Hard REALITY of BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY // Birds of prey in snow

[@trondwestby]

What are your struggles in bird photography ?

[@bolleolympus]

Ingenting! Lager meg middag osv i mitt Selby 300. Har funnet ut at det beste er å ha på radioen og sitte fullt synlig i døra uten kamuflasje. De kommer alltid...

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

finding new places to explore, I have been doing it since I was 10 and have been to every state park within 6 hours of me. I need to get out west more and explore those parks for new opportunities.

[@jamesbarnes3063]

With a bad knee it is getting out,lol. Knee replacement surgery next month and 2 months later I am on the hunt

[@trondwestby]

Ohh...thats not good. Good luck with surgery! @@jamesbarnes3063

[@norskattforfun8575]

Finding new places but I have a holiday coming up where I’ll hopefully see some migratory sea birds 🤞

[@LouisaLee63]

You can repeat taking photos of any bird as often as you want to as far as I am concerned! Your photos and videos are unique and beautiful every time. Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@trondwestby]

Wow.....thank you for your kind compliment.

[@alanmacleay6213]

Amazing seeing the Goshawk breathing in the snow in lovely light. Great captures of the buzzard interaction as well. Lovely work as always!

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much Alan! So glad you liked it.

[@kevins8575]

Never forget your long-time subjects. They will always reward you with new poses and backgrounds.

[@trondwestby]

So agree! Thanks for watching.

[@laurelb8372]

Wonderful to watch your videos, you look so happy out in nature, beautiful images 👏

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much!

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

It doesn't get any better than this, Trond. Stills and video are as nearly perfect as it is possible to get. You are there, Trond.

[@alanmacleay6213]

Sometimes its just good to be out in nature with the company of an old friend.

[@trondwestby]

So true!

[@dirkwaals2013]

The golden light with the goshawk, amazing 🤗😍

[@WildlifeOnFocus]

Nice Video ❤❤❤

[@martneervoort1442]

Again a great video with beautiful pictures.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much for your compliment.

[@andrass.2842]

The bird's breath looks fantastic! I photographed a sparrowhawk at a nature reserve near Bergen. The first time I saw, it, I was just walking when it landed on a rock about 20 meters from me. A few days ago I was walking in the same area when I stumbled upon it. It was just sitting on a rock while I was 10-15 meters away. I was taking pictures and moving and speaking. That bird just didn't care about my presence. It was feathering and keeping an eye on the skylarks. It's amazing to be so close!

[@trondwestby]

It is the best feeling :)

[@michalbroza1325]

WOW...

[@trondwestby]

🙌

[@peterwest9053]

What an amazing experience Trond, I've only had the opportunity to photograph a falconry Goshawk, but one day hopefully 🤞

[@mikes4408]

Wow! nice @wb2pics 😁

[@deanseldon5640]

It is always a joy to watch the videos here...the childlike glee , excitement and wonder filled eyes and expression of Trond Westby is something that is fascinating and infectious...superb video footage and snaps and the running commentary puts us right in the thick of action alongside this superb Birder...not to be missed.

Absolutely fantastic video once again Trond, love watching your videos and your photography is just spot on how delightful to watch the Goshawk and how lucky you were to photograph it, to say I'm a little envious is an understatement, great video and looking forward to your next trip. 👍

[@trondwestby]

Wow....what a lovely compliment. Thanks for your support. You should :)

[@NatureLenzPhoto]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@michaelwallwork7482]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You're a brilliant wildlife photographer, but I don't know how you cope in that tunnel hide. It makes me claustrophobic, just watching the vlog.

[@trondwestby]

Wow.....what a lovely feedback and support. Thank you :)

[@johnhjic2]

Hello Trod, Super images. But that was the first time I have heard of a CF Express card failed. Any thoughts on why.

[@trondwestby]

Hi John! Me too....Have no idea. Wish I knew.

[@chadkinsley542]

Gorgeous photos and video. I noticed you shot all of that using 3D is this your go to focus mode as I haven't even tried it? Do you utilize any of the other focus modes and if so for what type of scenarios? I have been using all area and find it jumps to the background often. Thanks for great content like always!

[@huseyinokyar6251]

Nice Job👍

[@rileybrown718]

Personally I love and at times prefer the up close images rather then the ones with lots of negative space

[@NickTheGreek-m3x]

Hi Trond! Which camera and lens combination do you suggest to beginers?

[@trondwestby]

I would choose a crop camera and maybe a 150-600 lense. You will get a great combo for the money :)

[@NickTheGreek-m3x]

@@trondwestby Thanks. Which camera do you suggest?

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

What is the mega pixel rating of your camera ?----Is it a Canon or NIKON ? What size lens ? 600 mm ?

[@Luontokuvaaja.Kalle.Larsson]

Is this tunnelhide yours own?

Made by a friend :)

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

Catch some mice in a barn or whatever. Then go out photographing birds of pray. Throw mice on the snow and wait.
