Bird photography from a canoe - In search of the osprey

[@DaniConnorWild]

You have to visit again! It was so much fun 🤩

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

I'd love to! Thanks again for having me 🙂

So calm picture! Like it. Can’t wait to also be in nature and far from those big cities

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Thanks

[@brianmckeever5280]

Terrific images, the one @ 7:54 is my favorite.

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Thanks

I've been following Dani Connor's channel for a long time. She has great videos, especially about squirrels. Fabian, you could ask Dani a few questions in your video about wildlife photography and her plans for the future, this would make the video even more interesting. Good luck with your work, good pictures for both of you.

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Thanks! Maybe in another video 😊

You could try using an anchor and be less restricted to calm days either way good luck and keep it coming thank you

Thanks

Tell your friend there Fabian get a camouflage cover for that big 600 .

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

That‘s a 400/2.8 😉

不同的场景，变焦，定焦确实很让人纠结。感谢你的分享😁

Hi, love your videos. Was the canon R5ii out when you filmed this ? If so was there a reason or reasons why the R5 went with you? Thanks in advance

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Thanks! Yes, it was filmed in July

[@bonilsson3161]

You could use a heavy piece of rock and rope, making an anchor. In low wind it will be a help, in stonger wind its too unstable. I think a "packraft" could be a better floating tool, I have one , have still not tested it for several reasons but I certainly will try. I have also noticed that the osprey sometimes are inactive quite some time, maybe they got a fish out of sight and hence are just digesting that meal.
Nice video, beautiful lake, and interesting birdlife, loved that short sequence of the flying cranes, what lens did you use for that, was it from the canoe?

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Thanks! I think it was with the RF600/4, but could also have been the RF100-300/2.8, I‘m really not sure anymore. But yes, it was also from the canoe

hi Fabian
Sometimes an environment can be very challenging to still come home with good photos. I wonder if the Om-1 MK II with the 150-400 would not have been an easier to handle option. anyway nice video with beautiful images.👍

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Then I could also have taken my RF100-500 from home 😉 The problem of lowlight and background blur remains

[@theflyingdutchman7127]

@ When you crop, your background is also destroyed, I see that happen with many crop photos, and it is something that many people do not realize. A 45 megapixel camera is nice to be able to crop, but it also has many disadvantages, such as a background that is completely destroyed. it is better to frame them properly as much as possible. hopefully Canon will release an affordable RF 200-500 F/4 very soon.

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

@@theflyingdutchman7127 Yes, that's why I also used my 600/4. There is no equivalent lens for the MFT system (a 300/2)

[@theflyingdutchman7127]

@ the Olympus 150-400 (in full frame 300-800 at F/4.5) is the MFT counterpart.

[@FabianFoppNaturephotography]

Nope, that would be a full frame equivalent of 300-800 f/9 when it comes to depth of field
