Watching redwings eating berries is a lovely experience…watching them eating a worm, not so much! 🤢 So, why am I sharing this, erm, lovely image? Well, portrait images are bread and butter for a wildlife photographer - there is a reason why the portrait category is usually the most popular in wildlife photography competitions. But, more often than not, our aim is to capture the unique behaviours of the species we have chosen to point our lens at. Not only can images of these moments reveal fascinating insights into the lives of the animals, but they also demonstrate that our subjects are relaxed enough around us to behave naturally in our presence. However, as an amateur wildlife photographer, you might struggle to have enough time with a subject to witness these behaviours. Well, there is one activity that all animals need to do - fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and everything has to eat. In my latest blog, I explain what you should look out for to increase your chances of photographing feeding time for your local wildlife: https://lnkd.in/eaz-Fezg #WildlifePhotography #WildlifePhotographer #NatureWriting #NatureWriter #Blogger #AmWriting #Photography

As a wildlife photographer, the welfare of my subject is the priority. The last thing I want to do is disturb the roe deer I photograph, and I have a few methods that I use to ensure my presence doesn’t cause them any stress. However, all those techniques - using my voice for recognition, slowing down or changing the direction of my approach, pretending to browse on vegetation, sitting down - rely on me seeing the deer before they see me or before I get too close to them. There have been a few times where I've almost literally stumbled across a resting deer and we've both jumped out of our skins - an upsetting and frustrating experience. But how could I stop it from happening? I started to see more articles and adverts mentioning thermal imaging and it piqued my interest. I knew that people tracking and monitoring wildlife used the technology, but I hadn't considered using it for my photography. However, I had some money saved for new equipment and decided to investigate if it would be worthwhile buying a thermal monocular. In my latest blog, I explain how I’m now using thermal imaging to avoid disturbing my local roe deer and capture images like this one. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dStrVt-M #blogger #WildlifePhotography #NatureWriting #WildlifePhotographer #NatureWriter #Photography #Photographer #AmWriting

Wildlife photography is a genre of photography concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat. As well as requiring photography skills, wildlife photographers may need field craft skills. For example, some animals and birds are difficult to approach and thus a knowledge of the animal's and birds behavior is needed in order to be able to predict its actions. Photographing some species may require stalking skills or the use of a hide/blind for concealment. While wildlife photographs can be taken using basic equipment, successful photography of some types of wildlife requires specialist equipment, such as macro lenses for insects, long focal length lenses for birds and underwater cameras for marine life. #wildlifephotography #nature #wildlife

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY; A SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE 🤩 ~ Camouflage and remote triggers are essential tools for any wildlife photographer. 📸🐧 ~ By blending into their surroundings with the help of camouflage clothing and equipment, photographers can get closer to their subjects for the perfect shot. ~ Additionally, using remote triggers allows photographers to capture images without disturbing their subjects. These techniques not only help photographers capture stunning images, but also minimize the impact on the natural environment. 🐬🦈📸🐍 ~ Take the pride of the whales as a case study, these animals portray the intuitive intentionality of the history untold and foretold. Notwithstanding, the birth of wildlife conservation is a step to a new world of beauty. WHO AGREES WITH ME?☝️👆📸🤩 #WildlifePhotography #Camouflage #RemoteTriggers

We live in an image-mad world. In fact, more photos were taken in the last two years than in the entire history of photography before that. So, has this made us blasé to the power of a single image? I think not; check out these fine examples if you doubt me. #photography #photos #pictures #awards #winners #images #nature #photographers https://lnkd.in/gUyeurgq
