Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@FilmingTheWild I am going to subscribe! ✊🙏❤️

@@FilmingTheWild You should visit Scandinavia if you haven’t already… 🙏

Thank you @@stephenconroy9283 :)

I love the ending with just their sounds. That was impactful.

Thank you Jamie! I’m glad you enjoyed this episode!

Thanks! I really appreciate that Jamie!

Plenty of space in that tent!

That would have been an incredible experience! Was it in Arizona as well?

@@FilmingTheWild Yes, on Escudilla Mountain.

@@ourfamilytravels7083 awesome! Love it up there! Escudilla is one of my favorite places there.

Thanks for the comment and questions! I was able to test out this lens back when it was first released, however I still have the older version as I'm saving up to get this upgrade. The lens unfortunately is not parfocal, though it is close, and often times does actually seem to hold focus rather well. With regards to focus breathing, it did perform pretty well from my recollection, though I didn't test it directly with the compensation that Sony has.

@@FilmingTheWild thanks a lot for your input! Was the focus ring on the old one funky as the new one ? Did you have a chance to compare it to any other telephoto lenses when filming with Red or Sony cameras ?

@@happy1wandering the older version has a linear focus with actual focus marks (which is great for repeatable moves) as compared too the non-linear version of the new lens which I found sometimes was problematic but that could be due to just getting used to it. I was only able to test it on the Sony A7S3, but the autofocus was superb, and rivals the Sony 200-600mm.

@@FilmingTheWild great point! Are both lenses equally sharp at 600 mm ?

@@happy1wandering I found that the newer one was sharper, especially at 400ish-600mm.

Good to hear from you Carl! Thanks for the lovely comment. Feel free to reach out to me here if you'd like: alan@reelearthfilms.org I'd be happy to connect! I absolutely love the White Mountains.

The white mountains are incredible. One of my most favorite places on earth for that reason. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

I appreciate your comment Josh! I spend a lot of time in the white mountains also, since before the wolves were reintroduced as well. What I’ve noticed, is that the elk have disappeared. But, the numbers are actually increasing year to year. Bringing back a predator that courses the landscape hunting prey introduces something we call the ecology of fear in prey. This is why elk are harder to find now - they are behaving more naturally, and staying away from danger including us. The numbers of elk and deer are increasing per game unit population surveys. So if anything we need more hunters or more wolves. The elk have actually decimated the vegetation in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. The lack of low vegetation and forest floor vegetation is astounding compared to other forests of similar ecotypes that do have healthy ecosystems with yet full array of native species.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

@@FilmingTheWild you dont get what you deserved

The best camera and lens for outdoor wildlife photography and video is honestly the camera and lens you own - which may well be your iphone or android. But... if you are looking to buy a camera and lens, Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fuji all make great cameras and lenses, so you can't go wrong. I prefer Sony cameras, and for wildlife if you can get to at least 300mm or longer (sigma also makes great lenses like the 60-600mm for wildlife), you'll have better zoom and more options as a photographer/videographer. A good combo would be something like a Sony A7S III and Sony 200-600mm for video, but if you are looking for photography, I'd check out the Sony A9 or A7R4.

Yea some people are just terrible.

I usually find tracks, sometimes I hear them, rarely do I see them. Which makes it even more adventurous. Glad you get those experiences too!

I saw that earlier this year. So sad. But I’m glad the adults are staying in the area.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video Jason! It was such an incredibly lucky experience. The wolves are constantly moving across the landscape to new areas. Send me a message on Instagram if you’d like. @alanp_lacy

Yea, ranchers pay roughly $3/head per month on public lands here in Arizona, which is historically the lowest fees in the country for pubic land leases for grazing (most states are 4-5x higher than that). For example, in Montana or other states, it's closer to $13 per head a month. Granted private land leases are much higher, but most of the land leases are on public lands here in Arizona. And once the cattle are moved up to their grazing allotments for their 3-4 month stay, they have free range within that allotment, unless they get moved to another allotment per their range rotation agreement with the Forest Service.

I was incredibly impressed with its capabilities honestly! It is incredibly sharp! Glad you are enjoying using it!

Congrats!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you @mrnalan88! Spending time with orca was pretty incredible. And yes, handheld videography on a small boat is definitely nearly impossible. We had to shoot at 120fps to help us stabilize a bit better, while also doing everything we can to keep the image level! Good luck out there as you get into documentary work!

Thank you Dave! It was a fun project! Hope you’re well also!

@@FilmingTheWild Keeping well thank you. Just bad weather in the UK ☔️ at present: 👍🇬🇧

Thank you Yash! I truly appreciate your support and dedication as well. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

You never know!! I always keep my eyes peeled!

There all around that area. And the wolf's too. I've lived in the area for 40 years. Seen and heard alot of things I can't explain. 😮

Not in AZ bro I’m constantly out in apache sitgreaves and I’ve seen and herd nothing. But I have seen the NM grey wolf and I was shocked.

@sneekydee5446 that's what I thought too until 1994 when my nephew saw two of them watching me fish on the north fork of the White River. I've had alot of things happen in the last 40 years . Just because you don't see them doesn't mean there not there.

Thank you for the true uncut and authentic review! I truly appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the turnaround and that my passion for making a difference for nature rose to the top! Glad to have you join the adventure!

I appreciate the comment nonetheless! Thank you for watching! 🙏

That would have been an awesome experience! Great eyes!

I would beg to differ actually. The depredation rates are roughly the same across wolves in the greater Yellowstone ecoregion of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho etc. It's pretty comparable to Arizona/New Mexico, which has had a slightly higher depredation rate than other areas. Colorado has actually taken steps to address depredations by creating one of the best compensation plans in the country where ranchers will likely not feel the affects of wolves like they have elsewhere, at least financially if they are smart enough to apply for reimbursement.

@@FilmingTheWild if only that reimbursement would work across state lines. I think it’s gonna get much worse before people take action.

@@firstinlastout8324 I believe Colorado is setting the example of how states should work to reimburse ranchers in need of compensation. Even the people of Colorado have now raised over $300,000 in addition to other funds specifically to sort the ranching community. Other states should be watching this and implementing this. It’s incredible to see, and amazing for conservation efforts. Other states do in fact reimburse, but it often takes time for the reimbursement to get paid out.

Hey Linda! I love the area up by Flag! it's beautiful as well! Right now, there are a couple of wolves near flagstaff, north of I-40, but the US Fish and Wildlife Service along with AZ Game and Fish are working to capture them and move them elsewhere due to the 10j Rule which states they can't roam north of I-40.

@@FilmingTheWild thanks for that valuable info! Good to know! Love your content!!♥️

@@Linsuesaz thank you so much!

The pre-roll is handy, you get like 2.3 seconds or something like that of pre-roll at 60fps. So you've got to be ready for any action (I use a remote trigger from sony so I don't bump the camera hitting the record button).

Thank you Jianan, I'll check it out. I do use the canon mount still, but I have a basecamp VND that works great for me needs when I'm using my A7s III.

Of course! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and felt the presence of the wild!

Thank you Mike! I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure! Enjoy they others too!

Thanks David! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Wolves are such fascinating species! And yes! I've been to England recently and loved the weather! ha!

Thanks David!

That is the best nickname actually! Fitting! And thanks Gary, likewise! Looking forward to it!

Soon!! Looking forward to it! This was a fun experience too!

It definitely did, and it's in there too if you watch it! ;)

That would have been a remarkable sighting!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Hector! Looking forward to more videos from you!

I use the PolarPro Basecamp system, but I do have to modify it some in order to make it work. The actual matte box is about 104mm, so you have to undo a small screw so it can open further than 104mm, and then it’s a tight squeeze on to the front end of the lens.

This is awesome! I would love to see this!! Do you mind sharing it?

Love this!! Glad you got to enjoy the White Mountains here and here the wolves! It’s a remarkable place!

That is exactly what I was doing. :) I just sat in one area and they chose on their own volition to cross that meadow about a half mile away! :)

Thank you Jamie! Small world, I see you’ve worked with Jason Satterlund! Crazy!

Welcome to Arizona! Running through the desert is definitely not recommended! Ha! Learned the hard way as a kid!

Thanks Jamie! It was truly an amazing experience. I’m gonna try to find them again this summer! What are you working on these days?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It truly was an incredible moment that I will always cherish! Thanks for the comment!
