Collaring Kito, The Marsh Pride lion
After spending 5 hours trying to find the lions, we finally did. It was a surreal day, I have spent many hours around Kito, but I had never been that close.
This is all in the name of Conservation. The Marsh Prides territory is shrinking. Human wildlife conflict cases have become more frequent in recent times. By having a collar within the pride you are able to track their movements, warning people of their presence before anything bad happens.
Big thanks to the Mara Predator Conservation Program for allowing me to be apart of this special moment.

Lion Tracking - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY ON SAFARI
Переглядів 1,1 тис.10 місяців тому
In this video I track down lions, but in a different way. I am in Northern Kenya on Mugie Conservancy looking for lions with radio collars. By tracking lions with collars you pick up on their signal and follow the beeps. It was a very fun and novel way to find Lions.

A Morning With Giants - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY ON SAFARI
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I had an incredible morning with some of the largest animals on the planet. I like to tell people when on safari to look for the smaller things, but sometimes you can't help but photograph the giants. Lions, Elephants and Giraffes are some of the animals I spend time with in the video. I also use all of my lenses and explain why
Camping with Grizzly Bears - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY VLOG
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
I spent 3 days camping in the Canadian Wilderness hoping to photograph a grizzly bear fishing for salmon. It took me a long time one but I finally did, and it was amazing. I saw so many other wonderful sights from Salmon jumping up waterfalls, to Bald Eagles looking for a meal. Making this video was a lot of fun and I hope to make more like this later in the year.
SUPER RARE white Orca - WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Переглядів 1,8 тис.2 роки тому
Time for something completely different. I am now in British Columbia, Canada. I am working as a Grizzly Bear and Whale guide for a small lodge called Sailcone. In this video I film our day whale watching. To my shock I see something I never imagined, a melanistic or white Orca calf.

Plans don't always work out - Zebra and Eland -WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY ON SAFARI

Not every plan in wildlife photography works out. In this video I use various focal lengths to create diversity in a collection of images from the same subject. I had an idea for a photo but the light never happened. I have a lovely sighting with an unlikely subject.

    Great video, thank you for this feedback. I'm going on safari in Kenya soon and I have the choice to take my 24 70 and a 70 200 OR 200 400? I am very hesitant if you could advise me so as not to regret this trip THANKS

    Hi I am new to this channel thanks for the tips I am a nikon shooter currently my longest lens is the nikonz 100-400 I also have a 70-200 do you think this is good enough for safari or should I pick up the nikonz 180-600mm and combine it with the 70-200 as a kit with my z9 and z8 thanks we are heading to the Serengeti September. 2025

    "Does this collar make my butt look big"? Great video. I photographed 15 Grizzlies last month in Yellowstone. 3 of them were wearing collars. I would be very interested in a video showing how the collars on wildlife has proven themselves to be invaluable to their conservation.

    Hi, Felix. superb videos and narration, excellent images shown at the conclusion of the video, on a technical note You use mainly one shot mode, I assume as you are photographing static subjects that is enough.most other wildlife photographers use multi speed exposure, I would appreciate your comments

    Wonderful videos, Felix! Your photos literally took my breath away. As I prepare to go back on safari I am interested to learn more about how you shoot out of the vehicle. When you are hanging over the side do you use the back screen turned up towards you? I always shoot with the EVF but am not sure how you manage to hang vertically and shoot horizontally ;-) I recently purchased a radio wireless remote after I read about someone who uses a monopod hanging out of the vehicle. I can't wait to go back and "hangout" (literally!) with the incredible wildlife in the Masai Mara!

    Another great video. I got back from Kenya last week and being a very, very amateur photographer was keen to learn as much as possible before going. I watched pretty much all of your videos and learnt loads so thanks very much. Even more envious of your job now than before I went. Incredible place. Will be watching them as they keep coming to relive the experience. Thanks!
