Re: Beginnings and locations

Hi Chris,

A very warm welcome to WAB. In my limited experience, wildlife photography seems to be a mixture of luck and planning. Do your research and also ask around (WAB is great for that). You'll start to learn the best places to photograph certain species. Also, explore your local area and find out which bird or mammal species inhabit your local nature reserves or wild areas. I'm sure you've done that already. But you do need a good dose of luck as well if you want the animals to turn up at the right place and time!

What you've been doing sounds about right really. Often there's no easy way to photograph wildlife - that's what makes it such a challenge!

Matt
