Pro Andy Rouse shows his top 10 wildlife images from 2024 with inspiring tips, videos and chat

[@Thespttedland]

Amazing images. My favourite is No. 2. The intensity of the stare from the lioness is crazy.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks for watching!

[@narinthip3058]

All cracking stuffs Andy. The lioness is my fav. You are saying you were using 8-25mm lens so they were pretty much in your face :-). Cheers to another great year 2025.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Yeah it was!!!! Thanks for posting and hope you have a great year too!!!

[@DD-ew9dm]

Andy, you are the best man. A true photographer, who reflects the soul of photography. You are truly inspiring and help people to rediscover or maintain the joy and creativity in their photography. I wish you all the best for the coming year and look forward to your videos. Absolutely outstanding! Best Regards from Germany, Daniel.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Wow Daniel thanks. Can you please send me an email to [e-mail] I've something to ask you!

[@ScottRitchie-bw9ls]

Wow, great pics, stories and of course, YOU! You make it so much fun to learn Andy. By the way, the lion pic also had a great tail. I loved the tail between her legs. Great shot! And the evening light on old storm clouds. Classic wet season.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Yeah it is but it was January!!! The climate is mad in Kenya right now. Anyway thanks for the support!!!

Happy New Year Andy. Stunning photos. Your enthusiasm is so infectious. I recently came back from India photographing tigers and I would kill to have got that shot of the two tigers fighting. Awesome. Cheers Z

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks so much and I'm sure you got some great stuff! Come on a tour with us sometime!!

[@johnoneill7962]

[@Wildmanrouse]

Yes John this is always the bonus content for our WildBunch club but this time I thought I'd make it public

[@BeckyLehr777]

I enjoy the fact that you (obviously) enjoy sharing your knowledge and you are so very encouraging to everyone. I must also say that I gasped in pleasure at your number 1 - omigosh!

[@Wildmanrouse]

Wow, thank you!🙏

[@SkylarkFields]

Great images as always! I love seeing your photos, especially of the big cats. Look forward to what you come up with through 2025!!

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks so much!

[@peterosborne9802]

#2 the lioness, brilliant. Happy New year Andy. See you in 2025.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Happy new year!

[@cynical1952]

Great video and shots as per normal Andy. We went on our first safari to Botswana in September and it was awesome. I wish you well for 2025.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks, you too!

[@jameswong3105]

Blessed New Year. Looking forward for more photos of yours in 2025.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Thanks and same to you James

[@chrisbrown6432]

Wonderful photographs Andy.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@cerealkiller4248]

Your backlit shots are exceptional, the Ocelot was beautiful.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Wow thanks so much I love doing them and will do a tutorial on them soon!

[@cerealkiller4248]

@ I’ll look forward to that. I shot a Stonechat back in the summer on a bramble, the side/rear lighting accentuated the thorns on the bramble making them slightly translucent. It’s my favourite shot of 24.

[@wilfswanderings]

Next level photos and advice as usual. Love it. Fave is low level elephants…

[@Wildmanrouse]

Good choice! Thanks for the compliments

[@peterbowler6524]

Great photos as always Andy I think my favourite is the elephants. Happy New Year to you.

[@Wildmanrouse]

Happy new year and I always have a soft spot for elephants.

[@Mthompson4545]

Hi Andy. This was also wonderful to watch in the 4K version. Your photos looked incredible! By the way, have you been shooting much video with the A1? How does it compare with the OM-1 Mark ii? - Mick

[@Wildmanrouse]

Hey Mick have started with video so will let you know. I don't compare cameras as it's not really me, I'm just letting my pictures do the talking these days.

[@BerndLaukotter]

Hello Andy, these are really awesome photos. With exception of image 4 and 6 all of them had been shooten far away from the UK. Is there no chance to shoot more than 2 awesome images per year in the UK? Greetings from Germany from Bernd

[@Wildmanrouse]

Seems a negative post and not sure what you would mean by it living in Germany? Just another excuse to bash someone I guess? Obviously I have a lot of UK images this year but the top 10 were MY favourites. The clue is in the title!!!

[@BerndLaukotter]

@@Wildmanrouse It was not my intention to bash the video. My general feedback has been "really awesome photos". I noticed that most of your favorite images had been taken after travelling 1000 of miles. Is there no chance to take good photos near your home or in the UK? I will post the identic feedback if a german photographer shows many images from africa but not from hise surroundings.

[@Wildmanrouse]

@ as I said Berns I have taken many excellent photos at home but the ones I showed are my favourites. I don't worry about where they taken, to me it's the image that counts. In my 25 to 10 countdown for my members there were many UK images. In my Sony A1 MkII review there were only UK images. So it's a little unfair to say this about me without watching other of my videos!

[@melwest3182]

Lovely but what was the reason that you change to Sony?

[@Wildmanrouse]

Explained in earlier videos and I don't regret it one bit
