Do THIS to make different bird pictures // BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY with slow shutter speed

[@paulmartin8633]

In the winter I put up a bird hide on my property, feeders in the woods. Also, Raptors are great along with owls. Road kill is always good in winter, railways are great for finding carcasses, often brings in scavengers

[@MySamarIslandAdventures]

amazing photos specially with slow shutter speed

[@garyverstick1620]

What a hearty little bird. Thanx for bringing him to us.

Hi Trond my god the dedication to go out in freezing weather to get some images and boy you get some stunning images, unfortunately I'm to old to be running around in the cold now but I love watching guys like you go out in all weather's so thank you for the entertainment. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend and if we don't see you before have a great Christmas and New year.

I love Dippers. I know I bo not havemeany memorise for my younger bay. (Long story) but I do remember going down to the river side with an borrowed Zenth E and a 135mm lenses trying to take images of Dippers and Nuthatches. Looking back a bit optimistic.

[@Henry30065]

Beautiful photos of dippers on ice covered stones in freezing cold water. You go to extraordinary lengths to get the perfect shot. You appeared to be almost frozen solid🥶 - I felt cold just watching you. Well done once again Trond! Alun

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much Alun! So glad you liket them. It was a bit cold indeed :)

[@jochencrazy4pix232]

Dippers are great to watch. I'm glad the river here is not that wide and not that far from my home. So i can get some nice pictures already with 400mm 🙂 As we don't have that much snow here I'm waiting for spring , the breading season so the Dippers stay more at the same place and are more active finding food . And it's not that freezing cold 🙂🥶

[@TBuanes_Photography]

amazing work Trond. Those slow shots was amazing. I will try this next time I visit "my" dipper family that lives not far from me here and try to get som nice shots with slow shutterspeed. Great idea :D Love your shots in this video and must say that my favorite of todays video is the one where the dipper stands towards the camera in the water and looks upwards.. That was absolutely beautiful. Great work Trond :D

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot buddy! :)

[@RichardBirchett]

Lovely video Trond and the images at the end were fantastic, I totally agree Dipper shots with slow shutter speeds are the way to go and create such impacting pictures. Lovely video, you looked cold even in the puffer jacket, lol.. cheers R 👍

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

These photographs all have the WOW factor, Trond. Beautiful captures and beautifully processed. You have come a long way, Trond, and the more you shoot the better your work gets. Probably a lot of that stems from your enthusiasm for "being out there". I got my best wildlife photographs ever while sitting on my soft comfy couch, said no one ever. 🤣

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Been a while since I've seen a post by you, Tron, so I watched this one again tonight. Some of the best work you have done. I haven't been out much for a couple of weeks. Temp has been down in the 30s and low 40s F with rain and wind. But I did post a couple of shots of ducks in flight from the days when I could get out. That cold wet weather makes the more moderate days and the images you capture even sweeter.

Very nice! It is not easy to get sharp wildlife images with slow shutter speeds used to enhance the perception of the flow of the water (especially in one shot). Well executed.

Beautiful shots a always Trond. The hours you must spend waiting for such photos must run into their hundreds, it took me every hour I could spare for about ten years just to get a few shots of the common kingfisher that I was happy with. I was intrigued with the camera accessory you had around your camera body, and was it some sort of damage protection device ? would be interested in something similar for a d500. Merry Christmas to you Trond 🎄

Hey Trond, beautiful images and scenery with the drone. The Dipper is amazing such a small bird able to handle the current of the water and so fun to watch them Bob and swim! Wre you using manual or shutter priority? Have a great Christmas 🎄 Greg

Nice video with amazing footage as always Trond! One quick question. If you would have to choose the Z6 II or the Z7 II for Birdphotography, which one would you choose? And dont say Z9 😝

Thank you so much! Haha....I will not ;) I would go for the Z6 II. The reason is the Z6 has cleaner images. Better quality in low light. :)

To be honest the video was painful. I can see why you left the images till the end to get folk to watch the full video but the vid was called bird photography not Trond drivels on about his first encounter with a Dipper. The photographs were stunning though. It's something I am also experimenting with. But you nailed it here.
