The Iberian Lynx of Peñalajo | Filmed with a Sony Cinema Line FX3 | Los Linces Ibericos de Peñalajo
In the peak of one of the hottest summers, we visited Finca Penalajo, nearby Ciudad Real in the heart of Spain. The goal was to film and photography the Iberian Lynx. An animal that just a couple of years back was on the brink of extinction. Encroachment of their habitat and relentless hunting nearly wiped out its entire population from the Iberian peninsula. But thanks to the combined efforts and the support of many organisations and conservation groups, the population of the Iberian Lynx has gone from barely 94 individuals in 2002 to promising 1365 Lynx in 2022. Due to the unconditional and restless work of so many, we can keep enjoying one of the most majestic and elegant animals I had the luck to witness: El Lince Iberico Filmed on the Sony Cinema Line FX3 and the Sony FE 200-600mm Gear used: Prograde V-90 Cards Leofoto LM-324C Tripod Sachtler ACE XL Tilta Max Cage Fxlion Nano One Edelkrone Focus One If you should have any questions on how this short film was filed, please leave a message below. #sonyalphain #sonyalphaindia #sonyalpha #createwithsony #wildlife #iberianwildlife #lynx #linceiberico #lince #bbcwildlife #fincapenalajo #naturalezaespaña #lynxcubs #wildwatchingspain #bbcearth #spainnature #bbcwildlifemagazine #videonaturaleza #wildlifefilmmaking #shortfilm #wildlifephotographer #sonycinemalinefx3 #sonyfx3 #prograde #leofoto #sachtleracexl #fotografiadenatureza #fotografiadefauna #natgeowild

Wildlife Film | Tiger on the Move | Filmed on the Sony Alpha A7s3 in Ranthambore National Park
Short Wildlife video, filmed on the Sony A7sIII in the Ranthambore National Park. It was a very special trip as it was the first time in 8 months that we left home. Due to Covid, the park was very empty and we had the chance to enjoy unique moments with India's wildlife, many times in absolute isolation. On our second day, we went to Zone 3 of the park. One of the most idyllic areas in Ranthambore. And we were extremely lucky to see this gorgeous youngster going for a morning kill, sneaking onto a group of nearby spotted deers. Unfortunately for her this time the result was negative (by the way as most of the times). Very special thanks to Angela for being a great companion and better scouter, to Hemraj Meena our guide and Ranthomber Hemraj our driver, as well as to Ravindra Jain and his entire team of Sawai Vilas for being a great host. @SonyAlphaUniverse @sonyindia @RanthambhorePark @Ranthamboretigerreserve @sawaivilas3960 @natgeoindia

Wildlife Film | Mongoose Hunting | Filmed on the Sony Alpha A7s3 in Ranthambore National Park
Second short film from our trip to Ranthambore National Park The Crab Hunter - Indian Mongoose hunting crabs Filmed on the Sony A7s3 Our first time in Zone 2 of the park, and it did not disappoint. Nearly to the end of the game drive we spotted a mongoose carefully looking between rocks in what seemed to be a dry river bed. And to our absolute surprise, it was actually looking for crabs and also managed to catch one. Thank god I still had my A7s3 rigged up, so I managed to quickly get into position and capture this sequence. One more time thanks to Angela for being there with me, to Hemraj Meena our guide and to Ranthomber Hemraj, our driver. And a special thanks to all of them for being very patient with my continued "filming, please don't move". And of course to Ravindra Jain and his entire team of Sawai Vilas for taking so good care of us. #sonyalphain #sonyalpha #createwithsony #wildlifefilm #indianwildlife #mongoose

Short Wildlife video, filmed on the Sony Cinema Line FX3 in the Naboisho Conservancy Area, Maasai Mara. The African Savannah is a very harsh environment for all its inhabitants.

The Gate Keeper | Bengal Tigers in Ranthambore National Park | Filmed on the Sony A7S3
Second short from our trip to Ranthambore National Park. On our last two days, we went to Zone 6 of the park. A great area despite that you actually have to drive through the Ranthambore village, which is quite a mess and extremely dirty. But then you enter this idyllic zone through one of the ancient city gates. Being it the afternoon drive, and following the instinct of our guide, we checked the walkway of the gate. "Tigers tend to rest here in the afternoon sun. And it's a good spot-out place for them", he said while reaching our destination. And he was spot on. A tigress with one of his male cubs was lying on the balustrade. We almost spend two hours observing them and getting this great footage. Very special thanks again to Angela for being a great companion and very patient with my continued "filming, please don't move", to Hemraj Meena our guide and Ranthomber Hemraj our driver, as well as to Ravindra Jain and his entire team of Sawai Vilas for being a great host.

Birds in the Marshlands of Gurgaon | Sony A7R4 | Wildlife Film by Alex F Buchholz
First short from one of our numerous excursion to photograph the Marshland Birds in Gurgaon During this pandemic situation, this has been one of the few moments we could leave our required isolation. Just 30 minutes from our home in Gurgaon you have a series of wet and marshland areas with an abundant amount of birds. From storks to eagles, over black-winged stilts and many others. Recorded on the Sony a7R4, which unfortunately gave up due to the extreme heat and humidity that day, hence a really "short", short. Nevertheless, we were able to capture some incredible images and also record some nice moments of the birds enjoying this habitat.

Tanzania Wildlife Safari | A Wildlife Film by Alex F Buchholz
4K Version of my Tanzania film. Best moments of our last Wildlife Photography trip to Tanzania, and my very first full wildlife video. (So apologies if the editing and colour grading is not yet perfect, and every well-meant comment is highly appreciated) This time we stayed in the Tarangire National Park, famous for its lush vegetation and the big elephant herds. And after a more laidback experience, we headed to the Ndutu Conservation Area, where we witnessed and experienced first hand the magic of the great migration. The frenetic action of hundred thousand of wildebeest, zebras and gazelle, with all mayor African predators as first row spectators and actors as well. Special thanks to Angela for being a great companion and the best scouter possible, to Frank Gabriel, our great guide, who made many of the shots possible, to Tom Schovsbo for organising this stunning trip, and to Lemala Camps for being incredible hosts. Most footage was taken with the Nikon D850, the camera that I also used mainly for my wildlife photography in Tanzania along with the Canon 1Dx Mark II. In addition, I used the Canon EOS R for B-Role as well as the DJI OSMO Pocket for stabilised sequences.
