Same, always trying to be aware of the lens. Wildlife photography is wonderful. It feels so intimate, just you and your subject through the viewfinder.
Ah, that is a pleasant thought. The last group one I was on (which was the genesis of this piece), a girl put her phone on speaker and started blasting Toto’s ‘Africa.’ She also wore a romper, so you can imagine how that went when she needed to use the bathroom.
This makes me really appreciate the fact that I did a budget safari and it was just me my friends and the guide 😅 also, which one are you?
I feel exposed. If I have to self-assign, I would probably be the big lens although I do not have a lens that large.
I went on a game park safari in South Africa last year as part of a wedding.
I was the Big Lens, although without the camouflage decals, and I TRIED to keep the RAW vs. JPEG lectures to a minimum.
We didn't have an obvious influencer, but we certainly had the rest.
Lovely post.
Haha, but you get some good shots though?
I certainly did, and they were much better than what people were capturing on their phones 😁
I am the medium lens. I can be very self conscious about it. I don't want to get in anyone's way. But I do love taking pictures of wildlife.

“Looks the same as my iPhone shot." BWA HA HA HA!!!
😬 How many times have we both heard that one before, lol.
I know four of the types all too well. The influencer not as much, since I did a lot of safaris before smartphones came out.

Playing music aloud during a safari is a terrible sin!
Most definitely is!
