    I just love your excitement, a true testament to how a photographer feels when exposed to nature and their favorite subjects, it's so fun to see you enjoying these amazing birds, I could only dream to have this experience, I live in a big city and all birds big and small are so hard to get close to. Happy to get to watch your videos, Trond! Beautiful footage and wonderful photographs as always. What were the birds eating, the one looked like it had something yellow all over its beak?

    I share your passion but unfortunately not your skill. A lot of people would say were mad but what i wood do to lie on the floor in no more than a coffin for hours on end to experience this.

    Superb video, as always! I once saw a young buzzard sitting on a fence at the side of a lane we were driving down. I opened my window and we got very close as I took the photos - my best buzzard photos ever! It really didn't seem worried by us and the pattern on its chest was so beautiful and unique. We went back several times in the following weeks and knew we were seeing the same one as it was so distinctive. Looking forward to your next video!

    @aussie8114 5 лет назад +1

    Awesome 👍🏼 Foreground blur looks nice and artistic but not a huge fan if it’s a bit too much. Do you think you might benefit from raising the camera up a bit. More comfortable as it is but you could sit it on a platform to raise it about 20cm. Or you could walk press down some of the grass between you and the road kill while it’s still dark. Just a suggestion.

    • @trondwestby
      @trondwestby  5 лет назад +1

      Thank you so much! The soft foreground I guess you either love it or hate it. For me I really like the artistic look it gives, and also the intimacy it gives to the subject. But its all about taste :) I have so many pictures of buzzards and hawks on perches from before. But thank you so much for the suggestion and for always leaving me great (and funny) comments :) Really great to have you on board this channel.

    I use my D500 up to ISO 3200 with no problem, have also used it at 6400 ISO with good results. I recently bought a used in mint condition D850 to complement my D500, the detail that comes out of the D850 is ludicrous. In regards to removing the noise without losing any of hte feather detail, I have been using DXOPhotolab for years with Prime noise reduction, currently on DXOPhotolab2, they justreleased version 3.

  • @stuartschaffner9744
    @stuartschaffner9744 5 лет назад +2

    Really nice to see all this, thank you. I'm pretty certain that the birds know you are there. If you search RUclips for "Lyre Bird Impression of a camera" you will find some amazing footage. Also, I can't imagine that the buzzard at 10:20 is unaware of you. My theory is that they know but simply don't think you are enough of a threat. Most scavengers are accustomed to competition for carrion. I think they have probably just figured out that those funny lumps that wiggle a bit and make clicking noises are unlikely to suddenly erupt with a charging human.
    Thank you for admitting that you placed bait. I see nothing wrong with that as long as you don't get animals too dependent on artificial feeding. It's also much safer for these birds to be eating far away from busy highways. Keep up the great work!

    And a little request if I may : could you write the name of the birds you see under their picture ? It would really help learn the names in English.
    Thank again for all those really cool videos you're doing !!
