I can certainly appreciate the disheartened feeling that you have been going through. I had over 2 weeks off from work over Christmas and the weather has been absolutely shite! It's so easy to get fed up. Today has been nice, cold and bright so my plan was to get out to a new location I'd been told about but then the guy who we have been waiting on to do some work in the house said he was available today!! Bloody typical. Praying that the weather holds for tomorrow and nothing else crops up to bugger up my plans. Best wishes and a belated happy new year.

Good to be outside, isn't it, Simon? We had several weeks with hardly any sunshine at all. Yesterday was cold but the sun was out so I took my camera to The Pond. Didn't get much, but I was outside and I enjoyed it. Today it was raining again so I set up my Hollywood Bird Set on the back porch, put out some peanuts and shot birds for a couple of hours. I just change the background props every few days and put in some different dead limbs and perches and it keeps my images looking fresh. I have a 500mm F4G lens like yours but I find myself using the 80-400 4.5 - 5.6 more and more. The versatility is great. I'm often shooting at 200 or 300mm, depending on the size of the birds I get. I'm only shooting at about ten feet so I have to back off for bluejays and cardinals. Anyway, I enjoyed your video. Those fieldfares are surprisingly similar to our American robin in size and shape but a good bit more colorful. If I got down on the ground to shoot like you do I'd never get back up. 😂

Great video Simon - always enjoy watching. Lovely shots of the birds feeding on the frosty apples. Really tells the story of survival of these birds during the winter. As for your next lens you’ve got a big prime so like you say something more portable is probably the way to go. Zooms are convenient and useful for scouting and walkabouts. 100-400 ? 300 2.8 would also be excellent. Today I just picked up a used 600 f4 IS vi for my R5. Can’t wait for the weekend to get out. This lens is definitely not hand holdable or for scouting! Can’t justify the money for newer versions of the big whites but my test shots of this lens looked great so we will give it a go. I have an rf 100-500 which is awesome but there is no substitute for big primes. Take care and looking forward to your next adventure. P.S. haven’t seen any figs for a while….. 😉 Scott

Hi Simon. Thanks for a video in the sun for a change🤣 It's been pretty horrendous hasn't it! Frankly, I'd stay away from the 200-400. Although it produces fantastic results at close distances as from a hide, they are known to have autofocus accuracy issues for anything over about 20-30m. I had the mk1 version. It was so bad for distance shots, it was literally useless!! Auto focus fine tune wouldn't correct it. May be I just had a particularly bad copy, who knows? The z100-400 sounds like a much better option. It is very light, easy to hand hold and carry about. It's ultra sharp and has the right mount. It can focus very close 2.5-3ft depending on the focal length, so great for butterflies, dragonflies etc. It's design has been optimised for use with the z mount. It'll fit easily in your gear bag with all your other stuff, so great versatility. Looking forward to the next video Simon👌👍

If it were me I'd wait to see what the next lens releases are, I have the 400mm 4.5 and 800mm PF and both are superb. I'm waiting on the 200-600mm to provide a flexible zoom option. The Z lenses for me are the way forward, I used to love my 300mm 2.8 but having used the z lenses the older tech feels much more unbalanced and noisy compared to the new stuff. But appreciate cost, using a tripod, fast galss etc can be a factor. The z9 with 3.01 is superb, Nikon have really stepped up, the lens innovation is very exciting for nikon users.

@@simoneardley That's one thing I miss on the D500 for photographing wildfowl etc.. It works okay on slow moving subjects but it's a bit of a challenge when the subject is moving across your frame, i.e., Wildfowl. I have managed to get decent shots using that technique and the the blurred water always gives much better looking images so next time I try it, I will use my small robust tripod so I'm not struggling to keep the AF point on the subject.

@simoneardley Жыл бұрын
Hi Chad, the OM1 was amazing especially coupled with that lens but it was the depth of field that did it for me and lens choice. Any full frame dslr or mirrorless will give you much more favourable results in terms of bokeh with a fast prime lens. Also the extra resolution is a bonus for cropping. Im missing the size of the OM1 though and reach but i knew that when I changed back. Theres a compromise with every system.
