[@rafiulalam7168]

Started wildlife bird photography at the age of 10 in 2014, watching this exact video still feels amazing and exciting as it used to feel the first time❤

[@duncanwallace7760]

Nice, I just got my first F4 500mm, cant wait to get to Africa now.

[@rajbharadia3643]

Chris, you are as adorable as your photography! To travel to Africa and click those amazing photos and videos are one step up from the norm! ❤️❤️❤️ your work! Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 !

[@jennifercross2457]

Amazing ! I as in Africa with my dad when i as a child, still to this day I can remember every single moment, just an amazing place

[@ChrisMcLennanPhotography]

Hi Jennifer, yes it sure is! :-)

[@aussiebushgirl1829]

I've been looking at the growing trend towards Canon, but having seen this fantastic video (thanks heaps Chris!), I think I'll stick with my old and trusty Nikon! :D

[@sharephotowild]

Very good photography technique

[@jc32750]

Heading to Kuger S Africa Sunday for two weeks. Bringing my Nikon D500 with my 80-400mm lens. Can't wait to depart.

Love your work Chris! I was wondering what song is playing in the background?

[@animalrescueindia9]

[@TheWanderbong]

Is flash photography allowed during safaris???

[@imtiazahmadwildlifephotography]

it is wonderful........ thanks for valuable information as wild life filmmaker we need info

[@nitrousblast1]

Where did you get the ring that holds your flash?? I’ve been looking for something like it for years with no luck. Thank you

[@whisperingwind7]

where do you live..?

[@ungavaproductions]

True world of Pros means that if you have only the money you are out of game. If you have only talent, you are still out of game. So unfortunately we needs both. In my case I didn't get money so I will never know if I got talent. But for sure I am a passionate ! Good job Chris ! You got everything

[@JosesGarage101]

Hi Cris! How do you measure the light from flash on animals soooooo far away and still get right balanced flashlight?

[@elizabethnichols7019]

Loved it,Chris! Beautiful and informative...

[@rafemuazridwansinam6071]

Very nice.............

[@KlausTiedgeFineArtPhotography]

thanks nice to see how you work

[@cesarpalomares1398]

Great video!!!! Question Where could i find and what is it called those that looks like a magnifiyng glass

[@aarontreadwell2771]

They're called flash extenders and depending on the brand can run from about $20 to $75. I use the magmod version, which while it's on the higher end, is really nice.

[@Lesnafi]

Mr.chris , im with canon because the color , i have nikon olso , great and batter , but it is the time for sony because its for everything now

[@JoanRennie]

Beautiful photography of people of a culture that is in danger of being "modernised". You appear to have a wonderful relationship with the Himba people.

[@marconetto1476]

remarkable gear, Chris

[@MauricioHernandez-ik1rf]

Congratulatios you do very fantastic photos 👍

[@hermesmedias2999]

Which gear do you use please ? What is the product reference of the circle that hold the long lens please ? Does it allow to shot both horizontally and vertically ? Thanks !

[@ChrisMcLennan]

Hi Hermes, I shoot on Nikon and you can see my kit on my blog site here - www.cmphoto.co.nz The circular flash mount is from Really Right Stuff. Good luck with your photography! Cheers, Chris.

[@manojkumarnair8215]

Hi , saw that you were using a couple of flashes with a beamer. Wouldn’t this affect the animals in any way? Btw, lovely photos....

[@lijian2503]

WOW!! This is mind blowing! I feel so inspired by your videos Chris!:)

[@explorewithbro]

This is an amazing video, Chris. You are very lucky to do this Job. I wish I can become a professional wildlife photographer like you! Keep up the good work :)

[@DAS9081]

Great video and better pictures! Congratulations! I have a question: the circular adapter that has mounted SB900 flashes with "Beamer Flash Extender", sold well or you sent to make ? It's a very good idea!

[@ChrisMcLennan]

+DAS9081 Hi, the circular adapter is a product from Really Right Stuff and is terrific, google their website for other mounting and bracket solutions too. Cheers, Chris

[@DAS9081]

+Mr. Poopchillan Beamer Flash Extender

Hello +ChrisMcLennan , do you use CTO gel on your flash to balance the light?

[@tomitomion1179]

Amazing and very inspiring, thanks for sharing. Btw how much does all this gear cost and is it safe to travel in Africa with it?
