Tuesday Tips #314 – Spring is in Sight

If you have ever had an interest in nature or wildlife photography, there is no better time to try your hand at it than spring. Animals are just as excited as us human folk that the sun is shining and the snow and ice are gone. The likelihood of coming across varied wildlife that you wouldn’t have seen even just a weeks ago is great so don’t hesitate — have at it!

Our friend Tricia Bovey wrote a fabulous article on capturing great shots of wildlife a few months ago and one of our favorite tips she shared was: : “The most valuable way to learn about your subject is to simply spend time, in nature, observing them. The time I have spent at wildlife refuges just watching everything around me has been so instrumental in learning about wildlife and what to expect when I’m out with my camera.” Check out her beautiful photos and extra tips at the article here.

“The appeal of the wild for me is its unpredictability. You have to develop an awareness, react fast, be resourceful and come up with a plan and act on it.”
