it. :)

Hi Thomas, very nice video and beautiful footage of those birds! I noticed the bag you used for your z7 and 400mm lens. It looked comfortable and portable. Would you mind telling me the brand and model name? I have the same lens and I’ve been looking for small bag in which I can just put my z8 and my 400mm lens. Thank you!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you very much! It's from "Think Tank". But the model is an old one and can not be purchased anymore :/

Great video Thomas have myself been out shooting birds with my 400 4.5 and 1.4 converter and met and old friend who is master at bird photography so am picking up a few tips.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Donald and thank you! The 400mm f4.5 is really a great lens. If someone gave me a 400mm f2.8 I would probably sell it. The f4.5 is so light! Easy to handhold. Nice to hear that you enjoy your lens for bird photography! 😀

[@JimNilzon]

Härligt och avkopplande.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Tack så mycket Jim! :)

[@Cariboukid]

Congratulations, you made it to 30! I didn't think you would but you pulled it off. Way to go Vivian! Lol A Z8 would have come in handy a couple of times in your outing but you did well with your 7 :)

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi mike! My Z7 still delivers! ;) Have you been shooting with your new 20mm lens? :)

[@Cariboukid]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto It really does! My 7ii as well :) I put it back in the box the other day and I may return it. Nothing wrong with the lens but I think it was the wrong time for me to buy.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

I see. Nothing wrong with sending things back. I did it just a few days ago. :) Fist time with a Nikon product. Felt a bit wierd.

[@Cariboukid]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto Yes you did :) Strange feeling indeed! This will be a first for me too...and probably a last! 😄

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Let's hope so :)

[@helloyogeshpatel]

Hi what do you think in your experience with the modern camera high megapixel 100 to 400 or 400 MM is enough for bird photography

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi there! In my opinion 400mm is very good for bird photography. Remember that there is more ways to take photos of birds than just close ups (portraits). It's nice to show more of the environment around the bird. The 100-400 gives a lot of versatility. AND it takes teleconverters. :)

Hej Thomas! Ålsjön verkar vara en riktigt bra fågel/fotosjö. Jag ägnade den senaste veckan åt fågelfoto på Öland. Våren är här. Hälsningar Hans-Olof

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hej Hans- Olof! Gud vad härligt det låter, Öland! Hoppas du fick många fina bilder och upplevelser. :)

[@hans-olofsvensson4567]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto Ja tack det var en bra vecka. Jag har mina bilder på VERO under mitt tilltalsnamn.// Hans-Olof

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Härligt! Jag har varit på Öland några gånger på våren runt påsk. Väldigt mycket fåglar brukar det vara. :)

[@Ivarsvy]

Har du lagt en FN knapp att switcha mellan FX / DX för det där lilla extra reachen när det verkligen behövs?😁

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hallå! Jag går in i "I" menyn och ändrar. Men om det går med FN knapp så kommer jag prova det. Tack för tipset! :)

[@robertmellberg8881]

Härlig film ja våren är här om än lite sval.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Tack Robert! Imorgon kommer värmen. 🙂
