28.08.2024 - Canon EOS R1 or Canon EOS R5 MK2?28 Aug 202400:15:05

In this episode I discuss the noise reduction pre-sets I have just released for the Canon EOS R5MK2 as well as my first outing and experience with the camera in the field. Now that the dust has settled on the official announcement of the Canon EOS R1 and the Canon EOS R5MKII, I want to take a few moments to discuss the differences between these two cameras, their key features and who they are intended for.

22.02.2024 - Cold Weather Gloves for Photographers22 Feb 202400:22:49

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.

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.

I have just published Episode #88, Season 4, of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I retrospectively look back at the travel and workshops from 2023 and dive into the 2024 year of travel ahead. During the year 2023, I guided twelve different workshops and expeditions around the world, as well as several private workshops and multiple print and processing workshops. Links to the 2023 Trip Reports are included below. My book pick of the year is Vincent Munier's new masterpiece 'Munier' (Podcast review coming very soon) and my gear pick of the year is the Canon RF 100-500mm lens.

12.01.2024 - Mongolia Wrap!12 Jan 202400:12:15

In my Wild Nature Photography Podcast's latest season (season 4) for 2024, I wrap up my just completed January Pallas Cat expedition to Mongolia's eastern Steppe region in Winter. I will have a full written trip report on this expedition in the next few days, along with some photographs, but I wanted to get my initial thoughts down in a podcast while they are still fresh in my mind (2023 Trip Report). I will be returning again to the far east of Mongolia to lead a workshop to photograph these amazing cats in January of 2025. The expedition will run from January 4th to January 10th 2025, and is for those photographers looking to get out into the wilderness to photograph these incredible felines. Drop me an email if you would like more information.

29.12.2023 - Antarctica Wrap Up and 2023 Podcast Year in Review29 Dec 202300:18:53

In this podcast episode, I wrap up my 2023 Antarctica expedition with some initial thoughts on this incredible trip (full trip report coming soon), give my thoughts on a short scouting trip to Easter Island, and review the 2023 Podcast year. Although I did not squeeze in as many Podcasts as I would have liked in 2023, I managed to get a new episode out almost every two weeks with an average of 2.08 (much better than I first thought). The podcast was downloaded across a total of 67 countries over the course of the year, with the USA topping the charts for the most downloads. The most downloaded episode was the Ethical Use of Drones in Wildlife Photography, which was published on the 11th of July, 2023. Of course, I will be endeavouring to improve on those statistics in 2024 with more episodes with even higher quality content. In this episode, I also cover the recently published January 2024 edition of the UK's EOS magazine, which featured my photography on the front cover, as well as an extended feature on my Polar photography. Also recently published was a second feature on my photography in Food and Travel magazine.

29.11.2023 - Packing for Antarctica 202329 Nov 202300:17:58

I have just published episode #85 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss what equipment I am taking with me to Antarctica next week, as well as my packing strategy and decision not to purchase Canon's new RF10-20mm Lens. This will probably be the last podcast before I depart for Antarctica next week - although I will do my best to get in my review of either Volume 8 of Bird Photographer of the Year or Vincent Munier's new retrospective 'Munier'.

17.07.2024 - Using your Lens as a Spotting Scope17 Jul 202400:18:53

In this episode, I discuss a technique you can implement to use your telephoto lens as a spotting scope when out in the field (avoiding the need for either binoculars or a dedicated spotting scope). Additionally, my thoughts on picking up the latest cover of the July / August edition of Wildlife Photographic magazine (along with a feature article on Emperor Penguin photography) and winning three highly coveted Gold awards (and two Silver with Distinctions) at the recent Australian Photographic Prize in Melbourne. This episode also airs on the eve of the exciting Canon EOS R1 Flagship and EOS R5 MKII launch.

28.10.2023 - When Serendipity Meets Technology28 Oct 202300:20:59

I have just published episode #83 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this long overdue episode (apologies for the significant delay), I give my thoughts on two new Canon Lenses, the RF 10-20mm and the yet-to-be-officially-announced 200-800mm telephoto lens (look for the official announcement of this lens in the next few days). I also briefly discuss the new HDR feature in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom and the excellent new Point Colour / HSL local adjustment capability that is now available inside the individual masking tools in Lightroom. I also give my initial impressions of the 8th edition of the Bird Photographer of the Year annual book (includes three of my commended photographs) and Scott Portelli's new Antarctica book (reviews of both will be coming in future podcast episodes). Additionally, I provide details of my upcoming webinar for BenQ on post-production. This webinar will be held on the 8th of November and is free (you just need to register). I also discuss the main topic of this episode: what happens when serendipity meets technology and my experience photographing the European Pygmy Owl in near total darkness in northern Finland with the Canon EOS R3 and Canon RF600mm f4L IS USM lens. By way of preview, the European Pygmy Owl will be the November photograph of the month for 2023.

19.08.2023 - Packing for Finland, Greenland and Iceland19 Aug 202300:19:56

I have just published episode #81 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss my packing strategy for Finland, Greenland and Iceland workshops that kick off next month in September 2023. Some challenges come with packing for both a dedicated wildlife trip (Finland), a mixed wildlife and landscape trip (Greenland) and a dedicated landscape extension trip (Iceland). As a result, the lenses for these trips comprise almost exclusively of zooms.

30.06.2023 - Lens Protection Systems Reviewed and Compared30 Jun 202300:25:14

In this podcast episode, I compare and review two very different solutions by two competing companies to protect expensive telephoto lenses when out in the field - Lens Coat and AlphaGVRD. Lens Coat offers its traditional neoprene cover solution, and AlphaGVRD provides a more contemporary 3M Wrap. Which is best and why? Listen in for my thoughts and impressions on fitment, durability, ease of use, investment price and ultimately, my thoughts and impressions on which is best and why.

In this episode, I discuss my thoughts and impressions of the scouting trip I just completed to Barrow, Alaska and photography of the birds that inhabit the extensive Arctic Tundra in this region. The purpose of this scouting trip was to explore the potential for a future workshop in this far-flung region of Alaska, both from a photographic and infrastructure perspective. I will have a full written trip report with photographs in the next few weeks on my return to Australia. In the meantime, this podcast covers my initial thoughts and impressions on this ten-day experience.

27.04.2023 - The New Big Five Book Review27 Apr 202300:14:42

I have just published Episode #72 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I review the all-new Big Five project photography conservation book.

08.06.2024 - The Consumption of Nature08 Jun 202400:13:37

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.

I have just published Episode #63  of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast . In this episode, I discuss packing and equipment for my Arctic Fox expedition in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in north-western Iceland as well as discuss the often maligned Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1 IS L series lens. This is a lens I was not too keen on initially based on its variable f-stop, but recent tests have made me a complete convert. This lens is a must-have for Canon wildlife photographers.

11.01.2023 - Rant! Qantas is an Australian Embarrassment11 Jan 202300:13:59

I have just published Episode #61  of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I briefly wrap up our fantastic Pallas Cat expedition in the far east of Mongolia in Winter (full trip report coming soon) and then move on to a significant rant about the total lack of customer service and care from what is supposed to be Australia's number-one premier airline - Qantas. The total lack of customer support, lack of care, and total focus on profit at all costs is an embarrassment to Australia. I have been a Qantas Platinum flyer (a status that is apparently utterly worthless) for nearly ten years. I have spent many tens of thousands of dollars annually with the airline over the last decade. Today was the final straw, with Qantas providing me an unworkable connection time of just twenty minutes in Helsinki as their solution to a change in their flight schedules. Apparently, I am expected to land in Helsinki from Reykjavik and change to my international flight to Doha in twenty minutes. An absolutely impossible transit time. Their solution when I pointed this out was, I quote, 'We are sorry; that is all we can offer you. You can speak with the service desk when you arrive in Helsinki.' My answer is to vote with my wallet and take my business elsewhere. In summary, I am absolutely done with Qantas and will no longer book future travel with them if I can avoid it. Sayonara Qantas.

In this podcast episode, I discuss my equipment and packing for both the sold-out Pallas Cat and Snow Leopard expeditions in Mongolia in January 2023.
