Especially if you're going to use the Automatic capture feature in the Galaxy S9+, where it detects motion and grabs the super slo-mo footage when it sees something moving. In this case, done right means the camera is held perfectly still. It's not too bad looking, and it can even add to the effect, but only if it's done right. It's difficult for even the most expensive cameras to capture high-speed video and still get a great sharp image because it's next to impossible to take enough samples to fine tune the focus. These moments have me hooked on shooting more slow-motion video.Slow-motion video is a bit blurry. I began to see patterns in the water and in their trunks as they splashed around. I started taking video clips to capture the playfulness of the elephant calves in the watering hole and the affection shown, through touch, between the mothers and young. The feeling was something bigger than I could imagine, and I was having trouble putting it into a single image. When I was in a hide in Kenya photographing elephants, I felt like I was in the presence of dinosaurs. I’m always trying to enhance the narrative of my subjects.
I’ve seen things I can’t pick up with my own eye-like the pattern a bee makes with her wings while in flight, or the look in a lioness’ eye when she turns and looks at me. Slow motion alters time, allowing me to slow down and see and feel nature on a new level. I love photography because it lets me grab fractions of a second and capture that beauty. I’ve always believed that life is way too beautiful and moves way too fast. Some clips are handheld which I think is crazy, but I love the in-camera stabilization. I like to keep things light and simple so I’ve used only a couple of lenses: the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR and the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED for macro photography, utilizing the Mount Adapter FTZ. These cameras are helping me see nature differently and have helped prove to me that beauty is seriously all around us.įor the footage in the video I used both the Nikon Z 6 and Z 7. After every shoot, I’d look at the files and after being blown away, I’d want to shoot more.
#BEST CAMERA FOR SLOW MOTION SERIES#
I started photographing the bugs in my neighborhood park, then really fell in love with the Z series while photographing in Kenya and Tanzania. I find that I’m shooting with it everywhere. I've been having so much fun with the camera. The detail that can be captured, even with my F mount lenses using the Mount Adapter FTZ continually surprises me. With the 45.7mp files I was able to see texture in the eyeballs of dragonflies. I started using the Z 7 to photograph nature and wildlife to capture large amounts of details. From slow motion, focus tracking, and the electronic viewfinder’s focus peaking (super helpful for macro work), these mirrorless cameras have their own voice and new capabilities to photograph the world. The Z 6 and Z 7 have given me new eyes to see wildlife. Since I first started shooting with the Z series mirrorless cameras I’ve been collecting these moments. These are moments that give me chills and make me hold my breath behind the camera.
#BEST CAMERA FOR SLOW MOTION SKIN#
I’ve started taking short video clips of the moments when I feel connected to nature from the texture of an elephant's skin as she walks, to the way a praying mantis turns her head and looks right at me. I want people to feel the beauty that I see in this world. My biggest passion is wildlife and conservation, so I’m constantly looking for ways to connect people with wild animals. I am beyond excited that the Z series mirrorless has turned me into a nature cinematographer and shown me a new way to capture wildlife.
