Photographing My First Safari, Part One

Earlier this year, I had the incredible experience of going on my first safari (and first visit to Africa). Although I am primarily a portrait and event photographer, I do enjoy wildlife and landscape photography as a hobby. I thought it would be interesting and hopefully helpful to take you along with my full approach – where I went, what I brought, how I backed up my photos, and the experience of being there.

Photography News: Fujifilm Summit Outcome, Upcoming Lenses from Canon

It’s hard to imagine a more majestic “office” than that of a South American llama herder. Gazing into the vast, awe-inspiring distance through the crystal clear mountain air. Even if the llamas wander off, the view of the surrounding volcanoes is a reward in itself. I’ll be back on the Andean ridges myself very soon, keeping an eye out for the giant wings of condors, and I trust they won’t disappoint me. And if they do? Nothing to worry about! As always, I’ll be on the road, testing some interesting gear and gathering experiences to share with you soon. Wishing you good light as you read this edition of our Photography News.

Today’s mirrorless cameras typically come with two displays: a viewfinder and a rear monitor. Both displays can be useful for still photography, but the rear monitor is almost always preferred for video recording. And really, if you’re serious about making video, you would typically invest in a dedicated recording monitor, either on-camera or otherwise.
