well I NEVER 🥹❤️

there are now 1500+ of us in this little community - I can’t believe it!! thank you SO much for your help and encouragement and support.

if you’re new here: at the end of last year, I set myself a BIG challenge to learn how to solo produce, film & edit long-form videos… and also to share my love for nature a bit more confidently, after a career change. I’m still learning and trying to get better every day, but I can’t believe how far we’ve come!

There are lots more videos on the way… wildlife photography, outdoorsy adventures, camera equipment changes, hikes, runs, nature… maybe a bit of bushcraft? ;) it’s just me behind this channel, so if you have any ideas for topics or locations, throw a comment on a video and let me know!! We’re in it together.

Lots of love - and thanks again,
Dani xx

Friends, it’s the final few days of my bucket list solo photography trip in South Africa - then I’ll be back home!! ❤️

I’ve started editing the first YouTube video… all about my experience with the Sigma 150-600mm lens & photo results (😬). I’ll try and turn the video around as fast as possible. Maybe give me a week? Let’s see how much I can get done on the plane ;)

I can’t wait to share the adventures with you. x

Friends - sending a big hello and even bigger thank you. I can’t quite believe it, but we’re now a little community of 1000+ people 🥹❤️

If you’ve been here since the beginning, a few months ago - THANK YOU - and if you’re newer here, WELCOME!! It’s so lovely to have you here 🙏✨

I’m new to YouTube video filming and editing… but giving it a go, and learning in realtime. My promise is to try and make each video a tiny bit better than the last (we’ve come a long way if you scroll back… maybe don’t scroll back 🤣) I hope that together we can build a kind and uplifting space for adventure, nature and camera lovers to share their passions, insights and love for the outdoors 💚

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that I’m currently on my bucket list solo trip to South Africa, on safari with the Nikon Z50ii and Sigma lens. All I can say is WOW!! (the experience, the animals, the lens… not my photos 🤣) I can’t wait to share stories with you soon.

Lots of love,
Dani xx

editing today - fuelled by LOTS of tea and sunny skies!! video 20 is on the way… and if you like crazy outdoor adventures, this one is for YOU 💚

question: is it helpful for me to schedule the video as a “premiere” when it’s ready? I’m not sure if it’s useful to have a scheduled launch date/time. if not, I’ll just pop it live randomly.

can’t wait to hear what you think 🌿🫶

YouTube fam... slightly crazy update. I've been shortlisted for 2026 "Future Presenter" by the Edinburgh TV Festival!! I'm totally thrilled, and wanted to share the news with you first. This weird, wild, wonderful new life chapter is honestly nothing without you being here. Thank you so much for all of your encouragement over the last 5 months. It really means the world 💖

While I'm here - quick video update: I'm nearly there with the next wildlife photography adventure edit!! Hoping to post at the weekend. I'll schedule a 'premiere' thing again, so you know when it's coming 😊
