Kodiak Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 • The situation is all to my advantage! These guys would normally fish in the shallow waters of the marsh that are frozen these days. The ice, covering now half the area, is forcing these swift fellows to come much closer to my favourite shooting position. So far for the advantages. Being what they are, very small and darn fast, still remains the great challenge to spot and capture them. Yesterday, I got these… shot with a 600mm ƒ4 @ ƒ8 on D810. C&C welcome and appreciated! 1 2 3 4 Alfred and Charlychuck 2 Quote www.kodiakmedia.at bureau@kodiakmedia.at TeamViewer: 668 015 544 Skype: kodiakonline If personal taste is involved, Light is free, Mother Nature provides the light discussion is pointless. capturing it is NOT. but talent renders the image.

Solly Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I do like these! A D810 with 600mm lens must be hard to hand hold—are you using a monopod or some other aid? I have seed some photos of kits mounted on rifle stalks, but I have never seen such a beast myself. Your results with the FX system are making me regret my DX family choice! Time for me to break out the weights and build some muscles. ;-) Solly Quote Solly JFSJ N3MKH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I do like these! Cool, glad you like them! A D810 with 600mm lens must be hard to hand hold—are you using a monopod or some other aid? I would never recommend using a monopod with lenses over 300 mm! I use two series 5 Gitzo's with Canadian made Jubo Black Widow Pro II gimbals, one for the 600 ƒ4 and the other for the 200~400, ƒ4. The mo- nopod I use (from the same maker) is for the 300 ƒ2.8, tor 70~200 ƒ2.8. Time for me to break out the weights and build some muscles. Muscle power is not my worry… but my left knee that since three years is causing pain and discomfort after a domestic accident. Thanks for your comment Solly!
