Nikon D850 Bird Photography | Why I LOVE It So Much!

The Nikon D850 truly is a masterpiece of a DSLR. I love using it for so many different types of photography, but I find the D850 really shines in bird and wildlife. I spend a magic day out with the Nikon doing some bird photography at Toorbul in Queensland, Australia photographing shoreline birds. Hope you enjoy.

For those interested I used the Nikon AF-S 80-400mm F4.5-5.6G VR lens. Happy to report all video clips and still images from the day safely stored onto the Pergear 128GB CFE-B card, no issues 👍🙏

Hello Adrian! Great location for bird photography, looks like wearing boots a must in the mud! Many thanks for sharing your work Adrian !Big like(125)! Take care of yourself! Have nice day!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Tom, much appreciated 👍🙏

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

So much wildlife on that beach, fascinating blue soldier crabs. The low flying pelican reminded me of the Millennium Falcon flying low over Tatooine.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks Russ, and great analogy with the Falcon on Tatooine, yes it was almost scraping its belly across the mud / sand. Have a great weekend 👍🙏📸

[@christian.irmler]

Hi Adrian, I'm stunning each single time when I'm watching one of your videos, which amazing wildlife you have in your country :) Really great photographs and a fantastic video as well! Nice greetings, Christian

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you so much for watching Christian. Just wait until I go to the outback here, then you’ll see some really incredible wildlife we have. Glad you’re ok, I was worried last week, but you were traveling. Have an awesome weekend my friend 👍🙏📸

[@PhilThach]

Great location! Wow! Time to buy some rubber mud boots! LOL Thanks, Adrian!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you Phil. I think I would have sunk up to my knees even with boots on. I needed snow shoes or tennis rackets strapped to my feet haha! Enjoy your weekend my friend 👍🙏📸

[@Beyondthehappymiles]

Love the ideas and quality of photos came out ❤️ Keep sharing

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thank you! Will do! 🙏

[@roybixby6135]

I bought into The Nikon Z cameras, Sony A7 and Fuji XT but I always came back to the D850...

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Can understand that Roy. It's a good solid all round camera.

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Great location Adrian, fantastic bird life, loved the crabs as well. Really is time to invest in some wellies mate👍👍

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks Scott for watching. All good mate re the wellies. I filmed this a little while ago and recently returned to the location for some more KZbin videos. This time I bought my waders that I had purchased for Iceland and Scotland. Bit of overkill, but at least I was dry. Have a great week mate 👍🙏📸

[@WalterStinnettPhotography]

Fantastic video, Adrian! You have some amazing shots, especially the one with the Tern looking like it is balancing on it's beak. I thought the clips with the Spoonbills as vacuum cleaners were hilarious!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Walter. It was great to capture that Term just with its beak touching the water, then the splash. I think he was showing off for the camera 😂 Have a great week and take care 👍🙏📸

[@RobOnRefresh]

Great video as always my friend! I know this one was supposed to be about birds but I found myself enthralled by those soldier crabs I have to admit ;) I can especially relate to that mud as well. I almost lost a pair of boots on one of my river excursions near the house. My boots just sunk right into the muck - lol. Cheers!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Rob. Yes I will have to do an entire video on the little soldier crabs one day. I think like you others viewers were more interested in these little critters than the birds. Hope you have a great week ahead Rob 👍🙏📸

[@NatureBelgium]

Interesting video! Thanks for sharing !

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@tonymcclendon-hobbytime7727]

Awesome footage of nature at its best. it is amazing how you make it all come to life on the video screen. Thanks for your work and play. You have came a long way on youtube since those first 25 subs, I was one of them. WISHING YOU THE BEST IN 2021 AND BEYOND.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks so much for watching Tony. Really appreciate your time. Enjoy your week ahead 👍🙏📸

[@bvaldes8791]

Great location Adrian and what a beautiful day always special when you go out and shoot nature. Just love it my friend. Enjoy the weekend 📸👏🙏🏼

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Many thanks for watching. Much appreciated. Enjoy your week ahead and take care 👍🙏📸

[@CliftonTicehurst]

Love the location Adrian, it’s the first time I’ve seen blue crabs and those birds shots are cracking 👌Brilliant video mate👍 Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Cliff

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Cliff. I had a lot of fun that day, it was really enjoyable despite the mud haha. Lots on offer to photograph fortunately. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@slimbirdy]

Wow! You won't know yourself with all those shots you can get without having to download and clear the card. Makes three day trips so much easier. Loved the opening sequence - just like a nature film. Those Spoonbills! Classic. Another fabulous day out, great to see you having fun.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching. Cheers and glad you enjoyed the vid 👍🙏📸

[@AndrewHamiltonPhotography]

Fabulous shots Adrian - the whiting for breakfast , the pelican were great but the dancing spider crabs was my favourite 🦀 Lovely to see the Kingfisher and those dive bombing images were excellent. Really enjoyed the coastal wander and that view to the Glass House mountains is amazing - have a great week and thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Cheers Andrew, thanks for watching mate. I must go back for some sunset photography there. Had a couple of ideas for some frames. Hope you have a great weekend mate 👍🙏📸

[@leod1671]

I love bird photography, they are beautiful creatures that always amaze. Thank you for the video, it has inspired me to head out this morning to one of the preserves here in South Florida and load up the card on my D850 and 200-500.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Leo. Hope you have fun with the D850 in Florida. Enjoy your weekend,, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@davidsaylors]

🤣”almost like a vacuum”… that was funny! Your videography skills are so good, I really wished I had these skills… The photos are awesome too, and as usual the D850 brings home the winning photos!!! Thanks for taking us along Adrian. 👍📸

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching David, glad you enjoyed the vid. Pretty great day out there for this one. Lots to photograph too. Have a great week and take care 👍🙏📸

[@thomastuorto9929]

I liked the vacum noise touch you put in the vid.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@CourtneyVictoria]

The two crabs image is fantastic!! I couldn't stop watching them running about all over the place. I bet you had fun cleaning your shoes off after haha! Fantastic place though, so much wildlife. Fantastic high quality images.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks Courtney. It was a great location for so many little creatures everywhere. Afterwards I saw more birds in the park behind me and got more shots, but the video would have been way too long for my liking. I try to keep things short. I will go back there for some sunset photography one day and those mountains. Have a great weekend 👍🙏📸

Great location for bird photography, looks like wearing boots a must in the mud. Great set of shots and loving the blue crabs!!!! Many thanks for sharing your work Adrian :)

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Shaun. Many crabs out there that day, amazing to see. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@sanaatanviswa]

Fabulous N I K O N ❤❤❤❤

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@RauriBarron]

Nice video Adrian, looks like another great spot for bird photography. Loved the shots of those low flying pelicans. The quality of the CFE card box is exceptional as well, and timely reference to winning an Olympic medal haha!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Cheers Rauri. I originally went to this other location near there and no one singe bird was there haha! Luckily I looked down the channel a bit and could see the birds feasting in the low tide. KZbin vid saved haha! Have a great weekend mate, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@RauriBarron]

@@adrianalfordphotography Haha good on you mate, It worked our perfectly. Nice video. I've had a few trips out/videos recently become half videos due to un-ideal location/conditions/time.... then have to find a way to recover 'content'...not fun haha.

[@kamperempobezdrozach-bozen9271]

Wow, super video, big like from Poland.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for visiting

[@Dilllie]

Great Video!!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for the visit 🙏

[@snap-n-shoot]

Just ordered a CFE card card based on your video. Fingers crossed.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching. I’ve had no issues with it since this video. Has been reliable and fast. Better than my old XQD card which I just gave away to a friend weekend past. Enjoy your day 📸🙏

[@peterviragphoto]

Amazing location mate, loved all the footage & images. Those crabs omg so cool!😀😀😍 p.s. next time gumboots😂😂

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Peter. I was thinking my waders would have come in handy, but I would have got stuck out there up to my knees haha! Have a great weekend mate, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@andrewhookerphotography4774]

Shooting some birds - haha, feathered or two legged, either way you'd be in trouble haha. Nice shots m8. Loved the crabs.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching Andrew. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 👍🙏📸

[@gewglesux]

I have to stick with my XQD's for a little while more. I have 6 128's G Series Sony cards that i purchased when they were $300 ea. Maybe in a little while i'll move over to CF express. As always love the work you do! Keeping my D850 for as long as it will have me!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Many thanks for watching. Much appreciated. Have a great day 👍🙏📸

[@gewglesux]

@@adrianalfordphotography I think it might be worth it i'm not sure.

[@dianapiscitelli9369]

Adrian, does the CFE-b go into the xqd slot? I am still using the usd card in my d850. and what is the advantage if you dont mind me asking. I am a self taught/ learning hobbyist. Thanks. Great pics! love the “Dance”

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Hi Diana thanks for watching. Yes the CFE-B goes into the XQD card slot on the D850. If you google advantages of XQD/CFE-B cards vs SD cards you'll see a lot of info on the net. If you're having no issues with your SD card and it's doing the job for you, then that's great. However, having 2 cards in your camera gives you peace of mind that if one card fails (by chance) at least you have your valuable photos safely stored on the other card. This is a must for wedding, portrait or event photographers.

[@rustystuff]

You need your wellies Adrian! :-D

[@adrianalfordphotography]

All sorted for next time with my waders. Reason why I. was underprepared in this video was because my first location for birds was a no show, so went here instead. Wasn’t expecting a glue pot 😂

[@rustystuff]

@@adrianalfordphotography 😆 Definitely a glue pot!! Great video as usual 🙌

[@magicalwishlist6616]

Hey Adrian, where exactly in Toorbul where you? The bird sanctuary is closed to people. I am in Brisbane and Wanted to visit the area?

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Low tide is best. Northern tip end along esplanade where you can see Glass House Mountains. Wear boots 😂

[@magicalwishlist6616]

@@adrianalfordphotography thank you. Yeah King Tide at the moment.. Water is everywhere...

[@magicalwishlist6616]

Hey Adrian, Heading to Toorbul tomorrow (Wed 19 Jan) morning. Low tide is at 4:40am, sun rise at 5:00am. Hopefully no rain… and I have gumboots

[@magicalwishlist6616]

I made it to Toorbul, had a great morning. I’ll send you a link to the images when I get them processed. I used a Z9 with the 500 PF with a 1.4 Teleconverter for a number of the shots. A lot of the birds were a good distance from the closest vantage point made it difficult to get in close even at 700mm.

[@valentinjimenez9499]

Hello Adrian. I am writing to you from Spain. I love your videos, they are very helpful and motivating. I have started to see them from the oldest. I am writing this message to ask you about the white caps of the objective lens with the filter holder ring. I mean, for example, the one you wear on the camera in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nom3qnR8ZrCdb6s from minute 2. Thanks in advance and keep it up. Greetings Valentine.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Hello the white caps are Lee Filters covers that go over the filter rings.www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/491475-REG/LEE_Filters_LENSCAP_White_Adapter_Ring_Caps.html
