Very timely. I have been locked up in the dark without such advisory package. Thanks a lot. Let everyone who has learnt how to take wildlife photos to visit Uganda for amazing wildlife pictures.
Always a pleasure to learn new things, thank you, Charl, My problem, "old age panic", a good shot ruined for in the excitement I press wrong buttons, that I've used for years!
Brilliant informative video and great reminders for everyone to remember even experienced photographers may have forgotten. Also all the video are a highlights of the week with this current lockdown.
Thanks a ton! Can a video be made about what features/factors affect the raw files in M mode. For example, the HIGH ISO NR, the Picture Mode, The Long Exposure NR, the White Balance, etc
Dear Sabine, Charl and Janine .... hoping to obtain your advice on what i'm doing wrong with my 5D Mk IV with a Canon 300 mm f2.8. I'm currently in the only reserve for Asiatic lions, in the Gir forest of West India. None of the eyes of the lions and lionesses I have taken today are 'tack sharp' as they should be - and that is quite frustrating as I'm doing what I think is right. I handheld the camera at sunset with 1/640 shutter speed, with a single point AF focus clearly on the eye of the lion, with a reasonable f6.3 and ISO 1250. Is the shutter speed low? Should I use a smaller aperture? It would be very kind of any of you if I could share a few images and obtain your feedback. .... many thanks, Harsh Singh Lohit. India.
I love watching your videos. I have been to Africa 4 times and love filming there. Do you ever get clients, like me, that just shoots video using a real camcorder such as the Canon XF705 and not a DSLR?
@@PangolinWildlife Not yet. Maybe after all this mess is over. I am scheduled for three weeks in the Falklands, St. George Island and Antarctica in 2021 so maybe after that. I videoed elephants, hippos and other wildlife from small boats in Malawi and loved it.
Hi Harish. That is an African Jacana. the extra legs are its young tucked up under its wings. The best time to see this sort of behaviour is April and May in the Chobe.

Thank you for reminding us of the steps of the simple things. We often overthink and overload ourselves rather than just doing the basics right.
Glad to help.,

Very rarely to be honest but every once in a while. You should comer and give it a go in the Chobe? Ever been?

Still also use film cameras as well just to keep the manual skills up to date I carry alongside my digital camera
Old school. Great!
Please elaborate on exposure compensation in next video.
We have a video on that in the pipeline.
