I’m not sure what’s more exciting…you amazing images and video or your commentary! I look forward to your videos more than all the other photography vloggers combined! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark. Love your videos. Your commentary is so fun and authentic.

you are such a talented guy. your content is so far ahead of anyone else on KZfaq who's doing anything similar. im honestly amazed at the footage your getting. keep em coming buddy im loving it

Wow Mark, I've been watching your videos for over 2 years already and I cant help but to appreciate the amount of skill you posses and the amount of inspiration you've given me. Please keep releasing amazing content like this I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. Thank you so much!!!

Favorite part: the Golden Hour. The photo’s and video are really very sharp, especially considering the TC. Good combo employed by a good photographer and a top-tier story teller. Great job as always! :-)

Simply outstanding - your passion and skills are second to none among the bird photographers/videographers I follow.

This is the best video of yours that I have seen, I congratulate you and you motivate me to continue improving my photos. Great job.

Your photography and alliteration alike are a beacon of beauty in dark days. Much thanks to you, sir!

Love that golden light! The skimmers are pretty neat too

Beautiful shots at golden hours! love the how the light falls on the water...showing golden reflections. Lovely!

I loved the shot with the golden water! This was a great teaching video. I love watching & photographing the skimmers also. 😊

I have followed you for years, never commented. I must tell you that your videos are better than Nat Geo. The content, the narration of still as well as videos are excellent! I purchased a Sony A1 6 months ago and your advice and demos were a big part of it. Thank you Mark so much. What I have found with the A1 is at bad lighting - overcast days - in the shadow shots - the autofocus tracking is not reliable in these low contrast situations. (Using the 200-600mm lens). Also my findings showed the Nikon D850 shots with heavy shadows, exceed the capabilities of the A1 to recover details when editing the raw files of these very dark areas. I also thank you for your A1 setup tips - manual ISO adjustment on the dial and battery saving solutions. I pass your name to all photographers I meet at the many various locations I travel to. You are an asset, a talent, and an important part of my photography. Thanks again for all you do, keep it up!

Glorious light on those skimmers during the golden hour Mark.

Pure joy to watch, and totally agree that the Golden water shot is amazingly good.

AMAZING Mark!! LOVE Skimmers and your photos are absolutely wonderful!!

got to love that 240fps slow motion for birds, even lens shake becomes smooth panning !

Congrats Mark, nice to hear your engaged! Thanks as always for all the time you put into these excellent video's.

Absolutely stunning Mark. I now understand from the footage how the sunlight was reflecting off the bridge and back on the water, wow :)

I love, loved that golden water photo and this was a great teaching video Mark. I also love to watch & photograph the skimmers, they are such unique birds. Thank you 😊

Another outstanding video and photos. I love the photos of the skimmers and the golden hour and the water looking kind of gold. Wowed you are one talented person and we appreciate all the tips and videos thank you so much.

Excellent demonstration of the difference from harsh bright contrast light to soft and warm tones only seen when low sunlight is available. This variety also changes according to light penetration so I assume there was little or no cloud cover on that evening? Light is as always key to the way we see all life when even black can appear shinny white and defused light can alter the normal spectrum. Many thanks for your skillfully constructed images to show the wonders of light when captured in still shots to enable an in depth study. Keep sending such beautiful sightings we all love them together with your helpful commentary. Best wishes. Rob. B. - UK.

Woooooow! Awesome shots! I especially loved the ones where the water is not all orange but blue with these orange spots scattered around. That just looks stunning! Thanks for the amazing video.

Excellent Video and Amazing Photography Mark. Thank You.

Your video skills along with your photographic skills are sublimely undergirded by your story-telling! I love your videos; thank you for sharing your skills with us!

You never disappoint Mark. Amazing footage of those incredible Black skimmers. These birds can be extremely quick at times and your panning technique is very well done.

Beautiful Mark. Many thanks. Wonderful photography!

Flock of seagulls Conspiracy of skimmers Murder of crows Ostentation of Peacocks A Tidings of Magpies The names given to the groups is quite interesting. Great shots of those skimmers by the way.

I am absolutely stunned! Thank you!

Congratulations Mark on your engagement. If you announced it earlier, then clearly I missed it. Wishing you many years of happiness.

Been watching from the start. Always such awesome content I literally look forward to every week hoping you’ll share a new video. You’ve gotten my spark for wildlife photography over a year ago & it’s an obsession now. I wish I would have pursued it years ago 🍻

stunning photos, mark. Your work is so inspiring, and you storytelling is top shelf, brother.

Amazing shots and handholding a 1200mm lens for steady video is quite a skill! Thanks for sharing

Spectacular. Thank you for your colorful narration.

Awesome as always Mark. Your narrations are the best and the photos and video are second to none.

You can't beat Golden hour awesome work, light birds are always difficult in harsh light ! 👍😍

Loving the golden time, in birding or train/airplane photography (which I do).

Skimmers are as amazing as those last images are beautiful. I'll be definitely sending a link for this video to my friends. It always makes my day better when you release a video. 👍👍

What an amazing video Mark. Your videos are so pleasing to watch.

Another great and inspiring video Mark! Thanks! ps. congratulations on your engagement!

Beautiful shots and a wonderfully constructed account of how how you got them - Thanks Mark

Mark, We have been waiting to see this since you showed us some footage on your phone that next morning. We went over that next night and the skimmers were there but not the amazing light you had. It was still and incredible experience to watch them. LOVED your video (as always) and hopefully we will run into you again, maybe at Conowingo. Thanks Bob and Susan

Another amazing video and amazing behaviors! Amazing photos as always and breath taking colors. Your videos just keep getting better and better! It's inspirational!

Great information and explanation of waiting for the light!! Looking forward to your Z9 videos!

Love your videos Mark. Their both informative and entertaining. Thank you!

Mark, another great video! Keep them coming, you do an amazing job!

Simply amazing!

Magnificent photos!

Good stuff Mark! I always look forward to your videos.

4:43 - is an eye opener on how precise the birds have to be considering the beak is that thin. 5:37 - seeing the pass finished in successful catch was perfect timing on your part. Also made me think how small each individual catch is, therefore requiring A LOT of work to fill one's stomach :) 5:42 onwards - proves a point that it's a good idea to scout your site prior to shooting - those bridge reflections were fantastic, liquid gold of the golden hour. Thank you for sharing your work!

Great video Mark. have done a fair amount of skimmer shooting and also know that if you watch them, they tend to get a fairly repetitive flight pattern which you can line up on. love the progression of the golden hour light. keep up the good educational work.

You nailed it. Great work.

Stunning shots.

Spectacular photos, Mark, and your presentation style is great, as always. :)

Great work Mark. Beautiful pics and lesson!!

Another amazing learning video. Keep them coming!

It is always very enjoyable to watch your video clip, you are The Best!

wow! fabulous footage especially since it was taken hand held. yes the light plays a very important role in photography . keep the video footage flowing.

Absolutely awesome!! Thank you so much for your continued education.

Awesome video! Love your great narration skill and photography passion!

Great footage as always Mark! Thank you for sharing it with us!💖👍😎JP

Amazing sequence of lightning. Keep the awesome videos coming. I always preview on my iPad and then rewatch on the 65 inch in 4K. Happy belated Birthday!🎂

Another terrific video Mark! Those Black Skimmers are really amazing birds. BTW, congrats on your engagement & I wish you guys the best! 👍👍😉😉📷📷

Wow, awesome video Mark. I like the golden water shots. Looking forward to your next video and your review on the new Sony 7IV for bird photography.

Love your videos Mike. They are an audio-video treat with your great story telling👍👍😄 Impressive handholding technique with such a long lens and tracking moving subjects👏👏👏

Golden water, great capture.

Beautifull!! The Golden Hour is Amzing. I will be heading to Florida in Mid April.

Awesome shots…Great tutorial too..Ty Sir

Amazing indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful images and video Mark. Awesome.

Very informative, a good lesson on waiting for the shot. Great images too.

As always. "Most Excellent" Mark

Excellent video Mark.

Amazing photography!

Some incredible stills and videos Mark, just fantastic.Thanks a bunch for sharing these with us, cheers from the UK. PS "Your fiancé " huge congrats buddy, wishing you both all the very best for the future.

Great vidéo as always

Awesome video Mark!!

Amazing video, great tips.

OK, you can handhold that thing, something mere mortals or perhaps the less gifted among us cannot. I stand in awe as usual.

So great. Learning a lot from you. Thank you so much

Brilliant photos📷👍🏼

Really great images. Lovely.

La paciencia y esperar el momento oportuno es algo esencial y que todo fotógrafo debería aprender a valorar. Mi momento preferido sin menospreciar al resto, es la hora dorada, esos breves instantes en los que la luz nos brindan esas oportunidades que no debemos desaprovechar. Un saludo.

Wow.. great captures. Very nice. 👏😍

Beautiful images.

Thanks, great advice

Beautiful shots and video.

Greetings from South Africa... Awesome stuff as usual Mark... We too get African Skimmers , but ours operate on our inland rivers and waterways. Unfortunately here, in Africa, they are now endangered, but always a privilege to shoot when we are in the appropriate places... Keep up the great work. Take care, and be safe outr there...😁

Very beautiful pictures! 🤩😍👍

Superb as always. When you are back from your birthday trip would you consider making a Sony A1 video set up guide - what are you shooting at, why…? There isn’t a lot of video set up info on KZfaq for the A1.

Amazing video!!

Great stuff!

It was nice to meet you today at the Saint Augustine alligator Farm and rookery. I look forward to reviewing more of your videos.

Yep - Awesome light. Mark, you live in a place where the sun goes down so quickly. The golden hour in Sweden at the Baltic Sea is so much longer. Perhaps you made a lot of great shot during that show time. Thank you.

some great work Mark

Excellent!

I'll go for your favourite shot at c6mins 36secs. Oil paintings? Seems you've placed among the great Masters. Breath-taking photography Mark. This gives a special pleasure. Thank you.

Thank you 🙏

Mark this series just takes my breath away. Since the colors are what makes these images (besides all the camera technique) I'm wondering what WB you use in the Alpha 1 and what Profile you are using if you use LightRoom. Thanks again and I was glad to hear of your engagement. That's just terrific news. Best to all.
