In this episode, I look back at the incredible year 2024, the travel, the countries, experiences, and photographs, and I look forward to travelling and participating in workshops in 2025. 2025 kicks off in just a few days with travel from Australia to Mongolia for back-to-back workshops for Pallas Cat and Snow Leopard in both the far east and west of this amazing country. This will be quickly backed up by two back-to-back Arctic Fox workshops in the far north of Iceland. It's promising ...
In this episode, I discuss my experiences with the Canon EOS R1 after photographing Emperor Pens with two of these cameras on the sea ice deep in Antarctica earlier this month. These were the world's first Canon EOS R1s to travel to Antarctica and photograph Emperor Penguins. How did they perform?Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.co...
In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on the setup of the Canon EOS R1, including what is new and improved and what is missing (but coming via firmware). I also discuss my experience with a local guide birding around Punta Arenas in South America for half a day—a few short hours just outside of town that proved highly productive.Canon EOS R1 Lightroom Adaptive ISO Pre-setsSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.c...
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.Canon EOS R5 MK2 and Canon EOS R1 Set-Up GuidePhoto of the Month November 2024BenQ Webinar Nik Post ProductionSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buym...

In this episode, I give my thoughts (a short short rant) on YouTube 'Click Bait' titles in relation to the as-yet-unreleased Canon EOS R1 camera. As of today, the 26th of October, 2024, there are no production Canon EOS R1 cameras in the hands of end users or YouTubers in Australia (according to my reliable source at Canon Australia). Production EOS R1 Cameras are still slated for mid-November delivery, and any EOS R1 cameras currently in the field in Australia are pre-production models...
In this podcast episode, I discuss the upcoming webinars for BenQ on the post production of Arctic and Antarctic wildlife and Advanced Post-Production using Nik Software. I also discuss my thoughts on the November delivery date for the new Canon EOS R1 camera, the success of the recently completed East Greenland expedition as well as my experiences with the SKB / Think Tank Roller camera hard case.Think Tank / SKB Camera Case blog post and the problem of flying with Camera EquipmentOctober Ph...
I have just published episode 104 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on the new Canon EOS R5 MK2 camera now that I have had an opportunity to use the camera in the Arctic for several weeks of intense photography (Eastern Greenland and South Western Iceland). I first tested the camera back in September in Australia over three days of landscape photography down the Great Ocean Road. During this shoot, I was photographing only from a tripod and had not ...
In this episode I discuss the noise reduction pre-sets I have just released for the Canon EOS R5MK2 as well as my first outing and experience with the camera in the field. Now that the dust has settled on the official announcement of the Canon EOS R1 and the Canon EOS R5MKII, I want to take a few moments to discuss the differences between these two cameras, their key features and who they are intended for.Canon EOS R5MK2 Optimised Lightroom Noise Reduction Pre-setsChristmas in Antarctica - Wi...
In this podcast episode, I review the latest volume of Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Now at Volume 33, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year portfolio offers a fantastic way to own the best images of the 2023 competition year and serves as an outstanding reference for wildlife and nature photographers. This book is highly recommended.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Natur...
In this episode, I discuss a technique you can implement to use your telephoto lens as a spotting scope when out in the field (avoiding the need for either binoculars or a dedicated spotting scope). Additionally, my thoughts on picking up the latest cover of the July / August edition of Wildlife Photographic magazine (along with a feature article on Emperor Penguin photography) and winning three highly coveted Gold awards (and two Silver with Distinctions) at the recent Australian Photographi...
In this episode, I discuss and give my further thoughts on the soon-to-be-announced Canon EOS R1 flagship camera and wrap up both of my Africa workshops with thoughts on the photography experience. I also have a short rant about the current state of YouTube inspired by a comment tweeted by my friend Craig: 'You Tube is a Cancer'. And, of course, this is episode 100 of the podcast, so I take a moment to reflect back on the previous 99 episodes and discuss the future of the podcast.Introducing ...
In this episode, I discuss the consumption of Nature vs, appreciation of Nature after a recent, somewhat sour 'tourist' experience during a tour in the Cango caves in South Africa. Apologies in advance, but I somehow managed to screw up the numbering of these podcasts and refer to this episode as number 89 during the recording when it is, in fact, episode 99. That was most probably jet lag.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildna...
In this episode, I briefly update my Namibia workshop, which I wrapped up a couple of days ago (an amazing group and a fantastic trip). I then dive into the Canon EOS R1 Development Announcement, the 'incorrect' Adorama specifications that were unfortunately published worldwide, and discuss the actual resolution and some of specifications of the camera from an inside source.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel....
In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on the current state of play with AI generative images, how they relate to the Nature Photography space, and the disingenuous way computer-generated images are used to fool the general public across social media platforms.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on So...
In this episode, I discuss (ok, I rant) how the airlines take advantage of their customers, maximising their profits at their customer's expense. I also delve into my upcoming Namibia and Zululand workshops and discuss the camera equipment I am taking with me. Lastly, I also discuss my thoughts on the many rumour websites and YouTube channels (more of which are popping up daily) related to as-yet unreleased or unannounced photographic equipment.

In this episode, I discuss and review the latest 2024, volume 8 of the Bird Photographer of the Year annual and discuss my reasoning and thoughts on why book reviews are far more helpful than equipment, camera and lens reviews.Arctic Fox Expedition Report 2024Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Soc...

In this episode, I briefly wrap up my recent February Arctic Fox workshop at the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the far north of Iceland and give my thoughts on cold weather gloves for Nature photographers. As a specialist Polar photographer and over the years of trying many different pairs, I have some experience with what works and what doesn't when it comes to shooting in cold climates. If you shoot a Canon EOS R3 or 1 1DXMK3 with the touch-sensitive AF button in cold weather, you are goin...
