Balancing Family Fun with Wildlife Photography

It can be difficult when you are a slightly obsessed wildlife photographer who decides to take a family break on the Isle of Skye. A stunning location with numerous wildlife photography opportunities. In previous years I have definitely pushed the limits and often came home feeling way more drained that before the holiday. Can I get the balance right this time? Watch the video to find out.

You nailed those landscape shots. Beautiful.

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Thanks Bob, I am really over due a good landscape video. To be honest its difficult to fail on Skye!!!👌👍

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Nice shots Scott. That area looked beautiful to photograph for landscape too. Thanks for the video 👍🙏

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Thanks Adrian, always great to spend time on Skye. Feel refreshed and ready for more photography adventures. Have a great weekend mate👍👍

[@withvinayak]

Amazing pictures! Great job 👏🏻

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Thanks, always fantastic to visit Skye 👍

[@leehanley71]

Really enjoyed the video Scott, looks magnificent Skye 😎 Did you find out what came for the biscuit? Lovely images too Mate, love the landscape ones 👍🏽 Looking forward to seeing what camera you get and if it's a system change 🤔 See you on the next one 📸

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Cheers Lee, no news on the biscuit thief! Skye is fantastic and we may be moving up there within the next few years so I will be spoilt for choice! All I will say on the camera change is that I am currently camera and lens-less at the minute!! All the best mate👍👌

[@leehanley71]

Cheers Scott, moving to Skye will be full of opportunities 📸 looking forward to the new camera system 👍🏽

[@brianchandler1365]

Om-ii with the 300 f4 pro and teleconverters would be a great start until you can afford the 150 -400 at around £6000. Very light combo, great results. Thanks for sharing your hints and tips

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Totally agree! I have been tempted to go in that direction. New set up has arrived and video on the way!! Thanks for watching👍👌

[@Alexios-tf5yx]

New kit? New system? Micro 4/3?
Im a sony shooter too but thinking of switching to OM system to get closer to the subjects hand held.

[@scotttilleyphotography]

Interesting! Looks like we have been contemplating some of the same issues! If only the Olympus 150-400 wasn't so expensive!! Thanks for watching!👍👌
