A photography and wildlife blog
I led the first of my series of "Weekend Warrior" workshops this weekend taking some really great young photographers away for the weekend, leaving Bangalore early on Saturday and returning on Sunday afternoon... Sloth bears (yes plural), being one of the highlights of this trip!
When out shooting wildlife, I have a general looping thought process for taking images, so that I am always ready for a surprise appearance, and can then make the most of each chance!
I am frequently asked, “How did you get that shot?” to which I answer vaguely “time”. However, there are some very particular steps I go through in order to get my shots, and I am going to share them with you using a recent picture as an example.
It does not matter how good your camera is, or how much your lens costs, because without batteries and memory cards, they are worthless!
I came across Andries on JungleDragon (a wildlife community website). Not only does he have some fantastic images, but some jaw-dropping wildlife stories from his time working in the wilds of Namibia!
Shooting in low light conditions is tough enough, so how can we shoot in dark? Well... bring you own light.. Any light!
Here is another one from the archives... A quick 3 day jaunt to Jerusalem in Israel back in 2011.
