I decided it was time to change the Buzzard setup a bit as I dont like my pictures to get stale. I therefore headed off to one of favourite woodlands that is full of suitable dead branches to choose a good prop. After heading home we set up the new perch and also setup the new Tragopan Lagopus one person hide. Did we get the shots that all the hard work deserved??? Armed with the new Nikon Z9 and 500mm F4 we get an early start but things didn't quite go as planned...................

Well done Simon for not being afraid to switch systems if one is not working for you. I know you had some stupid comments when you first went to the OM-1 but you’re right, the kit is a tool and you go with what works best for you. Okay I was a little disappointed you switched from Nikon to Olympus because I have a D500 and I picked up some great tips on using the D500 from watching your channel but I didn’t stop watching just because you happened to change systems. I watch your channel for the locations you visit, the sharing of your field craft and tips on technique etc. not to mention your great humour. Keep up the great work.

@simoneardley Год назад

Thanks Gary and thankyou for supporting the channel.

@Kenbur Год назад

Simon, that was a great video. I love how you plan and rearrange if needed to get your setups. It always shows that a great picture for the most part needs a lot of thoughtful input and time to make it happen. I know there is the occasional - right place, right time - but if it was that easy, it wouldn't be photographic artistry. Great work and thanks for sharing the tips and the outcome of your tips and hard work with us in these videos.

Cracking film Simon, fantastic shots of the deer. The Lagopus hide looks a good bit of kit. Will be interested in watching your review, at 6'4 it would be nice to be able to sit up and not be scrunched for up hours, like in my present hide. Thank you for your films over the past year and before, informative, amusing and an absolute pleasure to watch. merry Christmas and a very happy new year.

Nice to see you've gone back to Nikon I'm a Canon man myself. I looked at the OM system about three years ago and had a try in shop.....felt great but image quality for me especially when cropping in on an image was dire. I'm on Canon 5div coupled with 300 2.8 mark two and 2X convertor and it's a cracking set up. Great new video Simon 👍

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers Ray, there were certain aspects of the OM system that were fantastic but ultimately like you say the final image is the deciding factor!! Thanks for the support Ray👍🏼

Nice one Simon - I really like the look of that Logopus hide... I've been thinking of getting a 'proper' hide for a while now and the modularity of that looks really neat. Good to see you managed to get yourself a Z9 and I guess that's a 500mm f/4 on it - nice combination.

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers Geoff, yeh it was only a matter of time. The Z9 is a beast, well chuffed with it and yes youre right a 500mm f4. Old glass but razor sharp, wasnt sure whether the z400 4.5 would give me enough reach. As far as the hide goes the Lagopus is great for smaller spots, the V6 wins for space. Swings and roundabouts really, all the Tragopan hide are top quality and each have there own merits. Just get one of each!!😆 Atb, Si 🎄👍🏼

@cliftonwhittaker260 Год назад

Good one, Simon. I really like the way you went into detail showing the gathering of your perch and how you set up your chair blind. I think you do better B-roll than any of the other photographers, too. It all adds interest to your video. I've finished my own photography book for 2022 and ordered the proofs today so I won't be doing anything but experimenting with different setups and trying new places until Jan. Cheers and have a great holiday season. I look forward to your buzzards when you get back.

@martinblack3272 Год назад

Hi Simon could you expand on the image separation you talked about. Love your videos and style. I use a Nikon D7200. Not up to a Z series yet. Cheers Martin

@simoneardley Год назад

Yeh Martin, micro 4/3 doesnt have the ability to create the shallow depth of field that full frame sensors do. Therefore you dont get the same image separation and subject isolation that you do with FF. If you can keep a good distance between your subject and the background or get closer to your subject then you can minimize the effect but its not always possible.

@andirutherford2615 Год назад

Arrrrrggghhhh Simon, frustrated or what with a Buzzard I've recently seen, first time was too far away I was using microfourthirds 100/300 , today I was driving from Whinlater forest (never again in half term) however sitting literally above me on a tree above the road was this massive BOP perfect site for the buzzard to look over the farm land for miles, pulled the car over 25 yards away and 50ft up, but as soon as I got the camera out off it went. So frustrated

Hi Simon, thanks for all of the excellent advice on your channel. Wonder if you could help me with a question about the Lagopus Tent. I would like to buy one, but I would be using it with a "Bridge Camera", (apologies for the bad language) Ha! It is a Sony RX10iv which has an equivalent 600mm lens, but measures only 6 inches from front of the camera to lens hood. My question is will it work with the built in lens cover on the front of the tent which is designed for much longer lenses? Also, do you still offer a discount if purchased through you. Thanks in advance, and look forward to hearing from you.

@simoneardley 6 месяцев назад

Hi, sorry for the delay. The Lagopus tent front is designed to take a very large Telephoto lens but I see no reason why the cover can not be bunched up to accommodate a smaller bridge camera. The discount code for 5% off is ' TragoSimon5'

@noh2489 Год назад

Hi Simon I have the nitehawk chair hide which you had and find it brilliant but now use it mainly in the garden, as its a nightmare to trudge out with with my other gear. I find it too bulky getting over styles and the like. I was thinking about the tragopan V6 and using one of my ultra light camping chairs (the bungie aluminium pole type ones) with this as it would easily fit in the hide bag together and size wise it looks easier to drag about. Do you know if the chair height would work with this (or the Monal V2 for window height) as the ultralight chair's sit a bit lower? or would you think the lagopus is the better option?

@simoneardley Год назад

Hi, i get what you mean about the Nitehawk. The V6 is certainly more preferable for space especially combined with the extra awning room at the back. As far as chairs go I cant say about the ulta light chair ( do you mean the Trekology type?). The Tragopan chairs are the perfect height and very well made, there is a compromise with the weight as they are heavier than the ultralight chairs but the perfect height. The beauty of the Lagopus is that it is a complete unit and great for tighter spots but no where near as much room as the V6.

@noh2489 Год назад

@@simoneardley Hi Simon thanks for getting back to me. Yes the trekology type chairs just wonder if one of these would give me enough height. Would make for a nice light setup. Will give further thought and might get a V6 in new year (will use your code also) 👍
