Camera Trap Fail in the Mara North
zhlédnutí 846Před rokem
This video shows my thought process and setting up of my DSLR camera trap in the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya. It was deployed in a number of different locations during my month long stint in the country, due to one very pesky animal.....The Vervet Monkey! The Mara North Conservancy is one of my favourite places for photography, period! For camera trap photography it also has so much to offe...
Canon Telephoto Lenses - Focus Preset
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed rokem
Lance goes through how he uses the focus preset on a canon super telephoto lens to get the best out of his hide photography sessions. This simple, but underused tool, greatly decreases the amount of times the camera misses focus due to the large distance between the small subject and the far away background, meaning his keeping rate is significantly higher. Lance uses this technique not only in...

Amazing video, I really enjoyed 😊
Finally someone explained how works focus presets. Thank you very much, realy appreciated.
Lol. Superlong lense???? Buahahaha. A 600mm F4 isxa superlong lense!! The 400 ain't!
Awesome so lovely video. Will definetly visit and plan the trip accordingly.
What stunningly beautiful images. A feast for the eyes! 😮❤
Awesome 🤩, though I now have a serious case of post safari blues. This was such a fantastic trip, can’t recommend it enough.
Stunning photographs!
Amazing video. We were there as well. But the sightings you showed were ❤
Awesome video. So many great sightings 😊
No elephants? Its called Elephant plains?
I am renting a lens with this function and I needed to know this information. Thank you for this information!
Can't wait.
l love ikan perana
I really enjoyed your video!
Awesome video and recap of your safari Lance! Yes EP is definitely amazing value for money with unbelievable sightings I did a 3 night/4 day safari there in November last year and it was nothing short of spectacular Leopard wise we saw 8 different individuals (Tiyani, her blue eyed cub that was killed about 3 weeks later, Xidulu, Nhenhe, Tlalamba, Xitsalala, Tortoise Pan, Laluka) with 11 Leopard sightings in total! Good lion sightings as well with walk bys after dark of the Nkuhumas and the Talamati breakaways. And one sighting of one of the Black Dam males I compared the spot pattern etc of that male leopard that you guys saw on your afternoon drive on day 4 to my footage of the Xitsalala male and it does indeed look like it was him that you saw. He likes the Buffelshoek area.
Awesome, thank you so much! We didn't see Xitsalala long enough to get a good look, and he's a new leopard for me :D
I've never done a South Africa safari, but as a photographer I think I would go insane from hearing that I have to wait in a queue at a sighting or that an animal moved into a neighboring property and we couldn't follow.
Luckily they have their radios in their ears so you would never know :D It goes both ways though... as a photographic guide its our job to manage the "queues" and get in at the right time for the best activity. The properties are large, so its only really the dogs that are constantly in or out. Beats being in a sighting with 85 vehicles behind the animals :D
behind 85 vehicles… do you mean like in East Africa?
AMAZING 😻 ❤
Fantastic images and video. Maybe just something small, the video shows a high percentages of you talking. It just felt to long and I eventualy scrolled to the images and videos. Still I enjoyed the information and the video. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind 😎
@@PantheraPhotoSafaris I actually liked the talking and explaning everything. Probably cause I've been to Sabi Sands a few times, so I'm familiar with the different properties and individual leopards and lion prides. And also because I'm inquisitive and like to know EVERYTHING 😊
@@jackieboshoff2013 Thanks Jackie. I will try and find a better balance of talking and images / video :D Its difficult to do a trip report without talking too much haha.
@PantheraPhotoSafaris I liked the balance of talking vs videos and images
@@jackieboshoff2013 Awesome, thanks :D
What an amazing safari, leopard sightings galore. Tiyani, Xidulu, Nhenhe and more What a buzz and those Plains Camp males are so strong and healthy looking. Poor lioness. Really enjoyed this vid, thank you.
Thank you so much. We had a great time! Those boys are HUGE!
My heart almost stopped when I saw how close Nhenhe was to those lions. Glad he was ok. You got some beautiful shots, sounds like it was a brilliant trip!
Thank you so much. We were very surprised he decided to climb a tree and watch them rather than running away! Maybe not such a smart move haha
Superb video Lance you really got some winner shots this trip 👍👍
Thank you so much! Such a great location
It was an amazing experience, one that we will never forget. It was so good that we are going back next year! Thank you Lance! And a great recap of the trip! I suspect it will be about 6 months till I get the chance to edit my videos 😂
It was so great having you guys! Sorry we couldn't show you more leopards 😝
Difficult to beat Elephant Plains in terms of price - quality of sightings! Amazing!
For price, nothing beats it!
Looks like you had an aaaamazing safari! 😃
We had an absolute blast! Thanks for watching
Wonderful update. Definitely a lodge I’m keen on On what other properties can elephant plains traverse on?
Thanks so much for watching! It's an absolute must. They can traverse on Silvan, Arathusa, Djuma, Simbabili and Buffelshoek
😮😮😮
So good! 👍
me eating breakfast and watching the security camera making sure he doesn't steal my phone
Hah!
Yes i did know
Well done!
Also dogs and cats
No
Leopards are cats 😉
Great...execuse me, this lent is a canon EF 300 2.8? Thanks
Hello there. This is an RF 400 f2.8
Breathtaking shots!
Many thanks!
Absolutely amazing safari! I want to go again ❤
That lion looking through the leaves… 🤤🤤🤤
Hehe Right?!
Beautiful shots 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Now that's a hide.
Glad you like it :D
Poor Rosie o'Donnell, rest in pieces you vile hag !
Super pro work Thanks for sharing 🌷🙏🏼
Thank you too
Really useful. I'm heading to a hide in the UK to photograph Kingfishers next week and this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't use my 500mm f4 to anywhere near its full potential. Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
Hahajaajajajajajajj 😂😂😂😂
That is some beautiful bird watching place! Thanks for explanation...first day of using 200-400mm f4 and was not really sure what this means. Instead of googling I knew someone on CZcams would explain it perfectly. Just wondering, are you using back button focus? Thanks again! God bless you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I use back button focus! On my canon mirrorless bodies I actually use 3 back buttons simultaneously!
How many times a year do you do trips to Inyati
Hi there! Sorry I missed this somehow. We dont run any scheduled trips there at this stage, but we can organise private safaris like the one in this video any time as long as there is space :)
This is so good 👍
Thank you!
Awesome to see ❤
:D
Very informative and some great results!
Thank you so much!
Great lions pictures thé biggest male is the legendary nenha one and the last survivor of the legendary coalition called birmngham boys and the young male is the son of nenha
Thank you very much 😁
Hermoso ❤
Thanks for explaining the feature! But is it suppose to save the last setting ? Or do you need to set it again every session?
Hello. If your camera turns off it will unfortunately reset....but if it just sleeps it will remember it (at least in my cameras, it may differ with other brands).
@@PantheraPhotoSafaris Thanks so much! I was so worried that my lens was faulty!
I wish they would update the firmware on the series II lenses to have the dual presets. That would be killer on my 500 f/4 II. Especially since they never made a series III version of that one. I guess I'll have to save up for the RF600 at this point... perhaps 8 years from now... LOL
It sure would! It's very sad when simple things like this aren't considered. RF600 would be a dream!
I thought the squirrels here in the UK were a pest for interfering with my camera trap, but those monkeys are on another level.😲 Thanks for taking us along Lance. You got some great images. 👍
Haha thanks so much! One day they even sat there alarm calling at me as well....great for not attracting yourself to african wildlife 🤣🤣
