Nice scenes, also a good one: You can have all the gear but you’ve got to have it here! 🙂

I've always been a Canon fan and have been using their gear for many years now. Then I decided to get into Macro photography. Got myself an Olympus mark ii after reading some good feedback on it and the 60mm f2.8 macro. Boy that combo makes such nice photos. Then I decided to try it for portrait, and I was mesmerised by the colours produced by such an old body and a normal lense (not pro line). I then thought, why not try it for wildlife? That's when I came across your channel. Long story short, I ordered the 300mm F4 and tried it on the mark ii and was extremely impressed by the quality of the photos, I then ended up buying the OM1 and that's now my new go-to set for wildlife and I'm keeping the mark ii for macro. I will get rid of my Canon gear and will never look back. Thank you so much for the effort and sharing with us your knowledge. I'm now hooked on your channel, mainly because of your character, passion for WL photography and your humility.

Very similar story to me except I was a Nikon man.

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching the Black-necked Grebe. We have them here in California, but they’re named Eared Grebes, for their dramatic mating plumage.

A Black-necked grebe has turned up at one of my local reserves, thanks mike you have inspired me as the Short Eared Owls are not showing well in this weather. Great shots and footage 👍

Hi Mike. Thanks for sharing this new video. For similar shooting locations, I'm using a "Walkstool" with the three legs in collapsed position / one only, larger, contact point with the ground, which not only grants me a lower position but is perfect on sloping, even rocky banks, and allows me to easily adjust position, shoot left/right without losing balance, just pushing on my legs. The only requirement for a comfortable use is to find solid/stable position for my feet. Enjoy your outings. Vic.

Looks interesting. Interesting price at Wex too. £105 for the delux version.
@vicmassart69339 ай бұрын
depending on the model/size you choose (I went for the smallest/shortest i.e. 28cm from the ground with collapsed legs), might be wise to train sitting and getting up on a soft and safe place first, with nothing in the hands or around the neck, before venturing to sloping rocky ones . . . @@MikeLaneFRPS

Nice info about your tripod heads, Mike. I believe that is the same bird that we call a pied-bill grebe here in the US. We have one that stops by frequently at The Pond. I enjoy watching it dive down to be bottom and come up with a crawfish. Very hard to get an interesting picture because it always moves away toward the middle of The Pond when I am around with my camera. About the most interesting shot I can think of would be an underwater shot.

Thanks for sharing Mike, great slow-mo. Have you looked at one of those seats that are ground seats with a back and no legs?

Yes I have seen them. It is possible to have too much gear and I am guilty of it!

Great footage Mike, as usual. Looks very dabchicky. How does it compare to a dabchick in terms of size?
