    Hi Steve It was a long time coming but worth the wait 🙂 I guess, like me, that you had a huge number of photos to review and post-process from your trip to Slovenian Bears! …. and then you had a video to create! Your video brought back memories of my trip to Slovenian Bears in mid-May this year, not that I had forgotten my own amazing experience 🙂 You saw Brown Bears of different ages on 3 out of 4 days and I saw them on all 3 of my days so it is a score draw! You also saw and photographed a Badger at the reflection pool hide which I didn’t but I did see a Stone Marten (a first for me) in the darkness well beyond the pool. It sounds like you had a brilliant time and I trust that you were well looked after throughout your stay by the incredible team of Miha, Lenart and Hana. Richard

    Great video - YT hasnt been showing me your videos recently for some reason, so I need to catch up As soon as you said you had a mating pair in flight, I knew it would be Black-tailed Skimmers! They seem to (occasionally) hover for photographers, I got a lucky shot a few years ago when a pair hovered in front of clear background. The subject detect has been a game changer for dragonflies in flight, I was told to try it on my OM1 and bird seems best, I guess the AI looks for heads in front of wings and works it out despite the fact they are insects. Was so good I made a 3rd video last year just to try it out!

      @@ukwildlife Thanks very much really pleased you enjoyed it. RUclips can be like that, very annoying! Yes it makes life so much easier if they hover for a while. It just gives the AF a better chance to lock on and us photographers a better chance to get them in the viewfinder. You're right subject detect is a game changer. I found bird eye detect best too. Thanks for watching, all the best Steve.

    Fantastic stuff Steve, this modern tech in the right hands is a game changer in many areas. I tried precapture on my Z8 a while ago at 120 fps small jpegs with a huge thunderstorm. The results were stunning, not clipped from video, actual photos of the lightning strikes, all repeatable. Well done with this, amazing. Cheers, Robert.
