I love using the floating blind to get that low eye level perspective. And you never know what surprises you. I went out in hope of great crested grebe courtship. Witch I got in great back light. And suddenly I came close to a beautiful lapwing male.
I was luck to have nikon send me the new Z 600mm f4 TC lense, to test out a month. And I already fallen in love with it :)
It is so nice with the build in teleconverter. Together with the nikon z9, its a killer combo.
The floating blind I use is from tragopan: tragopan-shop....

Perfect video vlog Trond👍👍. I like watching your little adventures. It looks very interesting to photographing animals from the water photoblind. Because I don't have experience with that kind of photography. It had to be a cold if you spend some time in the water🙂. Best regards Ondrej 😉

Thank you for posting this great adventure, Trond. I can only imagine what a fine experience it was photographing those birds from the floating blind. You made some really beautiful images. I'm looking forward to hearing more about that 600mm lens you were using, too. Especially the weight of the lens. My 500mm f/4 G lens weighs 8.6 pounds and I'm getting to the age where I can barely work with it. Looking forward to your Svalbard trip, too.

I really liked those lapwings. I hope I spelled that right. The grebes are nice, too. I’m hoping to photograph some of them myself this next week. But, I don’t think we have lapwings in my area. You’re still a great inspiration. Keep up the good work.

@jeroenschoondergang5923 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the inspiration again Trond, great video. I am a bit confused about the whole floating blind concept though. I came into bird photography from fly fishing and I have been using inflatable pontoons for quite a while now. The one I am using now has ample room for to lie on it without touching the water, which means a lower profile. Besides I use a remote controlled electric motor to propel me or keep me still, even in windy conditions. I think this should be a great asset for on-water bird photography. The traditional floating blinds are actually quite limited compared to the floating devices we use for fly fishing. You should check them out. I can give you some pointers if it interests you.

Great photos , I have been spending the last few days taking shots of Lapwings and their young at a nearby flooded field. I struggle to get shots with clear background as it is a rough field and chicks going through grass. Do you use auto iso on shots with manual settings. Keep the videos coming, the subjects are so alike to what I am shooting here in the North East of Scotland.
