Photographing Herons with a Tragopan V6 Blind
Переглядів 19 тис.2 роки тому
One of the biggest challenges in wildlife photography is getting close to subjects. A photography blind is one of the most important tools in a wildlife photographer's arsenal for getting into camera range in places that would otherwise be impossible and to shoot in places where no one else is shooting - a local woodlot, marsh, or your own backyard bird feeders. A good photography blind also mi...
A very strong start Gerrit. Clear, well video'd, engaging, tips with some technical bits in there as well. Plus, the most important point, entertaining. Thank-you
Much appreciated!
This brought out a fond memory of my family and I watching in awe at a family (male, female, two young birds) of these birds foraging at Grey Lake, Torres del Paine National Park; and I agree with some comments here, while the male is stunning, the female doesn’t stay behind in the primeval-kind of beauty these woodpeckers evoke so much!
She is a stunner - thanks for watching and subscribing!
Dall’s sheep are absolutely amazing! Almost just like albino bighorn sheep.
They’re pretty cool for sure!
Just fopund your video and really loved your photographs.
Awesome, thank you!
Nicely done. There are four Campephilus species here in Brazil, besides many other genres of woodpeckers, like Colaptes, Celeus, Melanerpes and Piculus... come and visit our forests...🎉🎉🎉
You have more of everything in Brazil :) I filmed the Araripe Manakin several years ago in Ceará. You can find that video on my website.
@@GerritVyn That's nice, I'm gonna check it!!
Oh!! This was so fabulous to see. I was there at almost the exact same time as you were (based on an ebird post I saw with your name on it!) but I certainly didn't get up to where the sheep were. So fun to see your photos of them and of the beautiful landscape, the magnificent colors and The Mountain!!! What an incredible experience it was to be there!
Hah, that’s hilarious. Hope you saw some raptor migration up there too!
Hate it when the human world interrupts quality time in the great outdoors! Lovely vid!
You said it!!
Beautiful scenery and well presented! Always enjoy seeing your work, you must have the best job in the world!
Thank you!
Love the colors that time of year, thanks for sharing this stuff with us. What month and week is this?
Last week, September 4th
Incredible scenery and wildlife, beautifully filmed and edited! Thank you so much for sharing this view of paradise.
Many thanks!!
Was really hoping you'd capture a glimpse of the half man half bear that made the trail you were hiking.
Love your work...
Thank you!
Wow! Absolutely stunning scenery and wildlife!
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful landscapes and the colors are crazy!! Thanks for sharing this trip! :)
Thanks for watching!
LOL@SwanSycrax…..just typical. Just getting into photography myself , and as much as i hate to say it, it is almost 100 percents better that you find a secluded hide out. I have had the best of both worlds myself, I was born and raised in the West Midlands in Birmingham, left when I was 18 years of age, that some 43 years ago, and now live here in the USA, Atlanta Ga to be exact.
I love shorebirds as well and this video really inspires me to get out and do more with them. I love your approach of scouting out a location and being prepared with either a blind, or in this case, appropriate clothing and then coming back and getting the shots. All of these have been so helpful and inspiring. And of course your photos are extraordinary. Please keep them coming as you have time. (And I loved your book).
Awesome! Thank you!
very good work !! Thanks for your video
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Wonderfully filmed and put together, to show the behavior and habitat. The dusky grouse looks a bit like the spruce grouse we have where I am in Northern New Hampshire and Maine, but they are in thick spruce, so we don't get to see them in the open usually. Always a treat to get to see your work, thanks for putting it up here!
Thank you very much, John. I photographed a displaying Spruce Grouse just yesterday in Alaska. Not sure what he was doing displaying in August!
Such Ana amazing display of courtship. That little run at the end though made me giggle
Love this video and the little sandpipers. So beautiful ❤
Thank you so much!
Omgosh! Anyone else yell at the tv “The water! the water!!” when the little wave came in? 😂
😂😂😂
Oh man, this is so cool. It's amazing that you got to witness this.
Yes, I visited this spot several times over the years and always enjoy these birds.
Great video! what lenses are you using?
Mostly shot on a 600mm and a 70-200.
I really enjoyed the way you edited this to create the story, with a lovely mix of zoom levels on each of the birds. Just like watching a nature documentary, thanks!
A great insight into the behaviour, habitat and sounds. Loved this short clip
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work, great video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see this bird in wild one day!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Merci 🙏 très intéressant mon ami ! 🎥🎬
Wonderful video. Thanks for showing us how you do it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
such a delightful little creature! wonderful vid
Many thanks!
WAIT!! Don’t bait! Such amazing creatures … love this adventure!! 🙌🏼 fabulous images & vid footage i would love to see these beauties in a setting like this
Thank you!
Another great day out with nature’s beauty/gifts to us to enjoy & protect. outstanding captures 😍🫶🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
These images are 🔥❤️🔥🙌🏼 stunning! ✨🏆✨ 😍 i saw that little wave rolling in and im saying wave coming wave coming at the tv 😄😄 but you didn’t hear me 😅😉 truly enjoyed watching this, i got a link to this vid via email from Tragopan Blind that i subscribed to awhile back. Happy i clicked on it!! Sub’d ya here at YT too looking forward to viewing more of your work 🙏🏼🫵🏼
Thank you so much 😀
Incredibly informative video. Enjoyed it. Never heard of a Ground Pod, definitely food for thought. Wondering if you used the Z9 to video the flying Sanderlings. Will look at your other videos as well. Take Care and Stay Safe, Dale
Thanks, Dale. Yes, all of the bird stuff was filmed on a Nikon Z9.
Terrific video, Gerrit! Your ability to teach, photograph, and inform is so much appreciated! Please continue the great work that you do for the endangered avians, and continued good luck for the future.
Very much appreciated, Tom. Thank you!
I'm glad I stumbled upon your and your work while researching blinds. Beautiful GGO images!!
Thank you!!
Great info! Lots of fond memories tucking into blinds before dawn, jittery from excitement and sleep deprivation. Proud to share Tragopan products with my workshop participants - just collected two Monal V2's from the field that look like new after weeks of wind lashing.
Thanks, Jess. It’s pretty amazing how well the Monal does in heavy wind. I’ve continued to be impressed. Hope your workshop participants are enjoying the view!
🙂👍
Great!
Spectacular images from a spectacular area! Hope you're feeling better!
Many thanks!
What were the specs on the shot of the moon! What lens? Really impressive! Great shots of the Great Gray!
The video shots? They were shot with my 600mm with and without a 1.4x.
Great video Gerrit, What a woodpecker, although males generally always steal the show the female with the hair doo really does take the prize! Lovely and relaxing and great to see a naturalist & photographer at work. Hope you are feeling better now, and best of luck with your next trip. R👍
Thank you, Richard. She is a stunner!
Outstanding video. Your presentations are alway interesting and informative.
Thank you very much!
You should try this here in Florida we’ve got thousand# of blue herons and egrets
Always a great place for wading birds!
This was a treat to see this beautiful woodpecker species I will probably never get to see in person. Sorry you got sick but at least a silver lining was that you held out long enough to get this experience in.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Just Amazing. Many Thanks For Sharing.
Thank you. It is a wonderful trip!
Such a beautiful place to go birding! New subscriber here ✨
It really is! Thanks for the sub
Great footage ! Amazing woodpecker! COVID in 2024 or how old is that video? Hope you have recovered!
Recovered fine thank you and yes it was this year and my first time.
Fun stuff. Hope you've made a full recovery from the Covid.
Thank you. All good!
Extraordinarily professional and informative, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful bird. Great video. Thanks for persevering even though I'm guessing you weren't feeling that well. A question. When you go off trail how do you avoid getting lost in the woods? I have a poor sense of direction and worry about going too far off trail.
I just keep an awareness of where I am specially the best I can. In this case I knew if I went down hill I’d end up back on the trail.
