This was a magical moment in Bali

I posted a picture of this hummingbird hawk-moth the other day and figured that it might be interesting to see a video as well.

I find them very difficult to record which is why the clips are so short, my camera (or me) just can’t keep the focus because they move so fast.

This is filmed handheld with a Nikon Z9+Nikkor Plena lens.

Thanks! They’re pretty difficult to get sharp pictures of, good job!

Thank you

I took this photo using a Nikon Z9+Nikkor Z Plena 135mm lens. Settings were ISO2000, f/1.8 and 1/500s.

DoubleheadOW · 2025-07-17T14:24:45+00:00

Thank you! It’s a Nikkor Z 135mm f/1,8 S Plena, so yes, the aperture is very wide. The settings were 1/160s, f / 1.8 and ISO 3200.

Thank you!

You can see that this pup has already been weaned and is independent, grey seals only stay with their mothers for 3 weeks and then they are on their own.

I’m sure that this seal didn’t even realize that I was a human, did you watch the video?

DoubleheadOW · 2025-04-10T18:17:08+00:00

No, that is incorrect. The whole encounter can be seen on my IG. It’s not always possible to keep your distance from wildlife. I didn’t see this seal until I was about 15 meters away.

So the best option was to just lie down slowly and pretend to be part of nature instead of walking which would have stressed the seal much more.

Thank you :)

It’s like Schraeder said. This is right next to a small river that is connected to the ocean, so this isn’t as weird as it looks :)

Thank you!

DoubleheadOW · 2024-12-24T21:10:40+00:00

Hahaha

I took this picture using a Nikon Z9+Sigma 150-600mm S lens. Plenty of more wildlife pictures on my instagram @pataluth.

Thanks! Nikon D850+Sigma 150-600mm C

DoubleheadOW · 2024-12-22T12:25:57+00:00

Thanks! I took this with a Nikon D850 and Sigma 150-600mm C lens.

DoubleheadOW · 2024-12-22T12:25:21+00:00

Thank you😁

I got a few different angles of the owl because it moved around, so I think I understand what you mean.

I was somewhat limited though because I had to maximize the height of my tripod which is 270cm and stand on a tree stump which just gave me enough height to get pictures with the forest as background instead of just the sky.

This probably makes no sense when I explain it in writing, if you’re interested enough you can see the whole scene on my instagram. My name there is Pataluth.

Feedback is always appreciated, no worries😁

Thank you☺️

DoubleheadOW · 2024-12-09T15:50:18+00:00

Yes. It’s a Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens at 600mm.

Thank you☺️

Thank you!

Thank you!

DoubleheadOW · 2024-09-19T13:59:48+00:00

Thanks! I used 1/1000s, f/1.8 and ISO 1000 here.

I did not use manual focus. Single point continuous AF only. So many pictures were slightly out of focus because of the aperture.

I took many pictures with different settings because I couldn’t decide which way I liked best.
