    I absolutely love your enthusiasm, it is all about the anticipation. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win “wildlife photographer of the year”…. It’s all about being in the moment and most of all, enjoying yourself. Your infectious attitude is inspiring.

    I loved your insight into your frustration with how the shots just didn't happen for you this trip. When I started to do wildlife photography, I quickly learned that sometimes I needed to be open to what nature presented to me vs. what I wanted nature to present to me. When I made that switch, it transformed how I think about nature and wildlife photography. Dare I say, it transformed it from photography to an act of prayer. I absolutely LOVED your seal footage! Excellent music choice to pair with the sleepy seal!

      Thank you! And yes, i think it’s always good to be honest and open. At the end of day, it’s nature and it does what it does which is beautiful and because of that it doesn’t always work which is ok. I loved what you said about your mindset on photography and nature, it is so true and the best way to go about it. The transformation from photography to an act or prayer is really beautiful and keep hold of that because it is so true. Thank you, the sleepy seal is proof that sometimes you get these special moments and other times you should just sit and enjoy it. Thank you again ☺️🙏🏻

    The boat trip out has now been added to my list, I spend a week or so up that way every couple of years. The coastline with miles and miles of quiet almost deserted beaches is so good for the soul.

    • @wildandfreevictoria

    Dear Victoria,
    as I am in the process of buying the Fuji 150-600mm lens, I came across your UA-cam channel. Regardless of the content you present professionally, I like your refreshing manner. There are so many boring reviews where you have trouble not falling asleep. I love your style, which comes across as refreshing and authentic. ...and on top of that, you are presented with such wonderful photographs.

    I did not know that Puffins could fly so fast. I was just grateful that I was able to get a few in my viewfinder as they zoomed past.
    Erik still rock's on camera.

    Victoria, you are quite a good cinematographer and overall story teller, I always look forward to watching your youtube videos. I currently shoot with another camera brand, but your videos have me considering picking up a fuji system. I think Fujifilm would be wise to pick you up as an ambassador for their brand, because you represent their camera systems so well. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations on the filming. Is it hot in the Farne Islands? Judging by your slightly light clothing... A question: why don't you bring the monopod that makes you easier and more stable the 150-600 instead of using it freehand? But isn't there a hotel on those islands that frees you from the constraint of 1 hour of stay? Sorry for my bad English.

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  7 місяців тому +1

      Thank you very much and you have good English! It isn’t always hot but as it is now spring the weather is getting nicer and that was a particularly how day - plus i am a very warm person! I do have a gimbal head mount (which I took on my last trip) but I didn’t take it this time as there wasn’t enough room in my bag (which was already heavy) and the actual use of it on the island is a bit tricky especially with limited time - if you were there you would understand what I means, it’s hard to explain but I took my tripod anyway and used that. The island is a nature reserve so no one can stay on it, apart from rangers looking after the birds. I hope this helps!

    It's funny I thought of you and then I saw this video after I saw the culprit woodpecker that took down a huge tree in my backyard cut it literally in half. It was a pileated woodpecker he was beautiful and huge almost 2 ft tall. He flew right next to my garage like 10 ft for me but I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to take a picture.

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  7 місяців тому

      Aw this is lovely! I am sorry you couldn’t get a picture of the woodpecker but it sounded like a whole fun ordeal! - maybe not for the tree though 😄

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  6 місяців тому

      It is definitely an upgrade for clarity and filming but not so much for aperture and compatibility, overall a great lens though
