I am getting the feeling that I cannot barely say enough. Considering the bear hunt going on in the nordics at the moment, I am kind of out of words. Cheers
Sweden is allowing hunters to kill at least 20% of their population, numbers are from 2017. It’s a massacre. On top, they’re allowed to use bait and dogs. I thought we would be beyond trophy hunting in 2023… this stuff happens every year in the nordics though. Pretty redneck if you ask me.
it seems that you are really pushing the 4.5 very far! you show me what is possible with this lens and of course some hard work. thank you very much for the inspiration. i did like the black grouse and the horned grebes the most. i mean puffins are allways great… But your captures from the black grouse are unique and really special.
Thanks for the kind feedback. I barely use my 200-500, nearly to the point that I kinda forgot in which direction to turn the zoom ring. I will get a 180-600, more later than sooner though. I often use a 1.4 converter for smaller animals or long distances, but actually some people recommend to just crop if you have a bigger sensor size. Apparently the quality stays better that way. I will try it if I hopefully get a Z8 in this century :D Cheers!
@GunnarDresler i'm not sure if the quality is better by croping without the 1.4 tc. Maybe that was the case with the dslr teleconverters, but in my opinion, the 1.4 on z-mount is the better solution if you need the extra focal length. But the sacrifice of the slower aperture is a bit tricky. But i didn't make any further tests to prove it. I really like my combo with z7 II / 400 4.5 / 1.4 tc... today, I was at the vermont natural trail in St. Vincent and had the chance to shoot the endemic st. Vincent parrot. I missed most of the shots cause of the lack of experience... i'm relatively new to bird photography, and I have to learn so much about focusing (and everything else).
Thank you, Peter. Glad that someone is still watching :) I don’t find much time to get these videos done currently besides other stuff like work, especially if they get this long.
Wonderful video Gunnar! Those horned Grebes are hard to beat for beautiful birds! And puffins for the cutest, hard too decide which segment I enjoyed, I just love watching your peaceful, nature videos! Thanks
The horned grebes are pretty cool! Since we never had them here I thought they can get a big spot. Sadly the photos weren’t to crazy, hopefully next year with a floating hide! Cheers :)
Wow what a superb Video, i cant pick one bit i liked the most, it shows the hard work you put in and the stunning images you get using the Z6 and 209-500 setup, fingers crossed you can make a living doing what you obviously love… well done Col
Thank you, Col. This one was quite a long one to get through. I mostly use the 400 F4.5 at the moment, but hopefull I can swap my 200-500 for a 180-600... maybe next year. Still looking out for the Z8. This will need some serious finger crossing :D Cheers.
Hello mate, I have to comment here. My partner & I have always really enjoyed your videos & this was a beautiful video. We’ll done mate & we will continue watching & really enjoying everything you do. (Cheers from Australia) p.s. I will also email you soon.
What a fantastic journey 🤗 photos and footage throughout was incredible. I would have liked to hear some of the bird sounds from the capercaille etc but still an amazing video 🤗
@@GunnarDresler ah that is a shame 😔 happens to all of us at some point I guess 😅 I'll definitely be looking out for the next vid tho as I really enjoyed this one 🤗
Fantastic video. Your work keeps getting better and better. My favorite sequence is the horned grebes (they are even better looking than the North American ones) with the goldeneye porn as a bonus.
You are too kind to me :P but I agree that the horned grebes are very pretty. Hopefully more of them next year! And yeah, that one should maybe be censored :D
Thanks Andreas :) generally easy, photo: 400, video: 180-600. I guess for hybrid stuff the 180-600 would be better. I’ll be getting the other one sooner or later.
Hi Gunnar, wow what a brilliant video, I've enjoyed it so much!!! It was as I was looking at a nature documentary on TV, really awesome! I'm glad you were in a tent when filling the capercaillie so he couldn't attack you 😂. My favourite part must be the horned grebes, they are so gorgeous. Do you also give workshops for them? I would suggest you go into a floating hide to photograph them. Furthermore, the puffins are equally No. 1 for me. I still have to photograph them. All in all fabulous professional video work as always. I think it's a great idea to have a video with different parts and species. Looking forward to your next one. Take care, greetings from The Netherlands, Gladys
Hei Gladys, Gladly "normal" Capercaillie that are not crazy are rather shy and would not attack you. I would really like to use a floating hide, but you always need to be able to transport it, plus the costs of getting one in your hands on top. Sadly I have other priorities that have to be checked up first before I could invest in something like that. Really glad you like it that much. All the best, Gunnar :)

Fantastic. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks, Rob :)
Fantastic video!!
Thanks, Alberto!
Gunnar, Great Video!
Glad you enjoyed this one! Cheers
Thank you for your remarks regarding conservation. On the surface and in the media it seems that countries are doing well, but when you dig into it...
I am getting the feeling that I cannot barely say enough. Considering the bear hunt going on in the nordics at the moment, I am kind of out of words. Cheers
@@GunnarDresler bear hunt? Nothing is safe....

Very nice video, as always great images and footage. I'd really love to see a "best photos of 2023" video when the time comes!
I normally do one and publish it on the same date, but I am not sure if I have enough time this year. Thanks for the comment :)
That second black grouse photo is absolutely stunning Gunnar. Have to join you on the lek one day:)
Thanks Mads, I am always happy if my Z6 hits something in motion :P
Great collection of experiences. As always, quality and passion. Well done Gunnar!
Thank you very much :) glad you liked this one as it has taken some work!
Great video Gunnar, glad to see one of your vlogs again, some inconsiderate people around mate
Great you’re tuning in, Col. I’m not posting too often, but still ☺️
Strålende video, Gunnar! Og veldig fine bilder:)
Tusen takk, Jonas :) Gledet meg å høre det.

@@mathiasraphaelbachmann7063 Bird's are pretty tricky :P Smaller ones in flight is very difficult.
just beautiful, so calming your video, patience, editing is superb...thank you
Thank you so much :)
Their all so wonderfully filmed and amazing, but I do like the segment of May Beaver ❤
Glad you enjoyed it that much :) I hope to see some more beavers in the future. That environment was especially nice. Cheers :)
Beautiful footage as always Gunnar. Really, really gorgeous imagery. Love the video as always!
Thank you, Sam. It was a hassle to make it, but I did enjoy the whole product.
Hi Gunnar good to see you again. My fave segments are the Black Grouse and the Puffins. Take care

Are you happy with your 400 4.5? I'm thinking about this or the 180-600. Still undecided...
