I'd say at a rough guess Jimmy you was rather happy at that stunning location !!! The infra red set up worked a treat giving excellent images with impact. Super video. 😀👌

Wonderful video and great images!

Many thanks for sharing your emotions, Jimmy!

Great video

Phenomenal video 🙌

Super images Jimmy

Beautiful photographs, love the infra red ones too. Fabulous place to visit

Great video Jimmy, what a trip you're having! The rainbow in the waterfall shot tho!

Welcome to the U.S.! It’s obvious that you are having a great time, enjoy the rest of your visit! You knocked it out of the park with those images from the valley!

Wonderful photography Jimmy, thanks for sharing it with us!

Ah fair play jimmy. Delighted you made it there. Stunning shots.. its defo on my list.. would love to go there. For the landscapes and the wildlife.

Great to see you having such a marvellous time in Yosemite and you're working absolute wonders with that converted D810 Kudos!

Super images Jimmy - great inspiration for my next outing, thanks.

Many stunning images Jimmy, very well done!

I was quirious as to how many body parts i would have to sell for a 400mm f 2.8, I looked at the Canon for DSLR's thinking that it would be cheaper because mirrorless cameras are what people are going to, the 400mm f2.8 for DSLR'S IS still 12,000 dollars, a 300mm f2.8 Sony lens for mirrorless, 6,000 dollars, i don't think either one will be in my camera bag unless I win a lottery, that being said my 100-400mm Fujifilm works great and I have a Fujifilm 1x4 converter being delivered this Sunday.

Some beautiful photos, for me a lens like the f2.8 400 mm prime is above my budget and in many of the areas I photograph birds they tend to be more than one bird in the photo so to get a good photo i have to use an f stop of 5.6 or higher or else the photo doesn't work. A park near my house has a stream running along the outer perimeter and in the spring i have been able to photograph a female duck with her duckings, at times she may have as many as eighth with her so to get them in focus i have to shoot above f5.6 and that requires a iso of 1600 or more depending upon the lighting.

One thing i have learned about wildlife and bird photography over many years, no matter how long you're focal lengths are they might not be long enough. My long lens is a Fujifilm XH2 and a 100-400mm Fujifilm lens, it does a great job overall and working with a good quality zoom lens gives you more flexibility than a long prime lens. The most important thing to keep in mind photographing wildlife and birds is to go where they are, sometimes that is easier said that done. I have driven many hours to get to places like Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware and Chincoteague national park in Virginia Eastern Shores to photograph a wide range of shore birds, birds of prey and a variety of ducks and snow geese depending on the time of year, these areas have gravel roads that take you along a wide variety of, fields, marsh lànds and estuary shore lines allowing you to photograph without the need for a long prime lens, i find the 100-400mm on a crop sensor camera gives you the ability to shoot hand held. The Fujifilm XH2 AND 100-400MM FUJIFILM are both stabilized. Closer to home in New York State i use a 14 touring kayak, a Wilderness System Tsunami with the same camera and lens. Being able to get on the water to photograph birds in a kayak is like being in the water with your subject and allows you to get some special photographs.

Lovely video, brings back memories of my holiday in San Francicsco a good few years ago.

That tram shot is magic stuff Jimmy!

Fabulous captures Jimmy great work

Fantastic stuff, really love those infrared shots! But I think the tram shot at the start was fantastic.

I was there back in late 70s love to go back one day. Love your work.

New Subsciber here Jimmy. Loved the video ! Hows the weight of the 400/2.8 ? I had a Canon one a fair few years ago now and it was a workout !

Lovely shots Jimmy. We’re using the same setup and also listening to Merlin’s book 👍

Great shots, greetings from Brazil

You need a floating hide Jimmy! 🙂

Beautiful photos

Can we be a friend sir ❤

Really enjoy this vlog Jim, just brought a 90mm macro lens to get out and photo fungi. some great tips. Followed.

Jimmy. One word WOW

Beautiful images, thanks for sharing.

Hi. Could you list your camera n lens for me. It only says nikon z but not which nikon. Thank you

what's the tripod you're using?

I’ve been down to the Burren numerous times and never knew about the Scott’s Pine! Some of my favourite trees here on the west coast where they appear. Having trouble finding them on the map for the next visit, any pointers?

Those first images of the water on the rocks were stunning! All of your images are beautiful.

I had to choose between the 400mm & 600mm and for small birds here in the UK. I am very glad I went for the 600mm, but it depends what you photograph . I now get to 420 mm using the 1.4 TC on the 300mm f2.8 giving me a f4 420mm. Awesome but not such good bokeh at f4 . Light weight though 🙂

牛

So what lens would u use for shorebirds. 800mm

Great video Jimmy and beautiful images.

I can see why you sacraficed the extra mm's for that beautiful soft background Jimmy, looked like the day was going nowhere but to capture those images I'd say it turned out a very productive visit. And what a couple of great species to get.👌

👏🏼🔝

Fantastic video Jimmy

Wow... this is the first video I have watched of yours... I found it fascinating and truly entertaining! Here in Australia I have shot the Micena Sp shrooms. They do appear to like the very moist fallen trees, but don't appear unless said tree has a thick covering of green moss, presumably to retain moisture. These little shrooms wilt within a day or so usually, from my experience.

The lichen 'trees' photo is super.

Absolutely fab Jimmy, really enjoyed that!

Thank you for taking us to this macro world

Many thanks for the educational aspect here. That explains why you tend to only find Fungai on dead trees as well as in about the forest floor! I just asked ChatGPT for the extended version of this eco process.

Great shots

Hi Jimmy new subscriber here. Thanks for a great video all good tuition and wonderful photos
