I have a question. I noticed that you really like the R3, so much that you purchased another one. I can understand that as it is such an amazing Camera. Being that the R3 has 24 megapixel resolution compared to R5 which has 45 megapixels. Is the lower MP not something that is a concern for you & your wife when shooting wildlife ? Do you shoot landscape as well ?

You might make money, but PicFair is charging you £9.00 per month. So in fact with you selling 2 images. You still have made no money and probably lost money.

Hi Ken are you still using this platform as of May 2024. Thanks. Great work

Dear Mr. Hadfield, Thank you very much for this in depth video about picfair. I have been playing with the idea of using it for some time now, but wasn't sure if its another scam or not. I guess I will give it a go. thanks to you 😊

can you link your store?

Thank you for sharing. John 3:16; Romans 10:9 KJV

Fantastic vid, thanks

Hi Ken. Thanks for the work involved in producing this video, I’m at a crossroads at present with a similar predicament. I’m not as young as I was, and with a back issue ( which is with me for life ), and for the last 2 years, a problem with my knees ( for which an operation will hopefully resolve if I ever get to the top of the NHS waiting list). I have an R6, and my dream lens the 500/4. The weight definitely makes it difficult, that’s for sure, but it seems almost impossible to take a bad photo with that lens. I came from a 7D with the Mk1 100-400, so I’m used to the flexibility of a zoom, I used the 500/4 on my crop body ( very often with a 1.4x TC ) and the one thing I thought was essential for me was reach. Amazingly I never missed the reach of the crop, maybe because the 500/4 hit focus better, giving me more keepers which offset the difference. I mainly use the 500/4 with a Black Rapid strap as my walk around set up, the IBIS on the R6 now allowed me to ditch the tripod/monopod and shoot without having to rely on a support to steady my arms. However, is the focus on the 100-500 better, not necessarily faster, but better to attain focus especially using eye detect which is what I bought the R6 for in the first place. Again, can a set-up with a more accurate focus negate the difference between the prime and zoom giving better results, and as a bonus be easier to carry around too. Years ago I used to carry my whole set up as a walk around, steel tripod, 7D body, 100-400, 17-55/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 10-20 UWA, sometimes if out walking with the kids in their prams/buggies I’d never take the backpack off my shoulders because it was so heavy to use. So, I bought the Fuji X-Pro1 and a few small prime lens to use as my family days out which transformed my photography. So I’m aware that the R6 c/w the 100-500 could do the same, but as with my previous worries about loss of reach, now I’m concerned about loss of aperture, and the ability to shoot wide open at F4 instead of F7.1 How do you feel about the loss in aperture here in the UK, and the challenges of a lack of light the UK gives us now you’ve had the chance to compare. Sorry for the long winded question, I just wanted to give you the background of my experience so far 😊

Watching from the netherlands, i loved your video and voice over! Looking forward to the next one!

INTRO MUSIC way too loud ... all good after that

Very helpful thanks.

Hey Ken. I live in Pretoria and was on holiday at KNP and we got chatting at one of the trading post shops. Nice to see the finished product. Elaine 😁

Lovely video sir,thanks for sharing your experiences with us ❤❤ stay safe

Thanks, I was about to dump £45

What a great video, with some smashing points. This Man is very knowledgeable and informative. I must call into question, your choice of leg position, @ 06:18? I would say and use, one leg downhill, as when two legs are downhill, it is the natural tendency of a tripod to want to ‘pivot’ around the uphill leg.as the two legs have more mass ‘downhill.’ Just my experience. Of course, YMMV. Stay safe, cheers, and Happy Shooting. The Pheasants shots were outstanding, as were all of the images.

Just lovely. Thank you

does the r3 have a 1.6 crop option like the r6mk2, i have the r6mk2 and regulary use the 1.6 crop to get that bit closer and really cant tell the difference in image quality when not using it to just cropping in post.

Nice video. Hopefully I'll be a 100-500 RF owner very soon. Just one minor complaint: the shutter noise preceding every image is annoying. Lots of other TH-camrs use it, but in my opinion it's an unnecessary distraction.

Just wondering what camera setup you use ?

👏👏👏

I have 3 only use Canon adaptor never cheap. All the best

I own the Canon 500mm F4 IS version 2 and I can tell you.....I will never part with her !!!!

Thanks Ken for the select and mask tutorial. Very clear and so much better than some American whizzing through at breakneck speed. Do you have a tutorial on reducing halos please ?

Thanks for this! Do you have an update with the lens adapter?

Video yang bagus

I’m brand spanking new to feeding all these gorgeous and stunning creatures that we all enjoy watching and feeding. I have several acres of wetlands at the back portion of my property and I’m amazed everyday when I’ve got a new bird that shows up. I think I have an advantage because of those protected wooded wetlands, I’ve had some really rare birds show up and the woodpeckers are my favorite. We had a nest of Pileated and Northern Flickers in our side yard this past spring/summer. What a huge treat!! I don’t know anything about photography except to push the button when your object is in frame so I’ve got a ton to learn. I have a screened in porch, I can sit out there all day talking to my family, take pictures and just sit there peacefully enjoying the birds as they come to visit. They really don’t seem to mind if someone is out there and will usually gather around when we’re filling the feeders and bird baths. I just ordered a new lens for my camera so I can get a closer shot of these stunning beauty’s. I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions but I have a few days before it comes so I’m going to learn as much as possible beforehand.

What an exceptional video! Thank you so much.

Amazing looks a great place.

A fabulous chronicle of your first days in the park, thanks! We just finished a shorter visit to Kruger, with just 4 days spread across three camps, ending in Berg en Dal. I took over 4,000 photos, your video is an excellent complement to that. Can’t wait for the next installment!

How did you fare with the 100-500 you and your wife? Glad you arrived safe, can’t wait to watch more!

Excellent job Ken some brilliant shots.

Loved it! Watched it with my 2 Golden Retrievers Maggie and Odin. They watched the full video.

Makes me want to be back in the kruger

Lovely Ken!

Awesome, can't wait for the next one 😁

That was great to watch.

Any idea what the gold star means on the Photos please

How long does it take for the MODERATION IN PROGRESS take please

You seem to have specialized in wildlife photography, something I did for many years - unfortunately one of the worst genres when it comes to stock sales - the wildlife market was saturated many years ago and sales for me peaked around 2014, many other photographers experienced the same. There is still an income to be made but in relative terms it's around 20/30% of what it was 20 years ago. The fact is that photographers themselves are mainly to blame for supply the micro stock platforms and cause the earnings to implode. One more point is that you need thousands of images on any one site before you can gauge any sort of success, preferably with an agent that offers exclusive imagery only.

I am surprised this video has not gotten more thumbs up. I learned a lot in it!

Have you had any sales since those first two?

Update: you can't sell with the lite version

Hi, thank you for this informations. Did you make another sales and do you suggest Picfair Plus Plan. I used to have an account but I didn't try Picfair Plus, is this worth to upgrade?

Hi, I'm looking at Picfair and possibly one or two others. It's been a while since you did this video, where you seem positive and said you would give us an update. Can you let me know if your sales have improved now since then?

Good video. The RF 100-500mm is shockingly good. I hardly touch my RF 70-200mm f/2.8. I should probably sell the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 and get the RF 100-300mm f/2.8, but I need to give that zoom a solid run for a week or so to be sure its worth the outlay as I worry - a lot - that it will end up "sitting there" next to the RF 100-500mm.

What would be better is if Topaz would actually support their own Studio2 that we invested in. It's a great basic editor outside of a bad crop tool which is the only thing that needed work. I did curves, contrast, exposure, etc, then ran denoise and sharpen as plugins. If they would just tweek Studios a little, and let us run this as a plugin, it would be what us long time users have wanted for years.

Great video Ken, some very good advice especially on the malaria tablets, I have taken them every time I have been to Kenya, you don't mention dust? on the Kenya safaris they are very dusty and I keep my gear under a large towel while on the drives.

I wonder if I can get some confirmation on something; if topaz photo AI, can indeed, as they say in the marketing, remove dust, and scratches, artifacts from a dirty lens and/or filter, in addition to various forms of noise and blur. yes?`no?

Nice
