Wildlife Photo Critique Ep2
In this video Pangolin Photo Host, Sabine Stols has selected a few images sent to us by our clients after their safari to offer some advice as to what she might have done either in camera or post production to make them even better.

Wildlife photography is of course subjective and not everyone will agree all of the time but we hope that this wildlife photo critique will inspire you to think a little differently when you next press that shutter. Let us know in the comments what you thought of each image.

I love these type of videos. Really helps me understand what to do to improve my own images. Thank you, Sabine!
Please keep producing these type of videos and all your educational tutorials and NP reviews that Pangolin visit. Your KZread channel has been instrumental in me signing up for two Pangolin Photo Safaris to improve my wildlife photography. Keep them coming.

Hallo Sabine. Wie immer ein tolles Video und ich hoffe, es kommen noch einige dazu. Dank deinen Tips konnte ich einiges umsetzen bei der Bearbeitung der Fotos von der Fotoreise letzten Oktober. Danke.

Dear Pangolin team! It was such a privilege to stay with you some days last October. Thanks a lot for picking my leopard cub for criticism. Love the idea of cooling down a bit the Leo. I'll keep it for my print ! Best regards

I agree with all that you said, especially the last image of the silhouette of giraffes. Thank you these videos, I find them very helpful in improving my compositions! Happy New Year Sabine 🎉
Thank you Sabine. I just got back from Namibia and will hopefully have a few shots as dramatic as the ones you showed. I really like this type of information to improve my own photography.

I prefer the full line. But I think it's a dream shot to so many photographers. I would have it would have printed in panoramic. A dream shot
Great critique! Thanks so much!

Thanks Sabine for a very interesting and helpful video. Keith’s shot of the lions is incredible and because of the intense eye contact with the centre lion, which I found mesmerizing, I didn’t really notice that there was some very slight motion blur on a couple of the other lions - I would be very happy to put up with a bit of blur in a shot like that. Anyway, hope to get some incredible shots like these when I am with you in January/February.

This has been a great help.Would like to see the settings the photographer used on those lions.Cropping out the lions in that photo would be so difficult.Amazing photo i would freak out.....
I’ll be joining you at Chobe with my daughter in February. We picked your company because of videos like this. Looking forward to your help in improving my photography.

Looking forward to meeting you!
All of your videos are top notch. I loved this one in particular. It is a classic critique for nature photos. Sabine uses the techniques that we use in our local camera club (Suncoast Camera Club - Safety Harbor, Florida - USA) to critique images. Several of us have been on safari photographing in Africa. I would like your permission to show Sabine's critique in a future camera club meeting. Please let me know. Thank you! -Dave-

Sabine, thank you for the critique of my lion cubs photo, I really appreciate your input and agree with you that a crop would improve the overall image. By the way the picture was taken early morning, before sun rise, I live in the west coast of the US hadn’t updated the time on my camera when I travelled to Botswana. Keith

How do you improve your wildlife photography? Go to Africa. The Chobe River brings many species together. We don't have that here in North America. We have to hunt for wildlife here. Botswana was my best wildlife experience with Pangolin. (11-21/10/2023) Charles was great!!!

Hallo, KI zu verwenden um darzustellen was nicht da war finde ich nicht akzeptabel. Aber das ist nur meine Meinung. Ansonsten ist eine Bildbesprechung immer sinnvoll.

Sabine was using AI to show what the image could have looked like if shot differently.....quite a useful tool when applied in a tutorial I think dont you?

Wenn es nur um ein Detail geht, kann ich es akzeptieren, es verfälscht ja nicht das ganze Bild. Zum Beispiel wenn ein Teil eines Flügels im Eifer des Gefechts angeschnitten wurde. Jede Bearbeitung in einem Programm ist ja schon nicht mehr das Original. Nur meine Meinung.

Hello zusammen und danke für die Kommentare. Das KI hatte ich nur verwendet um besser demonstrieren zu können wie das bild eventuell anders in der kamera erstellt werden hätte können. Ich habe ja am Anfang gesagt dass vieles hier nur Spekulierung ist und es als Lerneffekt dienen soll. Ich habe nicht gemeint dass KI als Bildbearbeitungstechnik verwendet werden sollte.
