Re: Sony a1 and 200-600mm G lens Photographing WolvesReply #1 on: March 15, 2021 at 7:30 pmThanks Kevin, great article and impressive images. I had good luck with the Sony 200-600mm lens in India last year photographing tigers and leopards. 600mm just wasn’t enough reach for snow leopards. I really appreciate the animal / eye focusing update on the A1. The focusing results evident in your images are very encouraging. Beautiful animals.
On the road less traveled....
Re: Sony a1 and 200-600mm G lens Photographing WolvesReply #2 on: March 16, 2021 at 4:25 amMany thanks for your article. Wonderful images. Wolves are among my faves.
About three years ago I spent a day at a well-run wolf park in crowded ole England, of all places. Neighbours must have been able to hear eerie howling over their pints in the local pub. I found that the wolves were not too difficult to photograph compared to many animals that move quickly or lurk in vegetation, so I was able to put more concentration into light and composition. The park did have viewports in the fences and this made a big difference so I hope they introduce them in the park near you.
I was using much more modest kit than yours but have still managed decent 45” x 30” prints off the files with a little help from Gigapixel. However, the quality from your camera and lens will be in a different class.
The technology in modern cameras has come a long way in a short time. Eye-focus is clearly amazing. Touring with a knowledgeable guide with whom the animals are familiar makes all the difference too. Glad you had a fine time after all we’ve been through.

The UK Wolf Conservation Trust near Reading though checking their site it looks like they are no longer open, alas. A pity, since there can’t be many other places in the UK.
Re: Sony a1 and 200-600mm G lens Photographing WolvesReply #7 on: March 18, 2021 at 2:36 pmInteresting. Shame it’s shut. I’ll have to go somewhere more exotic than Reading. Can there be such a place?
