You are very kind, thank you! And I hope you are doing well? 🙃

[@nomadictimbo9185]

@@wildandfreevictoria no worries:). Yeah I'm doing good thanks. Gotten back into the habit of photographing seascapes. Morocco is a pretty awesome country for that amongst many other forms of photography.

Wild and beautiful. We need to preserve this environment.

Thank you ☺️ and you are so right! 🙃

Not easy when there is a conflict with humans and wildlife.

[@juliette-mansour]

Thank you Victoria! You did amazing job capturing the beauty and natural movement of these amazing creatures. I look forward to part ii!

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Thank you Trent ☺️ it is such a beautiful place and the creatures are just captivating. I bet you would get so incredible shots there! 🙂

[@Marcel_Fehlen]

Hey - thanks for this great insight into a safari. We want to do one next year and this video - as well as your video on the Fuji Xf 100-400 - was a great help. Your shots are really great and a real inspiration! Do you have any rough tips on the settings you used? Your ISO settings, for example, would be really great to know :) Thank you so much!

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Thank you very much for watching! I am glad that my video was a great help and very kind of you to say that it is a inspiration, thank you for saying this. I got pretty lucky with the weather so I kept my shutter speed higher and ISO as low as I could but compensate where you need to. Take a little scarf of stuff sack that you can pop over your lens/camera because the safari can get really dusty! take lots of spare batteries and memory cards but mainly, have a fantastic time and take it all in 🙃

[@ChristinaSteed-f6t]

Victoria, thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm so excited I will be in Africa next month and traveling in the Kenya region. I plan on taking my XH2S and the 100-400mm lens. Do you have any recommendations for shooting while I'm there? This is my first Safari.

[@markroberts1324]

OMG. We are so much on the same wave length with photographing wildlife Victoria. My photos of the Kruger National Park are so much like your photos of the Kenyan wildlife. Can I recommend Costa Rica for one of your next trips, it will tick all your boxes regarding wild, free and being you, the perfect photographer and videographer location. 👍

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Great minds ey! 🙃 it’s so lovely to read you are on the same wavelength! I bet your photos from Kruger are beautiful! What was you favourite animal to shoot? That is a fabulous recommendation! I will definitely add it to my list, I have had someone else recommend it and now you, so it must be a sign. Thank you very much 🙃✌🏻

[@markroberts1324]

@@wildandfreevictoria Hi Victoria. Whilst in the Kruger I was so lucky to photograph a Jaguar in a tree which was my favourite picture. In Cost Rica it was a smiling crocodile and humming birds. Absolutely beautiful. 😊

[@markbaigent8373]

Lovely, a lot of bottoms in the photos, were the animals trying to tell you something..

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Thank you! And this is going to sound really weird but I find animal butts really cute!!!

@@wildandfreevictoria hmmm you have not met my dog, her butt is a hazard area ☠️

Hehhee yes you make a good point hahaha 🤣 Erik can be the same too 😉

[@andreasalexander81]

Thanks for sharing your safari with us and teaching us about rhinos and zebras. And today I learned about monkeys with blue balls! 😆 You took so many great shots, really looking forward to part 2. 😊

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Thank you so much for watching! Hahaha you are very welcome, it was new to me as well 😆 I couldn’t help get a shot! Thank you again and part 2 is a good one 🙃

[@knath100]

Nice

[@buyang1376]

How is Fujis bokeh performance,?

[@wildandfreevictoria]

On the 100-400mm lens on in general? I use the 23mm, 33mm, 35mm and 56mm as well and they are all fantastic for bokeh 🙃

[@buyang1376]

Okay thank you 🙏🏻 Victoria

[@buyang1376]

Yes 100-400 ?

[@wildandfreevictoria]

Well as the aperture is f/4.5-5.6 the bokeh isn’t in comparison to wider apertures like the 23mm or 56mm. But you can still get bokeh with the 100-400mm that’s to compression with the telephoto lens, but yeah just not the same that is all 🙂
