- Wildlife and bird photography can be a real struggle in the summer, dense canopies, thick understorys' and overgrown hedgerows can prove to be a nightmare when locating your subjects. After a run of mostly lackluster ventures exploring the woods I decided to try out a new location and attempt to find wildlife and birds amongst the endless fields of ferns and heathland at the beautiful Cannock Chase.

I'm Damian John, a live music turned wildlife photographer from the West Midlands, UK. Join me as I go on adventures photographing wildlife attempting to give a more honest insight into the world of wildlife photography. Not every trip is going to be filled with rare once in a lifetime species so come with me and learn to appreciate all of natures beautiful little creatures, one photograph at a time.

Yes to the film camera, great footage yet again, I watch many people's videos on TH-cam on wildlife but I always look forward to seeing yours the most 👍👌
Thank you Victor, that's genuinely really lovely to hear, thank you! And looks like I better break out the old film camera 😎
lovely
Cheers!
Great video, this is my local patch which has been very productive this year. The small wood with the stream and old mill remains has had some superb visitors, Wood,Pied and Willow Warblers, Lesser Whitethroat, Redstart, Pied and Spotted flycatchers and quite a few more, the pair of Reed Buntings just up the valley side are unusually approachable, just uphill from them a few weeks ago were three Twites and a Barn Owl (15:30 on a quite sunny afternoon), might see you around there one day
That's a fantastic list of species, the area definitely felt special when I was there. Looks like I've got to make the journey back to explore some more.
Thank you for your comment! 😄
Such beautiful photography and videography. I always 'thumbs-up' your vids at the start cos I know I'm going to enjoy them, whatever is in them. Love your relaxed upbeat presentation. What an amazing amount of creatures you spotted! Well done!
I always love reading your comments, thank you so much for your positive feedback once again! 😀 Cheers!
You should definitely give the film camera a try
Time to get the rolls out the fridge!
Beautiful photos and videos! Bravo!
Thank you for the kind words 😄
Keep clicking, great work
Thank you!
Thank you for the video.
I'm a hobbyist wildlife & bird photographer. I use older DSLRs for this purpose. Am I wrong doing so now instead of mirrorless cameras?
The bodies I use are Canon 1D Mark IV, 5D Mark III and 7D. Pair them with premium native prime telephoto lenses. The bodies have tons of shutter life remaining.
Thank you for watching 🙂
If you enjoy using your gear and you're happy with the results then I see no reason to swap to mirrorless other than if you wanted to do more video.
You've got some great bodies and you can't go wrong with native telephoto primes 🙂
Thank you. It boosts my confidence.
Fallow bucks ;)
Thank you! I was unsure as to what they were
