n this video I visit a new woodland site and spend a couple of hours looking for the tracks and signs of the animals that live there. Developing these skills is essential if you want to become a successful wildlife photographer. Please let me know in the comments below if you would like me to produce more videos like this in greater detail for each individual species. Thanks for watching!
I have never been a big fan of the wildlife viewing hides on nature reserves and have tended to largely steer clear of them. In this video I take the plunge and head back to some reserve hides and explain what issues I have with them and see if I can overcome these issues to produce some decent images. Watch and find out how I get on at Blacktoft Sands Nature reserve.
After looking at budget methods to get into macro photography I decided it was high time I gave my new macro lens a proper outing. In this video I use the lens exclusively on its own and then with a extension tubes to see if I can get images greater than one to one size. I finish off by using the lens with a flash and diffuser. Is this lens a stellar macro performer? Watch and find out.
This time i show you how to get into the facinating world of macro photography on a budget. As always if you enjoy the video please give it a like and subscribe to the channel.
This week I head out with my Sony A7r3 and macro lens. As a wildlife photographer I am often busy photographing the larger birds and animals in the environment. However as we move towards summer I also focus on the smaller creatures and plants that surround us and often go un-noticed. A macro lens is a great way to discover the smaller world that surrounds us and enables the skilled photographer to create wonderful images, often very close to home. In this video I give you an introduction to the macro world and tips to help you get the most from your macro lens. This video does not cover any kit other than a camera lens and possibly a tripod. Future videos will cover more complex techniques such as the use of flash and focus stacking but this video will provide the new macro photographer with the information to create some wonderful images.
Back button focus is an accepted method which has become very popular especially among wildlife photographers. Having tried this method a number of times I found I just couldn't get on with it. The logic of changing my shooting style for what amounted to a limited number of situations just didn't make sense so I looked for an alternative that would work for me. So here is the simple answer and the method I use today.
