wildlife

I have been using a tripod and handholding for a few years now, but I'm considering getting a monopod for more support but be more mobile. Of course I'm planning to slap on a wimberley mh 100 on it. I can see that Siriu just released a new monopod with one step rapid height adjustment, as shown...

although native to Africa, they stay in Germany during winter despite the cold and the snow.

I believe a Z-9 is as good a pro camera as any. After having it for over a year, I know the menu and settings inside and out. Thanks to Steve Perry initially and then lots of perseverance. It's worth it. It's a great tool if you know how to use it and the combinations and creative choices one...

Compilation of Wildlife Videos shot by me in India and Kenya. Been doing wildlife photography for 3+ years. Been doing bits of video since I purchased the Z9 a year ago.

hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) / Taubenschwänzchen the Colibri-like moth. Native in the Mediterranean area, but a rare guest in Northern Europe. Travels far and fast, but cannot survive a winter north of the Alpes.

Hi all - newbie here. Enjoy what I am seeing so far and look forward to many great discussions and learning some new stuff. I have been applying for the McNeil river permit for several years now and I finally "won" a standby spot this summer. I am not going to lie I am a little disapointed it...

This baby Alligator was barely visible among the aquatic vegetation in 40-acre Pond, Brazos Bend State Park, Texas. With a low-survivability rate due to predation by Herons, larger alligators, and other hungry animals in the local ecosystem, baby gators keep a low-profile.

Thought I'd share this here. I'm very new to video, and this was my second time out with the 800mm PF. Lots to learn. I really never was very interested in shooting video, but I now think it's a super tool in the kit for when the light is very limited, when the background is cluttered or not...

Interesting and different from the frequent camera gear articles. I found this to be an open ended article, with too few pointers to tactics to getting close... https://photographylife.com/wide-angle-wildlife-photography
