    I really don't know what it is, but every time I've watched Z9 footage, I realized that it just looks incredible dreamy, cinematic with outstanding quality. I guess it's all about the rendering and color science. But need to say that whatever Nikon is doing it just looks amazing.

  • @robertbernard9546
    @robertbernard9546 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Im blown away by the images in this video. Great narration also. As a hobbyist on a budget I can't yet justify the cost of a z9 and 500pf lens so I need to live vicariously through videos such as this. I greatly appreciate the time and effort that you put into your craft/art.

    Hey Mark, as always amazing video and photos. You always ask which video or photos is your favorite and my answer is a really can’t pick a favorite. But in this particular video, I say my favorite (like you) is the Pelican trying to eat the Osprey. Unbelievable!!!!! Look forward to your next video.

    Thanks again Mark, great work! I had my doubts about the z9 but mine is working better than expected , Af falls apart sometimes against heavy trees but its pretty fast and sticky most of the time, bird behavior is amazing to witness, thanks again for sharing, also congradulations on your love life, I'm happy for you...

    My favorite part, all of it! Beautiful work and story telling. Nice to see Nikon back in the game. I know you've had a checkered past with the Nikon 500PF but even though I no longer (for the moment) shoot Nikon, I'm always interested to listen to what professionals like yourself have to say about the tools they use. Keep up the amazing work.

    Greetings from Connecticut. Everything is awesome these days, but this footage is truly so. I pity the poor photographers who think they can duplicate what you do simply by buying this camera/lens combination, or any other. I'm sure that your level of BIF technique takes years of practice. You are the man.
