I did this particular course with Mark and I would say without hesitation, it was one of the best workshops ever. Mark knows the birds activities so well that we mere mortals get to capture some of these amazing birds. He is a great communicator and it shows in his workshops too! Recommend this to all his fans to visit him, you will love it.

Mark - you are not only an amazing photographer, but your storytelling and explanations are on point! Truly excellent. Thank you!

Your videos are always so educational not just about camera gear and photography technique, but about the animals you photograph.

The video title doesn't do the content justice. Don't mind the gear, this is some of the most amazing bird footage I've seen in a long time. Phenomenal.

These are spectacular images and video, but you have made it to another level of enjoyment by adding your amusing and informative narration. Thanks Mark, can't wait for your Part 2.

Amazing alliteration:59 seconds in and no one is surprised. It’s just part of the show. Great job as usual!

Those spoonbills shots at 4:59sec and after are simply out of this world:) The colours are breathtaking! Thank you for sharing with us!

When i am shooting birds for a whole day, i am happy when i get home with maybe 2 or 3 pretty good and sharp shots. What you deliver is out of this world my friend.

Jaw on the absolute floor at 12:10, that is incredible both on nature's part and yours to bring it to us all. Kudos!

Mark just the joy you put in the video makes it very pleasant to watch, great job!

It's about time Sony made you an ambassador Mark for your fantastic photos and film making. Great job, thanks.

WOW, amazing shots, every one of them can easily be an award winner.

I'm really looking forward to this - it'll be great to see the settings you're using on the A1. Mark, your videos are always a great combination of beautiful photography and useful techniques and tips!

Awesome pictures Mark. Really showcases the A1's potential.

Those colorful birds...great work once again, Mark!

Was at this site with you in 2019 and I highly recommend that workshop to everyone.!!! Great memories and pics that I will cherish forever.

Another wonderful Video Mark! Congratulations! looking forward to your A1 and 200-600 thoughts and A1 Set up guide.

Best video yet. You kept me smiling all the way through the video. Thanks Mark

More fantastic images and great video/storytelling. I will definitely be picking up an A1 to go with my 200-600. Thanks for the great content Mark!

Mark - You do such an outstanding job combining great storytelling with incredible photography!!! I look forward to taking one of your courses.

I'm speechless, simply one of the best Birding photography, congratulations.!!

Wow Mark those are some amazing shots. The colors out of the A1 look fantastic. The details are amazing as well. Thanks for sharing.

Great images and commentary, as always, Mark. Thank you!

Mark, I love your vids, they inspire me so much!

Amazing work. You’ve definitely helped me realized how much I truly love wildlife photography & using the Sony system has been wonderful. So thank you for that.

Love the way you tell a story through your photographs!!

Mark, you are the Bob Ross of photography. So calming to watch.

Your story telling along with the fantastic photos makes you one of my favorite photographer out there- Great Job and keep it up

Incredible photos and video! Amazing work.

YES! Finally! The camera in the right hands haha!

I don't understand who can't dislike this video lol. Great work!!! I think this is the best video you ever made!!! I love all the pictures you took!!!!

Amazing pictures Mark! Absolute the top!

Amazing images. Fantastic movie clips. Altogether incredible, 10/10!

I have no new words to say....amazing stuff as always! :)

Great stuff Mark. Always enjoy your skill and enthusiasm.

Best bird pics I ever saw! Kudos bro!

I bet a lot of people have been wondering about this combination. I certainly have been! Looking forward to your thoughts 👍

Magnificent Mark. You’re an artist. Great video and pics.

Awesome video! Can’t wait for part 2, I just got the A1 and love what I can do with it. Would like to see a video on how you set yours up!

Your voice and commentary remind me of the classic surf films I used to watch back in the day. Also, epic captures. Cheers

That must be some of the most incredible footage I have ever seen...I still can't believe how clear and vibrant that was...I wish i could afford the A1....Great work Mark as always....Thank!!! PS. So entertaining man!!

Awesome and usual Mark! Very well done. Thank you!

The channel with the best footage of all the wildlife channels.

Beautiful, I really enjoyed this NATURE DOCUMENTARY.... it’s nice to knowing the equipment being used , in my opinion the subject matter and your ability to successfully take us along with you in your experiences out wiegh the gear every time ... thank you MARK

Wow, Amazing Mark! How can someone give a thumbs down for this video? Keep up the motivating work that you do.

An A1 footage again! Thanks MARK

We both love to watch your video. Especially this episode, it seems to tell a story. 👍

7:40: "I would even go so far as to say that this bird is really showing off." - That sentence made my day :-) Absolutely stunning video, very nice to see good content instead of just specs (which most already know anyways or can easily look up), please keep more practical videos coming

Great reminder of the time I spent with you a few years ago at this amazing place. Some of my best Spoonbill images for sure. I have had the A1 for a few days. I would describe it as "sticky." It seems to stick to the birds like nothing I have ever shot with before which is fantastic. Getting used to the new menu system is challenging, but early days with the camera is impressive. Nesting time in Florida is great. The birds are so predictable flying back and forth gathering and delivering their nesting material.

WTH gives thumbsdown ? This is a brilliant video with so much info, a joy to watch. Thanks again, Mark.

Incredible images Mark - you da Man!

All of your images and your storytelling are wonderful but that blue heron shot is just breathtaking!

Wonderful video and images Mark!

Awesome video again! We like your interesting explanation of the birds actions.

First let me say thank you. This was a fantastic, informative and excellent showing of a great camera and lense.

Your Pictures & Videos were simply Mind Blowing Awesome!

Incredible photography as always Mark. These videos work perfectly well for people who have no interest in cameras as well, which is a testament to how good they are. I still think that the location/weather/your skill is 95% of the shots, but your point about high frame rate and composition is well made.

Awesome video and photos. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos and making it to a story. Greetings from Denmark

Awesome! Keep up that fantastic work!

I’m not in to bird photography, but this is the most beautiful bird photography video I have seen . Loved it ❤️

Great review and looking forward to part 2

Incredible photography, as always!

Mark, I think that I have watched most of your videos and have appreciated your great help. It has been so good to have a fellow bird photog guiding me along while I take the same journey in switching to SONY. This time I used your A9 set-up vid as a guide for the A1 setup. I hope that you could do an A1 set-up for bird photography AND video. I am about to go to High Island Texas for a hopeful bird fallout next week. I will be using the A1, with the 200-600.

Just awesome!! Tnx so much for sharing! Can’t wait for the follow up!

Those last shots with the water drops are brilliant

wow! another amazing content i can't say enough how amazing you are on what you do!

Amazing pictures from a perfect match, a photographer and his camera !

Amazing shots. Really enjoyed your commentry too.

Great job with the story telling. Really enjoyed it.

These are some of the best photos ive seen wow

Incredible footage, Mark.

I recently bought the 200-600, so I was particularly interested to see your content. I haven't yet taken it into the field mostly due the times we are living in. Your video inspired me to try harder to get out & capture some of the wild things near by me. Thanks for your efforts.

Another awesome video, you are so talented!

Excellent pictures and video, Congrats !!!

Perfect timing.. I'm getting this gear today... btw Mark... you are dong a great job thank you.

Wonderful images. Can't wait for the next one and your feedback abougt the Sony A1.

Awesome video Mark! Your photography and videos are the best I have seen. Also, thanks for the great conversations and helping me with photography. I learn a lot from your videos how I can improve my photography. I have been a couple more times and the action has been very good. I took your son's advice and was able to remotely control my GoPro with my iPhone. I have some interesting videos that I may share. Thanks again, Scott

Looking forward to seeing this. really like your videos and how you tell your story regardless of equipment :) reminder set Cheers Ronny

It’s nice to see you are enjoying the Sony gear. I’ve been using the 200-600mm for the past year, but haven’t quite made the move to the a1. Great video

As usual, sir you never disappoint anyone and here in my case also. Eagerly waited for this video sir and after watching it, feeling very much satisfied with your those really amazing incredible shots. Never tired to see them. Sir please make more videos like this. Stay safe. Love from India sir 🇮🇳.

Absolutely stunning Mark 👌

One word, exceptional!!!

Beautiful shots loved

Amazing images Mark looks a great setup.

Great video and fantastic photo`s of wonderful birds

I've been following your channel ever since I bought my a9 with 200-600. Your method of story telling has evolved and is now so smooth and captivating. Great job! I like the way you don't particularly push the A1 throughout the video. I'd have liked to see the EXIF for more of your amazing shots, though, and also more info about the video settings you used for the capturing the videos.

Mark, Another lovely video with the spectacular coloring of the Spoonbills. A couple of your shots of them coming straight in with he blue background are frame-able! I'm hoping my A1 arrives soon and looking forward to your review of the rig you used, i can already see from your shots that it will be quite positive.

10+. No words needed from me, your images do the talking.

A few salty viewers gave the video a thumbs down. They must live miserable lives, finding such uplifting images and footage worth a thumbs down.

Thanks, awsome pictures!

Awesome Mark. Great stuff.

What an awesome combination excellent skill and from what I've just seen one of the most amazing cameras. The details captured and not just one lucky shot but straight one after the other a whole string and series of them! well done man! I see why it's so expensive hope the tech trickles down the chain into the future cameras.

Oh my ! - those spoonbills are indeed fabulous, even though I didn't know they could be so gloriously coloured !! I'm loving your photography, Mark: I am a fan of birds, having come to them late in life, and your shots show me birds I will never get to see with my own eyes .. so I thank you sincerely ! The shag swallowing the fish with the loooong sharp 'beak' was a sight to behold. :) Never thought s/he'd do it.

Amazing footage. Thank you for this

Amazing footage the photo's are Simpling stunning Quality Thanks

awesomeness!! thank you...i feel the excitement of the day!

Your youtube is awesome for young and not so young, very helpful regarding the Sony and Sony Lens, very fascinating story teller. Love Mark

Couldn’t left without subscribe your channel. Enjoyed a lot

Fantastisk billede, har stor glæde af at se og høre dine fortællinger, next level 👍👍

The first image just knocks your socks off!
