Wildlife Photography in the Great Bear Rainforest - Nikon Z9

Thanks for the video Matt, truly loved the eagle photos, top notch! Question, how close are you when taking images of birds or mammals or how much of your frame is filled with your subject? Sometimes I find it difficult to get crisp images of birds and I’m sure not being close enough to the intended target is probably the reason. Thanks again.

Fantastic episode. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. Cheers

Beautiful imagery but I swear there is a ton of really weird artifacting on a ton of the shots? Are you using something like Topaz Sharpen after cropping extremely heavily or something like that to try to recover distant shots? (Particularily the eagle shots)

I'm not a photographer. I will probably never see these animals in person again in my lifetime. I so enjoy seeing these videos and pictures, it's almost better than being there!

What a fantastic day trip! Beautiful video and photography too. Thanks for sharing this Matt 👍😀

I prefer the color rendtion of the grizzlies Matt. BW is a very romantic medium, but in this case I prefer the color IMHO. :)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK, Matt!! THANK YOU for all the camera tips as well! Your work is stunning 🎉🎉🎉

That was too cool! Thanks so much!

Love this video Matt. A very nice blend between the technical and creative aspects of nature photography. Well done!

B/W photo 😊

Hi Matt, great video and great information. I love the west coast of BC and your videos make me quite envious of you. Keep up the fantasic work!!

very nice video!!

WOW awesome pics of the otters.

INCREDIBLE!!!

Matt, you have a 500mm f4 and have added the 400 4.5 with the 1.4 teleconverter getting 560mm at 6.3. It would be interesting to know your take on losing the shadow depth of field with your new setup and how you compensate for it.

Great Video, useful tips, easy going delivery, a great watch..Keep Well & Stay Safe 👍🇬🇧

Another great video, Matt. Normally I like black and white but on this one I prefer the coloured version. You live and play in an amazing province. At least that's the way this sailor sees it ~~_/)_~~

B and W is awesome but I think the color takes the cake. Exceptional footage/pics of the bears! Thanks for cranking out these awesome videos.

This was excellent

Just an amazing video Matt. I love, love, love the footage and shots of the eagle!! The bears were amazing as well! These are two of my favorite wildlife species. The entire video was very enjoyable viewing. Thanks so much!

Gawd, I love our coast! Nice work here, great stills and vids. I am a big fan of grizzlies and am always amazed how one minute the big male could be killing cubs to mate with the female and the next they are tenderly cuddling like young lovers. Nature is cruel and fascinating.

Great photos Matt. I have learned so much from your videos. Can you share the company you went with for a day trip? Thanks

Absolutely stunning photography and videography. Thank you for sharing. I was just curious what your video settings were in particular frames per second, resolutions, iso and aperture for the bears. Thanks

Another fabulous video

Can you only use this once?.....i currently use it to swith settings from say a static bird to go to bird in flight settings.
Can i use this option again on a different button to do something different?

Great job! Any idea if the bears were siblings? Glad you did stills on the Eagle, they came out great!

Huge fan of Simon d’Entremont’s channel and been glued to that for weeks. Now I’ve found your channel Matt and completely blown away by your work and channel. Outstanding content and astonishing images. Subbed!

Nice again.
I thought you would use the Nikon 400mm 2.8 with build in converter.

It's a pitty that Canada is so far away but i love the wild live.

Love the content! 400 f4.5 is an amazing lens. Do you use a TC for your shots at all?

Amazing video and images. Thanks for sharing

I love the colour photo better <3

Love the color.

I, for once when asked, like the Color bear
photo better. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic photos and helpful narrative. Thanks too for sharing your settings.

The images of the Bears are terrific I’m curious did you use the 400or the 600f/4

The lens ring being used to exposure compensation is genius, now I just need the will power to pay the price for a 1st party lens.

Awesome, Matt! What time of year did you go?

Your photos are incredible. Thank you for explaining all your settings. I am just getting into wildlife photography and this is helping me quite a bit.

Just found your site a few days ago, really great videos, fabulous images. To tell the truth the B&W are great, their lack of color and the tonality of the that results make for great impact. Take care..

I spent a month in Rivers Inlet & a week in Smith's Inlet in 1986 on a 33 foot Gill net boat & it touched me deep . Still does every time I see vids from the area - My feet never touched actual land the whole time there , Dawson's Landing was the closest to land .

Amazing shots! May I ask you to share also some details about how much crop you do with each of the photos? Thank you very much!

Love your content amazing and beautiful videos and pictures. I can only dream of capturing something a 10th of yours. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures and your knowledge

Prefer the color photo.

🥰😍😍

deserve much more attention than this !

How do you become a wildlife photographer and how good can you live of it?
