WNPP Episode #92 Cold Weather Photography Gloves

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have just published episode #92 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I briefly wrap up my recent February Arctic Fox workshop at the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the far north of Iceland and give my thoughts on cold weather gloves for Nature photographers. As a specialist Polar photographer and over the years of trying many different pairs, I have some experience with what works and what doesn’t when it comes to shooting in cold climates. If you shoot a Canon EOS R3 or 1 1DXMK3 with the touch-sensitive AF button in cold weather, you are going to want to listen to this podcast.

Bird Photographer of the Year 2024 Finalist with Multiple Photographs

Posted in Uncategorized1 Comment

Very excited that for the second year in a row (and only my second time entering), I have multiple photographs in the final round of judging of Bird Photographer of the Year. For 2024, four of the eight photographs I entered into the competition have been accepted into the final round of judging. I cannot as yet share which photographs made the finals, but I will do so as soon as possible. In the meantime, please enjoy this photograph of the wonderful Malachite Kingfisher, shot in South Africa last year. This is just one of the incredible bird species to be found on my Zululand Ground level masterclass.

Due to a medical cancellation, a single place has just become available for my May 2024 Namibia Wildlife and Aerial Masterclass workshop. The 2024 masterclass has been designed from the ground up to take in not only the best of Namibia but also luxurious accommodations in the very best private game reserves. We will also have multiple private doors-off helicopter charter flights to photograph the expansive dune sea around the Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei areas. If you have ever wanted to photograph the incredible dune sea of the Namib desert and take in the very best of wildlife this amazing country has to offer, then this is the workshop for you. The trip will run from May 10th until May 22nd and includes all transfers, food and accommodation, as well as all in-field instruction. You can download a complete trip itinerary online here: Trip Itinerary. Drop me an email for further information or to secure the place, first in best dressed.

Departing for Iceland Winter Arctic Fox Expedition 2024

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

Please note that I will be offline for the next eight days (from tomorrow) while guiding my annual expedition to the far north of Iceland to photograph Arctic Fox in Winter. The expedition to the Hornstraidir Nature Reserve to photograph Arctic Fox is near and dear to my heart, and this year, it looks like we will have some fantastic snow conditions. I am really excited to get back up to this remote part of Iceland to find and photograph this tenacious predator. The area we are located for this expedition is quite far from the nearest town, without cell or internet coverage. If you are trying to contact me during this time, please be patient and I will get back to you on my return.

If you are interested in photographing the Arctic Fox, I now have dates available for the 2025 expedition, which will run from the 8th of February until the 14th of February 2025. The trip is eight days / seven nights and is fully inclusive of accommodation, food and transfers to and from Isfjordur to our remote cabin. On this trip, you can expect to have a great many fantastic photographic encounters with the Arctic Foxes that inhabit this remote peninsula. Full details are available on my website HERE. You can also check out the Adobe Spark Presentation. See you in Iceland.
