    Does anyone else sometimes forget this is a photography channel? I get so absorbed in the story I often overlook the photography aspect. Can't wait until January when i take a trip to FL, hoping to find some Ospreys hunting and catch a display like this. More to see the wonders of nature than photo taking.

      @@Koji-888 His open-mindedness about gear really sets him apart and makes his opinions on gear worth something. Very elegant presentation of his camera and settings, I agree. I never liked the branding of someone being a "Canon shooter" or "Sony Artisan", etc, to me that means although we may get great instructional videos we won't be seeing honest reviews or hearing about potential weaknesses either. As much as I'm not a gear person with the cost of cameras and lenses I'm really looking forwards to hearing Mark's opinion on the A7RIV and A9ii when it comes out so I can feel I made an informed decision on picking the right tool for birds and action photography.
