Wildlife photography is a challenge. It requires patience, dedication, determination, frequent visits to your favorite locations, all mixed in with a bit of serendipity. But why does it seem that some wildlife photographers are “luckier” than others? Today I will share with you the tips and techniques I use to help make you one of the “luckier ones.” I’ll discuss important concepts such as lighting, composition, proper head and body angles, backgrounds, time of day and many other aspects to improve your captures. While there are numerous other aspects that contribute to good image capture, these are some of the keys. It’s my desire to share my passion, enthusiasm and knowledge with you.
