I really like your approach to taking wildlife photography and you inspire me to try harder, get closer and get lower when taking birds on water. Keep up the good work. Stunning images and I really like the candid nature of your videos, I wish I was as confident as you to talk to the camera when out photographing. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and images with us. cheers Graham

Sounds like a great combo. Hopefully you will be able to go out and shoot soon. Thanks for the compliment.

[@malaustwick5364]

Hi Trond, A bit late to the party with this video, but I was just going through your video library and saw it was about the GCG. I'm trying to get similar images at my local reserve. (very early mornings at the moment!). Great tip re watching the bubbles to be ready for the re-surface (just in case there is a fish in its beak!). I think I need to get a Ghillie blanket as the Grebe's spot me as I'm approaching the lake and I'm generally taking images of them 50-60M+ away!

[@AndyGustavsson]

Looks like you had a calm and cold morning, really beautiful colors reflecting in the water and so stunning photos of the goldeneye and the great crested grebe! Well done Trond!

[@trondwestby]

I did...just perfect 😀Thanks a lot for the compliment Andy!

[@paulinefollett3099]

Stunning sir! The image with the water droplets cascading behind the subject is incredible. Your videos are such a tonic in these strange times, I was due to photograph wetland birds on The Wash in the UK but cannot now due to travel restrictions. Thanks again Trond

Thank you so much! Such a kind compliment. 🙏😀

[@trondwestby]

Thanks a lot Sean! 🙏😀

[@KGsPhotography]

You never fail to deliver Trond. That is some amazing footage and images of the Great Crested Grebe. I was fortunate enough to capture their mating ritual before the lockdown in the U.K. and can’t wait to get out there and see them again. Nice one mate. Cheers, Keith

[@trondwestby]

[@shaunnorton285]

Lovely video trond 👍 The Great Crested Grebe was one of the birds I'd been planning all winter to go an photograph. I'd chosen the perfect low level spot almost level with the water with plenty of natural camouflage. But now with the current restrictions in the UK its unethical/against the "rules" for me to go out and spend hours with my camera and its not going to change anytime soon 🙄 oh well there's always next year I guess. At least your video has showed me what I'm missing 😉

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much! 🙏. Hopefully you will be able to go out and photograph soon. Next year you get them 👍😀

[@timwhitehouse7570]

Hey Trond, I always enjoy your vlogs and this one was no exception! Never commented before but since you decided to try the 180-400 TC1.4 lens I felt compelled! For me, it’s the sharpest, most incredible lense I own! Really fast and so accurate. I really think you will love it. If I had known just how amazing it is I could have saved a lot of money but it has an intimidating price tag. Anyways hope to see you run some videos where you really try it! Keep up the good work!

[@trondwestby]

Hi Tim! I really appreciate you wrote to me. Thank you so much for your nice compliment. I agree, the 180-400 was really good. Really sharp. 😀👍

Magnificent Scenery 👌 inspiration during these times I have a question however: infinity vs full which focus to & when to use

[@trondwestby]

[@3082frank]

I have not seen you use the 180-400. It would have been nice to get a review of it. Can you please do a review of the nikon 500mm f5.6 if you ever get the chance. It would be nice to own a 500mm f4 but 12000$ is a big investment. Thank you

Superb! as always Trond. Do you think the mark III teleconverter is worth paying the extra over the Mark II. There is a huge difference in price. 👍

[@trondwestby]

Thank you so much! I have to say yes...its so much sharper then the V2. I was really impressed and happy to have changed it, as I like using the converter to get closer. Worth it for me 😀👍

Another great video Trond. I love your style of working-it's like being with a mate ot watching a vlog. Can I ask about settings? Are you using single or multi point AF i am struggling with single point AF.

Thank you so much Graham for your kind words. I use single point most of the times.

@@trondwestby Thanks for the replyTrond. There are a number of photographers such as yourself, Espen Helland, Mortens Hilmer and Paul Miguel whose style of vlogging is really inspiring. Right now it's inspiring me to buy the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 lens!! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
