Very nice of your family and friends

[@markmay8942]

You had me on the edge of my seat rooting for the tired Osprey.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Yay!!!

[@eileenp9226]

With determination, the osprey got one. With your amazing talent, we can see mother nature up close and enjoy such beauty. Thank you!

[@ryanvalicek7291]

I can’t even imagine how much work you put in to get to this level. Awesome stuff.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

It’s not work when it’s this much fun

[@steveengelhardt9579]

That is the greatest line ever…”I can’t imagine… to get to this level. It is so beautiful 👍🙏🏼🤯

[@kelvinleong7150]

So nice to be able to witness so many ospreys diving right in front of you

[@TheBinaryWolf]

Your excellent photography is a reflection of wonderful patience, and patience is an integral part of one's capacity to love, which makes you gifted.

[@joaniet.9076]

Saw an Osprey today, but did not know what majestic bird of prey it was! Your video has SO educated me. Thank-you! Most amazing footage and pictures! Great job!

[@francus7227]

I was an ocean lifeguard for years in the 80's and 90's.... We'd see one a summer in the early 80's.... in 15 years they were plentiful. But..... seeing them in slow motion is a much different perspective. Thanks.

[@Betterworldforyou.]

Mark you have told us incredible nature of top predator. It is a Beautiful story . We are lucky to watch. “THANK You “. Definitely I will buy your book mate Love from 🇦🇺Australia.

[@kiwisunshine9631]

Stunning photography! How amazing to see such beautiful birds up close. Absolutely beautiful! Many thanks!

[@pjhimself252]

The eyes have it. Magnificent photography.

[@lindafuller6798]

Really liked how you compared the Osprey's determination to your own. Great way to end the video.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thank you!

[@debrapeasley2606]

The osprey at 4:49- a tapestry of brown and white and glowing amber eyes. Mesmerizing.

[@networm64]

Magnificent! Those symmetric ospry shots are the best I've seen ever! And those pectacular slowmo videos Mark, beautifully done!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thank you!

[@michelecunningham4151]

Thank you for being so determined, it has rewarded you, and those of us who delight in your capture of all things Osprey! You are simply the BEST

[@pyro-millie5533]

This is so cool!! Thank you for sharing these remarkable photos and these gorgeous birds!!

[@bertraml292]

Incredible images, Mark! And also stunnig video footage! Thanks for letting us enjoy this.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@kangsterizer]

the osprey flying with the fish is really awesome, great capture!

[@leelaaiyappa6277]

Mark Smith Sir You are a talented Photographer👍

[@hellshulk]

I liked way of explaining, way the words have been strung together and quality of video is just very good.

[@prifreds]

It’s a shame that Mark doesn’t get sponsored by companies, he absolutely absolutely deserves it. Let’s buy his merchandise and support him the best we can. Cheers !

[@blueeyes6852]

Beautifully crafted, scripted and photographed! Really well done! Thank you!

[@tanpengjoo7205]

I love your shirt with that awesome OSPREY

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

Another great story told with outstanding images - both stills and video. Love the slow-mo and your beginning was outstanding!

[@jaredsilverman1027]

Not only is the photography and videography amazing, but the narration and background music ties it all together. Great video as always!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Much appreciated!

[@brigittewhite2951]

That has to be THE best channel on KZbin. What a passionate educator and talented creator you are, Mark! Greetings from France

[@PAULSWorldofWonder]

You need to get an award for this episode. You are the best of the best. What you see and what you do is the same thing. Unity. I am completely stunned

[@amandaclarke7395]

i can't stop smiling at this video and the narration..thank you for this.

[@conradsunkiojack2538]

The full locking of eye contact in motion is strikingly admirable.

[@barbgaquin5415]

As usual Mark you bring us right into your adventure like we are standing next to you. Such amazing photos and videography. Thanks Mark.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks! Hope you two are having fun!

[@avijitbose1317]

Nice. The central idea is not to give up as like the osprey and yourself. Try and try until you succeed. Quiting does not give one a chance to success. Very nice.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

So good Mark, nice work.

[@abelfernandez5648]

Realmente asombroso y brutal. No conozco a nadie que sepa plasmar tanta belleza en los vídeos y fotos como tu, Mark, con esta especie a la que tanto tiempo dedicas y que sin lugar a dudas amas. Enhorabuena por el gran trabajo.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

gracious!

[@TheWorldOfThoseWhoDoNotSpeak]

Stunning and beautiful footage!

[@winnepeterson7740]

Wow. I’m certain God is delighted with this bird which was imagined, designed, and created by him. Thank you for this mesmerizing video. 😀

[@djsieger7235]

I totally agree. An incredible bird to watch. Thanks Mark.

[@ulrikjensen6841]

Must "God" be mixed into all nature's wonders? The fauna (and flora) has developed from itself during billions of years - automatically, so to speak!

[@hyiux]

You sure "God" is a "him" and not a "her" or "it"? And what would "he" say about the poor fish? Must be a disappointment I guess.

[@raylander6329]

Congratulations on the book on Ospreys that is about to come out. Great video, again. And quality is exquisite. WOW

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@jospargo8417]

I love the way you told your story, building the drama with these fantastic images you captured. I’m always thankful that you share this with us.

[@MrPetepetepetepete]

I've never seen Osprey before. So cool! Amazing footage of Osprey, fish, mother nature, etc.

[@chrisjmiller6]

Your videos are an inspiration to so many of us. Some of the best content anywhere.

[@min5869]

Mark, your clip is so awsom. 2 thumbs up. Can't wait to see your next piece.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@jcline147]

The sheer strength of these awesome sea hawks is breathtaking..and you truly capture the essence..spot on!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thank you

[@LinnieMack]

An outstanding photographer and storyteller as well! You far outrank the old mutual of omahas wild kingdom.

[@petermacdearle8389]

I am always amazed by these encounters. They reflect the predatory nature of animals.

[@PerrynBecky]

I love the documentary about these remarkable birds, and even more; the fact that you stick to the subject without the propaganda like that gets shoved down our throats on Nat. Geo. for example. You are exceptionally talented, and your work speaks for itself.

[@bobpeterson1906]

Such great photography! Thank you very much! Years ago I was at a nearby pond and got to video an Osprey snaring a bass out of the pond. It was great.

[@kenlucero3651]

Creation truly sings the glory of God. This video was outstanding!

[@ds8380]

Just amazing Mark as always! thank you so very much for sharing your incredible work.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@judyboyd9530]

You are definitely the master when it comes to photographing these birds! I am sure your skill did not come overnight 😊. Always look forward to these videos. I loved the slow motion .

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@אבימלכה-צ3ז]

Amazing story. Amazing video. I have Nikon d750 with 200-500 mm lens but never catched such sharp images. Thank you.

[@suzycat2026]

Wonderful film & photography. Here in Scotland the Ospreys are building up numbers again with help from different trusts. They fly all the way from Africa to Scotland every Spring, it's always exciting to welcome them back.❤ This year 2024 our weather has affected the Ospreys fishing, with hail & gale force winds. 2 chicks being translocated to Spain. Them & Eagles are my favourite Raptors.😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Sanahfatima1]

I saw your short videos on Instagram. All of them were so interesting I came to search your videos on KZbin. I love your videos 😍

[@chuckpotter1209]

Outstanding video and comments. Thank you for sharing those beautiful moments that aren't captured any other way.

[@Artisticer]

Wonderful in every way! Can't wait to get the two books I ordered - one for me and one as a Christmas gift!

[@cstmichael1]

I'm in a development near Venice Fl and we have Osprey, but not too many. I don't have the 600 f/4 but 200-600mm paired with the A1. I'm struggling to get crisp shots. so when I see your accomplishments it only inspires me to keep trying and gaining more experience in capturing the action of these beautiful hunters. Well done and thank you for posting!!!

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Love your Osprey work Mark. I am following all the nest here in the UK. Ospreys were wiped out 120 years ago and are slowly (down to reintroduction projects) making a return. Reasonable numbers in Scotland and the start of a revival in England and Wales. For example this year. We have seen the first chicks born on the South coast for 180 years. It’s a slow process but hopefully these magnificent birds can be restored in all the relevant areas in the UK.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

That’s awesome!!!

[@boatman222345]

Every time I think to myself "How can Mark ever get a better shot than that one"...he does! Gorgeous images and the metaphor comparing a photographers intent to that of a hunting osprey is right on the money!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@yuehchen7308]

Beautiful and powerful bird.👍👍👍

[@vasevas1]

Many thanks from Athens! Incredible Nature. Incredible dedication of man and animal to their task!

[@jasonlapierre]

Not sure how I ended up here but this is incredible and it's hard to stop watching your videos, very well done!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@AndyM...]

Spectacular work Mark, its hard work getting that eye in focus, but you nailed it, I bet sessions like that result in 1000s of images to go through !!!

[@barryradley3078]

You really know your stuff !.......an art form.......keep it up ! ! !

[@BenjaminAdamsVu]

Your videos are better and better every time , TFS, it was really great to see you in action Mark, I love the double fisted catch

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@spoceanworks]

Excellent.! I love em. They'll hang out on decks and docks working the canals down here in S TX. Beautiful creatures.

[@DalsPhotography]

Absolutely amazing Mark, just as a viewer I wanted to share a small story with you. For the first time after pandemic times, our grandaughter of only 1 and a half years old came to visit us, first time we may meet her. And guess what? She was marvelled for some minutes (Short attention span) with all this production you made! I thank you so much! You made her smile, call the birds in a kind of whistle and move her arms like flying !

[@MarkSmithphotography]

That’s beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing !!!

[@DalsPhotography]

@@MarkSmithphotography Thanks to you !!!!

[@belaacs5238]

You want to hear a word about your videos and images what not even exist. You are the bestest.

[@bannguyen5057]

B…have a knack for finding amazing videos. The photographer is talented, and the osprey in slow motion are just amazing!

[@zwany9326]

Mark your videos are fantastic Thanks for all the effort this takes Greetings from the Netherlands 🙂

[@OwenEDell]

One of your best ever. Just breathtaking! Thanks for all you do.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thank you!

[@Michael_Academia]

MASTER Mark! This is AMAZING and I love the shirt.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@wandamustapha9340]

This is beautiful Mark what an incredible creature the osprey is. Thank you for taking these beautiful videos

[@andylewis8270]

Fantastic again!! Congrats on another world class video.I will be booking another trip to see you!

[@TubTechGuru]

Beautifully capture! Thank you for sharing. I wish it was all in 4K…that would be awesome.

[@eduardorivera867]

Me encantan mucho tus vídeos. El vuelo de las aves me fascina. No me canso de verlos. Muchas gracias.

[@etmax1]

What amazing photography & videography, for me the stills were the best because, while the videos were incredible, the stills offer higher resolution of a snapshot in time.

[@billwelch3934]

Awesome video and storytelling Mark! Thank you for sharing!

[@harmoni4499]

The pictures were so clear I could even see feather pattern of small bird's face from far distantce.

[@oathkeeper87]

Mind-blowingly Incredible Story Telling!

[@Ltgk20]

Awesome as always. The skill it takes to keep a bird diving at that rate of speed and then not fly right by is amazing.

[@jorgeacosta8303]

Amazing Work! Hope to be at one of your workshops one of these days.

[@Premkumar-bk1zp]

❤ Very clear photos taken with lots of effort. God bless you🌹

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@marthavasquez-weber8653]

Absolutely breathtaking!! I have never seen such beauty captured in one video! Looking forward to getting a copy of the book!

[@05sassafrasrose]

Spectacular. I love the way you captured the powerful lift of the dominant Osprey in the beginning. I could feel it in addition to seeing it. Beautifully accomplished. Thanks.

[@zackhudson]

Hello 👋 Patricia. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a very smart lady

[@05sassafrasrose]

Hello Zack…I am doing well here on the east coast. Thanks for your comments. Gave me another opportunity to re-visit and admire Mark’s talents and the wonderful Osprey. Take care. 🦋

[@zackhudson]

@@05sassafrasrose you're welcome. I have been to the east coast so many years ago, and it's very nice there, I will love to visit again. Have you been to Colorado before?

[@ra3jualaga45adi]

Great photography and narration man! Makes it very interesting to watch.

[@seandavis2520]

They are amazing... I've had 2 over the years dive bomb right behind me ... scared me and I thought for sure the Osprey had broken its neck with 1 or 2 ft of water yet both times they rose out of the water with fish! I just wish I had your Camara at the time ! Amazing birds of prey! Thanks for the video

[@markmihalik326]

Gorgeous photography. Stunning shots.

[@marycaryl6370]

Wonderful narration along with fabulous photography! Thanks so much for what you do!

[@malgosiak123]

Just listen to your stories is simply a pleasure! excellent work!

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@merxeddie6474]

Never seen this captured better!

[@onsafari]

Your skill and dedication is astonishing. Thank you.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thank you too!

[@abaeem1694]

What a photography. Simply commendable. Keep it up.

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

Nice videos! I noticed an osprey ate meals atop a tennis court light pole in Cocoa Beach. Lots of fish parts below on the little used court.

[@gregm6894]

Very impressive video and stills. You are the 'Osprey Hunter' for sure. Between your skill set and the amazing equipment available today, it doesn't get any better. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@CamillaI]

A great spectacle Mark can't get enough of these Ospreys ! It takes hours to get images like these so thanks for sharing ! I am trying your settings with my Sony A1and enjoying the exposure peaking tip ! Amazing camera the A1 so many ways you can set it !

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks and I agree! It is an amazing camera for sure!

[@justingates1122]

Your reward payed off on this video for sure ,good job

[@MarkSmithphotography]

Thanks

[@rajarsirana2617]

You are really great photographer and story teller.

[@cesarm8811]

Really fun to watch...all the images were my favorites. Looking forward to watch your next video

[@johncopeland3826]

Grabbing 2 fish at once ! I think it's safe to say that the osprey has come off the diet ... Truly mesmerising !

[@calabrais]

The only thing that may rival your photography is your story telling. Amazing content!

[@Jaydawg1250]

I really love your videos. I'm really hoping to get the A1 sometime soon. Maybe someday, I can make it to Florida for a class.

[@stevesczur6134]

Mark, Thank you for posting this amazing footage of the osprey's
