    Mark, theses images are awesome. When I downloaded my cards from my recent workshop with you, I was lucky enough to have a few that rivaled yours with my trusty A7RiV. The point is that if you, that would be you out there in You Tube Land, want to experience this kind of flying bird action with the best in the business you have to do yourself a favor and book a few days with Mark. He is such a good soul, great story teller and the dude and his son Torin shoot every day. So much fun and you will cherish your images. Yes, I know I am talking like a fan boy, but I have been going to South Florida and shooting with Mark for a couple of years and he is great company and he knows his stuff. Well done Mark. I have taken a lot of shots of Pelicans feverishly fishing in groups, but never competing with an Osprey. Great stuff! r

      I absolutely agree! I was in Florida last year and I spent some really amazing time with both of them. If we didn't have big issues with the virus in Italy right now I would be in Florida again at this time ;-)

      I too have had the privilege to spend a couple days with Mark and couldn't agree more ( and so eloquently put ). My best two days of 2019 we're with Mark and Toren. Wonderful people who took my photography to the next level !

    Mark Your Photo Work capturing the Osprey fishing in so many different types of water and catching most of the fish they are diving for is very impressive. The camera shots with the close ups brought the Osprey and the other Birds right into my viewing room like a big screen Television. Your Narration was excellent and helped a lot adding to the Value of this Video, thank you.

    Mark, you remain my favorite CZcams contributor. No one can match your entertaining and beautiful images you share with all of us. Over time I have tried to match your equipment and settings that you share. However, I'm concerned that your latest trends with equipment that most of us cannot afford (Sony A7r4 with 600mm prime, $16,000) will eliminate most of us from following you as closely as before. Best wishes for the future.

    @AlejandroPerez-cm6ed Před rokem +1

    Great work like always! First time here in your CZcams channel. Living in South Florida for many years I have seen those Osprey been attacked by other birds. I am a cyclist and no long ago one dropped a huge trout next to me on the road. I stopped then the Osprey and the other birds (huge black birds) came back for the fish but I was too close and they all left. Lucky for the fish I picked it up and dropped in the near by lake. That fish had some big scratches.
    Also I have seen big group of pelicans fishing next to me on the water. and They are intense. They are like a wolf pack.

    Amazing video, as allways Mark. Thanks. Can you tell us your opinion about both cameras in terms of IQ after this experience? Have you post-processed the images? If the answer is yes, what you have done to improve them?If you could afford to buy only one of those two cameras for wildlife and especially birds and BIF, which camera would you choose and why: a9 or a7r4? Mark can you please answer?

I know he'll be as thrilled as I am. Thank you, Mark, for your amazing work, for seizing the moment, moment after moment!

    Beautiful work as usual Mark. And BTW - I ran across an ad for Topaz AI on FB.
    I was impressed with what they said it could do for photos, but I was skeptical until I saw that you had endorsed it. Decided to spend the $80 for the software and glad I did! I live in UT and have some great photos of raptors and Topaz really helped take some of my pics to the next level! Especially when wanting to crop/zoom on birds and wildlife pics. Some were suspect quality with quite a bit of noise and Topaz eliminated the noise and sharpened the image.
    A MUST for wildlife photographers (especially amateurs like me).
    Keep on shootin'! Love your work
