Lovely footage Simon. I swapped my Canon 600mm f4 and R5 for an OM-1 and a 150-400TC at about the same time as you swapped your Nikon gear. I get your point about separation etc but for me, the weight penalty won't see me going back to a big ff and a prime anytime soon. One thing you've proved is that with commitment and knowledge a good image can be produced on a wide range of kit regardless of format. Keep up the good work!

Wow- those squirrels are super photogenic. Great pictures Simon. I absolutely love this style of photography. I have a canon 600 f4 and nearly fell over when I saw how much the lens hoods are to replace ($1100 cad. ). Would be nice to save a bit of weight as the lens is the first generation with IS and is an absolute tank. The big primes are highly addictive though I must say. Keep the videos coming- I enjoy your films just as much as Mr Hilmers. Take care.

I have a video of a red taking my hazelnuts running off and pretending to bury them, before disappearing to bury it.

Brilliant video and images yet again Simon and some of the images were your best yet IMO. You made a very valid point about choosing an interesting branch against a good background. It’s amazing how a light coloured tree trunk in the background can end up looking like a wide vertical line even if the background is blurred. Talking of interesting branches in wildlife photography, I entered an image of a male Blackcap on a mossy branch in a cross camera club comp and the judge gave it 20 / 20. The same image a month later was entered into another competition and the judge scored it 16 / 20 and the critique mentioned the branch was too detailed and was competing with the subject. The judge did go on to say they didn’t photograph wildlife 🫣.
