Just found this and love it. The most wonderful thing about this video is seeing someone with such a long and distinguished career in photography who still has such excitement for what they do.

[@simondeltree]

Just a wonderful personality. In the years of my life the best advice I'd give anyone is to follow your dreams and never let anyone rewrite your life for their needs.

[@ghlocal1]

Love her enthusiasm for photography. I feel the same!!

Just acquired the leica 100~400 lens & the G9. Refreshing to see these being used by you.I have a small lake just 20 minutes from my home where I've photographed a great blue heron, green heron, otter, turtles, osprey, grackle & cormorant. I have a teaching video by Joel Sartore & appreciate his efforts at recording endangered insect & animal species. Here in Sacramento I'm a member of a small photo group - one of which sent me this link to your video interview. I'm glad she did.

Amen on starting in your own back yard. * There is a strong connection between photography and writing. I do both, as many people do.

[@hailey2436]

I really appreciate this kind of contents! Thank you for this! Photographers need inspirations and guidance from the pros!

[@Bushcraft242]

Amazing photography started in the backyard

[@Kit2Canada]

Thank you! A question on taking photos in the Loire Valley, and the rain. I know there’s a saying “we publish photographs, not excuses”, how did you get/take the photos you needed ?

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

Do you think Annie uses Lumix gear by any chance?

[@patrickservat5922]

FTB was my first and yes I wish I still had it.....the best meter ever!!!

[@葵-s8u]

Which camera is that?

[@mywildlifestories3793]

[@nieco2528]

Amazing interview! She could be my best friend. What an amazing woman ❤️

[@benfromatlantis]

Isn't this super important to all the gear freaks here to see that a professional photographer from national geographic uses a mft camera and no full frame set?! I'd love to see some comments on this.

[@markmcloughlin1592]

Such a down to earth talented photographer. That was such a slow boat though! 😂

[@vOCesUGa1]

this would have been great before Optic

[@jayco10125]

at 0:40 she chucks her camera into her backpack with no lens cap, how is she not afraid of her lens being scratched?

[@Logan4R33V3S]

A lot of people use a clear transparent filter when traveling just to protect for that reason. Typically they'll take it off when shooting to replace with a ND filter or something similar. Also the distance from the tip of the lens hood to the glass is a inch or two meaning it'd be hard to poke the glass if your bag is empty.

[@willparsons32]

It strikes me rather interesting.... I'm not sure where it is that you live but at the beginning of this video you understand that there's a blue heron close by... That you take photos of almost anything. Frogs, turtles and a variety of wildlife, documentary, etc... Well, I guess I can consider myself lucky... Within 5 minutes from my front door, I could be standing at the side of a pond with a vast erray of birds, frogs and turtles. Birds that include the Blue Heron, yellow American finch, cardinal, blue Jay, cedar waxwing...the list is abundant. The turtle species is that of the alligator snapping turtle however, I'm not sure what the toad species is. (yet) I'd like to know what you usually shoot wildlife with (including birds) as far as lenses are concerned.

Very nice vigure, pleasant accent and a hell of an equipment.
