Your reaction to the success of the morning, that you were basically just winning and didn't even need the rest of the day, reminded me of night hiking in Costa Rica. The first night, we were tired and cranky from travel and had to be dragged out on the trail. We saw so much amazing stuff that night, that every other night, we were begging to go out, no matter how late it was when we got done with other activities!

That brought back memories of camping in Kruger, hearing lions roar while trying to sleep in a tent...

Great footage and images BvS, and nice to see that subs counter going up again. 95K and closing in on the 100K

Love your photography and your channel! I have been getting more and more into photography recently and LOVE it!

Wow, you guys had amazing sightings! Leopards are really not easy to find, I'm so glad that you were able to enjoy them :) I totally agree, great sightings do not always equal great photos but that makes the great photos even more special and the memories of the great sightings live on.

Nice little adventure day! I put this on to pack for a photo shoot tomorrow and got to distracted to actually work...

Nice man, The big five.... wow !!!!. its definetly on my bucket list. Keep em coming Brendan!!!

Looks like a once in a lifetime experience there. Enjoyed ty.

The photo that you took of the bird is totally magazine worthy! Gorgeous! And the zebra too. Wildlife photography isn't easy. Awesome job!

Yeah that bird shot was great

I just discovered your amazing channel. It's perfect and great... Well done.

Loved your channel when it was about photography

Amazing video as usual mate,lovely animals.hope you are both well.😀😀

Life comes first, great philosophy 😁

Loved the photos mate 👍

Amazing for sure.

Love it 😊

You did get some nice images. In sketchy or changeable light, I've gotten good results using manual aperture & shutter speed with auto ISO. Gives me good control of depth of field. You said you're starting to like the R for wildlife but didn't say why. I didn't see it do anything your 5D Mark IV couldn't do (and probably better), except the touch screen movement of focal points. That's pretty cool. Thanks.

Thank you Brendan

Cool! I like your video and images!

I'm not familiar with the Canon, but you might look to see if the record button can be programmed for a different button that is more convenient.

What do you do to reduce noise in these photos? what technique do you use? could you make a video about noise reduction?

amazing video, brings back memories of my trip. Just a question, why are you shooting at 1/1000 with a high iso insead of the other way around? im trying to learn as much as i can

Seriously? I saw a few shots that were beautiful, like the rhino in front of the tree. Looks like a perfect day, glad you enjoyed it.

Cool video!

Hi Brendan great video again! Can you maybe tell me the name of the song? Thank you

Like that you are liking the EOS R. I’m still on the fence about it. Maybe you need to start saying which camera you are using in the technical data on your shots. At least for awhile. Might help some of us decide if we want to upgrade or need it

Take a hammok next time when camping. Find a shady spot have a cold beer and before you know it youve had a power nap and ready for an afternoon drive. Works for me on days like these.

The kruger is my favorite place in the world 🌎... I live in SA and i just want to know what you use to stabelise the camera and lens

I like the photo of the rhino in front of the tree.

What lens do you use outside of the canon 100-400mm ii?....how comes you dont use the 1dx? Is it because of the weight factor...I'm switching to wildlife photography and I'm updating my camera bag to reflect this

I saw two other vloggers today who included clips from your channel for different reasons. One, pointing to you as an inspiration. The other trolled you for vlogging with an R on a big gimbal. To be fair, that setup looks heavy AF.

Really enjoying your safari journey. You mentioned that you're enjoying the EOS R for wildlife. What makes is work for you? Just curious, there's so much hate on right now for the camera, it would be great to hear your perspective (other than the video record button disaster!).

Honestly, it's not so much the R it's just mirrorless. Having the manual focus peaking is a game changer for wildlife in my opinion

Hi there. Nice work. I would question, though choice of shutter speed with challenging lighting conditions on almost stationary subjects - over 1/1000, ending up with high ISO - WHY?

@BrendanvanSon

Fast animals, moving Jeep, long lens, etc. Without I higher shutter speed you risk unsharp images.

2:35 Once you go mirrorless it's hard to go back to a DSLR

Should always hang around after the buffalo herd has passed, they are usually followed by the lions

Thumbs down? I wonder what makes some people dislike a perfectly entertaining and informative vlog.

I have been there

Loved Kruger when I was there . I know folks like go in the drier seasons because they experience "more sighting but photographically speaking the landscape being so dry is so drab and unappealing.

3:00 I switched from Canon to mirrorless 5 years ago...haven't looked back (hyperbole?) :)

I am not sure if the park has signs (most parks do) concerning opening your windows while in the park. Many tourists have died in South Africa alone by opening their windows in the parks, and therefore being attacked by an animal. Much love from SA just want you all safe!

This might be a stupid question, but did you back away from the water buffalo cos they could decide to charge at your car?

@BrendanvanSon

Yup. But mostly because you don't want to be in the middle of the heard in case they get spooked and stampede. Then, you get squished.

Not quite sure why you’re shooting such a high shutter speed and ISO when you are photographing stationary animals?

I really enjoy your videos very much. I feel that I am right there with you. You have mentioned that you have problems with composition. I have a wildlife composition tip for you. Do not clip the feet. If the animal is standing in grass leave room for where you think the feet would be. Please visit my website to see some of my wildlife photos; fineartamerica.com/profiles/jerryfornarotto.html?tab=artworkgalleries&artworkgalleryid=183894

The Cape buffalo looked scariest

Second.. hmmm

I feel a few of these shots are overexposed

Stupid record buttons. I remember someone almost nailing a waterspout shot on his iPhone, only to realize he missed the ⭕️ on the screen. 🤦🏻‍♂️

First?

DUDE, when talking about the animals... FILM THEM instead of yourself... narrating about them showing your face is NOT COOL. WTF!!!!

chillout, did you listen to anything he was saying? he mentioned like 20 times that the record button on the eos R caused him to miss shots.
