I have just published episode 112 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, we welcome the new 2025 year and season five of the podcast. I also give my thoughts and impressions on shooting Pallas cats with the Canon EOS R1 here in the far eastern Steppe region of Mongolia for the last week in the frigid winter and discuss a workaround for assigning pre-capture to a custom shooting mode.

In this episode, I look back at the incredible year 2024, the travel, the countries, experiences, and photographs, and I look forward to travelling and participating in workshops in 2025. 2025 kicks off in just a few days with travel from Australia to Mongolia for back-to-back workshops for Pallas Cat and Snow Leopard in both the far east and west of this amazing country. This will be quickly backed up by two back-to-back Arctic Fox workshops in the far north of Iceland. It's promising to be a huge year, and I am super keen to get underway.

If I had to sum up 2024 in one word, it would be ‘gratitude.’ I am grateful to have shared my passion for photography with many like-minded individuals. I am likewise grateful for a safe and prosperous year and for the incredible experiences throughout the year. My sincere thanks to all who travelled and participated in one of my trips this year; it was beautiful to have such fantastic shared experiences. It was an incredible year of travel and photography that sometimes left me breathless at the pace and intensity. Don’t forget to check out my twelve favourite photographs for the year HERE.

Last and certainly not least, I wish all of you a very safe and happy New Year, and may 2025 be one of health, happiness and one of travel, amazing light, and experiences for all of you. See you in the New Year!

In this episode, I discuss my experiences with the Canon EOS R1 after photographing Emperor Pens with two of these cameras on the sea ice deep in Antarctica earlier this month. These were the world's first Canon EOS R1s to travel to Antarctica and photograph Emperor Penguins. How did they perform?
