TOP TIPS for finding WILDLIFE to photograph!
The search for wildlife to film and photograph never ends!
As we all know, finding wildlife to photograph can be tricky. Depending on the species you could spend all day trekking over a mountain, getting lost walking in circles in a woodland or getting bitten to pieces crawling through boggy undergrowth all to come away empty handed.
And whilst I am not going to pretend like there is a magic fix to all this, in my years embracing the inner nerd and searching for wildlife I have found a few things that helped and hopefully they can help you too.

I bought a NEW camera!
Просмотров 4,9 тыс.2 года назад
I sold my canon 500mm F4 IS and bought this. Lets be clear, this is not me giving up with photos. Quite the opposite in fact. I am always looking to improve the videos I make on here, for you to watch and enjoy. Hopefully this move will do just that. I am currently away using it to film the next episode of out and about to hopefully show just what I mean. So watch this space :D. Z Cam E2 Canon ...
Premium photography on a budget???
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.2 года назад
I tried to take medium format wildlife and landscape photos on a fraction of the cost. Photography can be an expensive hobby. And whilst I am not the sort to claim that you don't need to spend money to get a certain level of image quality, I have always wondered if you can shop on a more realistic budget and get similar results to the kind taken with gear many of us aspire to own. So, I looked ...
Why I'm selling my Canon 500mm F4 IS L

Why I have decided to sell the best lens for wildlife photography (in my opinion). Yes I will admit, this is clickbaity as a tittle and thumbnail but its not a lie :D. I really am selling (or have sold) my 500mm F4 IS L. An incredible prime lens that has worked brilliantly with both my 5DIV (full frame) and 70D (cropped sensor) over the years. Its a little complicated as to why but if you give ...

Wildlife Photography in the city - Foxes

Is it wrong to feed wild animals to get good photos? Baiting in terms of photography at least, and feeding wild animals in general can be hugely divisive (especially in the world of wildlife photography), often generating very passionate arguments around the subject, especially online from people perhaps feeling overstimulated by the effects of anonymity. But with more extreme examples aside, s...

    My way of thinking is we are responsible for so much habitat destruction! Thus less and less food for these beautiful creatures. Look at Australia, the Dingo has been part of Australia for over 10,000 years but they are treated like pests. Foxes and Dingoes are baited here by 1080 poison. All because farmers mainly sheep farmers do not like them... Also now with Kagari Island (Fraser Island) here in QLD. There has been a lot of bad press about the Dingo's due to attacks... But normally these are attacks due to human fault! We are in their home.... It is so sad because these Dingoes normally pay the price of their lives....

      @dolphintouchmichellepsychi6217 Год назад

      Dingo's here on the mainland of Australia are classified as a pest so are the Foxes... I find this so sad. In some states, you still have government-paying people to bring in skins of killed Dingo.... It's just so sad... I feel if you need to bait (in a good way) to capture the heart of someone that might not give a second thought to saving a fox or a Dingo... Then that's a good thing.... We tend to destroy so much land and habitat of many animals...

    Really Matt you need to pack your camera bag with an insect repellent in those environments, the amount of bites and stings you can get can ba a nightmare. I have in the past had as many as 30 to 40 bites/stings on each leg at any one time, the places these bites/stings can get know no bounds making for a very unpleasant few days after to the point of even a couple of days being very ill due to a horsefly bite. As I know how addictive it can be to photograph damselfly etc I really would recommend it, even to the point of wearing some sort of net over your head if in these environments for any length of time. Loved the photos by the way though Matt.

    Not to dredge up the conversation on the issues with baiting on an old video but I’m fairly confident that one of the baiters is @RoxytheZoologist, a well known zoologist/influencer who really should know better. Foxes in city centres are easy enough to approach as is without encouraging dependence and even closer contact with an animal with the potential to bite when not fed - imagine the consequences to both the fox and a child in that kind of situation!

    I mean... we are breeding dinosaurs on a daily base.... chickens! In my opinion most people dont even have the right to brag about things like this.... They mostly dont even know how THEY AFFECT WILDLIFE with all their actions. Just a good example: Multiple hunters, mostly the older generation are always annoying me and friends when we are parking (!!!) our cars at nature spots, meanwhile they RALLY with 40mph+ around the ways, making more moise and dust clouds than we even could, sometimes even black exhaust smoke.... and WE, very silently standing, sitting or going around are disturbing the wildlife? We only shoot pictures from animals at a safe distance without disturbing... meanwhile the hunters dont care much about affecting their behaviours, in fact they even love to bait them to the places they want them to to SHOOT THEM..... In my area we had a big population of deers many years ago. Then the new generation of hunters, some even friends TOOK OVER the nature.... driving like crazy idiots, shooting a lot of deers and now.... its nearly impossible to find some! So a question.... who affected wildlife/nature more now?! The wildlife photographer not even baiting animals or the hunter which is nearly a "blood hungry", inhuman creature but still annoying normal, good people? Or Rangers.... they pretend to do good things... in fact most of them DESTROY NATURE with their Mono-Culture.... Wildlife and Nature is for a good reason WILD, not planned.

    Lovely stuff! With the multi exposure thing, you need a dark background to allows the layers to show through without being blown exposure wise. You could try putting a black card (or maybe mottled dark green and brown) behind the bee, the heather should hold it well enough and the depth of field won't make it noticeable. It is nice having that faint ghostly look, which would be inevitable as some vegetation will be between the bee and the card, but at least this way it's less likely to result in a blown exposure (e.g. three consecutive bright areas). This could be done in post easily, just masking out each layer, but leaving it to chance is a lot nicer. The card should give you enough control to get a useable shot though. Just to make it clear: On the first layer, the bee and flower is on the right, with dark card showing through on the centre and left; second layer, bee in the middle, card on right and left, and; third, bee left, card middle and right. Anyhow, thanks for the video, lovely to watch
