Hi Danielle, this is a great presentation. We're a bit short on leopards etc here in England, but the principles and thought process are equally valid. Especially appreciated by this very average snapper are the in-camera settings and actually seeing the effect live through your external monitor. Many thanks and subscription added!

Hi Danielle, great educational video for the up coming photographers , I am a wildlife/landscape photographer so for me personally the wildebeest and the one with the elephants, wildebeest and baboons was my favourite of them all , the dust like fog or mist creates the ideal separation from what would be a cluttered background and makes the subjects stand out so much better . Thanks again for the lessons !

This was easily one of the most helpful wildlife photography videos I've ever seen. Once one has the basics figured out, it's great to keep seeing examples and then listening to the thought process behind the shots. When to consider zooming in vs out, when to over or underexpose, when to consider a B + W conversion....great stuff.

Great video Danielle! Wow, that backlit scene with the baboons & ellies & wildebeest was absolutely magical!!!😍 I was in Chobe in March and one morning we came across a big troop of baboons. Laskey positioned us beautifully but I really struggled with my settings, and I found the sighting a bit overwhelming cause I didn’t know which individual to focus on. They kept on moving and I kept jumping from individual to individual 🙈 Anyway, hoping to go back in next year and do a retake Thanks for the great tips!

Loved your video. Wondering why you wouldn't use spot metering in the photos of the leopard in the tree? Many thanks!
@C4PhotoSafaris
@C4PhotoSafaris 22 дня назад
Hello Tommy, thank you. I don't like spot metering for wildlife mainly because it gives inconsistent results, even more so with 2-toned animals like leopards/zebras/fish eagles etc. And then also because I have so much to think of already that I don't want to be worried about changing from spot back to evaluative. I did try that at some stage but I like sticking to one metering mode (video coming up about that) to keep it simple. If the leopard was to jump down and walk into bright sunlight spot wouldn't be a great choice. I use exposure compensation coupled with evaluative metering and have come to know my camera that way, how it will perform etc. Hope that makes sense :-) -Danielle

It's a Atomos Ninja, the 4K version. It can be quite cumbersome to work with on a bumpy game drive and takes some getting used to but it's perfect for our purposes. www.ormsdirect.co.za/products/atomos-ninja-5-2-4k-hdmi-recording-monitor
