    Otro bonito vídeo, ¡como de costumbre! He tenido la fortuna de visitar tres veces el África oriental en la época de lluvia "o verde como tú la llamas", y como muy bien dices, es distinto a lo que solemos ver, pero incluso el paisaje, y los fondos de las fotografías son hermosos. Es cierto que también hay menos gente y coches agrupados en torno a los animales, pero que no se confunda nadie, hay que tener en cuenta que la climatología puede jugar una mala pasada en cuanto a poder moverte por la zona, y también la menor presencia de animales que se refugian del mal tiempo... Lo dicho, muchas felicidades por tu trabajo, ¡me encanta! Y Gracias por compartir. 😀

    Hi, I have three questions for you... Did you always take low-angle shots from the car, or were you able to get out of the car and shoot from a standing position? The second question is about using a tripod-did you ever feel the need to use one? And the third question concerns distance. Could you specify the closest distance you were able to approach, for example, lions or other animals? Thank you very much!

    • @RoxytheZoologist
      @RoxytheZoologist  Місяць тому +4

      On this trip we were always in the vehicle, so always shooting out the car. No, there’s no space for a tripod in this jeep. Distance depends on many things - the species, if they have young with them, the individual behaviour and how relaxed they are, if they are hunting or resting, there are many factors that come into play, it’s not a one rule for all. But in all instances, you park with enough space for them to continue with their behaviour as normal, and they can choose to come closer if they wish, but not the other way round

    I took only 2 a wide angle and cannon 70-200 and found that was good enough. I see it looked like you had a 600 or bigger? Was that used to film with as well or for stills?

      It really depends on your personal photographic style and the kind of shots you want as well as where exactly you are going / if you can off-road or not / the kind of sightings you get and the distance the animals come / what species you want to focus on. I always prefer to carry the weight than not have kit I would want to shoot with personally :)

    Ahinsa is a Sanskrit word that means "non-injury" or "compassion" and is a key principle in Indian religions, including Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. It is the practice of causing the least amount of harm to all living beings.
    Ahimsa is a central tenet of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy and is considered a powerful force for social change. It is also aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to create peaceful, just, and inclusive societies.
