In this episode, your hosts Ron Hayes and Jason Loftus catch up with co-host Mark Raycroft on his latest gear choices, his most recent photography expeditions, why he loves guiding so much, and even a segue into Australian Wildlife...not to forget his tale of an overnight car theft.
In this episode Mark discusses his time shooting the Canon R5 and the 100-500mm zoom combo kit, and why he switched back to Nikon. Mark highlights what he loves about each system and goes into detail on the new Nikon 800mm f6.3 super telephoto lens.
Hear tales from his Newfoundland, Canada Caribou adventures, from the incredible landscape to the most colorful family of foxes imaginable. Mark recounts a favourite Caribou encounter from last autumn, where he and his guests had the privilege to photograph, video, and then sit back and watch as a herd spent well over half an hour swimming in a small lake.
Ron, Jason, and Mark talk about what to look for in a photography guide.
Mark announces his new Musk Ox photo tour in Nunavik, Quebec. This one week fly-in remote tour is planned for when the autumn colours are at their peak. Northern Lights frequently radiate across the night sky this far north during this mid-September expedition. Ron Hayes and Mark's wife Pili will be leading the 2024 tour and Mark will be leading 2025.
More information on Musk Ox and Mark's photo tours can be found on our website. www.beyondthewildpodcast.com and on Mark's website www.markraycroft.com
The podcast takes a short but entertaining journey around the globe to the land down under to discuss the amazingly unique wildlife of Australia...focusing on the wombat, and some surprising but little known biology.
We all believe that stories from the Field are the Best!
