[@robertscarpone2764]

Can't stop laughing at the Polar Bear! Looks like a Newark species that traveled up the Passaic River. 🐻‍❄ 🐻‍❄ 🐻‍❄

[@BayouJosh]

Well that is the nicest thing ever!!! I especially love the moose and Polar bear footage. world class! 😄 You're the best!

[@ogonzilla]

Keep inspiring patience in me !! Cheers.

[@judilecompte9377]

LOVE Bayou Josh!

[@jdam28k]

Bayou Josh is so good, his videos are therapy.

[@timbliss8777]

Bayou Josh and Morten Hilmer are the go to wildlife channels for me. Amazing photographers and amazing videos.

[@filipradic5065]

Somebody was watching Kasey :)

[@victorlim5077]

The Flying Squirrel shot 👍

[@brandonprescott5753]

Wow amazing colours. Great video. You are a ⭐️.

[@marksnellingphotography]

Omar Attenborough goes wild

[@JasonLorette]

I chuckle every time I see the polar bears...in NJ, ha ha!

[@europlatus]

Don't believe the view count, this is one of my favourites. Had a good chuckle each time you snapped the polar bear.

[@tomheim9516]

The robin photos are outstanding - nicely done!

[@TesseracMedia]

Nice change up. Liked this video

[@simonwilliams2109]

Thanks Omar.

[@scottyharp]

That decisive moment at 2:48!

[@94Ninsound94]

I'm tired of you Omar 🤣 every polar bear stock footage got me laughing. Thanks for the video.

[@HumanClouds]

Beautiful!

[@Bonjurro]

Can’t believe you couldn’t get Moe out there in a Big Bird costume

[@nikoloztheseventh]

You always make my day. I mean the goodness coming from your videos means a much. You do so lightweight and easy that I consider you as my friend. 💯

[@dylanjames2213]

🤣🤣🤣 at the polar bear

[@fabiocunhaphoto]

As always an amazing video.

[@mrkopecky]

Nice shoutout and polar bears don’t look too far away with the 300 pf.

[@paulm8157]

Cool shots. Love the famous New Jersey Polar Bear😁.

[@felixifloresrodriquez3306]

Omar I thought you were not allow outside🤣🤣🤣🤣 love your content as always superb. I just ordered a Nikon 300mm af-s thanks for sharing your journey.

[@danielschmaderer]

Did you just mention Bayou Josh? That guy is such an awesome bird photographer. Also, your photos came out really good. Way better than mine I took today.

[@kimcalvert332]

Check out Michelle Valberg!!

[@johnyoung1606]

Some Great Photos !! When I started my Pro Work ,, the Old guys who shot nearly WEEGEE Days would say to me some times a blind squirrel can find a nut :) :) But add video (like tying an arm behind your back)

[@RicardoYamamoto]

That polar bear! 🤣🤣🤣

[@matthewwells1606]

The snow looks so beautiful! I'm glad you got out to enjoy it. Sometimes I miss it, for maybe a few minutes, but today I'm in shorts with a high of 78. No regerts.

[@8bitofit359]

Yooooo wth. I was just looking for some nikon z + 300 pf action the other day and did not find much. Now our boy omar drops a video about it. 👈👈😉

[@tonytfuntek3262]

Was that the Hackensack polar bear ? Very rare in northern NJ ...lol Thanks for the videos you do. PS...I shoot with the Nikkor 80-400 f4.5 - 5.6 for wildlife and it seems to working out well. Now If I can only get the wildlife to cooperate so I can get better shots.

[@grosema]

always enjoy your company...even if I dont shoot Nikon .... Fuji GFX 100 Rocks

[@davecrissinger8967]

I carry the Nikon D500 with the Nikkor 200-500mm, and I have my Fuji xt2 with a Nikkor 24mm 2.8 ais and adapter also on walks.

[@PhilipSalen]

Was that an Alces alces omarensis early in the video? Great video and jokes TY!

[@cesarm8811]

Hi Omar, always enjoy your videos. You should check out several of these bird and wildlife photographer. Mark Smith, Steve Mattheis, Steve Perry and Duade Paton. And BTW Bayou Josh is also awesome. Look forward to your next video.

[@jamesspicewilliams8835]

Best thing about this vid was seeing your wife. It was a first for me Omar. What a lovely spirit has. I'm launching a channel soon. Any lessons learned you would like to pass on.

[@CrisConstantin]

Wow but the polar bears, man. They come so far😂. Great video, my friend👍 You should try the 200-500. I love it

[@nh-ss5pw]

thumbs up ⬆

[@richardfink7666]

very entertaining

[@felixdamith1]

Very interesting that you took wildlife … always there is a starting point .. I think the good thing is composition and camera you are familiar with … all you need is patience for the wildlife to show up … I think that’s the biggest thing with being wild ..have a good day … enjoyed your videos

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Not bad for a wildlife newbie! I especially liked the dark-eyed junco, one of my favorite migratory birds. One thing with bird photos: you want clear shots of the beak. The robin photo was well-exposed but its beak was blocked by the berries. OTOH the New Jersey Polar Bear is a rare sighting indeed! Prime vs zoom IMO comes down to image quality & speed vs portability and affordability. I like to handhold and walk when I'm birding, so it's zoom for me. For those who stake out a spot with lens on tripod (plus have more money to spend), primes are the way to go.

[@tdalton854]

Just got a used 300PF f4 and really like it. So lite and compact with the Z6II. Have to get a TC14 also. And then I guess a Z7 too. 🙂

[@tdalton854]

Also meant to say thanks for pointing us to Bayou Josh. Just finished a couple of his vids. Love them.

[@JABloch]

I think those polar bears the NJ dept of wildlife brought in may help with the deer overpopulation.

[@marvinkuhn2873]

Just amazing seeing you trying new stuff. to improve the images, try to enhance the catchlight in the eye

[@vic_the_roman]

Those Jersey Polar bears ! 🤣

[@omarmartinez639]

Not bad tocayo!.... You should see the gang of Gators I photographed Sunday when it got a little cold here in FL (48 F)...some people were dressed just like you in this vid...jejeje

[@cotswoldphotographers]

Lovely video Omar and you always manage to make me laugh so thank you 🙏 I agree it’s a big debate over prime vs zoom. It does help with a high megapixel camera to have the flexibility with a lens such as a 300 PF and I think it’s a great combo. However I also agree with the camp in the 100-400 or 200-500 zooms and having the flexibility when you’ve not got 45MPs to play with is a god send. I chose the 500PF because I’ve only got 24MPs and cropping is limited so went with the longer prime to save weight over 200-500. Always a trade off somewhere along the line 😂

[@photorox]

I wish we were friend :) Great video Omar !

[@al404]

I also have a Nikon Z7 and I would like to try some bird / wildlife photography but I can't really find any recent video about how to setup AF and if it is "easy" without bird / animal detection

[@vicsanchez7034]

Y el osito?? Lol 😂

[@prit04]

Bwahahaha Polar bear. Only thing you missed are the penguins

[@ogonzilla]

Cmon. There’s no penguins in NJ! 😉

[@wojtekw6040]

Finally 300mm pro lens in pro hands. To: National geographic Start begging for an interview with Omar

[@DjCjFoto]

I had 300pf/TC14 on Z50 last winter, but I sold them thinking about incoming 100-400s, which I didn't receive yet. I've got now z7II, and watching you with that lens, man it's so tempting, there is nothing to beat that combo in size/reach department. I'm having hard time, especially, that 100-400s will cost me almost twice as much money.

[@matthewwells1606]

You won't regret the 100-400. That's what I use with my Z7ii. Very nice lens.

[@DjCjFoto]

@@matthewwells1606 I'm hearing nothing than good news about it...thanks for reply!

[@markyteo]

Looks like Omar took a leaf off Camera Conspiracies' book 😂

[@anlsahal4147]

I am considering to get a 85 prime for street photography and maybe for portraits. Is it a good idea to buy a 85mm 1.8D for a Z series body? No autofocus I know but half the price of the G one. I already have a 50G and 24-35 Sigma and in need of a little longer reach. Thanks.

[@sassy4u788]

where in New Jersey is this location?

[@ajahaliguyon700]

Random request but can you make a video of xt20 vs xt30 is 2022. And if the xt20 is good as of 2022

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

legend has it, she is not Oscar's wife, but he paid her to pretend for the video not to end too creepy and not get sued :)

[@juangamazo5781]

My wife use to terrify me too, I would wave and she didn't respond!? She wasn't wearing her glasses.

[@jeffross9620]

I spent 55 years in the NY/NJ area - now retired in Cave Creek, AZ where temps are between low 40's - high 60's with a 70 degree day or two thrown in (most days now). I think you did a great job. When I first became interested in wildlife, I bought a bridge camera with a tremendous zoom and although detail wasn't terrific, it was good enough. Can you give me a rough idea of what are of NJ you took most of the shots? Keep up the good work!

[@flohh]

Polar bear in NJ lol?

[@christopherrodriguez7223]

Do what the pros do, get a z9.

[@janivauhkonen]

i have money so out of stock that describes nature and animals fuji xt4 and old pentax 400mm And and of course bugs with a macro lens

[@JanneRanta]

I see you captured the elusive New Jersey polar bears. Ok, but would've been better if you got the New Jersey blue whale.

[@SundayRacers]

If you get eaten by the polar bear, can I have your Z7. That's if the Z7 doesn't get eaten too

[@tor2919]

Great video. Also check out Morten Hilmer’s channel for mega relaxing wildlife. I think, perhaps, that F mount lenses only stabilise in 3 axis as opposed to 5 axis with native Z lenses? Believe it’s the same with EF/RF.

[@ogonzilla]

Oh he’s world class. Maybe I should camp out in the snow. 🤔

[@orshanti]

polar bear??? wtf???

[@laragwaysailoilo2898]

Is Nikon for the blind..hahaha

[@jmartin9865]

After watching your videos for years, you seem so out of place in the outdoors!

[@manugeee]

The polar bear. 🤣😉 his first appearance was well placed, so nobody but me noticed it. Yes! Just me. It’s real. You can believe me. 😉 the elk as well btw. 🥸
