Wildlife With the Nikon 400mm F4.5 for Z Mount

Continuing on from my last few posts, here are some more edits from the backlog of photos I’ve recently got round to looking at, on account of having some time while I recover from surgery.

All are taken with Nikon’s Z mount 400mm F4.5 lens. Someone once remarked on a forum post elsewhere that this lens wasn’t long enough for proper wildlife photography. This struck me as a stupid comment. I hope the following will demonstrate why; you simply need to get closer to your subject physically. For me, that’s half of the fun of wildlife photography - testing your hunting skills, without doing any physical harm to a beautiful, sentient creature.
