- I used my Nikon D850 for some bird and wildlife photography at a local reserve not far from my house in Queensland, Australia recently. The 45MP sensor in the D850 really does shine in some of these shots where I managed to get very close to my feathered friends. You can see the detail in their feathers, even lice living on them! Hope you enjoy the video.

The photos are amazing. The birds in flight - wow! So clear and detailed. The dragonflies too, they are so hard to catch. I loved it. It looks like a beautiful relaxed spot that you had all to yourself.
Thanks so much for watching. Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙏📸
What a great new location Adrian and the details in those wildlife images is incredible 🦢 The cormorant shots were my favourite almost prehistoric looking ! The council have maintained the area extremely well and it looks a great spot for locals to enjoy Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much for watching Andrew. It's a nice spot there and the little habitats you can walk between is awesome. You always see different birds and wildlife as you move through them. Hope you have a great week mate, take care 👍🙏📸
Another beautiful location you got there my friend. Pictures came out outstanding for sure you have so much flexibility with those extra megapixels. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a great weekend.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. Oh yes, those extra MP do come in handy when it comes to cropping. Have an awesome week my friend, take care 👍🙏📸
Great vlog and so many beautiful images Adrian. That D850 with the long lens produces amazing detail👌
Thanks for sharing mate.
Thanks so much for watching Colin. Yes, the D850 has always been my best friend when it comes to excellent resolution. I know it's a tad heavy, but boy I enjoy using it. Have a great week mate 👍🙏📸
Fantastic video. Loved the butterfly and dragonfly images. Looks like a lovely location with wildlife around every corner!
Thanks Courtney - I was actually very surprised what I found there. No idea the birds would be that diverse. Had a lot of fun that day. Cheers and hope you’re enjoying your weekend 👍🙏📸
I always enjoy seeing your beautiful Australian wildlife photos. The cormorant at 3:10 is shaped like our cormorant here but it has much more color. Heather and I are going to Hilton Head Island on the Atlantic Coast of South Carolina for a couple of days next week. It's going to be cold but we're hoping to get some wading bird photos, egret and heron as well as some coastal landscape photos. Thanks for sharing the video, Adrian. It's always a highlight of my Saturday spending a few minutes in Australia with you.
Thanks for watching Phil. Look forward to seeing your bird trip, that should be awesome! Especially with the lenses you have. Always appreciate your support my friend. Hope you and Heather have a great week 👍🙏📸
That camera sure is a beast. Love the detail on the swan shot, and what a shot! Got such a wonderful variety of images there Adrian, love the butterfly shots and the birds about to take off ✈️. 👌
Cheers Rauri, thanks so much for watching mate. I was surprised what I found there, I was just interested to see what the place had to offer and was not disappointed. Great spot for people to practice their bird photography. Have an awesome week and take care 👍🙏📸
Great video Adrian, what a stunning place surrounded by all that nature, bird photographers paradise mate. I love all the images but the details in the first swan image is a corker 👌 Thanks for sharing this beautiful location with us👍 Cheers, Cliff
I think you would love this place Cliff. The little habitats the council have designed work well and attract a lot of bird and wildlife. I think Kristy and I will go there just to enjoy the place next time (but knowing me I'll sneak a camera in somewhere 😂) Hope you have a great mate, stay warn over there and take care 👍🙏📸
As usually, you show why there is absolutely no need to get a new camera! Just wow, stunning photos Adrian. You make this look easy, but I am not very good at it so it is much harder for me. Awesome video and thanks for taking us along again.
Thanks David for watching, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the pics my friend. Take care 👍🙏📸
Great photos! It looks like a great place and a lot of fun!
Thanks so much for watching 👍🙏📸
Great Video Adrian amazing location, love the Egrets and Swan shots. great camera love my D850.😊
Thanks so much for watching Andy. Yeah great camera, love mine 👍🙏
Wonderful video Adrian! Loved, Loved all the bird images but especially that black swan being a wee bit shy ;) I haven't seen much in the way of wildlife myself recently since it's been a tad chilly but it's super fun to seeing you out and about in the warm weather. That 45mp sensor is just fantastic in the D850. One of the things I love the most about my Z7 II as well. Cheers and have a great rest of the weekend! 📸😀
Thanks for watching Rob. Glad you enjoyed the video. I have to admit I was surprised at what I found there. Some of those birds I've never even seen before and I've lived here in this area all my life! Yeah, the Z7II is so impressive. You have a firmware update coming out this week for it, version 1.10. Will give you better eye AF capability apparently. Also gives the Z6II 4K 60P video. Have a great week my friend, take care 👍🙏📸
Glad i subbed!! Also glad to see folks still showing love to our "old tyme" and Beloved D850!!
I saw "Wildlife" but no tripod... thought to myself "this is going to be good"!!
Good on Ya!!
Thanks heaps for watching, Have a great day 🙏
Yet again another great video Adrian, amazing park reserve. Great set of photographs on your camera. Great day to photograph. Many thanks for sharing your work - stay safe :)
Hi Shaun, thanks so much for watching. So glad you enjoyed the video mate. Hope you have an awesome week, take care over there in beautiful Spain. I guess your Spring isn't too far away now? Take care 👍🙏📸
@@adrianalfordphotography Spring has arrived - video this Thursday showing the Almond blossom :)
Great pictures! I’m a Nikon user myself and this video gave me a great perspective of what the D850 would do. Thank you!
Thank you for watching 🙏
Great video Adrian. Looks like an amazing location for wildlife photography, the birds seemed very tolerant of you! Loved the White Egret shots. Those are my favourite birds here in Florida, quite abundant as well here. Really enjoyed this video and look at this area! Hope you are well and keeping safe!
Hi Paul, thanks heaps for watching. I was so surprised what I found here. and so glad I decided to check it out. Like a little bird and wildlife photographers training ground. Hope you have an awesome week mate, take care over there in beautiful Florida 👍🙏📸
Wonderful episode Adrian. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching Jason, much appreciated 👍🙏📸
Hi Adrian, a great video - and it's quite difficult to decide for the best photo, to be honest - they are all just fantastic!
Really amazing how many awesome shots you got out on just one day of birds photography - without a blind, without considering the wind, just with photographing them like doing landscape photography :)
Enjoy your weekend,
Christian
Thanks so much for watching Christian. I was actually surprised to see the amount of birds I did. It's always rewarding to go somewhere and get more than what you were expecting. I hope you have a great week my friend, take care in beautiful Austria 👍🙏📸
Hi Adrian!
Congratulations, again an excellent video!
Great music selection!
Very clever!
Have nice day!
Good evening!
Huge like!
Many thanks Tom!! Hope you have a great day 🙏
Enjoyed your video. A lot of great images.
Many thanks for watching 🙏
Amazing images mate, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John 👍🙏
The pictures amazing as always Adrian 👍
Thank you so much 😀for watching Rod 🙏
Awesome as always Adrian. I reckon the D850 will always be remembered as the best all round dslr ever made. Have a great week mate.
Cheers Richard I’d have to agree with you about the D850. Doesn’t matter what type of photography I do with it, it just works. I had a lot a safari guys in Africa contact me via my channel and it’s their camera of choice too (with a grip). Hope you’re having a good week mate 👍🙏📸
Great Camera Vlog, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Tony, much appreciated 👍🙏📸
Wonderful set of images Adrian. Looked a bit warm there and as you say they have done a nice job with the environment they've created. D850 nailed it again, operator didn't do badly either mate!😉 Cheers!
Cheers Scott and thanks so much for watching mate. Yes it is hot here at the moment. Would much rather be in Norway photographing the northern lights to be honest. Hope you have a great week Scott, take care 👍🙏📸
Nice shots Adrian, I've had my D850 since it just came out , even though I got a A9ii I mainly use for wildlife I'm still keeping the D850, fantastic DSLR and gets me great shots of Peregrine Falcons
Thanks very much for watching Leon 👍🙏📸
Superb images Adrian, love the location and all the different species it is inhabited by. The Australasian darter at the end is one species that I’d really like to capture in detail and in flight as well. Hopefully soon:) I’ll be shooting some birds next month as well I think, been ages☺️. Great video as always! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks for watching Peter. We are lucky here in Oz with the great variety of birds we have. Look forward to seeing your bird pics when you get out a bit more. Cheers mate, enjoy your week ahead 👍🙏📸
Wow. What a location! Like shooting in a zoo! Great find Adrian. Really nice video.
Thanks for watching Paul. Haha, yeah it's like a little training ground for bird and wildlife photographers. Great little habitats to skip between. Have a great week mate 👍🙏📸
Jeremy the shot at 1.32 is stunning, I am sure there is a bird photography competition out there, you should submit this image! now I am gonna continue watching.
Thanks John. I’m not really a big one for photo comps as I don’t do photography for that reason. I mainly get satisfaction from seeing what nature has to offer in both landscape and wildlife. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍🙏📸
Real review
thanks for watching 🙏
Nice video, Like 128 and Greetings from Italy :)
Grazie mille 🙏 contento che il video ti sia piaciuto 📸❤️
Great video Adrian. So many excellent shots, especially the feather detail. The D850 will be my camera purchase for 2022 as I'm off to Botswana (hopefully). What lens were you using?
Would you also consider a video at some point showing your field craft and settings? I believe many would benefit from your experience.
Take care and remain safe, David
Thanks for watching David. I was using the Nikon AF-S 80-400mm G ED VR lens. I think you would like this video I made on the D850 ad how I photograph birds etc. th-cam.com/video/FWwDANSQ3C0/w-d-xo.html
That's a really impressive lake to take photos of birds! I really enjoyed your video! In germany, where I live, we have a lot rivers with little side arms, which offer a great chance to photograph birds. As I want to extend my lens collenction for bird photography , I'm researching on good tele zoom lenses for arround 1000 dollar for my D850 (and D5600). Do you have experiences with the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6? It seems to be a nice lens.
Thanks for watching - the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 is an outstanding lens for birds and wildlife. The only reason I don’t use that lens is because I needed a smaller, lighter yet sharp lens for traveling. If I didn’t have my 80-400mm I’d be using the 200-500 5.6.
@@adrianalfordphotography thank you for your quick response!
Sir may I know the video camera brand model while you are photographing. Video is so clear & cool.
It was a mixture of video from three different cameras. Some was from the Nikon D850 (the close ups of birds in slow motion) . Where I was talking to the camera was the GoPro Hero 7, but I now use the Osmo Action camera which I think is better. Also there was some footage from my Sony RX100 MarkIII, but I now use the Sony ZV-1 which is awesome. Hope this helps.
i want to get into wildlife photography
especially with that d850 camera
hope i like it🙂
It’s a great camera. As long as you’ve got the right lens, settings and technique then it provides some amazing images. Best of luck with your photography 🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography thank you
can you suggest some good lenses for close-up, street and wildlife photography?
@@skorpion_king wildlife = nikon 200-500mm - close up / macro = nikon 105mm F2.8 - street = nikon 24-120mm F4. All the above in F mount lenses to go on D850
@@adrianalfordphotography thank you very much for the help🙂
What is your bird lens exactly?

What metering mode do you use
Hi Darren - a majority of the time I'm on matrix metering, but sometimes with darker birds on lighter backgrounds I use spot metering 👍🙏
Nice video. Enjoy my D850 tremendously, but I’m a wide angle cat.
Thanks for watching Nigel. Fair enough on the wide angle. Either way it’s a good camera for both 👍🙏📸
I love this camera but can't buy because new mirror less system makes my mind confused , because the future is mirror less
Thanks for watching. Wish you all the best 🙏
Very nice, many similar bird species as where South Florida. What ISO were you using? When I out in similar light with my D850 I tend to shoot at ISO 800 to be able to keep a high shutter speed.
Thanks for watching Leo. Sometimes you don’t need a high ISO depending on what the bird is doing. I have my ISO set to auto between 64 & 2000. I mainly shoot in shutter priority and adjust quckly if bird is flying (high shutter speed) or sitting on a branch (low shutter speed) my settings can be seen on the side of the photos in video 👍🙏
What kind of strap are you using?
Was this one amzn.to/2NILKi7
I’m saving my money to buy one I’m only 13 btw my current camera is a Sony a320 without a lens the zoom is too low n my mom refuses to b me a new one cause she isn’t into tech stuff she feels it’s a waste of money
I hope you get your D850 soon. Thank you for watching 🙏
