Polar Bear Cubs Playtime
A mother polar bear and her two cubs spent two hours playing in Arctic waters. This footage was shot while I was leading our Natural Exposures Invitational Photo Tours to the archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Using a high-powered telephoto lens our group was able to stay over 300 yards away, giving the bears ample space to be themselves.

A mother Polar Bear and her 2 to 3-month-old cub hunker down behind a drift in a howling storm. Although the wind is relentless, the Cub ignores the gale, finding time to have fun while his mother tries to sleep. He eventually settles down, tucks into her protective curl, and begins to nurse.

Photo Tips From the Field-Silky Water Or Stop Action?
Переглядів 315Рік тому
This past month while working in the Faroe Islands, I've been experimenting with extreme neutral density filters that are used to create what is known as the silky water effect. It's a great way to add mood to landscapes when the light is dark, and the skies are rainy.

Photo Tips From the Field-Long Lenses for Wildlife
I'm having this issue with a 633x Lexar SDXC card, the one blue and black. Bought it at Lexar original store in AliExpress around two years ago and it was working just fine on my phone, out of a sudden everything vanished as if the SD wasn't even inserted on my mobile. It is not recognized anymore on my phone, same on other three phones and three laptops I have tested it ever since to retrieve my precious lost data. Around 100GB that's now gone out of a sudden. I don't recommend this brand, I thought it would last more given that it is an original product...
Wow...$7499 vs $1999...I would say its really an unfair comparison...I will stick with the Sony...(I'm sure the OM lens is better but the price is way to high for my wallet) Cheers
Epic , I remembered the nat geo documentaries os these sorts. After 15 years with my samsung s21 fe that shoots 4k i cant do this type of work.
Great footage Dan. Those are very big baby's. 👍 😎 🌟 🤩
They need to be on ice, chowing down on a seal not kelp! So very sad.
Wow!!! The quality of the video is very high!!! I enjoyed it!!!
🆗️🚹🇧🇷😍❤️🐻❄️😊
Extraordinary! Thank you🦘
Nice! I have a Sony a9 & 200-600 and just picked up a Oly M-1 mkII and have wondered much of what you've answered here. I love my Sony results, but it can be such a beast to lug around handheld. I'll have to see what you think about the 100-400, as I've considered the 70-300. One thing about the a9 AF, it rarely misses and the tracking is fantastic for sports such as soccer.
This was excellent - thanks for posting.
Thx for showing us the roundtrip. However, I’d be scared to fill up my harddrive because every photo I sent to DXO/C1 will be duplicated. I really want to go away from LR but all alternatives seem to be strong in either DAM or Raw conversion. Only ACDSee seems to be good at both but only on window because their mac version ist very limited. The speed of searching > 1 million pix is impressive
ATG & I say unfortunately that no camera companies, for decades, make white body to match the white lenses. And to this lenses, no one came up with 50M sensor for m3/2 format instead of m4/3 format.
Great job guys!!! You are doing a great thing helping these amazing old beasts!!!
DXO photolab is MILES AHEAD of Mylio and MUCH MUCH BETTER not to mention them NOT being SCAMMERS LIKE MYLIO !!!
Mitch, that's quite a statement you make about Mylio. I've been working with the folks at #MylioPhotos for almost 15 years and I've never once felt like they were scamming anything or anybody. You must have examples of your Scam claim or are you just imagining your betrayal like so many other conspiracy dogs do today? Please share so I can see if you know what you're talking about. I will agree that DXO is a superior RAW conversion software but it doesn't even come close to MylioPhotos for keeping tack of your pictures not to mention it has no ability to sync your photos across the unlimited number of devices like Mylio does with ease. Apple to oranges here buddy. Finally, I would be curious how long you've worked with Mylio to come to your conclusion. I would guess not long.
@@danieljcox tell you what ? Send me a place where I can send screenshots and I will prove you wrong you what I’m saying is absolutely true. As for how long I “tried” to use them it was one full year and quite frankly I would say I was only able to use them for about one third of that period as the rest of the time they had problems with their software. I have an M1 Mac with the latest OS. As for why I call them ‘scammers’ it’s because I cancelled early and even went so far as to login and change the recurring billing and after all this they ARE STILL TRYING TO BILL ME. I changed my cc I do as knew they were scammers pretty early on. Why do t you try to cancel and do what I did and see for yourself as my guess is they know you’re an influencer and give you much better treatment than us ‘common folk’ Not putting you down here so don’t take it personally but I’m not the only one who thinks this as seen in any google search
Great video! I wonder if the OM1 Mk II has the same issue with polarized sunglasses.
i saw this footage earlier from a different cameraman's recording it but he for some reason decided to point the camera at the sky when the mail lion showed up.
Yep, there was one other vehicle in the situation. But what you saw in the film work from me compared to the other is the difference between a professional camera person(me) and an amateur. (them) Thanks for pointing this out since I often wonder if people have any clue what quality video is. Thanks again and I appreciate your astute eye. stop by anytime.

Just stand farther away if you’re too close to the animals.
Fantastic capture and 🎥 Dan. 😎👏
ohhh my heart cold and no food the man is the problem for heer
Very cute and playful. Thank you Dan.
Hi Daniel, how is the G9ii's autofocus for wildlife photography? Currently own a G9 and am definitely going to replace it due to the poor AF performance particularly for birds in flight. Is the G9ii good enough or is it OM1 or Canon move?
Hello Joe, Unfortunately, I've not had a chance to test the G9 Mark ll. I tried contacting Lumix several times to see if I could get one to try but would never receive any response. I emailed them five different times and still nothing. I can only guess they didn't like the last review I did on the Lumix GH6, which I thought was pretty positive. But my review for the original G9, where I didn't hold back with my disappointment in that camera for birds in flight, may still be a burr in their saddle with me. Oh well. Such is life. Panasonic makes some lovely cameras, but their autofocus has never been up to the standards for fast-moving subjects. Maybe that's changed. I'll never know. But for now, I'm getting exceptional results with the original OM-1 and even better results with the new OM-1 Mark ll. The new OM-1 Mark ll isn't quite in the realm of the Sony A9 I sometimes shoot. But there is nothing like the OM-1 when paired with the 150-400mm lens. I've not touched my Sony gear since I got OM System lens. OM System seems to be making massive progress for those who love action. I just can't imagine going back to the full frame gear due the substantial differences in size and weight of lenses and cost of the full frame cameras.
@danieljcox I have the 12-60 and 100-400 Lumix lenses at the moment and have seen that the G9ii seems better at video autofocus than the OM1 so it's quite tempting. I haven't seen any trustworthy reviews for its photo autofocus hence why I tracked you down and wanted your opinion but a shame that Lumix are still adverse to promotion and actually making money as ever!! I have been tempted by the original OM1 but like I say I'm using Lumix lenses so will lose the features and also I hear OM menu's can be a nightmare to a newcomer.
@@JoeMaranophotography I strongly disagree on the Menu issue you mention for the OM-1. The original OM cameras had a daunting menu system. But the new OM-1 solved that. It's quite good now. Yes, there would be a loss of the Dual IS or what the OM System calls Sync IS if you put Lumix lenses on OM cameras. But I can tell you that the original Lumix 100-400mm is like getting a completely new lens when used with the OM-1. I was astonished at how much better the Lumix lens is when paired with the OM-1 camera body. I wrote a blog post on the phenomenon a while back, which you can read here. naturalexposures.com/new-leica-100-400mm-mark-ll-is-finally-here/
@danieljcox Thanks Daniel! See I would prefer to stick to Lumix as its what I know (G7, GX80, G80, G9) but if the OM1 is better then it would be quite tempting as I also like the look of the 300 F4 and 40-150 2.8
This is incredible 😮

Very, very interesting video about how to survive in extreme cold temperatures!!! The light head cover seems a little bit too light for me. I use a full fur Russian cover for that. But I am also not so used to these temperature. I feel comfortable only to -10 degrees Celsius. I encountered also -20 degrees Celsius but it was really to cold for me...The polar bears series is very nice!!!!
Thanks! Daniel 🐻❄
Very good video about polar bears!!!
Beautiful video, polar bears are so beautiful!

I have already produced large printings and I am convinced yours are also very high quality, as 16MPixels-20MPixels are enough for this kind of task!!!!
tiger fans may argue but there's a reason y lion still holds the title of a king a tiger from his birth till death don't have face this much tention, chaos, competition in dense jungle all the competitors & prey which tiger face in asia r a lite version what we see in africa (hyena, wild dogs, buffalo) gaurs r pretty tank animal but they don't have teamwork, unity & courage like cape buffalo
step back everyone the king has arrived
Climate change 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂another program directed at brain washing the public , the music was killing me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂shouldn't they be hibernating in such weather 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 looks like the cub had a headrush from fentynal maybe he thinks that they should shut down the border
The problem I'm finding is the camera takes TOO MANY photos in these burst modes... I'll have 50 consecutive images of a seagull and 70% of them are basically the same thing. Takes forever to cull after a shoot to find "the right one"....
I agree. I seldom shoot the 50FPS option. Too many images. But whe you need that spped it's a huge bonus. Aleays good to have more options when needed.
@@danieljcoxagreed.. just trying to figure out the best "speed" for me... I think I actually would prefer just 6-10 photos max... if I can't grab a good one in 10 photos, then I can just click the shutter again and get 10 more. When AI Culling software is good enough for nature photography (and not just wedding/portrait photography), this issue will become less and less important. I'm sure Adobe is working on this for the next version of LR.... then C1, DxO, etc will do it.
I thought at first they were going to use the ladder to try and grab the bird off the nest. Wait minute, that's not going to work.
God knows how much I love them ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Beauty on earth
You failed to mention the tripod foot on the Olympus does not require the purchase of a separate Arca Swiss plate.
The video does not show any sharpness tests results. Just a narrative on what you are planning to do. Misleading and a waste of time.
When you cut to your local camera store, even before you mentioned the name, I thought “hey that looks like the old Bozeman Camera lication.”. 😂. I love that store. I’m thinking of a switch to from full frame to micro 4/3 (Oly), and your insights definitely help us non-pros get the info we need to make better choices. Thank you.
Thank you Charles.
They look so done with you as your doing the band
This is the same method shown in the manuals for my Lumix G3, GX80 and G80, though Lumix straps come with just one compression slider per side, not two.
at the beginning that one sub adult male lion was garding the cubs by keeping the Hyenas at bay by facing them down.
Wow what a place to live!
I bought this lens in August of 2023 and love what it allows me to do and minimum focus distance of 1.3M is fantastic. Photography is just a hobby and I don't the funds like certain people have. I had to dig deep and make cut backs on other stuff. I have owned Canon 30D to the 7D Mk II camera bodies and a few lenses. The only big boy Canon lens I bought was the 300 f/2.8 (1st version) and it was a heavy lens. The lens coupled with the OM System OM-1 is a great combo. Light weight and I can carry it the whole day without any issues. Sticker shock will be with me for some time to come. No regrets in switching to MFT format in 2019.
This is incredible!
