    amateur photography for a few years and decided to start into wildlife photography so I have uprated my camera gear and purchased a high res camera and 2 new long lenes which was quite an investment, as a beginner in wildlife photography
    your videos given great inspiration and has pushed me to get out there and take pictures. as I reside in the northeast Scotland
    I will give the Loch Shiel cruise a go,

    very nice dan , off to mull in a couple of weeks to see the white tailed sea eagles and hopefully see an otter also as never managed to capture one , what size lens would be best to take on board the mull boat in your experience would a 500mm lens be to long, thanks

    • @danwillis_photography
      @danwillis_photography  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thanks very much.
      Onboard the Lady Jane photographing the WTSE I would say that the sweet spot is 300mm. I’ve used a 500mm which was great for tight portraits of the head or talons but to get the full bird in shot was too long. I use a 70-200mm but always feel it’s a little short.
      Hope that helps 👍🏻

      That’s a great question Jeffery, we actually rented a Motorhome due to the high cost of accommodation and stayed on a campsite in Acharacle which was really good value. Probably not the answer you were looking for sorry.
