I know it goes against all rules of wildlife photography, but somehow I tend to get lucky with wildlife but I also track them in the middle of nowhere like a hunter, especially in winter when bears are hibernating (it somehow makes me feel a bit safer) but that also has it's dangers especially with large game.

I keep hearing from those who made the plunge that they much prefer mirror-less and it's also lighter, great for the mountain climbing I do, always looking for ways to lighten the load and only carry a few lighter items. I will also be looking to get extension tubes for mountain macros of wildflowers where I can't bring my "full pack" of lenses to make room for essential supplies for backpacking. Once 600mm is available for nikon mirror-less I would look into one of them for sure over a tele-converter but that wont be for a while. All z-6 and z-7 come with a free adapter for now, obviously changing all my gear at once will be too expensive so I will slowly replace to have all new matching tech in time. 150-600 has a lot of versatility, must have a nice price tag attached to that! Wide lens are fun too. I never tried vintage lenses before, I bet they give a different feel to photos. I dunno about the camera holding up, the main functional parts are fine but some of the bells and whistles are now in my coat pocket. 😂

I'm looking for ways to diversify my game and getting experience in photography types that I'm not used to and have been booking myself "free-gigs" for nov-dec(basically getting a pass to get my camera where I normally can't for my blog) , getting my foot in the door where ever I can, hopefully in time lead to bigger things as my blog continues to grow. Wouldn't mind getting out of the oil industry before it gets obsolete but that's not for a while since we are building new test technologies in emission capture and production of cleaner burning fuels.
