Shorebird Photography | Nikon Z 400mm F4.5 | Wildlife and Landscape Photography

Autumn is a great time to photograph shorebirds in Sweden. In this video you find me at the coast, low to the ground, looking for shorebirds and waders. I also get up really early to see the sunrise.

Nikon Z7
Nikon Z6
Nikon Z24-50 F4-6.3
Nikon Z 70-200 F2.8
Nikon Z 400 F4.5

I'm sorry guys. This weeks video did not turn out to be very interesting. But I did have a good time out in nature. Hopefully next video will be better. My annual autumn trip to the Swedish muntains! Stay tuned! :)

Your Videos are great and your review of the 400 f4.5 = the Best out there >> I am saving for mine

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you! I hope you can buy it soon. It truly is a fantastic lens. :)

I totally agree with what you said. Every trip into nature is a success whether we get the shots we want or not. Just being out there in the peace and quiet, surrounded by beautiful sights and smells, is reward enough for me. I really like that little sandy beach. It looks like a fantastic spot to camp and swim. There might even be some photographic inspiration there with better light!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Excactly! I do want to creat the best content possible for my videos. But it's also recreational time for me. So it's a balancing act. :) That beach sure was a nice spot!

[@Cariboukid]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto I think you do a fine job of maintaining that balance! Your videos are always interesting and entertaining. Your passion for the outdoors, and for photography, really shines through!

Good video. Nature doesn’t always cooperate. Those shorebirds were delightful! And the morning clouds were beautiful!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thanks Karen! I can watch birds for hours. It really soothes my soul. :)

Nice film Thomas

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you very much! 😀

Nice, how do you feel the 1.4tc compares to simply cropping in without it? Or using dx mode for a better field of view?

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thanks! The 1.4TC works very well with the 400 f4.5. I have the Z7 (45mp). So I do a lot of cropping. :)

[@russandloz]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto Cool. But have you compared cropping Vs using the tc?

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

No I have not.

[@Mr09260]

Thomas how does the 400F4.5 S feel like on the Z6/Z7 camera Body? >> I have the 70-200S and saving for the 400 4.5 . I also have the 1.4 x convertor for both lenses> I do African Wild Life and cant afford the Z9 so waiting for the Z7III to be announced

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi there! I get great results with the 400f4.5 on my Z7 and Z6. Sure, those cameras lack that super great auto focus like the Z9 has. But for me the AF is good enough.

Wasting time in the woodlands? - no 😊

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hehe, you are right. 😀
