Besides my ongoing conservation work with our land restoration and education project (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.simonkingwildlife.com\">www.simonkingwildlife.com<\/a>), a lot of my efforts have been concentrated on the field of wildlife still photography.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For my latest book <em>NatureWatch<\/em>, a guide on how to track and observe British wildlife, I set myself the enviable task of trying to generate original imagery to illustrate all of the species covered in the book along with their signs \u2013 and that\u2019s a lot of creatures! To do this, I travelled the length and breadth of the UK, photographing the magnificent wildlife and the clues they leave behind; from footprints to poop.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110852 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5760\" height=\"3840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg 5760w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=1240,827 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Simon-King-2.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5760px) 100vw, 5760px\" \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Lens work<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This task called upon the full battery of lenses I have at my disposal, including the razor-sharp ZEISS 100mm f\/2 Milvus lens for the majority of animal track and sign images, as well as photographs of reptiles, butterflies, small mammals and the like. Most of the bird images in the book were achieved with a 500mm telephoto lens, but all of the wideangle and macro work also utilised ZEISS optics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By contrast, last year I was also commissioned to create an exhibition of images to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire. I approached the challenge of photographing some of Longleat\u2019s iconic animals in the safari park with a clear target \u2013 to get inside their world! With this in mind I had a special predator-proof door built to fit on the side of my Land Rover. This enabled me to get down to ground level and up close and personal with the more dangerous residents of the park, including the lions and tigers.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110856 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.37.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1918\" height=\"1278\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To enter their world I wanted a low, wide, very close view and so I predominantly used ZEISS wideangle lenses, specifically the astonishingly sharp 15mm f\/2.8 Distagon T* and the ZEISS 28mm f\/1.4 Otus. Both of these remarkable precision optics gave me punchy, bright and sharp images with a minimum of edge distortion. Just as well, because for the effect I was looking for, the big cats had to be very, VERY close indeed. On more than one occasion I had lion snot on the object lens! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the ring-tailed lemurs I did not have to be behind bars for my own safety \u2013 but I had a very specific image in mind. To illustrate their remarkable athleticism, I wanted to position myself below the leaping lemurs. Conditions had to be just right, with a cloudless blue sky \u2013 a feature that can be in short supply in the UK! Here too I used the ZEISS 15mm f\/2.8 Distagon T*, which gave me a fabulous depth of field and minimal distortion, despite the lemurs jumping just a few centimetres away from the lens. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110857 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.15.png 454w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.15.png?resize=300,425 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.15.png?resize=282,400 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Trusty binoculars<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While out and about I am always equipped with my favourite ZEISS binoculars \u2013 as seen on the cover of my book! The recent design innovations have culminated in the finest sports optics in the world. My Victory SF 10 x 42 binoculars are one of the most important tools in my kit bag. Optically they are flawless, but it is their handling which is the real game changer. I use my bins all day, every day so weight and comfort matter a LOT.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-111047 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/NatureWatch_LHR2-306x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Victory SFs are lightweight and beautifully engineered, sitting in your hands and against your eye sockets in perfect balance to alleviate the fatigue that can result from prolonged periods of observation. Their focus wheel is smart too, taking a minimal amount of movement to pull focus from infinity to very close indeed \u2013 great when tracking a fast-moving bird or beastie. If you want to watch butterflies and other bugs, the minimum focus is just 1.5m \u2013 that\u2019s down by your feet (if you\u2019re the same height as me)! Couple this with the astonishingly wide field of view \u2013 the widest in its class \u2013 and you have the best bins in the world! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wouldn\u2019t be without them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn more about ZEISS optics at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeiss.co.uk\">www.zeiss.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Signed copies of Simon&#8217;s book <em>NatureWatch<\/em> are now available to order on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonkingwildlife.com\">www.simonkingwildlife.com<\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Simon&#8217;s kit bag<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Milvus 2\/100<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110861&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110861 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/pi-0103-2015_zeiss_milvus_family-630x303.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"303\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: ZEISS<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The Milvus 2\/100, featuring the ZEISS Makro-Planar lens design, is currently the fastest 100mm macro lens on the market.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-29-at-10.57.37-e1506680267239.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-29 09:44:53","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110843"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111048,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110843\/revisions\/111048"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110843"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=110843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
