The tour leaders and two participants recall a great trip with Geoff Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>With travel getting easier, AP has teamed up with world-renowned tour specialist Zoom Photo Tours on a wide variety of trips, in the UK and abroad. This second trip, <strong>The Wildlife of Costa Rica<\/strong>, took place earlier in the year. It was led by photographers, artists and film makers Iris and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexandrovklum.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mattias Alexandrov Klum<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As top Swedish photographer Mattias explains, the tour stayed in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforests, in some great accommodation \u2013 including the San Gerardo De Dota Trogon Lodge and the Tarcoles Macaw Lodge. \u2018You fall asleep and wake up to the remarkable voices of the rainforest. We tried to be quite general and holistic in our approach, since all the participants had different needs and requests. So we included anything from macro techniques and how to compose your frames to how to establish yourself in the realm of photography.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_173573&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mattias-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"173573\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mattias-3.jpg\" alt=\"Volcano Sky in costa rica by Alexandrov Klum 1\/640sec at f\/14, ISO 640 \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Volcano Sky by Alexandrov Klum 1\/640sec at f\/14, ISO 640<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>So what did the students find the hardest and most challenging part of the trip? \u2018Perhaps implementing the new knowledge and lessons we passed on,\u2019 says Mattias. \u2018When you see or experience something beautiful and exotic that you\u2019ve never seen before, you tend to play it safe instead of trying out new ideas and techniques. But that will come later.\u2019\u00a0Mattias and Iris also gave participants feedback on their images, including portfolio reviews and editing tips.<\/p>\n<p>What are Mattias\u2019s tips for making the most of a nature photography trip? \u2018If you are after images of remarkable wildlife like monkeys, sloths and birds, long lenses and fast-focusing cameras with fast burst rates are of course very useful. If you\u2019re into insects, reptiles, spiders and let\u2019s say orchids, macro equipment and flash units will come in very handy, too.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_173576&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Green-Basilisk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"173576\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Green-Basilisk.jpg\" alt=\"Green Basilisk, taken by Sally Hooton 1\/400sec at f\/4.5, ISO 1600\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Green Basilisk, taken by Sally Hooton 1\/400sec at f\/4.5, ISO 1600<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>For this trip, Iris and Mattias Alexandrov Klum took the <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/reviews\/compactsystemcameras\/fujifilm-x-h2s-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fujifilm X-H2S<\/a> and the high-resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/reviews\/compactsystemcameras\/fujifilm-gfx100s-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GFX 100S<\/a>. The main lens for the X-H2S was the <a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/reviews\/lenses\/fujifilm-fujinon-xf-150-600mm-f5-6-8-r-lm-ois-wr-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R<\/a>, while a wide range of GF lenses were used, from a 23mm prime to the 45-100mm F4 R zoom.<\/p>\n<h3>Feedback from Costa Rica holiday participants<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Two AP readers were amongst the participants on the trip,<\/strong>\u00a0William Malcolm and Sally Hooton. \u2018Costa Rica has been high on my list on a long time \u2013 I am a novice photographer but was keen to go,\u2019 said Sally. \u2018As well as photography, we learned a lot about the <strong>environment and climate<\/strong> of Costa Rica, too.\u2019 William is a more experienced photographer, but also got plenty out of the trip.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_173575&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 920px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bill-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"173575\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bill-3.jpg\" alt=\"A female Great Currasow taken by Sally Hooton 1\/80sec at f\/5, ISO 1600\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A female Great Currasow taken by Sally Hooton 1\/80sec at f\/5, ISO 1600<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve been interested in photography for decades and this Zoom tour was an incredibly good experience. We found it about as we subscribe to AP, and are now looking to go to Tanzania with Zoom Tours next year.\u2019 As William explains, the photographic opportunities exceeded his expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It was amazing, from the birds through to the big crocodiles and iguanas. The insects were great too. Every two or three nights we did night photography walks through the rainforest, another great experience. We learned lots about trying different things beyond the clich\u00e9 shot, looking at the surroundings and being encouraged by Mattias to think about what\u2019s different, what is there apart from that really nice bird sitting in a tree? Gear-wise, I took a Canon 600mm, which was great, but I found I couldn\u2019t change lenses fast enough, so I\u2019ve now invested in a Canon 100-500mm for more flexibility on such trips.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_173574&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bill-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"173574\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Bill-1.jpg\" alt=\"Iguana feeding on high leaves, taken by William Malcolm 1\/3200sec at f\/11, ISO 3200\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Iguana feeding on high leaves, taken by William Malcolm 1\/3200sec at f\/11, ISO 3200<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Getting artistic<\/h3>\n<p>Mattias and Iris form a creative partnership, so the trip wasn\u2019t just about photographic capture, but editing too. \u2018Iris is more the \u201cartistic\u201d side of the duo, and she did a lot on editing,\u2019 Sally explains. \u2018She was very instructive, particularly with the Snapseed app. They use Lightroom more, though, which Bill was using.\u2019 Sally concludes by describing the trip as \u2018life affirming.\u2019 \u2018Everyone was so generous with their time and looked after us so well.
