Yes, the whole wildlife photography scene is completely different now!
A few years ago the Wildlife Photographer otY had a retrospective of images...

[drmarkf]

Excellent!
Yes, we’ve also been to a couple of comedy gigs and other events.

[drmarkf]

I used to take a tiny laptop and at the end of each day download my cards to 2 Samsung 2Tb SSDs. This worked OK, but downloading takes quite a while (presumably...

[drmarkf]

Actually the biggest dilemma is how to afford that next trip!

In fact, by booking our trip (via a zero exchange rate credit card, of course)...

[drmarkf]

I always go to the WPOTY with my daughter, too!
This is usually part of her birthday or Xmas present to me, and we usually go in the New Year and...

[drmarkf]

I quite often do event photography of one sort or another (the next one I’m planning is the Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge), but my usual style...

[drmarkf]

Yes, I always give these a week or two. I’m not planning any significant use of the OM-1 in that time anyway.

[drmarkf]

Many thanks, folks.

[drmarkf]

Thank you.
Yes, both purposes: finding the cheetah coalition in the 95,000 hectares would be almost impossible otherwise (although our vehicle was...

[drmarkf]

Yes, I’m well aware both high key images and use of monochrome are quite marmite in wildlife photography 👍
Still, I’m not aiming for straight...

[drmarkf]

In July/August this year I had a wonderful 3-week trip to South Africa, the last week of which was on my own with the Wild-Eye South African photographic...

[drmarkf]

Yes, that's right, but David has been asking for years (well before the pandemic, any way) and a lot of those 'next cameras' have been produced, but Oly/OMS...

[drmarkf]

Yes, that's great Larry.

I use the same processing route as your good self, and with the OM-1i I normally draw the line at 6400 if possible,...

[drmarkf]

Of course some pro wildlife photographers do, as do a lot of extremely good amateur wildlife photographers (including some that, for example, are on the...

[drmarkf]

Bril, thanks.
Excellent work (and excellent lens!).

[drmarkf]

Yes! I seem to make more silly white balance and colour-editing errors when I'm tired.

I've learned always to check any work I've done late...

[drmarkf]

Yes, I use Capture One rather than Lr and I'm mainly doing wildlife photography, but these issues are similar.

However, I'm finding CO's...

[drmarkf]

Very enjoyable.

I don't know what old Woodie had been up to, but I hope he'd enjoyed doing it!

[drmarkf]

Lovely.

Please can you let us know roughly what crop you've applied and what focal length, aperture and ISO were used?
It must be said,...
