Trail Camera: Bird Photography In Costa Rica!

After 15 years reviewing cameras, PetaPixel's Chris Niccolls knows gear. But knowledge and skill are different things. In this episode of Trail Camera, Chris and Jordan Drake travel to Costa Rica to learn bird photography from OM SYSTEM Ambassador Ben Knoot and Costa Rican bird photography guide Ken Martinez. What Chris discovers goes beyond technique: the parallels to his other passion, fly fishing, the magic of uncertainty, and why bird photographers chase moments of connection with the natural world. This episode was filmed entirely handheld on an OM-1 Mark II camera and M.Zuiko lenses.
