Thunderstorm from Caledonia to Hokah, MN
Just for fun. An afternoon thunderstorm popped up just south of us and traveled from Caledonia to Hokah, Minnesota. Near the end of the time lapse I turned attention to another storm that just nicked us as it headed north of us. Not much rain here but enough that I had to bring down the drone.

Adult Female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak Feeding Chick [Slow-Motion 4k, 120 fps]
Просмотров 6421 день назад
An adult female rose-breasted grosbeak cracked a few sunflower seeds and then fed the kernels to her chick. It's amazing to watch her feed the chick in slow-motion 4k. The purple on their bills is from the parents feeding the chicks mulberries. They tend to switch off between sunflower seeds and mulberries. Footage was recorded at 120 fps, then slowed down to 24 fps.
The Big Reveal
Просмотров 85Месяц назад
Last summer I spent quite a few days with George Howe capturing footage for a new documentary that George was working on here in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin and Minnesota. One of my favorite trips with George was to the Spring Green / Mazomanie area. I took quite a bit of drone footage there. I won't say any more as I don't want to give away the the big reveal. "The Big Reveal" was a favo...
Oriole Nest Filmed in 8k, Cropped to 4k - Nikon Z9 + 800mm PF lens
Просмотров 102Месяц назад
If I had a dollar for every time someone inquired why anyone needs to film in 8k, I'd be rich! Here's a prime example. When filming nature 99% of the time you cannot move closer to your subject. This requires a large lens. For birds, most photographers shoot with 600mm or higher lenses. In this particular case I was using the Nikon Z9 with the 800mm PF lens and even that didn't get me as close ...
Storm at Day Creek

A rather dramatic thunderstorm rolled through the area this afternoon. Nothing severe but the Spielberg / Close Encounter clouds were a real treat! Filmed with the Mavic Air 3 drone, footage speed increased to show the evolution of the storm and to dramatize the storm. Music licensed via Soundstripe, Cody Martin "Brittle Bones"
Northern Lights Time Lapse and Video: May 10-11, 2024
Просмотров 7482 месяца назад
Wow! What an incredible night it was. Horizon to horizon Northern Lights here in Southeast Minnesota. I used two cameras to film the entire event from dusk until dawn. Luckily it was clear the entire night. The Nikon Z9 was used with a Rokinon 14mm EF lens to build a time-lapse video of the entire night. The second camera was the Sony ZV-E1 camera which takes incredible low-light footage. I use...
Final Spike Steam Train Anniversary Tour

On May 5, 2024 the CPKS (Canadian Pacific (CP) and Kansas City Southern (KCS)) 2816 steam train made its way from St. Paul, Minnesota to Franklin Park, Illinois.

Originally intended for fast freight and passenger service, the locomotive worked primarily in Eastern Cana...
Leonids in Real-Time using the Sony ZV-E1 (Radio Echoes Too!)
Просмотров 818 месяцев назад
November 17-19, 2023 was the peak of the Leonid meteor shower. Visual rates were around 30 per hour but the radio recorded many more meteors. Scouring through 10 hours of video, I found about 50 instances in which the meteor was caught on video as well as a radio recording. Both video and audio recordings were synced to reveal a correlation between the two methods. This video is a sample of the...

Trick or Treat? Happy Snow-Ween!
Просмотров 598 месяцев назад
Snow on Halloween! It's a trick if you hate snow but a treat if you love snow. Today was our second snowfall of the season and this one accumulated to a couple of inches. Hard to believe it was in the 70's here less than a week ago. Here's a few clips taken around the bird feeders. Taken with the Sony A1 and the Sony 200-600mm lens. Shot in 240 fps 1080p, up-rezzed to 4k.

Hummingbird Slow Motion using the Nikon Z9 with the Nikkor 180-600mm + 1.4x
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Here's a test of the Nikkor 180-600mm lens with a Nikon 1.4x Z teleconverter and the Nikon Z9 shooting 120 fps video in 4k N-RAW. When viewing in slow motions, you will see the camera/lens occasionally refocusing to keep up with the hummingbird's movement but this is expected and quite normal to see with any camera. In real time, you would not see these focus acquisitions as they occur very fas...
Nikkor Z 180-600 Resolution Test & Comparison of the Sony 200-600 & Nikon Z 800mm lenses
Просмотров 23 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Resolving power of a lens is the first thing I test when I receive a new lens. This week I received the Nikon Nikkor Z 180-600 lens and in this video we explore the resolving power of this lens at various focal length, then compare this lens to the Sony 200-600mm and Nikkor Z 800mm lenses. All tests were conducted in a controlled environment without any distortions caused by atmospheric tempera...

DJI Air 3 Sample Footage
Просмотров 348Год назад
Here's a sample of footage taken from around our place here in Minnesota using the new DJI Air 3 drone. This drone features two cameras: a 24mm and a 70mm lens producing a wide and telephoto view. I have marked each clip designating the lens used (1x = 24mm, 3x = 70mm). So far this drone has exceeded my expectations. I cranked down the settings in cine mode to produce very nice dolly effect foo...

    It would be good to test sharpness at around 30-50 metres in a sports hall or large indoor space because this is more of a semi-macro test. The Nikon performs quite differently at infinity to close and focus breathing isn't a factor. Unfortunately the pixel size might be different causing resolution to appear different.

    @benneves6649 19 дней назад

    Great review! That doll is perfect - has a test pattern surrounded with feathers. Also I like that the image is shot in still air. Unfortunately the image files are altered in camera even in raw mode so the only way to truly test a lens in isolation is with an scientific camera, and the Nikon is actually sharper all things being equal, however the camera is of course part of the equation. VR actually blurs the image if switched on with both brands. (By the way Nikkor is not pronounced that way, the word is Japanese in origin with the high fast "ee". Neekor)

    Oh my goodness that was an ultimate relaxed review I've saw with my morning coffee. Thank you for that. Also all what you say about the optics. The sony 200-600 mm sleep now in my Dry cabinet, I click him on only on my aps-c bodies. And for me the results are good enough for me. But, maybe there comming a point in time that the upgrade to the topper from Sony under my arm ,sleep out from the shop to my study room. BTW, My wife now noting of this action in the future.So that said,thank you for sharing the birds on the end in your video. Special the Nectar lovers ❤ Greetz from Thailand.

    Im glad i found this video. I recently bought a damaged tamron 28-75mm f2.8 g2, it was missing the weather seel gasket and it mounted ok with the etz21 adapter but i sent if off to get a new weather seel and now it won't go on, but the sony 24 105mm f4 g isn't a problem. I don't know if the mount was changed as well, or just the gasket.

    I just dont get the classical obsession with sharpness. at some point, all these are within a margin of error and once you export to JPEG and compress for online consumption, there is very little left. I much rather have low ISO for cleanear images. so I am not replacing my old 600mm f4 for this (as long as I can carry it :))

    I can't believe no one else is commented on that Crane's parenting! Between 0:40 and 0:41 that mom (or dad) steps on the baby's neck and keeps her foot like that for almost 10 seconds before lifting it whereupon the young Crane leaps up with so much force it flops on its back and mom (or dad as it may be) plunks down on top of the bellied up little Crane without giving it a chance to right itself! Finally finally at 5:05 the parent bird manages to settle down so the egg is directly underneath her body and the baby is tucked under her wing and stays like that so must have sensed the arrangement was now proper. Glad baby didn't die in the process!
