So I have previously posted a video on how I manage my cards (and batteries), and I have also written a post about my back-up/storage workflow, so now I am going to bridge the two and why it is better to FORMAT your memory cards, over deleting the pictures!
When I head out into the jungle, there is no guarantee that I will see something new (less and less likely the more I go in fact), so I am constantly trying to get the best image I can of commonly sighted subjects.
When out shooting wildlife, I have a general looping thought process for taking images, so that I am always ready for a surprise appearance, and can then make the most of each chance!
I am frequently asked, “How did you get that shot?” to which I answer vaguely “time”. However, there are some very particular steps I go through in order to get my shots, and I am going to share them with you using a recent picture as an example.
It does not matter how good your camera is, or how much your lens costs, because without batteries and memory cards, they are worthless!
Shooting in low light conditions is tough enough, so how can we shoot in dark? Well... bring you own light.. Any light!
