Nikon 180-600 Rainy Day Bird Photography with Z6 Camera!

- In today's video, I spend a few rainy hours in my back porch blind making bird photos with my Nikon Z6 and the NIKKOR Z 180-600 f/5.6-6.3 VR telephoto zoom lens. It took a little while to get going but eventually, I bagged a few decent photos. Thanks for watching!

Wonderful. I happiest in my yard and blind with all the same birds. Life is good.
Thank you! I agree, you don’t have to photograph rare or exotic birds to have fun.
I own that same lens with the z8. At 25ft, It will be so easy to get a 45mp image focused on the eye. No need for pin-point focus box just use the wide large focus box and you are good to go.
Nice!
Practice, Persistence, and Patience ! This is what it takes to capture these beautiful creatures.
I’m impressed You managed to get some great shots with that ‘antiquated’ Z6, Phil! 😯 😂 I am sure there will be some great buys coming up on Z6’s, mainly Z6II’s, with the coming release of the Z6III. I’m thinking about picking up a Used Z6/ Z6II.
Hope You're doing well, and stay safe and well, and Happy Shooting!
Thank you!
I like the soaking wet shots. If I was a bird, I would be happy to be in the rain. Thanks Phil
Thank you, Pam!
Nice shots! I liked the video of the chipmunk at the end.
Thank you, Stephen! Go VOLS!
@@PhilThach Go VOLS!
Indeed! Cute little buggah! 😊
Really nice photos with that Z6. I still love the images mine produces.
Thank you! I was always dissatisfied with it for birds in flight. But I have had plenty of luck using it for perched, birds, landscape photography, and even sports!
House finches are abundant in Northeast OH too. We’ve had one with yellow coloring that has shown up to our feeder twice this year. At first I was stumped, like what the heck is that! A little searching on Google told me this is a genetic aberration! I got 1 bad picture in the spring, but it sure keeps me vigilant at the feeder this year! I wish I had a blind set up like yours to be a little more stealth. My feeders are in the backyard, close to the house. I literally have to go out the front door and around the house to get a shot without spooking any potential subject, and hope they are still there!
I've never photographed a color aberration bird in the wild. I hope to photograph a yellow Cardinal someday!

Thank you!
Good stuff, Phil. You didn't ask, but let me give you an identification. I think the fly at about 1:30 is actually a "Flesh Fly." (Macabre name, but they are attracted by the same things that attract House Flies.)
Thank you, Bill!
Great rain soaked shots! That video of the chipmunk at the end was just too cute!
Thank you!
Really like, "the struggle is real" bird photo.
Thank you, Leon!
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 🐦❤️
Thank you!
Always look forward to your videos Phil. Good job !
Thank you, Roger!
Beautiful work Phil. I was just out with that lens this afternoon. Thanks for sharing the photos 👍🙏
Thank you!
I just got the Z8 and I can tell you with that 180-600 lens it's a killer combo. For BIF it's amazing. Overall I'm impressed with the combo after having both for a week or so. I just need to figure out the AF settings of which there are many
Z8 seems like a really great camera. Congrats!
@@PhilThach thanks it's been pretty impressive so far
If only that constantly calling Phoebe would come to the perches lol
I agree! I hear it all the time but rarely get a photo.
Enjoyed it!
👍
Thank you!
Phil, I shoot canon R5 with the 100-500. How does this lens compare? Nikon sure tempts me on the lens side. Maybe a matchup of the 2 lenses? For now, I’m waiting on the R7ii to see if the reach and features with my lens is a good combo. Canon is so slow to bring out new gear, I may just get tired of waiting! I will never own a monster prime due to cost and tbh weight. I will stick with medium price range for my gear. I really enjoy the channel, thanks for doing these!
I have a video that compares the Nikon 180-600, Sony 200-600, Canon 100-400, 100-500 and 200-800. ruclips.net/video/0_C6CYyodLg/видео.htmlsi=hlFOi26k1tv7GF4x
Seems you will be getting z6iii soon 😂
I looks like it’s going to be a really nice camera. I think if I was going to buy a Nikon full frame right now, I’d rather buy a Z8.
Is it possible to do this in a Nikon d800 with the 200-500mm? Thanks! Nice pictures!
Thank you! Yes, a D800 with 200-500 can capture similar results.
@@PhilThach ah, thank you so much!
@@PhilThachI have a last last question and I’m sorry for talking to much but with the d800 and the nikkor 200-500mm is the autofocus is quite fast? Or just slow.. thank you so much and sorry….
Any upcoming video on Z6iii ?
I might make a video explaining why I won't be buying one. It does look like a really great camera. Just not for me at the moment. My next Nikon will be an unannounced Highline DX camera or maybe a Z8.
Yes Z8 is far better than Z6iii... if Z6iii will come with full stacked sensor with higher Megapixel then it can worth upgrading from Z6/Z6ii @@PhilThach
If it has a fully stacked and higher mp sensor, it is a Z8.... You're waiting for a camera that already exists?
@@bradcofoif Z6iii was a more than 30 megapixel stacked/ partially stacked sensor then it will be a new camera in Nikon lineup... Which is not going to be the Z8 that already exist
Phil, this is off topic. But, I was wondering if you were taking pictures at the Barrel House Ball Room in Chattanooga on Saturday 6/22. My Son was playing in the band. He said A guy was walking around taking pictures. I thought it may be you.
Hi Bob. No, it wasn’t me.
@@PhilThach well, who ever it was he did a great job. It did look like your work.
Original Nikon Z6 has the best image quality of Nikons current mirrorless line up imo
Are there any issues using silent shutter and photographing birds? I have it on my Z 5 too. I have used it with bird photography when I'm close to the bird spot.
If the bird is moving quickly there can be rolling shutter distortion when using the silent shutter. So, when doing birds in flight, I suggest not using silent. For perched birds, silent is fine.
@@PhilThach Ok good to know you've not had any issues with the silent shutter 😊
