Capturing the Wild: Photographing a Bear’s Catch of the Day
There are few wildlife moments more dramatic than a bear standing in a river, water surging around its legs, waiting for the perfect second to strike. One moment, the scene looks calm. The next, there is a flash of movement, a burst of spray, and a silver fish twisting in the air. For a wildlife photographer, it is exactly the kind of scene that makes all the early mornings, cold fingers and heavy camera bags worthwhile.
Travel Photography Mistakes to Avoid When Exploring Remote Areas
Every great travel photo begins before the shutter clicks. It starts in the way you read a place, in the patience you carry into unfamiliar streets, and in the small decisions that most photographers rush right past.
How to Look After your Photo Gear
It’s ironic that the hobbies that require the most expensive equipment are often those that require the fewest precautions. If you go skiing, you might leave a very expensive pair of skis outside a restaurant while you have lunch. If you play golf, you might leave a very expensive set of clubs outside the pro shop while you have a drink. And if you’re a photographer, you might leave a very expensive camera in a tent for a week! Crazy, right?
