Sharing my passion for nature and wildlife photography while encouraging you to find joy in this beautiful hobby. You can expect in the field adventures, photography talk, reviews, live streams, photos, and tips to help you along your own journey as a photographer.

Wildlife Photography doesn't have to be complicated
Wildlife photography is when our emotions and feelings unite with the heartbeat of nature. Today I want to share my thoughts on running away to that quiet place with your camera when there is so much noise that divides us. Nature and wildlife photography is more than capturing a photo. It's about capturing peace and joy in a chaotic world to bring hope and light in the darkness. I hope you enjoy today's photography adventure.

Nice video men ❤cheers from Spain 👋
@@Salvajejosh thank you
Hey men i just discover your channel to day and i love your style !! I already subscribe !! Can you put spanish subtitles for the next video ? ❤
I don’t see the arm thing that you stuck in the ground. I’m interested in purchasing one. Love you photos😊
The 10 year old Canon 7D MK 2 fitted with 100-400mm remains a potent wildlife camera. Weather sealed, dual CF & SD card slots, 160-640mm equivalent reach and damn near indestructible.
Thanks for the review. I just used the link to buy the deluxe (2seat) for hunting and photography. Looking forward to giving it a go.
Thanks for the tips 😊
I would like to see a review from a hunter who is armed with a rifle with a 24-26 “ barrel
Thanks for the messages! Best from Brazil.
Sorry everyone i forgot to link the items. I can't find the direct link, but it's the Wimberley pp-400 ground clamp and PhotoTrust 5 in 1 pocket reflector on Amazon.
What is the Amazon link for the adjustable light deflector or what' is it's proper name
'im sorry I must have forgotten. I can't find the direct link, but it's the Wimberley pp-400 ground clamp and PhotoTrust 5 in 1 pocket reflector on Amazon.
exllent composition !
Thanks for the spray bottle tip
It's literally is the gear and the operator. We really need folks to stop pretending otherwise. The World including most doing photographer would be better far off it they did. There is nothing Wrong with anyone wanting to use older GEAR and their equally nothing wrong with those that prefer the latest and greatest GEAR. So whatever it takes for that person to enjoy their hobbies.
100% facts
Great video. I think you hit on it a bit, life is about relationships. Our relationship with nature, with each other, and with our creator. Take care.
I find peace when I am out there with my gears no matter how long it takes before that Eagle or owl fly I am there waiting for it to fly.
Love the start of this video 🤙 I got into bird photography as an extension of my love of camping and being in the bush. Awesome work champ 👍
Kevin: Another great video, it is not the gear, it is the operator. Tuesday morning, I was out shooting the Aurora with a 10, 7 and a 1.5 year old cameras. My flagship was a spare. Sometimes the older gear works better than the newest stuff for sale at your camera store. Out of 700+ shots, I narrowed it down to 7 and sent them to Jeff for viewing on Saturday night. I say get out and shoot for the experience, if I get one good shot that is great, if I don't get a good shot, that is okay too. I treat photography as an experiment. sometimes, you succeed, sometimes you fail and you try again. I succeed more often, now. Keep up the great work. I enjoy watching your videos. See you Saturday night?
Thanks, brother. Hope you enjoyed your outing. I think every camera these days are fantastic. Yeah, I'll be in the chat. Someday, I'll make my way back on the panel.
Whem I`m stressed I take photos, that`s the best Therapy for me. The result is secondery.
💯 facts
Great video! My wildlife photography is what keeps me going. I'm so blessed to have the love and joy for this art that I do. And great youtube friends like you and a few others.
It's wonderful therapy.
Well said, and Well done Kevin!
Thank you
Another good one. How are you liking the R7 compared to your other camera?
It's holding up well. No issues. However, it lacks what hopefully the r7mk2 will be with a better buffer and a battery grip. I have no regrets backing out on the r5mk2 and getting the r7. I took the difference and took the family on vacation, and put away some for the r7mk2.
@@KevinNordstrom The MKII should be an awesome camera for you. Keep the video's coming.
Nature and wildlife photgraphy has been so healing and relaxing for me after dealing with much stress. So grateful I found my way back to this hobby 4 years ago. As a 15 yr old I made my own darkroom in a closet, borrowed an old machine from the 50/60s, got all the chemicals and developed my own film and photos. This was in the late 80's. Then with school, college and everything else I just drifted away from it. And now decades later it's giving me so much again. Love the channel - you seem like a great dude. Keep up the great work - cheers from Sweden.
It's the best therapy
Could 100% be my story.
this just popped up on my feed. Nicely done video.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you. The lovely shots and video clips gave a boost to my sad heart. We still have horribly high temps with no rain. My dogs don't even want to be out in this . Hope that you and your family are enjoying your time together.
Yeah i agree im eager for cooler temps and the fall!
You are awesome.
Thank you for the kind words, Claire
Awesome so lovely video.
✅✅✅
Retired, I typically go out each morning before sunrise, before dawn and that is the best time of day....even if I don't take one photo!
3:04 the lens hood isnt mounted properly
Yeah, it popped off because I didn't have it turned and locked right. User error lol. Thanks for watching.
That’s me every day
I can relate
It's ok, there wont be any animals to photograph soon anyways.
Have you considered spending your energy and capabilities on helping other's instead?
Come to the UK, it is July and rain is forecast for the whole month. Or go to Donana in Spain, an internationally important wetland, now dry because farmers have sucked out all the water, or Malaga province where a 3yr drought has all but eliminated the wildlife. Scotland is better if you are not eaten by midges. If you combine that with ill health, photography won't be the only thing you give up.
@blisteringbooks2428 Yeah, our health is everything
The problem is when you do something and try to make a living out of it , in contrast to doing it as an amateur, doing it for the love of it
100 perccent.
Out of joy and questioning your passion ? YEP been there often. Every time I get ready to quit and sell it all I'll find a place one 1 shot out of 1000 in my cards that reminds me why I do it.
Amen. Nature is medicine. I like being out in Nature and don’t like the processing side so much, as I sit in front of a computer for work. Recently I try to take less photos when I’m out. I look for the “ shot of the day”. If the birds aren’t out, I may turn to bees and butterflies. Even spiders and bugs. I try to find a way to take a great picture of a common subject when things are slow. You live in migration heaven! It must feel very slow there now!
@@Kellysher that's a great way to look at it
Kevin Kevin Kevin. I'm telling you, watching your videos is like sitting with a friend at the end of a day sharing our experiences. I just drove 1000 miles to the southeastern corner of Arizona to spend a week hanging out in nature photographing birds. Of all the birds I have seen so far I only have one picture I really like. I have never seen this type of bird before so very happy to get a photo. Two Black bellied whistling ducks standing together on a rock in the middle of a pond. The last type of bird I thought I would see in the desert in July. Anyway thanks for another great video. Joe
@@Straightline_racing wow thays awesome Joe! Crazy how things work out. I feel that way often because all I shoot are waterfowl and eagles, or common birds it seems as they are my local wildlife lol. But it's the joy of being in nature that makes sense to us. I'm glad m yvideo's can bring a little peace and joy in your home brother. Happy shooting 📷
Your timing is impeccable, thanks.
thank you
Your story to so relatable to many of us. Keep remembering the “why” and enjoy nature as much as you can. Thank you for another great video.
@LynneH-ej6rx thank you Lynne 📷
Right on brother. Keep up the good work man.
@@paulmitchellphoto Thank you
