Thank you so much! 😍 I'm going to do more videos during the winter now as the species vary trough the winter. 🐦💚 I'm actually writing this at Dovre where we are photographing Musk Ox - I've never done that before, and it was such an experience🦬
Great video. Does it really matter how old the camera is? I also take photos with old cameras (D800/D810/D7100) and am still satisfied with the quality. Maybe things are easier with modern cameras and there is less noise. But in my opinion the challenge and the joy of taking a great picture with an 'old' camera should not be underestimated.
Thank you, glad you liked it and you have some very good points. I guess I got a bit frustrated. It was the D7200 that let me down in the video, my D500 seem a lot more precise, better and faster, although I'm quite able to fumble enough to miss the shots with that as well! 😅 I supposed this is what the industry is good at - making us always want something newer and better 🤓
@@peterkumble4093 yes it's definitely not an old camera in reality, it's just that their so good at making us want the improvements! I'm dying to get autofocus while filming! It's driving me nuts to (try to) manually focus while filming small, fast and furious birds! 😅🐦
No doubt, the work that you are doing on piping plover (tastes like chicken we use to joke) needs to keep you following them. They do like to dart and run quickly. I like the idea of the Z7 or Z8 and sure I can use the adapter ring and keep all of my stupid expensive lenses. Maybe in a few years as the 800 is a kick arse body. @@frodeaardal
The 400 2.8 lens costs the same as 6-8 of your cameras, it’s easier to buy a new Z9 with an FTZ adapter and enjoy the coolest autofocus. The D500 is also very fast, but it doesn't have the latest eye tracking features.
I just subscribed after watching this video. I really liked your content and presentation style Frode! I look forward to watching more of your content😀
Thank you. A little bit frustrated there, but I'll have to stick with them for a while longer and just have to make it work 😉 Still pretty good cameras really, especially the D500, but the Z8 looks really nice to me 😋😍
Wonderful stuff - well done. I like the format of your presentation but bring to your attention the specific name should start with a lower case letter. Best wishes Gary from New Zealand
I guess many of "my" birds are coming over to you guys in Britain. 👍 I really like to see the "same" birds in our mountains, like the golden plover that is a typical summer bird we meet while hiking 🐦♥️
Great video! You've been very lucky that day seeing so many birds that close. Saw a lot myself during migration this year here in Germany but from a much greater distance. Where in Norway is this place? Bird migration seems to be a good reason to visit Norway again ;-)
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you liked it. The place is called Revtangen, and it's a very good spot all year, particularly in spring and, of course, fall :-) Revtangen and the waters around are all part of a connected Ramsar area, so birdwatching here is quite astounding! I think it's very well worth a visit, and if you decide to come, I'd be happy to show you both Revtangen and the other places.

So happy to have found your channel. I can relate to the challenges you have with your current gear, but what you produced here was beautiful.
Glad you found me! 🙂 Thanks for your kind words 🤩
I enjoyed very much. I felt all the excitement in my room. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mustafa! Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂 And I'm really glad you liked it! It means a lot to me.
I love seeing your shorebirds and thanks for the great videos, photos and commentary.

Fantastic video footage! Really enjoyed this presentation. Aging camera or not, your familiarity with it yielded wonderful results
Thank you so much for your kind words. I think I got some nice pictures, but I'm still frustrated over the ones I miss 😕 Thanks for watching! 🐦💚
My camera which I bought used went out of production in 2012 😂
😅 I bet it's still as good as when it was new! 🙂
Great video. Nice shots, info and relaxing music. Thank you very much
You're very welcome 😊 Glad you liked it 😍🐦💚
Great video, lovely photos and knowledgeable commentary.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🤩
Really enjoyed your video. Nicely done.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll make another video or two during winter as the species that are there vary a lot 🐦💚
Great video.

I use a D800 as well and it is funny to think of it as an old camera. My F2 is an old camera!

Great video. Love that you got the 400 2.8. Really nice lens.
Thank you! Yes I'm really happy with the speed and quality of this lens! 👍❤️

Thank you Stephen! It means a lot to me to hear that you liked it! 🤩
Lovely video - impressed with what you achieved with your ageing cameras 😅

Your offcourse totally right Gary. Thanks for the tips and kind words! PS went to New Zealand ones and loved it! 😍
All the bird's shown in your video are on my local coast line I've had lots of hours taking photos of them ... Northumberland UK.
