Thanks Billy, yes it is a beast! Absolutely loved it, it's a brilliant piece of kit and must be great for studio work. Unfortunately it doesn't quite cut it for our wildlife work, otherwise we would have been very tempted to buy one.

Thank you very much Fergus! We could have done with a few more days in Skye, we barely scratched the surface! Hopefully we'll make it back again soon. Thanks for watching, Sam.

Thank you very much! We were really impressed by the S1R, it's a stunning piece of kit and built like a tank as well. Thank you for watching, hopefully we'll be able to head back to the highlands in 2021 again! S.

Coffee spots don't get much better do they?! Thanks Lee, really appreciate that! Sam

Hey Matt, thanks for watching! I've just been catching up on your latest vid, that jellyfish photo was stunning, such incredible details and patterns in those animals, beautiful! We were pretty lucky with the weather on our trip I'm afraid, although that did make a change for us! I was sorry to see you had it rough, I hope you made it to Mull (I'll look forward to part 2!). We'd hoped to go there ourselves but didn't make it on this occasion so it will have to wait, I'm sure we will make it one day though! Did you see any otters? Sam.

Always try to catch up when I can :). Yeah the Jellyfish really surprised me with it's detail, glad you liked the shot. Yeah we nearly didn't make it over to Mull because of the weather, mind you, that's Scotland I guess :D. And yes, we did see a couple, you will have to check the video for details though ;)

Thank you very much Tim! Sam.

I don't think we need any more convincing Ian, just a matter of time! It was nice to have a play with it in the field though, it is a very impressive piece of kit. S.

Thanks Steve! I have to say I was hugely impressed by the Lumix, it's an incredible camera and the image quality is simply superb. Plus it's built like a tank, which is hugely important for me as I like to photograph in tough weather and need a camera that will stand up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone! Sam.

Thank you David! The light was fantastic, really lit up the mountainside! S.

Thank you Ray, it's well worth the trip sometime, and I'd recommend fitting in a trip to Harris as well if you can! Did you stop off in Durness whilst doing the NC500 by the way? I grew up there and we visited on this trip as well, a stunning part of the world. It's a long way from Oxfordshire where we are now, but we try and get up there whenever we can, which is never often enough! Sam.

@@BosePhotography Yes we stayed a night at Vango Sands campsite and wild camped one night at the Kyle of Durness. I got a nice blue hour shot from there. instagram.com/p/CGN-NC5DsFO/?igshid=145ipbtx2z35f were you interested in photography when you lived there?

@@raesalmon Ah excellent! I really like that image you took of the Kyle. I moved away from Durness when I was 14, so long before I took up photography, but my parents are still there and I try and visit as often as I can. I've made a few videos from around that area (and have one coming up in the next few weeks too!). Funnily enough, one of the very first images I took was at the Kyle of Durness in the blue hour. I wrote a blog entry about it! It's not a great image, but means a lot to me in the context of things: bosephotography.co.uk/sams-blog/2020/1/25/the-most-important-image-ive-ever-taken-landscape-photography-and-mental-wellbeing

Haha, thanks mate! It was a rather impressive bit of kit. Not sure it has all of the lenses we need unfortunately, but it was nice to have a try with a FF mirrorless. Just a matter of time! S.

Oh, and thanks for the video shout out at the end!

No worries! I have my own video from Loch Clair coming up as well, what a place! The FF mirrorless is just a matter of time now for us, we've already decided which one to go for I think (sadly not the Lumix, although it really is a cracking camera). Just biding our time a bit longer ;)

@@BosePhotography I hope you get better conditions on Loch Clair than I did! For landscape photography I can't think of any reason not go mirrorless. :-)

Thank you Jamie, hmm, yes it is rather isn't it! Both Hannah and I are converted now, it's only a matter of time!

Thank you Andrew, yeah I know the feeling. It's a very impressive kit, but I don't think we can be pulled away from Canon ourselves, sometimes it's best to just stick with where you're comfortable! Thanks for watching, Sam.

Thanks Tony, it's a shame the clouds disappeared, but I could hardly complain when spending the morning in such an amazing place! The camera is an impressive bit of kit! S.

Thanks David!

Thank you Alan! I don't think we would unfortunately, it's a really impressive bit of kit, we love the image quality and the build of it, but for us we need a workhorse for both landscapes and wildlife and the lenses for both applications which I think means sticking with Canon for the time being. I know Joe Marano uses Lumix for wildlife, but I think Canon has the better full frame telephoto lenses and I'm not sure we'd find what we needed with the L-mount. In an ideal world, we'd probably go for a medium format for the landscapes and a Canon FF for the wildlife, but until then I think we'll wait until the R5 comes down in price a little!

Thanks Eltin, and don't worry, we're not getting rid of the Canon! The Lumix was just a two week loan from Lumix Pro, a great opportunity to try it out and our first outing with a FF mirrorless, but we'll probably stick with Canon when we do upgrade as the we need the glass for both landscapes and wildlife (and we just like Canons). We're also firm believers in keeping our old gear, our second camera is the 5D MkII which is still a fantastic camera and we won't be getting rid of that any time soon either! S.

Ah, I assumed there must be a way to sort out that histogram, I was too lazy to get around to working it out! It was a very impressive bit of kit. And I've got a bit too used to 47mp now too, bank balance may suffer soon!

@@BosePhotography Did you try out the high res mode? I think that gives 187MP or something daft? Yeah it's easy to do either select histogram in menu and move it with the AF pad or just touch it with the touch screen and move it where you like :)

@@JoeMaranophotography no, I didn’t try the 187MP mode, again, purely through laziness I’m afraid! I figured 47 were enough!

@@BosePhotography I get it. I have basically never used the 80mp mode on mine just because well why would I lol

Hi PJ, I use Kase 100mm wolverine filters, I’m using a K8 filter holder but this has been superseded by the K9 now. They’re a great system, and I like the fact that if you drop them they don’t break, very useful when you’re as clumsy as I am! 🙂 S
