Curious what your thoughts are on using the 300mm prime with the teleconverters. I’m trying to decide if i want to go that route or just get the 100-400. Seems like its a question of flexibility vs image quality. Also budget since the first option is like ~1000 dollars more if you include the TCs
@ the 300 with the 1.4 converter is great. The photo quality difference with and without it is only noticeable in poor lighting conditions. With the 2.0, the quality difference is very noticeable but it’s still more than possible to take quality photos with it. Crazy that you brought this up because my next video I’m going to do comparison/review of both the 300mm prime and the 100-400 lens and give my opinion on which is best for wildlife photography
Very nice shots and good to see how you split your day between birds and macro when chasing birds wore a bit thin. Really liked the fishing spider - but there's no way I'd be lying on the ground if its three inch diameter mum was in the neighbourhood! Like you said at the end, you don't need a camera, just wander about in a park and enjoy nature, there's always something cool to find.
Not a bad shot amongst them, have to say fiinding a fourite is as always very difficult with your images, the great blue heron is one of them and the cardinal (1st image) and the wren.....oh and the spider and of course the flowers. Told you, very difficult. You really know how to capture the species, even with the frustrations you had, you didn't give up. I also agree that spending anytime outside immersed in the natural environment, either with or without photography gear is the best way to spend time and attempt to escape everyday lie/worries. Thank you once again for another great video.
I can imagine how much trouble it must have been for you to bring another tripod and camera to record your activities. Good job, man. My favorite shot is the flowers.
It’s not too difficult honestly. I use GoPro cameras to record myself so the extra weight I’m carrying isn’t an issue since GoPros are small and compact
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 yeah I feel like I will always be the type that’s constantly walking around instead of waiting in 1 spot. I feel like I’m missing out when I’m sitting in one spot for too long
That night heron was real nice! Never seen one before. My experience with herons in the spring is, when they're getting settled in, they're really focused on food and the chances of them being more cooperative are really high between April and late June.
I liked the shot of the female cardinal, with the light catching her front and the way it shone through her beak. I am partial to the subtle coloration of female cardinals.

Looks like a lot of potential at that Nature Preserve. Hard to sit for a few hours when you're used to walking around. Nice captures Trey!

Awesome work!! and inspiring vid!! cant wait for my 300mm f4 to show up!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 hope you enjoy the lens
Beautiful video and photo's again, very impressive how you know all the names of the species. :)
Use Google Lens 😁
@@hungatonga74 Some people still actually know things. Incredible, I know.
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 some I know from just years of doing this but most subjects I use iNaturalist to help me ID them

I appreciate the tip. I’ll remember that heading into next year
