very nice pictures . and of course wildlife photographers eat sausage on their bread and drive a silver nissan . do you shoot in Raw?. The Nikon Z9 takes great photos. I have very mixed feelings about AF . sometimes I see the AF very wrong , and with you the AF is almost perfect👍

[@Halmstadfoto]

😂😂 Yes, this is my third Nissan Almera. I always shoot in raw. Thank you for your kind comment 😀😀🙏🙏

Great video !! the Sigma 800 f5.6 is replaced now for the 400mm f2.8 ? The z9 did not work on it as wished?

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you so much and thank you for your kind comment. 😀😀🙏🙏 No, I still use the 800mm and it works perfect whith the Z9 but in bad light I use the 400 f/2.8

[@kaak4737]

@@Halmstadfoto Great !!!

[@KWTImages]

Great set up and pictures from the Z9, couple of questions around your setup, what do you put out for food...,? When and how often..? Are you sooting through glass in your hide...? If so where did you get it, as the detail in your work is amazing...sometimes the field work on how you get your images would be very interesting as well. Best Wishes Keith..

[@Halmstadfoto]

I put out road killed animals and how often depends on what animal it is but at least once a week. The glass is a mirror glass in hide no. 2 and in hide 1 I have the lens directly out. Crystal clear 4mm stop sol. Thank you for your suggestion and thank you for your kind comment. 😀😀🙏🙏

[@KWTImages]

@@Halmstadfoto thank you for that information it is much appreciated, your blogs are amazing, well done. Cheers Keith

[@berniestang2616]

Awesome shots …. Love your peaceful video . Which AF modes did u use ?? I’m still trying to figure all that out with my Z9 ! Thx 😊

[@Halmstadfoto]

@@KWTImages Thanks Keith 😀🙏 In this case, I use wide area focus and animal detection. I also have problems sometimes but I have solved a lot by putting point focus on fn1. Then I press Fn1 and set the focus and then the camera follows the object.

Cool. I'm sure you couldn't get nearly as good footage or pics with Sony Olympus or Canon right?

[@Halmstadfoto]

Hi, I think the Sony A1 and also the Canon R3 works great. I have tested Sony and I think Nikon is a bit sharper and easier to handle. It may be because I'm a regular Nikon user, but anyway I'm very happy with the Nikon Z9. Thank you for your kind comment.

@@Halmstadfoto im looking to get the new one in a few months

[@arildhagen3820]

Lovevly images and moods. Seems like the Z9 is a perfect tool for this type of photography and the keeper rate should surpass the Z6 and Z7. Have you had the chance to compare this to DSLR like the D5 and D6 in terms of keeper rate? Those DSLR was one of the best ones in their time. Finally, are you really shooting throung the window in the hide. If that the case are som special optrical grrade glass used or just standard 1 ply window? Keep up the good work

[@Halmstadfoto]

Thank you for your kind comment. Unfortunately I have not tested the D5 and D6 but the D800E, D850, D500, Z6, Z6II and this is the camera that focuses on most images at fast speed. I was very happy with the Z6II but it became a big step to the Z9 where the focus is great. Yes, I shoot through glass in one of my hiding places and it is special glass that "only" takes two steps on the aperture. In addition, I can take photos at an oblique angle without any problems. It's the same glass they use in professional hiding places. Crystal Clear Stop Sun 4 mm mirror glass. Thanks again.
