Welcome back, Bird Photography Show! I really enjoyed seeing the dynamic duo once more. Beautiful photos from your Australian adventures. Thank you Jan and Glenn!
Oh my goodness!! Sounds hectic Glen! What an adventure that must have been! Put Africa on the list for your next one! Wishing you all the best for your healing Jan. Great video!
Excited for more episodes of BPS, they are propably my favorite type of content from you Jan! Keep up the good work and I hope you health will get even better. Cheers from Czech Republic
So great episode. The enthusiasm is just shining from both of you. I hope there will be more episodes from the field in the future. I totaly love this one. 💚
It's nice to see you guys back on the air and Jan I'm glad to see you're doing a lot better . Well Glen it sounds like there's a place that I will never go to and that's New Guinea I believe in going to places that are safe , not the dangerous situation you were in . Next time you guys do A show can you talk about the kind of equipment you're now using the reason I ask this is equipment is changing so fast right in front of us .
Thanks guys, I've been waiting for Glenn's video debrief of his trip, very enjoyable recollections with a few laughs and great footage behind the scenes. Cheers
So glad to see you guys back on the air! Jan- I am so sorry to hear that you have been unwell. I wish you a speedy recovery. As I was watching the show I was thinking that I would email you both and ask if you were going to do a workshop together in Australia someday. And then I heard it!!!! Please put me on the waitlist. It would be a dream come true. Once again, another good and interesting show.
Thanks for another great video... It's amazing to see the improvement in your health week on week. You really looked weak and miserable when you first returned to us, but every video now, we can see an improvement... Fantastic.... Onward and upwards!! 👍👍🤗
Great show Jan & Glenn , one of your best and thanks for featuring one of my photos. I appreciate the recommendation and will make the changes suggested for my master copy. Looking forward to all your future shows.
I’m sure that RF versions of the fast super-tele’s are coming at some point in the future, which is good news for those with deep pockets who don’t already own the EF versions, but if one does own the EF versions it seems to make sense to spend $150 - $400 on the Meike or Canon VND EF - RF converter, especially if shooting video where ND is needed.
Thank you guys and welcome back! Really glad to see Jan, finally in good health, and the wonderful bird photos both of you have taken in Papua and Australia. It's really amazing. So excited for the next episodes!
Welcome back guys. Really nice to see you together again in this video. And thanks for choosing my photo Jan. Got very happy for that, and for the really good advices you gave on it. Stunning all of the photos. Both from you guys, and all the other photos you picked from the other viewers. About risking my life for a bird photo i haven"t done, but i have photographed a Jaguar from three meters distance, alone in the night, in the statepark where we was living a few years ago. The only place in Rio Grande do Sul, that still have this amazing animal. And managed to do it more 15 times without getting eaten hehehehe. Have a great week. Cheers, Bjoern
@@jan_wegener A little risky it can be. But i did work with monitoring the jaguars in the park, so i sort of knew what i was doing, but you can never be totally sure anyway. And i managed to be the first person in history to photograh the jaguar in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. Always a bit harder heartbeats when you see this amazing and powerful animal coming against you. But i will never forget this amazing moments. Cheers, and all the best to you from Brazil
Well done guys. It brings back some great memories of my trip to eastern Australia in September. Your comments about O'Reilly's were spot on. I think I'll remove PNG from my travel bucket list
You are such a cool team together. Very pleasant to watch and just so much to like. I really really enjoy these shows as they give me the feeling of being connected with what I love doing so much even when I don’t have enough time atm to do it. So seeing you do it and being so good at sharing it give me a feeling of doing it too haha. Great work
I was on Buka Island, Bougainville which currently is still part of PNG in October, 2023 and a Blyth’s Hornbill would sell for $300 for eating. These are stunning birds. Huge. Certainly some interesting birds about, but like main PNG anything that moved use to get eaten. Slowly coming back.
What an epic collection of awesome birds Jan & Glenn !! I'm so glad Jan's health is improving and allowing you to resume this magic #birdphotoshow ! I would be thrilled if we could encounter some of those Papua birds this July in Bali while taking a lot less risk ;-)
@@jan_wegener @Glenn Bartley heheh, maybe not many but at least some like the Cendrawasih .. and that's clearly a hell of lot more than what can be found in the wild in Europe ;-) Yesterday I was 'training' for the Bali Sterling by taking a 1000 images relatively close up of the Common Starling 😛 It's beyond any doubt you and Glenn are in favor conservation of nature. Yet, while objectively describing the situation in PNG, Glenn steered clear from condemning and judging the local people who hunt and eat even tiny birds because they may be doing this just to survive. I strongly appreciate your attitude in this respect, because condemning and avoiding this country (like some commenters suggest) will not do any good in preserving those precious and amazing birds!
If planning a trip to Australia then I would suggest Kakadu and Litchfield parks for birding. There is a place called Fogg dam that has some really great bird life.
Very interesting, especially about the situation in PNG. Glenn, great you bought a new lens, unless I missed it, did you say which one you got? I think I saw a 100-500 in one of the clips. :)
You should definitely try going to Muyil, Quintana Roo, Mexico. It’s an absolutely amazing birding hotspot, you can typically find 50-60+ species in just a few (3-5) hours, and many of them are much rarer in other parts of the yucatan peninsula. It can be very challenging to take amazing photos though, because the jungle is extremely dense and very dark (I’m talking ISO 12800 1/40 during sunrise)
Have you tried Canons FV-mode on the R5/R3/R7 ? It looks amazing. Saw a video called "the one exposure mode to rule them all" and will try this out. What do you know?
Try heading to Laos, In Asia they eat everything that flys crawls anything. But, in Laos they have taken it to a different level. It is horrible to see. Total devastation. Malaysia has wiped out all life because of the palm oil plantations. Total lifeless landscape for thousands of miles. Truly horrifying for a guy that likes nature and wildlife to see.
Surprising amount of good birds still hanging on in the remnant riverine forest along the Kinabitangan River in Sabah though you have to travel through miles of oil palm plantations to reach the area. Very good location for hornbills
@@markwalker8374 Well Taman Nagara (several parks) in Malaysia is still pretty good. Several parks around, but as you say you have to travel threw a wasteland to get there. I lived in Malaysia in the sticks photographing for about 1 year.
Give men weapons - even just sticks and stones - and they'll fight! Why are we such violent creatures? Papua N.G. sounds like an "interesting" place. So they hunt birds, do they? I do hope they don't hunt bird photographers or tourists. Anyway, I'm happy enough seeing YOUR images, rather than going there myself. Does that make me a coward? Maybe, and if so, so be it. (Although my laziness plays a big part). Nice to see you guys again. Can't wait to see your next one.
@@jan_wegener the bird of paradise was likely being sold for its plumes to be used in their elaborate headdresses in Sing Sing dances. The plumes are culturally extremely important element of their tribal identity. Aside from the spectacle of a Sing Sing its a challenge to identify all the different bird parts used in costumes, from eagles, to birds of paradise, parrots and more
We hope you all enjoy the show. Thanks very much for watching and subscribing 😎
Best New Guinea bird photos I have seen for a long time. Well done in tough conditions
Please release a vlog for this, it's so inspiring.
Velvet-purple Coronet caused us the same issue in Mindo - just would not let anything else come to the feeder
Wooow. Thanks for sharing the beautiful birds you had photographed under stressful circumstances.
Enjoyed listening to both of you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you.
Another great show. I'm glad I don't need a military escort when I go out.
Yes it would get old day after day thats for sure...
My favorite channel, glad you are back! So glad you are on the mend Jan. Beautiful video of incredible birds! Thanks!

I just love this show and birds aren’t even my primary focus in nature photography but you guys are really great! Keep them coming 👍
Glad you like them!
Quality video guys! I’m in for your Aussie photo tour 😃
Look forward to meeting you!
Welcome to West Papua
I look forward to visiting!
I was on Buka Island, Bougainville which currently is still part of PNG in October, 2023 and a Blyth’s Hornbill would sell for $300 for eating. These are stunning birds. Huge. Certainly some interesting birds about, but like main PNG anything that moved use to get eaten. Slowly coming back.
They really need to get some chickens instead...
Hi love your videos. Please keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
What an epic collection of awesome birds Jan & Glenn !! I'm so glad Jan's health is improving and allowing you to resume this magic #birdphotoshow !
I would be thrilled if we could encounter some of those Papua birds this July in Bali while taking a lot less risk ;-)
Hehe, I don’t thinks there’s many BOP in Bali 😉
@@jan_wegener @Glenn Bartley heheh, maybe not many but at least some like the Cendrawasih .. and that's clearly a hell of lot more than what can be found in the wild in Europe ;-)

Been there a few times, great spots
Definitely on my list! Next trip!
Very interesting, especially about the situation in PNG. Glenn, great you bought a new lens, unless I missed it, did you say which one you got? I think I saw a 100-500 in one of the clips. :)
Yes 100-500, although in the clips that was mine
Yes 100-500.....I'll share my thoughts in our next video!

I haven’t. It looks interesting, but since I always shoot full manual I don’t have much use for it
Thanks
Thank you 😀
Thank you!
Are you Prosets work on Lightroom Classic?
Yes they work in LR and ACR
Thank you guys a lot!
What du you think: Is the update to version 2 of DxO's PureRaw worth the 79$?
Not if you don’t need it because of camera support. I always think there will be a pure raw 3 this year
@@jan_wegener Perfekt, danke!
Hi, I'm not sure if I heard it, but would be possible to share the name of the place in Australia?
Which one
Is it just me or do all the bird images in this vid, and others, need some added contrast?
Try heading to Laos, In Asia they eat everything that flys crawls anything. But, in Laos they have taken it to a different level. It is horrible to see. Total devastation. Malaysia has wiped out all life because of the palm oil plantations. Total lifeless landscape for thousands of miles. Truly horrifying for a guy that likes nature and wildlife to see.

Papa Guinea chat was just too upsetting. To hear how people wilfully kill our beautiful wildlife is awful.
They don’t have the luxury of super markets etc

Sorry you've been crook Jan, hope it's nothing too serious
It’s getting better but will be with me for a while I am afraid
Thanks!
