Two fish on one dive. That's a shot that will never leave my memory. Outstanding.
"i have never seen anything like this" yeah, enjoy the magnetic pole shift while photogenic nature scenes are all it's doing
Every now and again an absolute gem pops up in your TH-cam list. Today was one of those days. Great vid and that shot with Osprey and jumping fish in the background WOW!!!
Thanks!!
Amen ! Instant subscribe - love the narration and epic content !
This is “planet Earth” level of story telling and video quality. A seriously good job.
Thank you very much!
@@MarkSmithphotography I absolutely loved the shot of the Osprey with those two fish, but mostly because of the 'shake' that it gave to remove the water, much like my two Golden Retrievers! Fascinating to say the least!
Couldn't agree more!
Hell! BETTER than Planet Earth!
Waaaaay better
Huge respect for you using you own content for this instead of curiosity stream clips etc like the rest of people on TH-cam. The level of detail of your shots is amazing!!!!
Thanks
Where on the East Coast was this filmed @@MarkSmithphotography

“a feast of fresh finicky fish” - your writing skills are way up there with your photography skills. Somewhere an old English teacher of yours is smiling! Great documentary!!
Lol, thank you very much. No surprise English, science and art were my favs!
I have to agree with these comments - brilliant photography and narrative….love it! 😊
@@beel3489 thank you!
I agree!
This is easily one of the best wildlife stories I have every seen! I could feel your blood racing capturing these incredible sights... and with such detail too! You are an inspiration Mark, I keep telling me friends about you. And now that I have moved to Canada, I look forward to chronicling some of Mother Nature's wonders as well. Love your stories and your high art. Well done sir!
Thanks
The shot near the end with the Osprey's wings fully extended high above its head looks angelic, impossible, so symetrical, once in a lifetime, and award winning. Thanks
Reminds me of scenes from Predator...
The whole thing was my favorite part.
Agreed. I started watching just to check out a snippet, but couldn’t stop watching to the end. Great job
You need to get out more
The whole of the United States is my favorite state.
Same! I'm late for work 😂
Outstanding video Mark! Visuals, narration, music, WOW! Just WOW!
Thanks
Mark, that was just spectacular! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
The only thing more amazing than the events of the day is the fact that such a skilled photographer (and story teller) was out there to capture it! Thanks for sharing this awesome footage. It’s a priviledge to watch!
Thanks
Fantastic photography!. Who knew that Dana Carvey was also a great photographer?
Party on Garth
Jokes aside, this guy was awesome in the x-files, the lone gunmen are best!
@@davem6685 every time he said "mullet" I imagine Garth at the beach getting attacked by these birds
I loved how the osprey with the two fish shook himself, to get the water off, just like a dog!
That last shot of the bird catching two fish at a single time was the best for me😧😮😀wonderful and beautiful at the same time
Thanks
OMGosh...Dude! Epic! This Native Floridian Beach Bunny is blown away! Awesome from start to finish, especially the double-fisted fishing at the end! And all a clear example of why I never surfed during mullet migration!
Amazing stuff! My favorite segment was seeing the fish flailing around INSIDE the pelican's pouch! Also love the "shake off" the Osprey with two fish does. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work, really enjoyed this. I spent 27 years working as camera service technician both military and civilian. I love to see what a highly skilled photographer can produce with today's technology.
Wow, it’s exciting to watch. Great job👍👍 Thanks for sharing 🤝🤝
Those shots are amazing you rarely get a day of shooting like this, the pics and footage you obtained were top notch. I bet you felt on top of the World for days after shooting this! Thanks so much for sharing seriously good stuff.
Thanks
Simply stunning! Both the natural event and your capturing of it. Thank you. I know again why I look at so many TH-cam videos, to find a gem like this!
Thank you!
"Luck favors those who are prepared." Some incredible images there, Mark - WOW!
Thanks
What a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Wonderful videography and photography!
Another epic combination of video, stills and commentary! Thanks
Just marvelous, so thrilling! I love how well you explain the action we’re seeing.
Thanks
Love it. So many good moments, the fish bleeding out the water,, the bird flighting with the to fishes. The sun raise was great. Nice colours.
Thank you!
The majesty of Nature. Thank you Mr. Smith, fine work.
I live in Pennsylvania and I was lucky enough to take part in an Osprey reintroduction program my neighbor got me into. We got to feed the fledglings with donated catch from boat launches. When you watch a immature bird shred a fish like wet tissue paper in person you gain a whole new understanding. It was more than impressive.
Awesome
What an incredible presentation! The Osprey has mesmerized me all my life. I've been fortunate to see mullet runs several times in my life while growing up along the beach. What amazing photography! Thank you!
Thanks
How amazing this was!!! Never saw something similar! Bravo!
thank you!
GREAT JOB, MARK . THANKS FOR ENJOYING YOUR QUALITY REPORTS WITH FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHIES .
Absolutely terrific video, Mark Smith !
Favorite part of course was "skiing " osprey, as he wiggles his shoulders. With my first DSLR, EOS 10D, I followed Arthur Morris, "Birds as art". You have filled that spot with the wonders of new technology allowing you to showcase your amazing talents. THANKS!
Thanks
I followed Arthur Morris and devoured "Birds as Art", have not heard from him lately, you?
Wow! I can't believe how well you were able to capture that day with so much going on all around you. Action Overload! Seems like you didn't miss a single thing, just as focused as that Osprey that caught 2-fish in one go. Keep the great videos coming please.
Thank you. It was an amazing experience!
You are the Osprey whisperer! I enjoy your videos like no one else. Your narration is spot on, quick witted and keeps me on the edge of my seat. It was also great to hear you say how your arms hurt, etc. That shows your dedication and consuming desire to get ALL the shots you can while being part of the adventure in front of you! BRAVO!!!
Totally loved the video!!!I visited a college friend who lives in the Cocoa Beach area an we spend many hours at the beach and most of it watching the Ospreys grab fish out the water. Despite spending a lot of time on beaches around the world that was my first time ever experiencing that. I've definitely grown a new appreciation for the Osprey and their giant nest!!!
Great video. I have a suggestion for the future. I actually thought the speed was the normal playback speed, until you mentioned 4x slow motion. It would be interesting to see the action at full speed sometimes, just to give us an idea of how fast and hectic things really are.
Great suggestion!
You can also speed it up on your laptop speed.
He would have to talk a lot faster. Maybe if the normal speed was in separate video with no narration? Or show some of the coolest clips at normal speed, at the end of the video
my favourite part? the whole thing!
the shots and footage are incredible and the amazing storyteller you are, you make it even more interesting to watch. thank you so much for all the effort and love you put in these videos!
Thank you
I had to come back and watch this again, a rare thing to happen on TH-cam. Really great, thanks
That’s awesome! Thanks so much !
Amazing. Just amazing. Thx 4 sharing this moments with us.
Sheesh That Thumbnail Is Great Mark!
Absolutely brilliant. Loved this, and your 'story line' was the icing on the cake :-)
Thanks
Ospreys are awesome birds. So quick and agile.
Omg, absolutely incredible!
So Awesome can't tell you how cool was this day. I love living here. see ya on the beach.
It was!
My favorite part was from beginning to end
Exactly!!
Osprey u love these birds. I also got to love them the fotos u shot they were action pack my favorite shoots were the Osprey opens its talents wide their eyes glow w the sun hits there eyes I just love to see them in action. All your shots r Awesome 👌👏 but my favorite is when the Osprey flaps its wings they are beautiful birds. Great job!!!!
Mr Smith: Your work is incredible!
This was so action packed I forgot where I was. Just wasn't long enough..Thank you Mark! Marvelous footage and great shots.🙏🔥❤
Thanks
My favorite was the 2 fer the osprey caught. The whole thing was action packed and awesome to watch. Thanks!

Bravo! Absolutely beautiful!
What amazing footage. The best!
Absolutely beautiful work, even the music was perfect. The thumbnail photo is cover worthy.
Thabks
Love ya bro 😘😘👍
Most incredible footage I have ever seen. Totally amazing.
Thanks
Thank Mark, your videos and pictures are like medicine. Love so so much :)
Great action photos as usual Mark! Wish that I could have been there to witness that. We have a similar frenzy happen on Long Island Sound in the fall when "Bunker" (aka, Manhadden) are chased by Blue Fish & Striped Bass. Nature is really amazing! 👍👍😉😉 Hope that you are doing well in FL.
I have heard about the bunkers!
The seals are eating the Menhaden in Maine right now (or “Poggies” as we call them). Millions of fish in the bay at high tide.
did you upgrade to the A1 ? i am about to go get my copy in an hour.
Of course
@@MarkSmithphotography i just my copy today. cant wait to set it up and go out. A1 and 200-600
love those photos of the osprey before entry. Really emphasises their talons
The whole video was my favorite! Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
Wow man! TH-cam must be so proud of this channel! I just spent one of the best 13:40 minutes of my life! Thank you Mark!
Wow, thanks so much!
I am japanese.
I am looking forward to it every time.
Wow!! Amazing as always and I always enjoy your commentary.
I'm awestruck! Absolutely magnificent in every way. You do exceptional work. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Mark, intense music for intense video and photos! All that was missing was a mullet haircut during a massive mullet run! 🦈
lol
Mark you said you don’t use auto iso, how do you set up your exposure for birds? Do you have a video on that? I’ve been shooting manual at 1/2000 at widest f-stop on auto iso?
Not yet, but I will soon. I am making a setup guide for the a1 and a tips and tricks video for sony shooters.
@@MarkSmithphotography Looking forward to your setup guide for the a1. :)
@@MarkSmithphotography Thank you Mark!! I just recently got my own A1 after renting a few times, a setup guide from you would be fantastic!
Terrific work, what a wonderful combo of sheer luck, great gear and wildlife. Congrats.
Breathtaking creation. Wonderful, so glad I found this.
Thanks
I could be wrong but I think those where Jack crevalle and not Amber jack. Usually the Jack crevalle are the inshore species and the Amber jack is a deeper water offshore species
You do stunning work !!
You might be right! Thanks!
Agreed.....crevalle are related to pompano and permit.....all shallow water fish for the most part.
Not Jacks or Amberjacks...They are SNOOK...Never the less a fantastic video and pictures...
Snook at the beginning, Jack Crevalle later
FAAAAANtastic!!! So many favorite shots, especially at 2 seconds when for the first time I saw the multitude of mullets jumping out of the waves; and at 11;22 sec with Osprey with fish and background of fish. Other highlights are 6 sec. Torpin; 7;10 shark; 9.3 sec. Arrows pointing to sharks (important), 11.30 Osprey with skis" lol. Great mix of stills and action and exciting narration. I would have liked to have seen some time-stamps of when photos were taken. Luv your new hair style!!! Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant work.
Thanks for all the great compliments!
Simply fantastic ! Nothing more to say.
Amazing footage! Thank you for putting the work in to capture all this for us.
oo
XX
Wow! What an experience of a lifetime!
I love the magnificent Ospreys! I wish to see one in the wild someday!
That is incredible and amazing! So we’ll done and such great narration! Thank you.
Outstanding video and shots of the birds. Thank you so much for sharing incredible photography!
Fabulous surreal photos! Just amazing, what a talent.
Thanks
Right place at the right time, with the right person to capture the moment. Amazing.........;)
Thanks
Splendid. Brilliant. The joy of that day. And a man was there who knew through study, practice, and achievement how to save some of the best of the images to share with us. Thank you.
Thanks!
What a beautiful shots. Thank you
Great Osprey shots, the one with all the mullet in the air while the Osprey flies with a fish in it's grasp was my favorite. Thanks, Mark.
