Hi, glad you liked it. We will have used many shutter speeds and apertures throughout the day depending on what we were trying to achieve and the light conditions

Oh dear, that’s a shame. Have you figured out why? Could it be vibration from lens stabilisation. Another thing could be that it might actually be the image previews in lightroom (or whatever) you are using showing a low resolution version.

Thank you so much for leaving us a comment. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you. We’ve been a few times now and it’s always had good water levels. I did wonder how it faired after a dry spell. Also not sure if the water levels are controlled upstream. I particularly like the variety of shots that it offers and unlike a lot of our falls it isn’t overwhelmed by surrounding woodland

Have to put the time in to get the shots. To be fair there wasn’t much time between the bird visits

Thank you as always. Glad you liked it

Thank you. Yes, they make a great / fun model!

Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by and dropping us a comment. Much appreciated

Thank you! Yes it’s a stunner

Thank you

Thankyou!

Thank you!

Hi, Sony A7rV, Sony A9, Sony A7 IV, with combination of sigma 500mm f4, Sony pz28-135 and Sony 70-200mm. Lots involved with getting multiple shots. The last shot in the video was filmed on 3 cameras at once

Precioso video, la música maravillosa... muchas gracias por compartir.

Yes, they're amazing. Thanks for leaving us a comment. Enjoy your photography, it's a brilliant hobby

Thankyou!

Thank you for saying so!

Thought you would like this one. Glad you did

Thank you! It's a very good set of falls that's for sure

Merci!

Thank you!

Thank you as always. Plan most definitely is to keep them coming

Thankyou for the feedback, very much appreciated. We have another bird video coming very soon, be sure to subscribe

Thankyou for taking the time to leave us a comment, it's very much appreciated!

Thanks! Being in a hide helped massively. Helps us maximise our time and opportunities, and gave unique perspectives that just aren't available to get without being in a hide at water level

Hi, yes, not ideal. The stream next to the site where they usually fish, and their live bait comes from, was in flood, so live fish were in short supply. They were also baited with live fish as well, at least around 50% of the fish they took on the day were live.

Thankyou. Not the best photo but a nice walk for sure

Thankyou. It was a baited hide with a mixture of dead and live fish. The hide is next to a fresh water stream where the Kingfisher usually hunts as well, but the stream was in flood meaning that a live food supply was hard to catch for the owner of the hide, and the kingfisher!

@@QuietScapes Thank you. I didn’t know kingfishers also ‘hunt’ dead fishes, good trick!

Thankyou, and welcome along

Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. It's case of needs must I'm afraid. I work full time and my son is at Uni so currently we have to maximize opportunity. Plus we simply wouldn't be able to get these sorts of shots with wild birds as we don't have the portable hides etc needed.

@@QuietScapes Yup I have 3 kids at Uni,and had to give up work to look after my disabled Wife, spend all my free time luckly on my local river 5 minutes from my house looking and photographing Kingfishers. Life gets in the way quite a bit. Keep up the good work

Yep, it sure does! Have you got a link to any of your shots?

Thankyou!

Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment

Thank you!

Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thankyou!

Happy to help in some small way! Thanks for leaving us a comment. Hopefully you get out soon

Glad you liked it! We shoot our videos mainly with the A7IV and the A7RV so unfortunately they are limited at only 4k 60fps. But I completely agree with you, 120fps would have been amazing for this!

Me? Oh, the Kingfisher! Thankyou for watching

Thankyou for your kind words, very much appreciated!

Hi Nick! Absolutely, 100% agree. Almost impossible to do get these shots without it being a hide. Huge admiration for those photographers who have the time to invest in that. I work full time and Boy Wonder is at Uni so we have to make the most of our time. Plus, controlled or not, it's amazing to interact with these birds. P.s. Huge fan of yours so went a bit giggly when I saw it was you!

@@QuietScapes Thanks for the kind words, I have been dabbling in Wildlife, and it is so incredibly difficult to find those interactions unless you have just tons and tons of time so i totally get it.

Wildlife in the UK is particularly difficult as we sadly don't have the abundance and variety these days. We get excited over Red Squirrels! Looking forward to seeing the results of your efforts!

​@@NickPagethe hard work is in the scouting. But if you find them in s suitable location they can become relatively predictable. They will almost always land on and try a new perch if you put one out where there aren't many occurring naturally. That said I've come home empty handed more times than not. Using paid hides are a great way to get the exact shots you want and I never get bored of being so close to these birds but in my experience it's never quite as satisfying as finding and photographing ones you've scouted and found for yourself

Thanks for the feedback. Choosing music is actually one of the hardest elements of putting this sort of thing together. Lots of other folks liked it, but appreciate it's not going to please everyone. Glad you liked the video though

Hi, thanks for watching! Glad you like the video. We shot this on three cameras, and used a Sony A7rV and Sony A9 for the stills. They will have been at a range of between 7 and 20fps depending on which camera and the scene. Sometimes we wanted speed, sometimes we wanted resolution.

tnx@@QuietScapes

Thankyou!
