Long time from your last video! Wish everything its ok and you bring up more content
Hi Cameron. I hope your well, not seen any more amazing content from you at present, has I follow your work from the UK 🇬🇧
Your lucky to walk out your front door to seeing all that scenery and wildlife.
You saved the best for last! That's a great story to tell and is also one of my must-tell stories, as a lover of the Arctic: sled dogs and the people who rely upon them. Looking forward to seeing the photos you'll capture! Cheers!
Really just grabbed my attention with the dog sledding photo content and so looking forward to seeing your photos/vids. Newly subbed and excited. Lived in Girdwood back in late 70’s.
Nice episode Cameron. Really good insight.
Hey Cameron, I think a video showing how you develop and process your own film at home would be awesome!
Film?
I just found you, and I’m really enjoying your videos. Your point about printing is spot on, it’s hard to master, but it will make you a better photographer. I also did something similar for a day-use bag. I bought an Osprey backpack and put padding in it.
Very good video Cameron, I love the fact that you are committed to Nikon, I get tired of seeing wildlife photographers changing every time something new comes out. It is not always the gear that makes a great image, it is the skill of the photographer knowing his gear and knowing the subject that he is photographing. I am a Nikon shooter as well and like you I love my Nikon gear and have no plans to chase the newest and latest. Like you said just get out there and shoot and enjoy yourself.
Another great video! I'd be curious to know more about the gear you wear to stay warm and dry up there in Alaska. Do you have a gear list or anything that talks about that stuff?
That RUclips algorithm at work again. Subscribed. I’m probably going to end up doing the bag thing because I cant find a bag that is comfortable.
Welcome, brother. Forsure! I completely gave up trying to make it work with a “camera bag” haha
You know how much money he wasted on camera bags? Personally I think they are a ripp-off. The mountain/ hiking bag & icu s the only way to go for wildlife/landscape photography. Best move he ever made.
Thanks for sharing your vision of photography, your story, and bag solution.
Excellent video with insight into wildlife photography
Hi Cameron, good to have an insight into how you work and think about your wildlife photography. Your passion for wildlife / images always shines through and whenever i need inspiration to kickstart me i watch a couple of your vlogs/ videos and that usually does the trick. Keep up the excellent work, i always look forward to your next video.
You're such a genuinely nice guy to listen to. Really appreciate the time you put into this. The only point I disagree with, is your statement about us being smarter xD
All the best with your project and cheers from Switzerland

An excellent video packed with plenty of very useful info. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your service.👍👍👍
Great story. I'm just getting into photographing birds. I just sat for 3 hours on a pond here in Washington State shooting wood ducks and redwing blackbirds. Got 3 pix that I'm very happy with. But the hours sitting and listening to a dozen other species.... just awesome.
Glad I stumbled onto your channel. Subscribed!
Another well presented video, thanks for the tip on the podcast 🙂
Your work is top notch. Love your channel.
thanks, brother! stoked you’re enjoying the channel🙏
Hi Cameron! First a thank you for an inspiring photo channel! Right away when you started talking about camera bags I began to wonder what your solution would be and thinking to myself if you were aware of FStop Gear. And then few seconds later there it is. I find their ICUs to be great. I have the large and will be getting the XL soon. Thanks again!
Great work. Keep it up.
Wow. How did I not know about you? Amazing talent and videos.
Don't waste your money on a blind, I too have been doing wildlife photography for a long time (23 years) and I've never used a blind. Like you I was also in the Army, spent six years doing that, 3 deployments to Afghanistan, so I understand camoflage and it's benefits and shortcomings! Even when I'm photographing water fowl and birds in flight at the Bay near my house, I would never buy or use a blind. It's not about the price, because I have over $25k in photography gear, it's that I don't need it and I don't believe most people do. Sure there are some situations and some benefits to them and I would never argue against them completely, it's just not my style. I don't even use LensCoat's anymore, as they just got in my way and I don't think the animals or birds cared. They like us look for and see movement, so having a lens coat on your giant super-tele lens is not going to confuse the animals or birds. It's near impossible to stay completely still while doing wildlife photography, so I just don't see the benefit to camo in general. To each their own and whatever works for you, that's whats most important, but for me I'm good without using blinds, hides or camoflage! Great video and I could relate with the struggle to find the best camera bag, especially when you have a lot of gear. For me I found a two bag system to be the best solution. I can fit almost everything into my everyday bag, which is a ThinkTank Airport Accelerator. It fit's either both of my D5 bodies or a D5/D500 combo, my 500mm f/4E VR FL, 70-200mm f/2.8E VR FL and 24-70mm f/2.8E VR along with my TC-14E III and whatever extras. If I'm just going out to do wildlife photography I bring my other bag, which is a Lowepro Lens trekker 650 AW III. It's the newest edition and carries up to an 800mm lens, so it easily fits my 500mm with hood attached and or D5/D500 attached. I can also attach a body bag to the side of the Lens Trekker and bring both a D5/D500, which I often do as I prefer switch to DX instead of a TC in good lighting. If it's low light, I'll use the TC-14E III on the 500mm and D5, as the D5 does better at low light high ISO. If I need ultimate reach, which is rare, I'll use both the D500 and 1.4x for 1050mm equivalent focal length!
Have you ever considered using an extender with the 400mm f/2.8 instead of the 600 to save weight when traveling? Does it reduce the sharpeness much as compared to the 600 f/4?
oh yeah, the two images aren’t even comparable unfortunately.. I like where your head is though! haha
I have buyed the Gitzo adventury 45l a few months ago. And what should i say... Love it. My Nikon d850+500f4 + z6 ,20 1.8 and the 24-70f4s fits in perfect. The F-Stop Backpack look very comfortable too✌🏻 i have to try this out in the Future 😊. Greets from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪📸
You said you sucked at wide angle photography, I can’t imagine that you suck at any photography. Your images are spectacular! I don’t want to sound like a stalker, but you are my favorite wildlife photographer, bar none.
I personally, have used the f-stop Tilopa bag and ICU’s for years. But lately I have been considering an Osprey bag. You may have just made up my mind for me. lol Thanks for sharing!!
Jk just playing fam love the channel very cool had no idea you even had one
A book for you..... What Bears Teach Us by Sarah Elmeligi. Good video, thanks.
Thanks Guy! i’ll definitely check it out!
I wanted a bag that could hold my 600 with hood on so turned to an osprey bag. I do have to add some kind of padding for it.
Thanks for the video. I don't have a good bag i trust to load up for long hikes. Still went out and froze between Paxson and Tok but got a few good shots so made worth the struggle
Such a gorgeous landscape down there! i’m sure you killed it!
That was good, thank you Cameron. Seems to me your exposure was waffling around 17 minutes. Strange effect.
It definitely was! Good catch! haha
I know for cold cameras and lenses . I leave in bag also but leave in garage for about one hour. Then bring in utility room to adjust one more hour. By then I already taken card out and played with pictures. An I love how ou slap reality on up grades or brands of gear. Lol. An yes would love to see more edits of eagles and birds. I live in Missouri so no moose here .
Algorithm got me too. Just watched 4 and I’m subscribed now. I would love to come see you and check put some bears and eagles. Let me know when life is normal for you and I’ll book a flight.
Great input Camreon and nice to see you're an Apache pilot! didn't know that.
You mentionned your Nikon Z6 at some point in the video. I'm curious to see how and when do you use it. Are you doing wildlife with it? Only landscape? Or video only?
what's your take a Z6 like bodies for wildlife? Thx!
Actually, you pretty spot on. Only question I would have is, what will you do if PCS or is this last stint?
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Very inspiring! Keep up the good work man!
My solution will be the mystery ranch terraframe 50! I know it’s late but you should check it out .
will do man!
When you coming back to RUclips bro...?
I would have recommended the Shimoda 70L action back pack, which can carry the Shimoda large ICU.
What insert do you recommend for a 400mm f2.8?
I have always stopped in at my REI just down the street and thought, I need to convert one of these serious packs into a camera pack. I didn’t even realize there were inserts.
i’d recommend the XL, check out their website thought, man. they break it down by size in really good detail🤙🏻
Hi Cameron , great work but if your interested in sled dog photography you should hit up Jeff Schultz the official Iditarod photographer . I have my own small team of huskies over here in NE Scotland and love taking pics of our adventures along with local wildlife . The Wild and Exposed pod casts are great and as you have i have learned a lot from them .
It's been 3 years. I hope he didn't unexpectedly pass away. Hopefully he just decided to quit RUclips.
good Job
The link to your website is broken, found it on my own just thought id give a heads up.
What size are the pictures in the background?
Hey bro, how you been? You doing ok?
you still alive ?????
I really enjoy your information, your expertise, and your sharing of experiences... but... I want to take a Valium while watching your videos! Slow down! Speak a little slower... be a bit more calm. You have the experience and confidence, so let it show through in a more relaxed manner... please! Otherwise, I need to visit my pharmacist! :)
OMG I'm your biggest fan I feel like we belong together I will find you
Combat heli pilot and not (tech)smart enough? Am i missing something here or it's just bs? :)
Shoot with an iPhone huh 🤔🤣
