Very interesting to see the thought process behind a professional photographer! It feels like a lot to take in at the moment (I mostly freeze in stressy situations with wildlife and forget to even check my settings), do you have any tips to start feeling more comfortable and being able to think clearly in these scenarios? Also have just started listening to your and Craig’s podcast, and I’m hooked! Absolutely love it!!

You are getting great videos with professional editing, images and narrations. May I suggest to reduce the noise of the shutter since it distracts from the quality of the whole production.

Fabulous review. Glad I found your channel.

thank you <3

Way too much useless filler. Stuck vehicles, hotel rooms, who cares? I came here for camera information. Get to that!

What lens combination would you choose for Maasai Mara & India (Tigers) - 1) Sony 300mm f2.8 + 100-400mm + 2x TC (for the prime) or, 2)Sony 300mm f2.8 + 70-200 f2.8 + 2x Tc (for use with both lenses) or, 3)Sony 300mm f2.8 + Sony 200-600mm

Absolutely love how this video brings the safari experience to life! The leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas are captured so naturally-it’s a treat to watch. Seeing wildlife in their element is always so inspiring. I’ve been working on some wildlife-focused videos too, and this has definitely given me new ideas.

Wow, this safari video is incredible! Leopards, wild dogs, and hyenas are such fascinating animals to capture on camera. The shots of their natural behavior are so well done-really inspiring for anyone passionate about wildlife photography! If you’re interested in exploring more wildlife content, I’ve recently started sharing videos on similar topics on my channel. Feel free to check it out if you’d like-would love to connect with more wildlife enthusiasts! 🐾📸

How do you guys sit in that jeep with no protection?

We spent days on the Chobe with Pangolin in 2023. An amazing place and great folks.

Well done! I'm a photographer myself and was wondering how do you go about getting into these work shops? Colin,

Great footage ! Greetings

Beautiful setting and amazing animals! The leopards courting was so moving and powerful!

Awesome!

That 300 is really fabulous! Gorgeous picts Karolina!

Like the American rrrrr's

… great content, great camera. subscripted! 👍

All very nice, great photos. How do you use the camera, with priority setting? And auto ISO? You are fantastic

😍❤️ stunning, amazing and beautiful. As always 😊😊😊

People just like to complain got my a1ii yesterday and the AI and pre-cap alone are a solid reason to upgrade. The body, lcd, ibis too and then my guess about 50 smaller updates. Did i have to pay yes, did it sting a little yes but after 4 years using the a1 i am looking forward to 4 years with the a1ii.

cant wait to get it thank for the awesome pics ...

I could burst with envy. The camera, the lens, the pictures, the places.... ;-)

Beautiful video and photos … we got India booked with you 2026 🎉… can’t wait !!!😎

No internal raw in 2024 for $6500, no thanks 😢

NO internal raw codecs in 2024 is so disappointing and to charge $6.5K for it, is an absolute crime.

Since you are using a prime do you crop a lot?

It really excites me that you seem to really enjoy the A1ii with the 300+1.4tc. Because I invested in the 300+1.4tc and I have the A1 which I’m really pumped to take on safari! Do you feel when you have the 300 that you need to be wider often? Or does the 300 pretty handle most situations?

Great video and wonderful pictures.

Fantastic video Karolina, some lovely sightings and what a hide that is...better than some motel rooms !!! Safe travels !!! 🤠😎

As good as cameras are these days, no one touches Sony’s AF for sharpness when the distances get farther off & in low light. Great to see them giving their customers what they ask for with the ergonomics, Focus Stacking (I would use that). So how many fps shooting full raw & buffer with the A7R5?

Fantastic, can't wait for the A1 II as well and take it on your tour in July.

Woow! Mega schöne Bilder ❤❤❤🎉

Wonderful pictures. Whilst the Sony gave beautiful results, any camera would do well with those kinds of sightings. Kings Camp is just so good 👌❤

Amazing couple of days you had there, “magnificent seven” as well! Love the look of that new hide too. I’ll be in KNP and Sabi Sand from Monday, can’t wait!

Awesome! Very nice video - Kings Camp looks a great location. I must add to my list to visit. For the A1ii I can't wait for mine to arrive, hope it will be before January when I go to India 🤞 What you were shooting with the A1ii and 300 GM really is the dream team of photo gear for wildlife photography.

Lovely vlog! Amazing how green it is! I think you need to check your mic settings as it looses detail at the loudest noises.

Stunning images and video, love the setup. I have the A7RV and the 300 2.8, love them. My A1ii is on order, hopefully arrive just before Xmas.

Awesome 👍

fantastic video, absolute amazing and wonderful 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Beautiful images 😊

My A1II is hopefully coming next week :-)

hi karolina really like your videos. i have a question. how many kg is your bag and gears? and how do you lug it to everywhere? thank yoou

hi karoline good to see u here

For vlogging, go and get a DJI Pocket 3, they are really rather good for this type of use, been loving mine!

I have the 200-600, it’s an amazing lens, and a ‘no brainer’ for anyone on the Sony system requiring a long lens for the money. When I bought mine (in a double sale), I was not that excited by it. In my head, I desired the 400/2.8 as being the ‘optimal’ long lens, the longest 2.8 you can get, and if you needed longer, put a converter on it. I just could not bring myself to spending that kind of money on a lens (the 300/2.8 was not out or rumoured). My 200-600 sat unopened for several weeks, it was a ‘head’ purchase, not a ‘heart’ purchase. Then I started using it. Very quickly, the more I used it, the more I started to appreciate it, to the point where, for me, I think it is probably a better lens for my usage than the 400/2.8 would have been. Crazy thought I know. Two things make me feel this, one is the weight. If I had both lenses, I know that I’d pick the 200-600 a lot purely on weight grounds. Secondly, Locating your subject at 200, then quickly zooming in to 600mm is a lot easier for the less experienced long lens shooter. So, while theoretically, the 400/2.8 looks like the optimal option to me, the pragmatic side appreciates the 200-600. Now the 300/2.8 is available, I’ve been struggling with that dilemma. It has a weight & size advantage to the 200-600, with converters covers a similar range (300, 420, 600) all at faster f-stops. It’s very, very tempting. However, on the flip side, at 600mm the 300+2x is only a third of a stop faster. Even at 300mm where the prime has a 2 stop advantage (the 200-600 switches from f5.6 to f6.3 around 300mm), as you observed, with hi iso plus post noise reduction as good as both are now, it somewhat mitigates the need for a faster lens, so it then comes down to bokeh & subject isolation as the key advantage. I’ve seen shots from both and the 300/2.8 is superior for sure, but the ‘cost’ is then having to faff about juggling converters when you need more reach, potentially missing shots, potentially letting dust & dirt get onto your sensor vs the convenience of the 200-600. The 200-600 seemed to hold up pretty well in the sharpness too, maybe not quite up to the 300, but not that far behind either. I’ve also seen others who have done a back to back comment that they didn’t feel there was a huge AF performance difference either. Would like to hear more of your thoughts specifically on the 200-600 vs 300/2.8 plusconverters…..do you think you will change? The heart is still pulling me toward the 300/2.8 though, but it’s not a totally clear cut thing for me. I switched from Canon to Sony at the end of 2017, getting the A7R3, after 3 decades on the Eos system. I picked up an A7S3 for low light use a few years back (I used to do a lot of astro imaging, with telescopes & motorised/computer controlled EQ mounts), then this year, added an A93 primarily due to the pre capture, but also the various handling improvements. If the A7R6 gets pre capture, I may well be tempted with it….if I’ve not picked up an A1 ii by then!

The owl shot, 135mm @f3.5 - I dare say the 70-200 2.8 @3.5 would have got you an almost identical shot…..& you’d have had the flexibility to crop in/out as required. I can only see the 135 being an advantage when you are shooting wider than 2.8….but then you run into the too shallow DoF as you also observed. Personally, I’d favour the versatility / flexibility of the 70-200 2.8.

For me Masai Mara 400mm f2,8 is the sweet spot 🤌🏾

Nature is a beautiful art of God’s creation! Thank you for sharing with us who might not be able to travel and experience the exotic wilderness ❤ ❤️❤️
