Testing Micro 4/3 Quality - Is It Good Enough? (Full Kingfisher Photography Session)

One of my favourite subjects to photograph in the Summer has to be the amazing Kingfisher. It is quite simply a stunning bird, many people have only ever seen that blue flash as they course up and down the river looking for their next meal. There are simple ways though to watch Kingfishers at close quarters. Join me as we head for a local river and deploy a few tactics to help us get some close up shots of these aquatic hunters.
I keep getting asked about my new kit namely the OM Systems OM-1 and Zuiko 150-400 f4.5 Pro Lens and whether the micro 4/3 system can hold its own against the likes of its full frame cousins. Check out some of the images at the end of the film and make up your own mind.
Anway grab a brew and a fig roll (other biscuits are available) and sit back and enjoy the film!! Thanks for watching.

Cracking images Simon. Most of those who question the IQ of Olympus/OMD - S cameras, especially the OM1, have never owned or used one. They rely on a certain couple of RU-vidrs for their information. Prior to owning my EM1X , EM1.3 and now my OM1's, I owned a Sony A7R4. Marvellous though it was, I have not missed the 60MP.

Welcome to OM1 plus 150 400 country. I totally endorse your feelings about the equipment it is a game changer. Loved your video, but it would help us all if you would tell us the settings you were using at the time. Such a lot of the people I used to watch on RU-vid seem to have left the site why? There is a shortage of help out there, could you, should you step in? Give it a go. Great accent by the way, a fellow Northerner.

Those Kingfishers so at ease in their natural behaviour. Fantastic. And all that under the eyes of the King of Camouflage himself. Can imagine your excitement to see the result of your lovely expedition. You're really a great Bird and nature photographer so I only can give you a big Wow in return. Good bird photoraphy is far from easy but it becomes magic under the shutter button of experienced masters. Big wow for the King.

Beautiful footage Simon and those images are just Stellar!!! Much appreciated for the fieldcraft and yes the good memories and experiences are always as important as getting the shots!!! I thought you might go for some actions with ProCapture at 400mm F4.5. I know ISO would be quite high at 1/4000 SS or what not. However, I did try ISO12800 in rain forest for the Oriental Dwarf KF and the results aren't that bad and quite fulfilling to see. Look forward for your next footage soon. Cheers.

Another great watch Simon! The Kingfisher is a subject that I really haven’t bothered with at all really but I keep thinking I should put some time in with them but when I do it will be exactly the same approach as yourself as in doing the legwork and finding my own birds and just simply doing my thing as I do with all my Wildlife photography. And like you say the images are the bonus and the reward for effort but let’s be honest for the likes of you and I it’s just about being out there with nature on they’re terms !!!

Superb Simon the interaction between the 2 birds was beautiful, I’ve witnessed this about a month ago and think it is a territorial as some of the young will have to find there own spots. I’ve been doing this all summer with natural perches and my own with mixed results. It amazes me how many times I’ve been setting up or packing away etc that a bird appears sometimes they come back within minutes sometimes I’m still there 6hrs later😂

Wowsers! That 2nd day was worth your weight in fig rolls! Amazing shots Simon, thank you for sharing. I've been a keen Angler for 40+ years and you've changed the way I see kingfisher pictures forever. I've had them opposite me on the bank but never on my rod, I'm always fidgeting or fiddling with gear. I hope to purposefuly set out to capture that shot one day of it perched on my rod. At least I've got some ideas now. It must be quite an expensive hobby but when I add up what I've spent on fishing crap it maybe a retirement plan. For now tho, I'll keep watching you. Not sure what the photography equivalent is but....tight lines!

Great video and images of kingfisher. I always enjoy your videos, but they have gone to a new level with the Olympus gear. Would love to get that 150-400mm lens.

OMG Simon that footage was absolutely outstanding, the stills were even better in fact I would go as far as to say 100 times better than the Nikon set up you had that Olympus set up is outstanding.

A truly magnificent looking bird. A bird I hope find a common location to photograph and film myself one day. Thanks for hints and tips boss! 🤙😎👊

Watched your awesome Kingfisher video a second time... love kingfishers and dragonflies and as a wildlife photographer myself, I'm preparing for the day I get lucky using my Canon R5 and Canon 100-500mmm telephoto lens... i'll take the tips and tricks I learnt from you in this video and on your channel to help me on my journey. Cheers Simon

Great vlog Simon, super vid and stills. Definitely a young bird - you can tell by the white tip on the beak, adults don’t have that. Keep up the good work, and if you ever want to venture up the Ribble valley then give me a shout.

I've never seen a more well-developed camo strategy. You could do a video on that!!!
