[@mycolearning7028]

I discovered your channel recently and have been hooked ever since, I'm about 2/3 through watching all of your videos. Your photos are fantastic and I love how enthusiastic you are, nothing better than seeing someone do what they love. Norway is such a beautiful country and I hope to visit one day. Looking forward to all your videos to come 😀

[@trondwestby]

Wow.....what a great compliment. Thank you so much. Enjoy rest of the videos, and thanks for your support. 👍

Those beanbag rests are commonly used by airgunners for benched rifle shooting.

[@wahyurizky9640]

Always stunning! Great work trond 💯

[@lortopalt]

Fantastiska bilder, Trond så otroligt fint, underbara färger. Hälsningar från Stefan i Sverige. Fantastic pictures, Trond so incredibly nice, wonderful colors. Greetings from Stefan in Sweden.

[@trondwestby]

Tusen takk Stefan! Veldig hyggelig at du likte det.

[@ryanackland9330]

Awesome video Trond, loved it! Im so happy for you that you managed to have such a great time and experience photographing the Grebes. Great captures!!! All the very best👍

[@katapodis_spyros]

Amazing moment!! I have seen this animal but from the inner of my car, I didn't have much time to photograph it. Amazing bird!

[@johnmagneeilertsen9566]

Utrulig morsomt og fange di spesielle øyeblikkene. Artig at du fikk med flørtinga til toppdykkeran.. Enda noen uker til isen går på vattnan hær nord. Flott film og bilder

[@trondwestby]

Tusen takk! Det er kjekt med disse fuglene nå på våren.

[@smkunder1]

Wow, fantastic video, just wish I could make my Z6ll focus like that. Well done!

[@VABrowneMDPhD]

Trond, these are amazing images! I really liked the low light images that showed off the bird’s colors. Fantastic capture of the courtship dance!

[@klaustomasini]

Congrats Trond. Your hawk picture was taken for Topas AI update screen since version 1.3.0! Maybe since a longer period but I recognized it since 1.3.0.

[@trondwestby]

Thanks Klaus!

Amazing photos and great video as always :)

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment. :)

[@tristramstout8988]

Hi Trond. I always enjoy your videos but I haven’t always commented. This video really shows the potential for patience and good equipment. I’m hoping to receive the Tragopan Hokki blind in a few days.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much Tristram! I really appreciate your support!

[@tomchalephotography6477]

Breath taking ❤, as with all your videography/photography Trond. Thank you for taking us all on this fabulous journey. All the best, Tom

[@tomhendron2357]

Just amazing, Trond! What an encounter...what beautiful images!!! Your effort and results are a testament to your passion for photographing nature's wildlife at its best.

Thank you Tom!

[@ФотоохотасАльбертом]

Да, это было действительно красиво.👍 Привет из России.👋 🙂

[@drferry]

Your enthusiasm is more than half of why I enjoy your channel so much! Most great wildlife photography is serendipitous, so thanks for showing us that you have to be in the field. Great shots!

[@trondwestby]

Thank you for your kind compliment. :)

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

OH MY!!! You are such a lucky man to get this opportunity at the grebes. Such beautiful images. I fully understand your excitement. It must have been a thrill to see them coming up on the computer screen and processing into the fine art images you had hoped for. Congratulations, Trond! Your hard work and dedication have taken you into the top ranks of wildlife artists.

[@trondwestby]

Thank you Clifton for your kind compliment.

[@TBuanes_Photography]

Beautiful video Trond. Really nice shots :D Why does they come up with the seaweed? Guess its a token of some sort. :)

[@trondwestby]

Thanks buddy! It is a token :)

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Hey Trond, beautiful! It looks like you had a great time in the blind, I would like to use a blind, but there are to many people in most areas. I am curious how you are getting photos and video of the main subject at the same time. Thanks for making my Saturday morning even more relaxing. Greg

[@trondwestby]

Hi Greg! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. :)

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

I always have a tough time getting video and stills if I don't have multiple cameras with me. It's hard to decide which to do... still or video, lol. Both are lots of fun . Greg

[@bjornfrins]

Great video as always! I’m curious, what photoblind is that? Greetings from the Netherlands! Love your work!

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much! It is a blind from tragopan called hokki.

[@steveking6204]

Thw white frame on your photos really washes out your fantastic shots. Pls use black or a very thin white ffe on black.

[@trondwestby]

Thanks for your honest feedback 👍

[@steveking6204]

@@trondwestby I'm a fan of black w/no border myself. I feel that the presence of bright white causes the eye to view the image with an incorrect white point in both color and tone.

[@petarbogdanov8268]

Hello, I want to ask where I can buy such a tent. Thanks!

How do you dress for your floating blind?

[@trondwestby]

With dry suit :)

[@Karkawry1970]

How did you fill your bean bag Trond?

[@trondwestby]

With peas and some foam.

[@MehdinGlogic]

I like movies like this, but with some animals that are not seen that often. But going to a park, a lake and shooting ducks is amateurish to me.

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks so much for sharing another awesome video like always, I posted a video in my KZbin profile and it would be an honor if you would like to see, I used many technics and tips that I learned from you 🐦👍🤗

[@trondwestby]

Thanks! Thats awesome, I will check it out :)
