Wild Nature Photography Podcast

In this episode, I discuss and give my further thoughts on the soon-to-be-announced Canon EOS R1 flagship camera and wrap up both of my Africa workshops with thoughts on the photography experience. I also have a short rant about the current state of YouTube inspired by a comment tweeted by my friend Craig: 'You Tube is a Cancer'. And, of course, this is episode 100 of the podcast, so I take a moment to reflect back on the previous 99 episodes and discuss the future of the podcast.

In this episode, I discuss the consumption of Nature vs, appreciation of Nature after a recent, somewhat sour 'tourist' experience during a tour in the Cango caves in South Africa. Apologies in advance, but I somehow managed to screw up the numbering of these podcasts and refer to this episode as number 89 during the recording when it is, in fact, episode 99. That was most probably jet lag.

In this episode, I briefly update my Namibia workshop, which I wrapped up a couple of days ago (an amazing group and a fantastic trip). I then dive into the Canon EOS R1 Development Announcement, the 'incorrect' Adorama specifications that were unfortunately published worldwide, and discuss the actual resolution and some of specifications of the camera from an inside source.

In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on the current state of play with AI generative images, how they relate to the Nature Photography space, and the disingenuous way computer-generated images are used to fool the general public across social media platforms.

In this episode, I discuss (ok, I rant) how the airlines take advantage of their customers, maximising their profits at their customer's expense. I also delve into my upcoming Namibia and Zululand workshops and discuss the camera equipment I am taking with me. Lastly, I also discuss my thoughts on the many rumour websites and YouTube channels (more of which are popping up daily) related to as-yet unreleased or unannounced photographic equipment.

In this episode, I discuss and review the latest 2024, volume 8 of the Bird Photographer of the Year annual and discuss my reasoning and thoughts on why book reviews are far more helpful than equipment, camera and lens reviews.

In this episode, I briefly wrap up my Greenland Winter dogsled expedition and discuss the roller coast ride that can be Arctic travel in Winter.

Two places remain on my Zululand South Africa ground-level masterclass workshop this June. If you are interested in photographing African wildlife from both luxury hides and ground-level hides (as well as 'walking with Cheetahs), please contact me to register your interest or request additional information.

In this episode, I briefly wrap up my recent February Arctic Fox workshop at the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the far north of Iceland and give my thoughts on cold weather gloves for Nature photographers. As a specialist Polar photographer and over the years of trying many different pairs, I have some experience with what works and what doesn't when it comes to shooting in cold climates. If you shoot a Canon EOS R3 or 1 1DXMK3 with the touch-sensitive AF button in cold weather, you are going to want to listen to this podcast.

Heat 3 Company Gloves - These are ok ; but question mark on the long term durability of the stitching in the liners in my experience. Plus the mid layer zips in the palm have failed for me in two different pairs

In this episode, I discuss the IT infrastructure and the backup strategies I employ in my photography. Increasingly, I am asked to help specify IT hardware and advise on hardware and backup. Much depends on your individual needs and budget, but this episode should help shed some light on my thoughts and processes regarding this complex issue.
