Never managed to stay at Shingwedzi, when we travel in September they have the Baroque in Park music festival and all the rooms etc are block booked. What month did you go.

Very nice video Ken, and great explanations on how to use these many varied tools, that Adobe Photoshop techs seem to keep adding too many myriads, and plethoras, of too many tools. I was hoping to see a simple explanation of how to use the old lasso tracing tool, wgich I would simply lay down and trace the sky out, down to a horizon of a terrestrial landscape, then simply soften this Trace line where the Sky meets The Horizon, but that doesn't seem possible anymore with a simple Trace tool and then making the adjustment with the Select and Mask icon button with the drop-down menu showing the Feathering function, and other tools such as the soften and Shift Edge tool, like we simply used to do. Now acquiring the new Photoshop 2024 it's become so complicated I don't want to use all these excessive amount of selections of tools just to soften a simple Trace line. Can you tell me is there a way to still simply do it with one Feathering tool adjustment? Thanks for any reply and advice.

Another great episode. We were lucky to see Casper on our first trip to the Kruger. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, we left the UK in early September and travelled from Berg En Dal to Mopani in 4 weeks with a brief 3 night spell in Sabi Sands. We got home last week after driving 5200km and close to 9000 images. Looking forward to the future episodes.

Stunning video sir👌👌

Another great episode, thank you. Well done on the big 5 in one day.

LOVE THE JORDY ACCENT @ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Have now caught up with all the episodes, can't wait for more. Thank you.

We have been to Kruger a few times and love it. It is great to see your well shot videos that remind us of some great spots such as Lake Panic hide and we looking forward to our next visit in June.

So many memories from our last trip, thank you.

Another super episode, thank you.

Bringing back memories of our 21 day north to South trip last November. Thank you. Greetings from South Devon UK 🇬🇧

You might as well be a local, settling in very nicely.

A lovely video. Thank you for taking the time to share it... Keep well.

Great video, love the narration

The bird is a juvenile African Harrier-Hawk (Gymnogene) , not a Crowned Eagle.

Amazing thanks. I updated the version and couldn’t work out how to batch edit. Thanks so much

Another great episode!

Really interesting video! It gave us some tips for our next trip this coming June. Thank you!

How much you have made since the video?

Great Video

Great video again,love the voice over!

This was so helpful! I couldn't figure out the batch de-noise

Interesting

So splendid 🌹

Did you see the corncrake yourself?

Great video, brilliant information mate, done a set up today in my back garden, looking forward to tomorrow to hopefully shoot some shots

I have a question. I noticed that you really like the R3, so much that you purchased another one. I can understand that as it is such an amazing Camera. Being that the R3 has 24 megapixel resolution compared to R5 which has 45 megapixels. Is the lower MP not something that is a concern for you & your wife when shooting wildlife ? Do you shoot landscape as well ?

You might make money, but PicFair is charging you £9.00 per month. So in fact with you selling 2 images. You still have made no money and probably lost money.

Hi Ken are you still using this platform as of May 2024. Thanks. Great work

Dear Mr. Hadfield, Thank you very much for this in depth video about picfair. I have been playing with the idea of using it for some time now, but wasn't sure if its another scam or not. I guess I will give it a go. thanks to you 😊

can you link your store?

Thank you for sharing. John 3:16; Romans 10:9 KJV

Fantastic vid, thanks

Hi Ken. Thanks for the work involved in producing this video, I’m at a crossroads at present with a similar predicament. I’m not as young as I was, and with a back issue ( which is with me for life ), and for the last 2 years, a problem with my knees ( for which an operation will hopefully resolve if I ever get to the top of the NHS waiting list). I have an R6, and my dream lens the 500/4. The weight definitely makes it difficult, that’s for sure, but it seems almost impossible to take a bad photo with that lens. I came from a 7D with the Mk1 100-400, so I’m used to the flexibility of a zoom, I used the 500/4 on my crop body ( very often with a 1.4x TC ) and the one thing I thought was essential for me was reach. Amazingly I never missed the reach of the crop, maybe because the 500/4 hit focus better, giving me more keepers which offset the difference. I mainly use the 500/4 with a Black Rapid strap as my walk around set up, the IBIS on the R6 now allowed me to ditch the tripod/monopod and shoot without having to rely on a support to steady my arms. However, is the focus on the 100-500 better, not necessarily faster, but better to attain focus especially using eye detect which is what I bought the R6 for in the first place. Again, can a set-up with a more accurate focus negate the difference between the prime and zoom giving better results, and as a bonus be easier to carry around too. Years ago I used to carry my whole set up as a walk around, steel tripod, 7D body, 100-400, 17-55/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 10-20 UWA, sometimes if out walking with the kids in their prams/buggies I’d never take the backpack off my shoulders because it was so heavy to use. So, I bought the Fuji X-Pro1 and a few small prime lens to use as my family days out which transformed my photography. So I’m aware that the R6 c/w the 100-500 could do the same, but as with my previous worries about loss of reach, now I’m concerned about loss of aperture, and the ability to shoot wide open at F4 instead of F7.1 How do you feel about the loss in aperture here in the UK, and the challenges of a lack of light the UK gives us now you’ve had the chance to compare. Sorry for the long winded question, I just wanted to give you the background of my experience so far 😊

Watching from the netherlands, i loved your video and voice over! Looking forward to the next one!

INTRO MUSIC way too loud ... all good after that

Very helpful thanks.

Hey Ken. I live in Pretoria and was on holiday at KNP and we got chatting at one of the trading post shops. Nice to see the finished product. Elaine 😁

Lovely video sir,thanks for sharing your experiences with us ❤❤ stay safe

Thanks, I was about to dump £45

What a great video, with some smashing points. This Man is very knowledgeable and informative. I must call into question, your choice of leg position, @ 06:18? I would say and use, one leg downhill, as when two legs are downhill, it is the natural tendency of a tripod to want to ‘pivot’ around the uphill leg.as the two legs have more mass ‘downhill.’ Just my experience. Of course, YMMV. Stay safe, cheers, and Happy Shooting. The Pheasants shots were outstanding, as were all of the images.

Just lovely. Thank you

does the r3 have a 1.6 crop option like the r6mk2, i have the r6mk2 and regulary use the 1.6 crop to get that bit closer and really cant tell the difference in image quality when not using it to just cropping in post.

Nice video. Hopefully I'll be a 100-500 RF owner very soon. Just one minor complaint: the shutter noise preceding every image is annoying. Lots of other KZbinrs use it, but in my opinion it's an unnecessary distraction.

Just wondering what camera setup you use ?

👏👏👏

I have 3 only use Canon adaptor never cheap. All the best

I own the Canon 500mm F4 IS version 2 and I can tell you.....I will never part with her !!!!

Thanks Ken for the select and mask tutorial. Very clear and so much better than some American whizzing through at breakneck speed. Do you have a tutorial on reducing halos please ?
