Departing for Canada and Snowy Owls 2020

Christmas has come and gone and early tomorrow morning I am already heading back to the airport (one last time this year!) to make my way to Canada for my sold out Snowy Owl Workshop. For this workshop I am packing the usual assortment of cameras and lenses (I do not yet have the Canon EOS 1DX MKIII, but I am told I will have it very soon). Since this is a very specialised workshop I am packing only a few lenses. Based on previous experience most of the images will be around the 400mm mark so the new Canon 400mm f2.8L IS MKIII will be my primary lens.

  • 2 x Canon EOS 1DX MKII Cameras with spare batteries
  • 1 x Canon 400mm f2.8L IS MKIII
  • 1 x Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS MKIII
  • 1 x Canon 24-70mm f4L IS
  • 1 x Canon 1.4 MKIII TC

If you are interested in photographing Snowy Owls in a winter setting there are now only a couple of places left on my 2021 workshop before it will also be sold out. You can drop me an email if you have any queries or to register your interest. You can also check out the sort of photographs you can make of these magnificent owls in the Canada portfolio on my website at www.jholko.com.

Pallas Cat Mongolia Winter Portfolio now Online

Today I am releasing my portfolio of photographs of the Pallas Cat from my recent winter shoot in Eastern Mongolia. Photographs can be seen in high resolution HERE on my website in the Mongolia Portfolio. There is also extensive behind the scenes video and field notes HERE on my blog. A few select photographs from this collection will be included in my upcoming Frozen in Time exhibition in June next year here in Melbourne and Sydney Australia.

Happy Festive Season 2019!

Somewhere between January and now the year has just about vanished and we find ourselves yet again in the middle of the festive season holidays. So I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all of you who I met, travelled and photographed with this year as well as all of you who read my blog, and or follow my photography – thank you for your friendships and continued support. Wishing all of you a safe, wonderful and happy Christmas and festive season. I hope Santa brings you good health, good times and perhaps some new photographic toys!

As is customary I will be reflecting back on 2019 and laying out my plans for 2020 and beyond in a coming post in the next few days. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and perhaps even managing to squeeze off a few frames on the shutter.
