      pro trick : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies lately.

    Steve - fun to see you hang out with Mark Smith & son Torrence. I follow Mark as well. Really enjoy the photography he shares here. I spend winters in Ft Myers, Fl area - so utilize much of Mark’s info for getting out down there. Will also check out Isaac’s channel. Appreciate what you guys do. 👍

    I was on my way to buy some Camo clothes to be sure I didn't miss any wildlife photography but you know what? After viewing this, I'm on my way to get a red cap. LOL! That was funny to see my two favorites youtubers on the same video. I really like what you're doing Guys. Bravo.

    Back in the early 90's I found some owlets looking down at me from the crotch of an enormous dead Cottonwood nest to the river. Excitement surged and I thought "Man I am going to get some excellent photos today!" That excitement faded quickly and turned to concern for my safety. I felt a strong presence that made me turn around. Sitting on a fallen branch not 10 feet behind me was Momma Great Gray Owl staring fiercely into my eyes flexing her Freddy Krueger talons. My first thought was how easily those talons could pierce my skull and end it for me. I talked to her calmly and slowly made my exit. Her intense gaze never broke eye contact until I was about 100 feet away when she then flew up to her funny looking kids. She reacquired eye contact and I decided to just let them be for now. I went back the next day fully prepared this time but they were gone.

    Looks like a great trip out in the woods 😀 I totally agree about the 500 PF having just got one - I was trying to photograph a minke whale at the weekend and it was so easy handholding while waiting for it to surface!

    Fun video of you guys pursuing owl photographs together. Steve, just wondering how the Nikon 500mm PF is treating you. A friend of mine is considering buying one and I just wondered how you thought it stacked up against the faster Nikkor 500. Sony's new 200-600mm looks like it might be a real game changer for wildlife photographers. Thanks again for sharing this expedition.

  • @guilhermeteixeira3841
    @guilhermeteixeira3841 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm laughting about the difference in the lens size ahahah the extra stop doesn't compensate for the fact that you can not use without a tripod. I'm thinking to buying the nikon pf instaed the sigma 500mm due to this point xD
