This time I head for a local woodland to try and get images of the wildlife there. I also show you the kit I use for stalking wildlife and why I use it as well as discussing some of the techniques I use.
My Final Review of the Sony FE 200-600 G Lens. Is it any good?
After buying the Sony 200-600 lens over 18 months ago I decided I was well over due to let you know my final thoughts on this lens. Would I recommend it? What I like and what I don't like. By the way this is not a review of the edge to edge sharpness at various focal lengths this is just a wildlife photographers perspective on what the lens is like to use and does it produce the results I want. After using lens from Nikon Canon and Sony over the years how does this one stack up?
How to Photograph Wildlife in the Aftermath of a Heat Wave
After temperatures over thirty degrees for days I took a break from photography not only because it was simply too hot to get out but also to acknowledge that the wildlife would also be suffering in this extreme heat. As temperatures started to drop I headed out of my back door to see what I could see.
A SNAP Trip to Scotland and the Wildlife Photography
Scotland is a beautiful country full of lush landscapes and fascinating wildlife. But what are the best places to go to see all of this stuff? In this video, we'll show you a quick trip to the Cairngorms and some of the best wildlife photography opportunities in Scotland. After booking a family holiday last minute to the Cairngorms in Scotland I try to squeeze in some Wildlife photography and show you how you can too.
How to Photograph Bats with the kit you already have!
Bat photography is quite specialized. After all they are small and fast with an erratic flight, oh and they come out in the dark. It is important to note that you cannot photograph bats near a roost using flash. The bats in this video fly through our gardens nightly for a brief amount of time. The roost is located in a different part of the village. To photograph at or near a roost see the guidelines provided on the Natural England website. After discovering I had some pipistrelles flying over my back garden I thought it would be fun to see if I could get an image using my camera, flash, cable release and tripod. This is how I got on.
Man Vs Badger (this one almost broke me!)
This video took so much work with a subject that over the years has never caused me a problem. This time for what ever reason I just could not get the badgers to come out of the sett before dark, at least not where I expected them too. I did get there in the end…sort of!
