Inside the Latest Issue
There & Back Again
All too often, photography related gear guides focus on the wrong stuff. When it comes gear for winter wildlife photography, our priority comes down to two things: gear we need to access the wildlife, and the gear we need to ensure we make it back home safely.
Over Exposed by Design
High key photography opens new doors for wildlife photography. More than just being a strategy for overcoming certain lighting challenges in the field, however, high key photography is also a goal unto itself. If you are someone who is interested in fine art photography and selling prints, this is an article you don’t want to miss.
Weather & Wildlife
Winter is the eye of the needle that all life must pass to survive on Earth. Because this can be a matter of life and death, animals respond in predictable ways to winter weather. Understanding this allows us to also predictably find and photograph animals all winter long. If you take your wildlife photography seriously, you do not want to miss this feature.
Latest Episode of the PhotoWILD Podcast
Episode 21: Photographing Bald Eagles and Manual Makes Everything Easier
Bald eagles are one of the largest, most majestic, and acrobatic raptors in all of North America. In this episode, your hosts discuss spending 10 days photographing eagles in Alaska and how you can dramatically improve your bird in flight photography by simplifying everything you are doing in the field.
Got Noise?
Let’s face it, wildlife photography tends to occur at the worst times of the day for photography. While everyone wants the soft warm light of golden hour, the animals rarely cooperate. Instead, we are more often forced to shoot in low light, with high ISO settings, that have the ability to ruin otherwise amazing opportunities. In this article, you will learn how to overcome noise in lowlight photography. Not by using software like Topaz. Not by refusing to ever push your ISO. But instead, believe it or not, by actually increasing your ISO.
This article will change the way you think about noise and ISO forever.
