My name is Jason Polak and I'm a wildlife photographer. This channel is a combination of wildlife photography, gear reviews, and darktable/open source photography tutorials.

All my videos are 100% AI free: I don't use generative AI, AI audio tools, or other AI content modification tools to make anything.
