Hope your surgery(s) go well. I also had a cyst removed at L4 but anyway, I thought you had said that you probably wouldn't get the Z9...? Would you still be allowed to land at that military base with current aggressive activity in the Ukraine?
Hello! Thanks a lot for your video, I got some inspiration. I have a question. Can my lenses (modern lenses canon ef 70-200 f4 and Sony 70-200 f4 e-mount) get fungus? I am really afraid for them
Nigel, as an amateur photographer with a bit of heart trouble and a defibrillator, I often feel very physically limited compared to other photographers. I can’t tell you enough how inspiring it is to see all of the great work you do with a pacemaker.
This video is from a year ago. It looks in your more recent posts like you have overcome the health challenges. Especially since you are getting ready for another Antarctica adventure. Hopefully this time everyone makes it. A trip I would one day love to make. The photos you shared are fantastic. Thank you!
HAHA! Stamped with covid! 😅 I am very happy you guys had a great expedition, but damn I am sad I missed out - especially on the whales and that storm! Gorgeous Photos!
Glad to hear there are so many safeguards and restrictions regarding visiting Antarctica. It would be nice if this pristine landscape never becomes a tourist destination.
That will never happen, not only for environmental reasons, but also because there is a secret UFO base. Not kidding. The evidence is more than enough to convict someone of murder. As a famous UFO/UAP researcher said, the amount of evidence on the issue, "is an embarrassment of riches!" Okay enough crazy talk, great video, Z9 and 100-400mm both look amazing, although I'd much rather have the 70-200mm f/2.8 S with 1.4x TC and a second setup with a longer lens, I personally have and love the 500mm f/4E VR FL and since it works so well with the TC-14E III, I'd probably have a 1.4x TC on it as well for Antartica! You obviously can get away with a 400mm and Z9 due to the megapixel count. But I really think if at all possible you'd be better off with a 500pf or something like the new 800mm f/6.3 S! I just got back from Yosemite and I used my 70-200mm and 500mm FL lenses much more often than I thought I would. For the "Firefall" event a couple weeks ago, I almost exclusively used the 500mm FL and mostly with the TC-14E III.
@@aorr When considering the sheer size and scale of Antarctica, and comparing the numbers of tourists it sees compared to pretty much any other location on Earth, I think it can still safely be regarded as pristine...
What an amazing experience being able to see all that beauty in Antarctica! Thank you for sharing those spectacular pictures you took with the 100-400mm! It is an amazing lens in the hands of an amazing photographer! Keeping you in our thoughts for a speedy recovery! Things will get better than this!
I had almost the exact same injury about 5 years ago. Follow the rehab, don`t get ahead of yourself and your recovery should bring you back stronger. Great images!
Exceptional scenery. I never knew about the rules and restrictions when visiting Antarctica but I support it 100%. Anything to protect such a beautiful environment. Striking and beautiful images too.
What a gift you have with the camera, Nigel! Your photos are the best I have seen from this trip. I especially liked your 2 meter pano. My favorite lens is the 100-400mm and I am glad to hear it worked so well on your trip. You have such a good eye for composition and light. I learn so much from viewing your photos and watching your videos.Good luck with your MRI.
What an amazing insight into what looks like a spectacular trip. Looking forward to seeing next weeks video & more shots! Good luck with the ongoing recovery.
Fascinating video with beautiful/stunning stills and video content. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery from your knee injury!
Was there in December 2019. Most beautiful place I have ever experienced. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Seems you missed the fun of the Drake Shake though!
As a Sony user, my 70-350mm is on the camera almost permanently now (105-525mm equivalent). You don't realise with landscapes how far away you are from the thing that your brain has already imagined at a scale and size bigger than it will appear on a standard lens. People often make the mistake of trying to get the entire spectacular scene onto one photo and end up with very distance landmarks it a flat and wide image. Framing is the key!
We are twins Nigel !! I too have a pacemaker and have wrecked my knee ! I know wha t you are going through with the MRI /pacemaker situation . Inspirational what you do and gives me confidence as I am a new pacemaker user . Great video thank you 🙏🙏
@@NigelDanson yes totally, Not sure where you are based but Addenbrookes in Cambridge were offering private appointments at fairly short notice as most private hospitals don’t offer this service .
Nigel sorry to hear about your accident. Thank you for sharing your adventure, Enjoy hearing your experience and your tips. “God speed on your recovery!”.🙏🙏 Take care and be safe. “Go Giants!”
Such an engaging video; I thoroughly enjoyed it. I LOVE (love!) your panoramic shot with its amazing colour variations, well done! What a fantastic memory. Thanks for sharing.
A 100-400 mm is not only a good wildlife lens on APSC cameras but also a great landscapes lens for any camera to pick out details of the environment, it is also good for times when you can't get close to your subjects, i use it for landscapes ,seascapes, wildlife and lighthouses in the middle of the Hudson river, where I live in NEW YORK STATE.
I shared this video with my wife. We just loved it. It must take every bit of your experience, knowledge and photographic instincts to take such incredible landscape photographs that are beautifully composed and resist the temptation to just point the camera at all the amazing scenery in a place like this and just hit the shutter button. A true lesson in landscape photography. The old adage says you never get your best shots of a place on your first visit. So heal up that knee and get ready for a great 2024 trip Nigel! PS...really felt bad for Mads.
Beautiful images Nigel. I now feel validated on my use of my 100-400 for landscapes. Ever since I purchased my Sony GM 100-400 a few years ago it has been my primary lens for shooting landscapes. I love this focal range. And your point about foreground objects is so true, it is very difficult to include much foreground when using such a lens. But that is its power, isn't it? You have to love the compression. Can't wait to see your wildlife shots.
Nigel best wishes for a speedy recovery sir! I loved my trip in 2016 and we were able to go on land a fairly good bit... disinfectant yes, bag seed check no, but we were not allowed to physically disturb any wild life... so if a penguin came and sat on your shoe, you couldn't move until the penguin decided to move on... :) Yes! the wind at Deception Island was intense. The Blues in the Ice were just wow. Beautiful content Nigel, simply fantastic. WOW that Pano !!
What a great experience Nigel. A lot of hard work and endeavour for sure. Some wonderful shots. Particularly like the one just after 20:00 and of course the panorama. Really looking forward to seeing the next video that you have teased us with !
Great video. When I started in photography I did it for landscape photography, since everyone recommended the use of wide angle, I bought the camera with one. After a few months, in love with moon photography, I bought a 150-600. In the end, I ended up using more for landscape 150-600 than the wide angle...haha. The recommendations are fine, but there is nothing like testing yourself to realize what you like to do and what equipment is best suited.
What an amazing adventure and great photos. I didn’t know about the safe guards to protect the area. I am very glad about that. I saw an experiment once that showed if you used a lens hood on a warm lens in cold weather you can create a heat haze right in front of the lens that will soften all images. Once the lens temperature matches the ambient temperature the problem goes away.
Wow!! Amazing footage. Thank you for sharing and I absolutely Love the Penguins. Your pano shot is stunning also. You never disappoint Nigel on your videos. 😊
Love the penguins at the end! They really are quite humourous. Thanks for sharing. I've been enjoying each of the videos that various ones of you have done from the Antartica trip.
Awesome Nigel! A couple of weeks back you released a video where you fell over, I commented that I want to see the fall in a comedic way (not to see you hurt yourself). Now you have hurt yourself I feel a bit guilty! However, you obviously go the extra mile to please your audience so well done! Seriously though amazing photos as always and get well soon, my Sunday morning coffee will not be the same without your videos so let’s hope you are back out asap. 👍
Such a beautiful, pristine place, and I love your pano - it’s just how I remember it from about 15 years ago - breathtaking! I hope I can join you and revisit in 2024. 🤞
Having watched Adam, James and your vlog, what amazes me is how stable you all got your footage, like the cameras were on granite...outstanding work. The excitement in your voice throughout is brilliant, and hardly surprising considering what you brought back. The book is going to be incredible. And that pano, my house isn't big enough to display it 😂
Wow, I am blown away seeing that large pano you shared. That’s a great recap and recount of your trip to Antartica, I really like the images you brought back to shared. Thank. If you would share a bit more on the number of images captured and technical details to create this pano. Thanks so much for sharing this review of the Z100-400.
Glorious images. Or perhaps more appropriately, a glorious place. Thank you for sharing these. Stumbled upon this as i’m considering buying the 100-400. Cheers
If you only had a bigger printer Nigel. Still it’s a wicked print, so well done. And for obvious safety reasons you can’t just go wandering around in Antarctica. I am guessing that it’s nothing like you’ve experienced from your Iceland trips in terms of scale. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of your photos from this trip. Thanks for sharing again Nigel. Stay safe 🇦🇺
Nigel, epic photos beautifully composed and presented as always. I hope the Peak District isn't too boring for you when you are able to get out and about again. On that subject best wishes for a speedy but solid recovery. You will be pleased to know that you are in the category of people I know or know of over the age of forty who ski but now realise they don't bounce so well anymore.
Wonderful photography, really beautiful Nigel. 📷 Your ideas and suggestions about using the 100-400mm lens is really very interesting and "eye opening". It does not sound, nor did I hear anything about you using any filters on any of your photography. The changes in the weather surely had a tremendous effect on the colors in many of your photos. That "pano" is magnificent, well done, BRAVO!! 😎 I really appreciate all the terrific details and information. You did a great job.👍 I sincerely hope your knee issues are not a serious issue. In any event, I wish you all the best, whatever your doctors recommend. 😄
What an experience. Super images. So sad that Mads missed this but he has something to look forward to when you go again in two years. Love the penguins. Take care of yourself.
Amazing...enjoyed this so much...thanks for sharing your incredible photos but also thanks for sharing something so beautiful and peaceful in these trying times that we live in at the moment....
Great video. Definitely filed under "how stoked can Nigel get". Must have been amazing to have different weather systems rolling through. Just one comment about the end of the video; there's some lovely footage of Penguins doing their thing but then we have two links that pop up plus your logo (right in the middle of the screen). Not complaining, just a shame to not be able to fully appreciate what you wanted to share. Can't wait for next week! Cheers.
Whoa... Epic on top of Epic. Great video, I can see the excitement pouring out of you. Very inspiring. Great to see you in the Southern Hemisphere - the best Hemisphere 😉
Great film Nigel, many superb photos, loving the pano too. I really like the telephoto images and as much as I like wide angle shots they can make the points of interest appear very small within the frame, telephoto landscapes images allow us to see so much more detail and they do have real impact! cheers.
Love the light in that print of the jagged peaks. The weather changes were so amazing your video really brought me back, and another trip. Try, try again.😛
thanks for letting us in your Antartica adventure! I really wondered how you dealt with the constant movement on the boat and zodiacs and not having the time to look for the best composition (or eat an apple ;-))... thanks for giving us all the details and tips! Your pictures are amazing as always! Antarctica is for sure on my bucket list!
Thanks for sharing ! I bought the Sigma 100-400 f/6.3 for my Canon full-frame when our holiday in 2020 got cancelled due to Covid. Besides landscape photography I also like bird photography and a kingfisher in the local park gave me much joy of that lens. About a year ago, the Fagradalsfjall volcano was about to erupt and that meant that I wanted to go to Iceland ASAP. Due to the pandemic and vaccines not becoming available in my country soon, I had to wait until mid July to get there. By that time I could no longer get close to the eruption itself so I even bought an 1.4x extender. I enjoyed shooting with the lend with and without the extender.
I have watched several of your Landscape videos and I continue to learn about your style. I hope I can join you in 2024 God willing that my good health remains the same.
sorry for the knee pain. I use to be an avid runner until i tore my achilles and then years later tore my minescus. They cut it out. I still have issues but i backpack and try to run. I hope your going to be ok. Knee pain sucks bad.
Thanks for watching everyone. If you enjoy this video please consider sharing it and giving it a thumbs up! Thanks!
Hope your surgery(s) go well. I also had a cyst removed at L4 but anyway, I thought you had said that you probably wouldn't get the Z9...? Would you still be allowed to land at that military base with current aggressive activity in the Ukraine?

@@NigelDanson It's hillarious! We'll give it another try ;)
Bad luck, must be gutted.
I felt so bad for you when Nigel said you were unable to continue on the trip. Can't begin to imagine your disappointment.
That truly sucks! Very sorry to hear. Hope you are doing better.

Unfortunately it already has…
The number of tourists visiting are already creating huge impacts for the area…even with the safeguards by IAATO.
No it's just a top secret govt place for chicanery and secrets
@@aorr that's unfortunate...and these photography workshop tours to Antarctica seem to be part of the problem...and to Greenland as well.

Amazing place and photos Nigel! I’ve ordered the 100-400, so it was nice to see the image quality and reach to be had from the lens 👍🏼.
These are amazing. Loving the abstract images, and how the snow makes such clean lines! Looking forward to the wildlife next week.
I have the Z100=400mm S lens and I bought it on your recommendation, after seeing your epic video! It is super sharp and I'm over the moon with it.
That shot with the boat and the mountains is stunning
You and James were so lucky to get to a place hardly anyone on Earth gets to. Great shots!
Fascinating video with beautiful/stunning stills and video content. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery from your knee injury!
You got so many incredible pictures out of this trip, unbelievable 🙆♂ Great Video, hope your knee will be fine soon!
Very inspiring photos, and helped me decide to go with purchasing this lens. Thanks for your review and sharing the stellar photos you took
Fantastic to hear about the safeguards regarding Antartica. Unworldly images. Looking forward to penguins next week. Love them, so much character.

This is one of the best reviews for Nikkor 100-400 I saw, and will help me to chose between this lens or the 600mm TC.

What a great video with amazing pictures from Antarctica. Thanks so much for taking us with you.
So many great photos (no surprise there) but the one that really took my breath away was the abstract glacier photo! WOW!

it was difficult

Simply breathtaking images!
I have watched several of your Landscape videos and I continue to learn about your style. I hope I can join you in 2024 God willing that my good health remains the same.
Your videography is exceptional. Makes me think capturing the best single image is harder! That whale tail shot though... magic.
sorry for the knee pain. I use to be an avid runner until i tore my achilles and then years later tore my minescus. They cut it out. I still have issues but i backpack and try to run. I hope your going to be ok. Knee pain sucks bad.
Wow! Simply amazing.
What amazing trip. Antartica is one of the place where I've always dreamed to go. Take care great photographer .
Absolutely brilliant mate.
