My Great great grandfather John Patterson was born on the island of Mull love 💗 seeing the homeland I dream of going their but I am on a limited income don’t think I get there
Enjoyed your vlog Rich. Fantastic photography info about Mull. I was there on 14th April, think that's my white honda parked next to you at Loch na Keal.😄👍
Really liked this! we are off to Mull in August and I liked the honesty in this video, No made up over hyped crap like in a lot of videos these days! Watched this whist at work and not logged in so came back to leave a comment as I know it helps!
Thanks , appreciate that. I know the Eagles and Owls etc are the usual fare for Mull vids but genuinely I went for everything , the owls and eagles were a bonus …. I’ll always be honest about my photography , for me it’s the only way. Enjoy your visit , and I’ll defo be going back
Hi Rich, great to see you out and about, love the video. I have 5D4 and 100-400mm with 1.4 extender which is a great bit of kit but still a bit short a lot of the time. I also have a 500 F4 MK2 which I bought second hand ( still cost an arm and a leg ) best lens I’ve ever owned, combined with 1.4 extender it doesn’t loose any picture quality in my opinion but when I put 2x extender on It’s a different story. Look forward to your next video. 👍
@@RRNaturePhotography Hi Rich, yes R5 with 45 megapixels will allow more cropping for a start, it’s definitely the way to go , but it’s so expensive. I’m saving up for it but it’s going to take me a long time, probably be an R5 mk 2 bye then 😁
Hi Richy I was in similar situation but on Sky birds were very few but I did get an otter and yes 3 out of 3 days of rain and saw a low flying eagle while driving on the way of the island ,so I do commiserate with you.
Nice video Rich. I was on Mull a couple of weeks before you, it is a special place. I find the 2x converter very poor for photographs but quite good on video so only use when filming now. What a treat to see the Golden & White-tailed Eagles together, super stuff.
might be worth picking up a sigma 150-600mm, the native 600mm will be better than 400 with x2 supprised you cant AF with the x2, i had two x2 canon III extenders stacked with the sigma 150-600mm c on my M50 and it AF on jupiter perfectly fine, alot slower with two of them but with one it was good af in daylight, prefer it with native 600mm, over that you can get atmospheric heat hazes etc sometimes 150-600mm c is around £700-800 uk, you may prefer the sport version for the better weather sealing, image wise they are near identical great to see you having a great time saw some buzzards and red kites for the first time also a male black redstart, all from north london Interesting veiw point on the M50 as its similar to a couple of other pro wildlifers, i been using mine for 2 1/2 years and i got it down to pretty good, also found a 50-150mm ƒ2.8 sigma EX APO OS on ebay in brand new condition which i got for darker forest areas, very nice short to medium range lens cant wait to see how a better camera performs after only using the M50, its a waiting game to see what canons next move is in the crop sensor camera playground i do love the efm lenses for compact carry,
I agree with Laura (i'm guessing that by username) I had the sigma 150-600, great lens for the price! I moved to sony and used it for a while before moving to native sony glass. I also have a 2xiii that i'm going to trade in to pick up a sony 1.4x
Hi , some interesting thoughts there , thanks. I have owned the Tamron 150-600 in the past and while it is a great lens, I went back to the Canon L series eventually. I’m looking to upgrade to the R5 next then hopefully a f4 500mm but that’s a way off. I only bought the M50 for vlogging really and haven’t tried it for photos that much but might give it a second chance
@@RRNaturePhotography I used to use an m50 for vlogging, was great but I sold it during lockdown and now will use my a7iii. I did like the sigma 150-600 but really happy with the sony 200 -600 now.
Great vlog Rich & some lovely images too. We were on Mull for 4 days a couple of weeks after your visit, stunning island & we’re going back for a longer visit next year. Dad & I did find some of the Otters that Mull is famous for, but it was a lot of walking, a lot of searching & two tired photographers. Worth it to see a Mother & her two pups feeding on eels & crabs though. Thanks for sharing, I’ve now subscribed to your channel. Best, Nick
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. After Mull I was not happy with my 5Dmk4 so when the R7 was announced it looked like a perfect replacement. Had to sell the 5D to fund it though. Problem was there was no stock and after waiting a few months on order, life kicked in and I had to use the money for More important things. Had to cancel My order so now I have no camera body and don’t have the funds to buy one at the moment. Very frustrating but hope to get back to it when I can afford it. Thanks for asking though 👍
Although I enjoyed watching your video on the Isle of Mull I found it a bit irritating when listening to you talking in a soft voice and then the music came in it was to loud and I found myself having to turn the volume up and down all the time maybe something you should take into consideration. Just saying. Apart from that great video.
My Great great grandfather John Patterson was born on the island of Mull love 💗 seeing the homeland I dream of going their but I am on a limited income don’t think I get there
It is a beautiful place. Hope you make it one day
Great video hopefully I’ll see the otters and eagles when I visit mull in September
Hope so, it is a wonderful place

Well small world isn’t it …. Even when raining it is so beautiful. … thanks Simon 👍
WELL DONE RICH YOU MANAGED SOME GREAT STILLS REGARDS DAVE

Thanks Chris, I agree it’s a great setup but I am looking to move to the R5 and eventually the f4 500mm when finances allow

This is why I shoot with a Sony 600mm f4

Thanks , yeah even the best places are hard sometimes

Thanks Stewart. It was special, I never even realised until I watched the video back but what an amazing place 👍
might be worth picking up a sigma 150-600mm, the native 600mm will be better than 400 with x2
supprised you cant AF with the x2, i had two x2 canon III extenders stacked with the sigma 150-600mm c on my M50 and it AF on jupiter perfectly fine, alot slower with two of them but with one it was good af in daylight, prefer it with native 600mm, over that you can get atmospheric heat hazes etc sometimes
150-600mm c is around £700-800 uk, you may prefer the sport version for the better weather sealing, image wise they are near identical
great to see you having a great time
saw some buzzards and red kites for the first time also a male black redstart, all from north london
Interesting veiw point on the M50 as its similar to a couple of other pro wildlifers, i been using mine for 2 1/2 years and i got it down to pretty good, also found a 50-150mm ƒ2.8 sigma EX APO OS on ebay in brand new condition which i got for darker forest areas, very nice short to medium range lens
cant wait to see how a better camera performs after only using the M50, its a waiting game to see what canons next move is in the crop sensor camera playground
