My name is Will Goodlet. I am a wildlife, landscape and astro photographer working in the African Safari business. I spend my time exploring the dusty roads of Africa with my Land Rover, Basil.
I've been taking photographs for 40 years, first in Hong Kong, where I grew up and later to follow my dreams of a life photographing Africa.

My thoughts on the Canon R6 for Wildlife: th-cam.com/video/OdmfnYPp1eE/w-d-xo.html
Great to see you back on the road with Basil.
Cheers Roger - I'm still being slow and useless, but I get back into it :)
Great to have you back.
Great to see your back Will. Your videos are like watching a BBC Wildlife Documentary with all the added photography tips and tech talk.
I sure have missed your videos! Welcome back!!!
Hi Will... Welcome back. It's good to see you filming again!
Hey Jim, thanks :) Great to be out again, hope to produce more!
glad to see ya back in action,,,
So great to see you back, fantastic to see the quality of your work and the storytelling. Love the additional inserting of detail regarding scale and distribution of the animals. Hope all is well and look forward to more from you. Cheers
So good to see you back! Looking forward to more of your quality content.
Great to see you back in the field, and thanks for the wildlife/bird ID inserts -- so interesting to see the mammals scale compared to people, and the ranges as well!
Thanks a lot Kenneth. Good to be out again. Glad you like the inserts :)
Great to see you back, thanks for your excellent photos, always inspiring, useful know the kit too 👍🏼
Glad to see you back Will 🤞🥰 safe and sound.
Thanks Nader! Yep I'm still around but have been very inactive - like many I guess :)
Great to have you back again Will. And as usual, a superb video.
The master craftsman is back, and Basil too. Welcome back, been too long. Thanks for taking us along on that trip - marsh owl is stunning.
I just want to say that the intro to this video is FABULOUS. Actually, the entire video is FABULOUS. Thank you. All my life I have yearned to see African animals. Not sure I ever will. But, I can live vicariously through your terrific work. As it happens I am mulling over a new camera and the R6 is on the short list. So, I will watch your review with great interest.
Wow thanks Robert! I was worried it was too long :)
Thanks Robert. I do hope you get over here one day. Hope the info on the R6 helps. It's a really enjoyable and solid camera, I used it again today.
Welcome back Will missed your videos.
Cheers Peter :)
Great to see you back Will.
Good to see you back Will. Thanks for all the great videos. Cheers Zsolt
Yes! Our boy Will is back with what I'm sure is going to be a fire video. Can't wait to watch it after dinner, tonight can't get any better.
Wonderful to see you back at it. I had been anxiously awaiting your next release, while at the same time appreciating that both you and South Africa have had plenty distractions as of late. Please keep well! And best wishes for South Africa - it’s a country with so much promise and many wonderful aspects to it, even among the challenges. Hoping to get back over there before too long.
Loved it.
So happy to see from you. Again a great Video
Nice outing Will. Wow! That sure was a long time since your last outing. Hopefully trips afield will be more frequent now. Will look forward to more photos from the R6. Take care now and good luck with that new camera
Glad your back missed seeing your videos
Great to see you back Will, cant get enough of raptors, such beautiful birds and a lovely video too.
Cheers Nick, migrating birds will start arriving soon :)
Sir..welcome back eagerly waiting for your videos.. your a fantastic teacher for me 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👏👏
Thanks Jamesha :)
Hey Will, it's so good to see you again! Congratulations on the new camera ✌️
Glad to see you back safe and sound. I like your new format with the pictures from a Field Guide. I got into this stuff because of my love of bird watching. The Field Guide descriptions are a great learning addition.
Look forward to seeing future episodes.
Alex
Thanks Alex! I started out bird watching too - I thought, particularly with birds that some would like more info.
Welcome Back Will !!!! Cheers
Cheers Rui thanks for the welcome :)
Great to see another film from you Will, glad to see you're keeping well and eventually out and about in your piece of heaven on earth! Being in the UK, one can only dream of the wildlife photographic opportunities you have, although it's a dream for me I'm happy to see at least someone else is living the dream! Very interesting to hear your thoughts and experiences of using the latest Canon mirrorless offerings. Take care of yourself and huge thanks for sharing these lovely films with the rest of us. Cheers, Tony.
Will, that is a mighty impressive video. Must have taken a lot of work, but it certainly does work! Really brings out emotions to see where you do your photography and what it’s about. I just got an R5 and used it only twice so far
Just a minute into your video and I’m loving this intro - I can so identify with the anticipation of the day after getting up so early !
Definitely missed your videos. So glad you're back at it! Really enjoying the extra details you added about the animals, their sizes, regions etc.
Thanks Zak! Just planning my next trip so hope to have a few more coming :)
Great to see you back! :) love that sunrise enthusiasm, with the tinge of anticipation for wildlife at the same time. A familiar feeling here 😂
I been busy and have not watch the video. I am glad you are back. As always great quality product. I was not able to visit the RSA as plan however that is still an upcoming project.
Your Marsh Owl is very like our Short-eared Owl [Asio flammeus]! Same genus of course. Your A. capensis has dark irises as far as I can see from your book whereas ours has a striking yellow iris.
Yep very similar to the short-eared. I’ve seen nice footage of short-eared hunting. They seem to behave almost the same.
Great to see you back 👍
Thanks :) Hope to continue
Great to see you back on the field Will.
Thanks Danny! Was good to be out there :)
Happy to see you are back,hoping all is well.
Incidentally I really enjoy your music choices.
Thanks, yep all OK just in need of some time in the wild - hope to do a proper trip in a month or so : ) Hope you are good too. Thanks for watching and glad you like the music!
Hi Will, so nice you’re back great to see you. Love the vid and music thanks for sharing. Take care ,all the best, Rob.
Hi Robin, thanks for watching glad you liked it :)
So nice to see a new video of you again. Hopefully you are feeling a bit better and are able to get out some more in the future. Grt guido
Hi Will. Great to see you back in the field and hope you’re getting back ‘on track.’ Superb opening with just as superb music. I love watching your videos, a real taster for folk wishing to visit South Africa. Keep ‘em coming and all the best.
Thanks Mark, really glad you liked it :) Will do my best!
I’m glad you’re still with us Will, as I was wondering about your wellbeing just a day or two before you posted this. I noticed you kept both the Benro AND Manfrotto fluid heads too! As usual, I enjoyed seeing the wonderful wildlife of South Africa and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos again. Thanks, Stephen
Hi Stephen, thanks for the concern and the comment! I just haven't been out there. I still can't really travel (for domestic reasons) so I hope to explore more local places on the channel.
That's actually the old Benro S6 that I had. It's a pain because there is no drag on the pan. I need to replace it for left side shots.
Great to have you back, Will. What a smashing video. I've certainly missed your videos. Hope you are ok
It's really nice to have you back on your channel. Loved your intro video with great music. We both regularly watch your videos here and have been worried about not hearing from you, especially with the recent events in South Africa. I do use a R5 and have already invested in some RF lenses like the 70-200 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and the mighty 100-500, even though it hurt my pockets. I was lucky enough to test the 100-500mm to shoot grizzly bears and the lens is amazing. (the animal eye autofocus worked great for bears and birds). I wish I could invest in a r6 back up like you did but I spent enough money for now. We're supposed to go to a Tanzania safari in November, so we are going to binge-re-watch your videos to get ready for it. Thanks! Looking forward to your next videos!
Hello Will, really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. Also enjoyed the extra info about the animals you share in the video.
Hi, thanks so much for watching and commenting here, glad you liked the inserts :)
Great episode Will.
Thanks!
Lovely laid back video Will. I particularly liked the image of the zebra with the flehming response at around 7 mins in.
YAYYYY!!!! So Glad to see you back on form buddy!!!! Great vlog as always some lovely wildlife to be seen there.... R6 eh 🤔Off to watch the other video right now! 😂😉.... JP
Another great vid! 😎
Cheers Russell :)
Great vid will Nice to see you’re back! I was just at rietvlei this afternoon 🤣
Agree with Robert G - brilliant intro and video. Makes us feel we were really riding along. And i want to note and thank you for inserting those bird and animal detail pages when you show an image of one you’ve come across. Nice touch. Well done!
Thanks so much for watching Craig, glad to have you along for the ride ;)
I've been mentioning your videos to a lot of people. Informative and entertaining and enjoyable! Can't wait to see how you feel about the R6 in this video, I just ordered one myself and it's arriving in a few days. Happy shooting!
Fantastic video as always Will. Really pleased to see you back out there, and hope your gas gets better ;-)
Thanks James. Very unlikely the gas will improve anytime soon.
Welcome back Will missed your videos like yourself I haven't done much wildlife photography,I'm also using a R6 but where you can have a drive out and see the wildlife it's abit harder here in the UK. Keep up the good work great videos.
Thanks Peter. I hate to think how I would fare with wildlife in the UK. I've been spoiled being able to trundle around in Basil! I'd certainly be a lot fitter I guess :)
Great short film, loved the music it really added to it ( who are the artists and the names of the songs ). An R6 is in my basket right now, videos like this are helping me make up my mind 👍
Sorry only just saw this comment - Artist is Velvet Moon and song is 'call me out tiger' and the other is Staffan Calen 'I wish that I was a madman' - good luck with the r6!
Hi Will, Great to see you back with some more great images. Your following has been missing you. Just a note about the R6 and peoples views on battery life. At a recent Moto X event I took 1303 Craw/Jpeg images on a fully charged battery and had 30% charge left, to my mind that's very acceptable.
Great to see you back, I was worried something had happened again after your previous experience. I miss the South African bush and the wildlife. Keep safe and looking forward to more great videos
Hi Dean, thanks for the concern and your thoughts. I just exhausted myself working on the R5/6 profiles and needed a break. Hoping to get back into the field soon :)
Glad you're back at it! May I ask what the mount is on the exterior of your vehicle?
Great vid. Love Rietvlei
Welcome back. 👍🏾
Cheers thank you:)
please upload regularly again mate, your the best on youtube
Fine video. I'll have to remember that tip about small raptors favoring windy branches. BTW "mosey" is common slang in some parts of the US, especially the South and Southwest.
Loved the intro, so cool (who song is that?) It looks like you may have the RF 800mm F11, I have had it a while and although it cannot match the real expensive big primes, it’s been awesome. I think the real advantage to it is it’s portability and it’s ability to record some great photos at a reasonable price.
Good to see yoou again, I was worried about the events in South Africa affecting you. How is your dad doing.
Thanks James, we managed to stay out of trouble. Dad is doing OK, but hoping to see his grandchildren for the first time once the embargo on travel ends!
Hoping you are well and safe too!
Hi Will
Nice to have you back. I have missed your videos. I’ve just bought the R5 and am using it with my 100-400mm with an ef to rf adaptor. I have been thinking of getting a teleconverter to increase the reach a bit but hear that they reduce sharpness of the image. Have you found this ? I would be interested in your opinion.
Hi, Will, another excellent and informative video, I was especially pleased having recently purchased the Canon R6,
Like you and the R5, issues of Adobe lack of profiles for both cameras, So I was quick to download and use your superb Will Goodlet profiles, immediately the ease of use and superb results were a revelation,
Easy to install, and the results amazing, making my faith in purchasing the R6 a real asset, I shall look forward to all your new videos, I highly recommend anyone who has purchased the R5, OR R6, to do the same Thank you so much
Hi Ben, thanks so much for the endorsement and support here! Congratulations on the R6 too :)
So glad you are back online. I messaged you via your website but no reply so was concerned…
I very much envy your access to the wildlife to be found in South Africa. I live in New Zealand, somewhere I feel very appreciate of, since we have been generally very successful in be secluded from the health impacts of COVID. We recently had an incursion of the Delta variant, but again our government went for elimination, something supported by over 85% of the population, and we are in the midst of a lock-down in Auckland (the rest of NZ less so) to stamp the thing out. Being on an isolated set of islands has its benefits, but the international travel challenges have put paid to my plans to work on my bucket list of places to shoot - including parts of the African continent. I had shot quite a bit in Asia, Canada and the US and really enjoy working with macro mammals. NZ is rich in bird life, but that is not the same. I hope one day I CAN make that trip to your part of the world.
I like the diagrams you post showing the habitats of animals to which you are referring.
I've been shooting for about 40 years now, starting with Canon A-1 and Nikon F3 cameras while I started as a technical photographer and moved on to travel and stock photography before setting back to other aspects. Over the years, I have amassed a fairly large menagerie of gear (I rarely sell a body or lens, I must admit). With the challenges you referred to as regards using long lenses, I have the Canon EF 100-400L MkII (sometimes with the MkIII 1.4x extender, but also shoot with the Sigma 150-600 and 60-600 lenses, which I find very good. I have been using Canon 7D MkI and II, and 5D MkIII, IV and DsR bodies. I have to say the Sigma lenses are great and give me the reach I am looking for without an extender, and coupled with the 7DII, give me a FoV of about 960mm - which is great.
I recently got a couple of R6 bodies, along with the RF 24-105L, 100-500L and 24-240 (which does amazingly well!). I have an R5 waiting to be delivered when our restrictions are relaxed. I will look at your video on the R6 and respond there.
Thanks again for your interesting videos and insight, I have subscribed! :-)
What a beautifully soothing video; and want an amazing way to spend your day! I love the way your German Shepherd watched you, as if to say "What are you doing, going out so early? It's still dark outside. I'm going back to sleep crazy man."
So many beautiful animals to appreciate and adore. My family actually has guineafowl on their property in Texas (U.S.A.); and we had nine of these beautifully feathered fowl on the farm I lived on as a child for one year in Louisiana (U.S.A.) .
That entertaining party animal that appears at 10:31 brought me a bit of joy this morning. I can relate! 😀 While most of the time I tend to be a loner, keeping to myself, I've often been the silly excited dancing girl that got the party started when everyone seemed content sipping their drinks and chatting about who knows what.
I also loved the audio from beginning to end! This video could almost be used as a type of meditation for me; or at least a mood elevator.
It is inspiring to know that you are partially blind in your left eye and you still capture such amazingly beautiful images. I have thinning in one of my retinas. I've been seeing yellow orange spots. Just this morning, I was wondering what I could possibly do if I lost sight in one eye, or entirely. It seems that would be the end of this life for me. It seems that everything about my life involves beauty imagery and the sense of sight.
Hi Carolyn thanks for watching and apologies taking so long to reply.
Yeah my dogs usually can't wait to get outside in the mornings but not at 4am :) Interesting to hear that Guineafowl have made it all the way to Louisiana and Texas - I guess they'd like it there too and are used to dodging marauding canids and cats.
I've always wanted to capture Springbok pronking (it's Afrikaans for showing off) I still haven't got a photograph of them doing it. One day!
I've been mostly blind in that eye since birth - I think it's easier if it's from birth as we learn to compensate (my mother lost an eye and also learned). But I still spend a lot of time walking head first into painful objects and god forbid I need to look under a cupboard or bed on that side!
I really hope your eyesight doesn't get any worse and the deterioration can be halted.
Take care!
@@WillGoodlet Thanks for your kind and generous reply! On a humorous note, one of your kind has made it all the way to Texas too. My housemate is from South Africa. 😄 I'd love to see more of your dogs, if you ever get a chance to include them in your videos. Oh, actually, have I seen a tutorial type video you shot in your yard? It's coming to me that I did and your dogs made an appearance there. I have a tendency to ramble through my fingers/keyboard; so I'll leave you, now.
As everyone else here I am very happy to see a new great video from you! I admit that I am a selfish person, so I hope, that I will see more new videos from you soon, as I really enjoy watching every single episode of your journeys! :)
Cheers and thanks :) I'm planning a trip right now, so hope to have some content coming your way!
@@WillGoodlet I hope you will enjoy as much as we enjoy watching your videos!
I find your videos so refreshing. There is poetry in them. Would love to meet you in person some day. Madhukar
Thank you so much! Maybe one day :)
Thank you so much for this video. Am always glad to watch your video because I can relate to it as an African living in Africa. So I take your reviews seriously. Am in Ghana West Africa. Please what will you recommend, Canon EOS R or Canon 90D for wildlife photography and video?. Please help me out.
Hi Will. Now that travel is a lot easier when are you coming to The Chobe?.....all the migratory bird species are starting to arrive...Skimmers everywhere! Head North in the Landie....we have a room for you whenever you can make it!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind offer! I have a few domestic issues to sort out with finding care for my Dad but I'd love to visit Chobe again once I can figure things out :)
@@WillGoodlet you know where we are when you are ready! Hope the domestic front gets resolved for you. Never easy.
do you shoot in 8K and crop your videos in? I just figured this out with my 800mm F11. for video, shooting in 8K and putting on a 4K timeline gives my lens the capability of a 1600mm F11
Another splendid & entertaining presentation. It makes for compelling viewing
May I ask the name of the app that identifies the animals?
Thanks so much for watching :) The birds are from Roberts Birds of Southern Africa (I find this the best) and the mammals from Stuart's Southern African Mammals.
Hi Will, please show us how you have set up your camera next to you in the landy.
Do you mean your n the door? If so there is a video in gears and reviews on my channel - hope you can find it. It’s called the gimpro door mount.
Or if you mean on my left inside, that is a tripod
@@WillGoodlet it was the tripod balancing on the seat? Not sure how? Thank you. Your videos are awesome.
Welcome back. I'm also a hybrid shooter with the R5. I I tend to shoot video with the RF 100-500 lens, wide open (f7.1) at 4k 60fps. I just set the speed to give me the correct exposure, so no messing about with ND Filters. I don't worry about the 180 degree rule. Does it really make that much difference for fast action wildlife videos?
I don’t like the way the wings don’t blur naturally on bird shots, for most other things it seems ok.
I’ve just received the canon nd adapter which is quite nice. But the nd on the end of the lens is just as easy if it’s a 77mm thread
@@WillGoodlet Thanks for your reply. I'll have to try shooting my next video at 1/125 to see how it looks, I like photographing/filming fast dynamic birds of prey, herons, egrets. Its usually so dull in the UK, at this time of year, I probably won't even need an ND Filter :-) I really looking forward to my Safari in Botswana next year. Its beens cancelled twice due to covid.
@@martineldridge1319 hope it goes ahead this time! Fingers crossed
Hi Will, love your videos, ,myself im wondering if to get the R6 for wildlife photography your thoughts? please!
Hi Dave, it’s very well suited to it especially if you won’t be photographing in extreme environments and if you already have long glass.
It suits a longer focal length than something like a 7d2 and R5 because those cameras are more croppable.
I certainly enjoy using it but find my 100-400 is a
Little short
@@WillGoodlet Thanks very so much for taking time to reply, yes i do have a Canon 500 lens so i think i go with the R6,thanks again Will..
whar lens r u usinng on the r6 looks a beast im not a pro but very passionate severely sight impaired/blind photographer uk based, i currently use nikon z7 and 24-200 as i like to capture not just wildlife but i hired a sigma 150-600 but recently sold it as afterwards realised more pricey lenses less weight compared to that, i then recently hired a 500mm pf les via adapter too to try out for a recent filming piece to come out on bbc winter watch at end of nect month, so looking at other options i either stay with nikon but wait a lot longer for lenses for wildlife or swap brands either fuji or canon or other brands
Hi Alex, I use two lenses. A canon 100-400 Mark ii and a Canon 400 f2.8. I like the 400mm f2.8 as a compromise because it is wide enough to photograph large animals like elephant and I can use a teleconverter to shoot at 560mm or 800mm at reasonable quality.
Many people use 500mm f4 in South Africa, it's kind of a standard. 600mm is better for birds. But I find the 400mm offers a different kind of shot and because it is rarely used by wildlife togs it can lend the image a different look and differentiate it slightly. I wouldn't recommend it in the UK, it's probably too short for what you need.
A lot will depend where you use the lens, and how you travel with it. 600mm F4 is hard to travel with - so the 150-600, 200-500, 500pf etc.. are all good options for that. I think we all have different requirements and it's about finding the best compromise for us and how and where we photograph. You wouldn't catch me lugging my big 400mm around the UK countryside on foot for example :)
Hi. Nice videos!
Where would I get one of these window mounted gimbals you are using in this and other videos?
Regards
Hi Gunter, it's made in SA by @RalphPollack (there is a review with all the info on my channel)
Estou com problemas quando uso minha canon 100x400 na R6. quando passo dos 200mm lente não foca. Se alfuém tiver alguma dica
I've been on a notify list by email at B&H Camera here in the States for about 5 months for the adaptor for EF lenses. Still not available here. What is going on with Canon?!
I ordered one at B&H and it’s been on back order for two months - regretting that decision.
We have them available here but they are usd 600 instead of us 400
You see? As I mentioned to you before, these mirrorless take a 2x (eg to the 100-400 II) without major loss of IQ. For me this is a game changer, as I don’t need to buy, rent, carry a 600mm f/4 on international travel.
How does no mirror change the image quality with a 2x converter?
@@brendansheehan2178 it’s a kind of game changer / magic. I have no idea about the physical/optics side of explanation but I know what I see.
I'm having problems when using my canon 100x400 on R6. when I pass 200mm lens does not focus. If someone has any tips
Is it a mark i lens? I am not sure it is supported? There is a list of supported lenses in the manual I think.
Hi Will, do you still use the R5?
Hi Steve yes sure - I use it principally for photography on a 400 f2.8. I have a second body R6 for acquiring video (because it needs filters etc attached that impacts speedy photographic capture).
I also have a 3rd body (7d2) which, in an ideal world I would use with a zoom lens (100-400) for grab shots or wider shots.
At the moment I am trying to fill both the video and grab shot role with the R6 using a drop in filter system that is more easily removed.
Hope that makes sense!
@@WillGoodlet If it gets the job done it makes sense !
Who is the artist on the intro music?
Velvet moon - track is “call me out tiger”
@@WillGoodlet Thanks - your music selections are lovely. Much appreciated. I'm a hacker amateur musician myself and I do have a decent ear. So, it has been nice to hear this stuff you put up that I am not familiar with. I am struggling with the R5/R6 purchase decision. Watching a lot of reviews and sorting out what is best for me. That is why I am back here again. I would prefer to put the extra money required for the R5 (initial cost and related post purchase costs) into lenses. I don't have a collection of EF lenses. Fundamentally, for my amateur purposes, the question that I keep getting stuck on is whether I will regret the lack of megapixels. Leaning R6. Today anyway. :)
Locked down for 10 months in South Africa?
We have had various levels of lockdown since March 2020. The main problem for me is the curfew that has been in place. You can leave the house at 4am this is too late to really go anywhere in summer (sunrise) in winter it’s a bit better. But I can only get to very nearby places. For example I used to leave the house at 2am for pilanesberg - maybe 9pm the day before for a weekend in Kruger. That’s all impossible at the moment.
@@WillGoodlet it should be obvious by now to anyone with any common sense that these measures are not about health at all but about control and tyranny.
@@fgb3126 the curfew here is basically because of alcoholism - people get utterly wasted and fight, injure each other, drive drunk etc… it’s been very effective at reducing pressure on hospitals. But I think it should be ended at 3am not 4. I think it’s mostly an oversight
The reduction in emergency wards has been quite a revelation
@@WillGoodlet then it has nothing to do with the whole Covid hysteria? Man! I sure am glad I live in a part of America where the Government didn't try that kind of nonsense on us. Wearing those stupid masks was bad enough.
Awesome videos mate! I really like how you give a bit of a description and some information of the animals you encounter
Cheers Ethan :) Appreciate it.
