    As always, a wonderful video Trond. I can't stress enough how much of an inspiration you are for the beginner wildlife photographer I am. I wish I was as patient, dedicated (and sometimes lucky) as you are when you shoot all of these animals, but for now I am at least trying! If only Bergen wasn't so damn rainy all the time, it would help getting out more than once every week...

    Very good video. Some lovely images. What I can't figure out is that you wear green clothing, a ghillie blanket, camo netting over your face but you don't cover your hands. They are like waving two flashlights around for wildlife that have much better eyesight than ours.

    • @trondwestby
      @trondwestby  5 років тому

    • @trondwestby

      @trondwestby  5 років тому

      Thank you so much! I like the chair blind as well. And was thinking of using it in this video. But the hillside was steep and hard to find a good spot for the blind. So I used the blanked in sted.

    G'day Trond: Thanks for this great video. I was wondering if you might share your focus techniques in an upcoming video. I ask this as I noticed that at 8:55 you are focused on the feet of the bluethroat. Was this because it is in a similar plane to the head/eyes and at f4 it should still be in focus? Am very curious as this is an area where I really struggle. Cheers, Paul.

    • @trondwestby
      @trondwestby  5 років тому +1

      Thank you so much Paul! It was so hard to film in the view-finder when taking pictures. So I missed the focus. Normally I aim for the head/eyes.
