Vultures of Creta

[Nasos Kosmas]

Really great captures, even better than on the previous page - nice views from above.

Thank you very much Øivind, glad you like it
As you said,  nice views from above!

Nasos , +1 to what Øivind and Ian have already said and thank you for posting them. 

I have enjoyed seeing these images of birds that we do not see in my part of the world.

Thank you very much Hugh It is strange for me also to see birds/animals that I  dont see here 

[Nasos Kosmas]

Very impressive, Nasos.

Thank you Ian, Bent, Joost for your kind words

[Nasos Kosmas]

Very beautiful photos, thank you for bringing us closer to that magical place,

Thank you very much Arturo Yes this place is magical, Nature is magical!

[Nasos Kosmas]

Great pictures, Nasos.
How would you compare this set up with the D500 and straight 500PF?

Thank you very much Bruno
D500 and straight 500PF are made for one another
Z8 is a great camera but I dont see that you miss something with D500 except video
Eye autofocus is great to have  but is not  instant and in some cases you may miss the target
I feel that Nikon next gen will be more reliable on this
Generally speaking I think Z8 is 55% and D500 is 45% on this, its good to hear what other members think about it!

New series of photos as I visited the site beginning of the week
This time I had the change to shoot a Vulture  standing on a rock from a distance, very different than flying
Same setup Z8/ 500pf plus 1.4 TC III on some of the shots
Thank you for looking

agree to everything written about your pictures, the birds are impressive, your pictures are excellent

[Bruno Schroder]

Thanks for the feedback, Nassos. I must say I haven’t found (yet) a very compelling reason to replace the D500/500 PF couple.
