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.  Support the show Wild Nature Photo Travel Photography Workshops and Expeditions around the World www.wildnaturephototravel.com Support the Show ..read more

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. 66 North Base Layer Gloves for Photographers  - Works with C ..read more

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 ..read more

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.
