I suspect wildlife photographers and especially those of you who do a lot of bird photography will be excited about this new lens. 150-600mm equivalent to 300-1200mm in full frame!

I’ve been lucky enough to borrow the new OM System OM-1 Mark II before it’s official release. In this blog post I’ll go through some of the new features and share some images I’ve taken during the month I’ve had it.

Second to actually pressing the shutter and making the image, printing my best photos is one of my favourite things to do. At the beginning of a new year what better way to print photos than by making a wildlife photography calendar of you best images.

In this post I’ll walk you through how I printed a photo calendar of my favourite wildlife images of 2023 using Saal Digital.

I’d heard a lot about how close you can get to puffins on Lunga, one of the Treshinsh islands west of Mull. So during on a camper van trip to the Isle of Mull early summer 2023, I was beyond excited to finally take a trip to this mythical island.

In May 2023, I took a holiday with Alex and Brew dog to the Isle of Mull. Obviously I couldn’t leave my camera behind and every opportunity I got I snuck away for a little bit of photography. This means my photography was limited to what was near our camper van, but on the spectacular beaches that we stayed at there was always something to photograph!

We can spend so much money the newest and fanciest gear these days, but do we need it? Can we still create great images with budget gear? I’m a big believer that the photography gear we use is a tool and most of the great images we produce comes more from using our knowledge of composition, light and animal behaviour.

Black Grouse are stunning, secretive birds with a thrilling courtship display. Extremely sensitive to disturbance, it can be a challenge to photograph them, but with the right set up, it’s an unforgettable experience.

A fantastic trip to Dovre in January 2023 where I was joined by Gunnar Dresler, Oddbjørn Austevik and Trond Westby to photograph the muskox in the snow. A cabin trip with good company and 3 days of wildlife photography, I can’t think of a better way to kick off the year!
