    I browse YT, see the channel preview and had to smile spontaneously, in anticipation of the video and the beautiful introductory music. Greetings from Schaumburg Germany

    I live a couple miles from the foothills of the Tetons and we spend a lot of time sledding with our pack of huskies all over the area but after seeing this I feel like I really need to up my photography game lol. Thank you for the inspiration. Just beautiful.

    I've got to be honest, you make the best wildlife photography videos on UA-cam. Whenever you have a new video out I can't wait to watch it. Your mix of commentary, video, instruction and images taken are amazing.

    Disappointed Steve that you couldn't nail a shot, you need to practice more and maybe go on one of Steve Perry's workshops. 😂😂😂😂😂 only kidding of course. Sat here watching your video with a roaring log fire. Thanks for the journeys in 2021, all the best to you and your family.

    Hi Steve,
    I find your videos very entertaining, interesting and educational. I just love winter so much! I'm only 14 years old and I started wildlife photography 6 months ago and decided to try UA-cam about 1 month ago. I was also photographing in the snow the other day 🙃 Keep up the good work, your videos motivate me a lot.

    I like your river otter footage. Nice. Ive been trying to catch them here at Huntely Meadows Park in the morning but they have been coming before I can get there. they dont stay very long once they get there fish. a few people have been lucky enoug to get shots and footage. I will get mine soon. I got shots of a juvenile river otter at the beginning of 2021 in January but no video.

  • @EricWoodyVariety59

    Hey Steve, Ahh man just love the snow falling eagle footage and the otters way cute. I was out yesterday and I just couldn't put a video together from my outting for Sandhill Cranes. But you sure pulled it off! Mind my asking about the mount in the hotshoe. For a action cam? I put my Gopro there at times. Sayin' hey... Greg

  • @tc6912

  • @fredericbeudot822
    @fredericbeudot822 2 роки тому +1

    Stunning as usual. I love how the blur from the snow turned out on your pans - it’s gorgeous. Quick gear_head question, how is the Sony 400 f:2.8 with 2x TC versus your Nikon 600 f:4 with 1.4x TC? I am very familiar with that Nikon combo and I am trying to gauge if the Sony 400 with 2x is equally good and would be a better option than going back to a 600mm now that I jumped ship.

    • @tc6912
      @tc6912 2 роки тому +1

      This interests me as well although I am still with Nikon. I am looking at spending the big bucks on a pro lens and really like the 400 2.8, 1.4TC, 2TC combo concept. I shoot general wildlife and enjoy time with the Pa. elk and birds of all kind. Comparisons to a 600 prime would be cool.

    • @SteveMattheis
      @SteveMattheis  2 роки тому

      The Sony system seems to work much better with TC's than Nikon dslr's. I haven't used the new Nikon Z TCs yet but I imagine they will work great too.

    Can someone explain me why some of the photos are at F11?
    I mean he has pro equipment, so that is not the reason.
    Is it because the camera doesn‘t focus correctly in the snow?
