I have just published episode 108 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss my first impressions of the new Canon EOS R1 flagship camera and my thoughts on the upcoming Emperor Penguin Antarctica expedition, with departure now just a few days away.
For those who may have missed it (on different time zones), the webinar I did for BenQ yesterday evening on advanced post-production of Polar wildlife with NIK software has now been uploaded to YouTube.
It felt like this day would never come, but finally, the embargo on the sale of the hotly anticipated Canon EOS R1 flagship camera has been lifted, and this morning at 9am, I took delivery of two Canon EOS R1 cameras. My initial information (which came from Canon) that the camera would not arrive until the 18th of November was incorrect, and Canon Australia did, in fact, deliver the cameras on the 14th of November in line with the USA release date embargo. Of course, like any new camera, there is a lot to set up and a lot to learn. Thankfully, the camera is similar to my much-loved EOS R3, so I hope it does not take too long to develop new muscle memory for the camera controls. I hope to squeeze in a podcast on my initial impressions before I leave for Antarctica and the Emperor Penguins in just six days.
Just a friendly reminder, I will be giving a Zoom webinar on the 14th of November (in two days’ time) for BenQ on advanced post-production with Nik Software. The webinar will cover the tools I use inside Nik Color FX to put the final spit and polish on wildlife photographs from the Polar regions. The webinar is free – but you do need to register to attend. Register HERE
