Nikon D6: Behind the winning shot with Nikon Ambassador Daisy Gilardini

Nikon Ambassador and conservation photographer #DaisyGilardini shares her first ever experience shooting with the #D6. She puts Nikon's flagship camera through its paces while capturing British Columbia’s Brown Bear, where the camera’s combination of impressive ISO capabilities, durability and water resistant features, and new auto AF mode allow her to capture high-quality images that were impossible before.

Great video. Love how relaxed she is around the Brown Bears. Just searched out her work and its stunning.

[@Brock_in_the_North]

The D6 looks like incredible piece of hardware. Fantastic video. Very inspiring.

[@rolandrick]

Hi Daisy, besides the awesome images: I love your symbiosis with the nature. Suites exactly my mindset. The bears totally accept you, like you have ever been there and a part of the environment. In addition to your experience, that’s most probably the magic component to your images. And the D6 and Nikon lenses of course the perfect wand.

[@jamesmcclain2125]

Amazing video, I had no idea a person could get so close to a Bear in the wild without fear of attacks. Great Job!

[@michellestewart7494]

❤ Wow, I would so love to be photographing the bears. Beautiful images, so very true you're giving them a voice. ❤

[@aldringeorge2786]

Stunning shots and video.I love it

[@DavidSchultz]

Great to see you again Daisy! Well done feature on you! Hope to cross paths again one day. Hope your happy and healthy!

[@daisygilardini7466]

Hi David, nice to hear from you! Glad you like the video! It was great fun and very refreshing to be in the field with the bears... :) Take care! Cheers

[@DHAGMANN2]

Wonderful experiences you are sharing with us👍

[@dal1888]

Awesome! I started when I was 15 and I’m 16 now so almost the same as you! Awesome inspiration I hope to be as good as you one day 😊

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

is it me or at around 2:22 she has a D6 at hand, but the tripod has a D850? the body in the tripod looks smaller.

[@frederichore1890]

Superb imagery Daisy! Missed meeting in Antarctica when you were on the Akademik Ioffe. I've been a Nikon user for 30 years, and love the results in all my journalistic endeavours from all my bodies, from the D200 to my current D850, and all the Nikkor glass too. Look forward to trying out the D6!

[@daisygilardini7466]

Sorry to have missed you in Antarctica! Hopefully there would be another opportunity! Take care!

very nice Daisy, agree with the message its simply great gear, just need to find the time to use mine soon I hope i can participate in one of the tours next year!

[@daisygilardini7466]

Yeah Peter, let's hope to be back in the field soon!

[@Olafleflibustier]

Nice video, and nice stuff !! I had a D5 and, this camera is just a beast ! Really impressive, it was already a big leap forward compared to the D4, pro cameras are really cut out for all situations and the quality is really excellent! I would like to pay myself this D6 !! Soon, soon ^^ '

[@nickreid5939]

What is the diff between the D4 and D5 image quality??

[@Olafleflibustier]

@@nickreid5939 The details are still slightly finer on a D5 (16mp for the D4 and 20 for the D5) even if you have to linger on the image to see that, but it is above all the ability to recrop that is interesting to this level. And then the D5 has a monstrous ISO management and the AF is the same... But for less budget the D4 is really excellent!

[@johnhjic2]

What super images.

[@mohandass3442]

Just 6 months purchased D6 now I am having Nikon 5.6 500 mm pf vr yet to try to take pictures how is the combo work

[@shete123]

Is the video shot on D6 also? Loved the pictures

[@daisygilardini7466]

Hi Shirish, the video was shot with the two Nikon mirrorless the Z6 and Z7.

[@usapatriot3274]

I just purchased a Nikon D6.. What are the camera Basic wildlife photography settings? I love your work and would appreciate your advice.

[@NikCan66]

Great video and do you use a WT6 in any if your work

Wow Amazing

Grazie!

[@sayanbera8240]

what is the tripod and gimbal?

[@daisygilardini7466]

I use Gitzo tripod and gimbal. Great product!

[@seantomlinson3320]

That was lovely. Only change I could tell from the D5 is the customized group af right? And two more games per second?

[@daisygilardini7466]

The new auto focus system is simply amazing!

[@shadow479]

She is actually pretty close to the bears. Where I live we have no bears around, so if saw one I would be just fleeing away lol

[@thomastuorto9929]

Notice she had to switch up to a shorter lens. Between the person taking the video & probably a guide there with a rifle also probably helped some. But most of all, it was the fish that had their attention. With wildlife, you never can tell when they won't be in the mood until it is to late. Great vid. Makes me wish I had deeper pockets !!!

[@rounakdas2052]

That's some expensive equipment, a D6 with an 800mm 🥺😲

Great Camera for sure, but its strongest argument can´t be how fast it shots (fps)....

[@schwartzmatthewe]

Nikon has lost its way. They have zero strongpoint anymore. Even the FPS is pathetic. It’s so sad.

[@nickreid5939]

I will keep my D4......for now

[@LENSASatwa42]

Hello... Very good video... How i can get support to run my wildlife education project through nikon camera.. So far i am using nikon coolpix p900 since 2016. I want to upgrade to another nikon to support my project. So i can make wildlife books and audio visual media for the kids in my home. If there is any access to make it please share what should i do. 🙏. Thank you.

[@szain2]

Great video.. --- Nikon D6 (canon1dxIII also) has a lot better battery life and low light performance than mirrorless flagships. I think the benefits of this sensor will be more usefull for a lot of proffessionals, still both of these companies are dumbing and degrading their DSLR flagships for marketing mirroless flagships and other mirrorless cameras. No DSLR flagships were not faced these kind of exclusion and embrancement within an year of their release, pls keep doing promos.

[@crosenvold1]

Photography has come a long way. When you use the camera as a machine-gun you have to be pretty unlucky if you don't manage to get an awesome shot from time to time.

[@ianmackenzie8584]

Your comment highlights you as an envious amateur.

That camera looks huge in her hands or she has small hands.

Watch out for those bears for sure

New focus system that doesn’t cover the areas you often times need it to..... Oh Nikon. You have broken my heart. The day I divorced you and married Canon was a sad day, but a needed day. World, welcome to the D6. Worse than the D5. Outdated for 2020. 2016 is mildly impressed with you.

[@ewyss9206]

And now let's see your work...

[@subhashs9751]

A great image is never about the camera It's all about the person behind it Now since you have moved to a better system did your image improved?? Or are you a shitty photographer who blindly believe spec sheet

[@schwartzmatthewe]

@@subhashs9751 lmfao. Obviously you are ignorant. If it didn’t matter about the camera, then camera technology would stay the same etc. Start challenging your gear. Apparently your gear is better than you are a photographer.

@@schwartzmatthewe I responded to your childish post in another post in this video with samples of the Nikon D850 with battery grip paired to my Sigma 500mm f4 sport and Nikon 200-500mm f5.6. The most important focus point is the center focus point, especially for fast action shooting.
