Great video! One request - can you introduce a lag before displaying the name of the birds? I am trying to find vids to use to teach my kid to identify SA birds and he thinks it is pretty funny if he can just read the answer instead of working it out for himself! The lag just needs to be long enough to pause the vid.
I have a Canon 70D and sigma 150-600 and I have considered taking it to Africa not to take pictures of birds but other animals will it work for that too
It works perfectly, generally depending on where you go you will be vehicle bound for game viewing without being able to drastically change your positioning, the reach of the 600m you will almost always be able to get the shot. If you more than 600mm reach away, it's probably too far anyway. All the videos on the channel are with the 90D and the Sigma 150-600mm C, birds animals and some scenery.
Kruger as a solo trip is the greatest experience you can possibly ever have. It does have its drawbacks that you probably miss a ton of stuff if you go too fast, but otherwise I can highly recommend it. It is great sharing it with people whom enjoy it, but I get to film it and share stuff later so best of both worlds. There is nothing like sitting quietly at some spot without the expectation of having to say anything at all.........
7:33 is a White-browed Sparrow-Weaver, rather than the Yellow-throated Bush-Sparrow. Much starker brown/white contrast, and a much more distinctive white eyebrow. Amazing video!
Very smart - Small buffaloes drink behind the big bulls with horns facing outwards. Croc would have to be an absolute giant to try them and still may lose out
The Impala is well aware of the crocodile or alligator presence lurking right in front of him. That is one bold Impala testing the water. Notice it's watchful eyes. He knows when to fold.
Got mine week ago. Going to test it on cinema camera c100 mkii. I have hor vert adjustable fluid head tripod for resistance adjustable pan. Looking to see how 850 iso clog works in video.
The male was eating while i was taking some pictures then moved away. It came back when I started shooting, but I think the water was extremely cold and I suspect it was wasn't all that keen in wading in the second time round.
