I've always nursed the desire to shoot wildlife of some sort either for fun or pastime or professionally.
Well, for obvious reasons, seeing that I work a 9-5 job and still do professional cinematography, it becomes an adjuct that may be difficult to achieve.
I shoot on Lumix MFT cameras and currently shoot a Lumix GH6. However, I combine it with the old cheap lenses I used to use on my GH4. The farthest lens I have is about 200mm at it's maximum (35-100mm MFT), so I pretty much stick to how far it can stretch if trying to attempt shooting wildlife.
Nevertheless, nature perhaps sometimes brings some wishes to you.
I sat by the table at my Window sill a few days back, going through undone work I had to finish.
As I was about finishing, I raised my head and looked through my window. My eyes caught some movement on fence juspt adjacent my window at some distance. Lo and behold, it was a monitor lizard quietly creeping on the fence just beside the window.
I looked at it at close range and knew it could hardly define that I was behind the window.
This was my opportunity!
I quietly took my camera out of my bag placed the lens in and pointed the canat it just in time to take some images.
It paused long enough for me to get some shots through the window.
However when I tried to open my door and peek closer to get a closer look, it ran off at lightning speed.
Well, at least I got my shots!
What breed of monitor lizard is this by the way??🤔
