what animal would you like to photograph most

[Cazzie]

Has to be a Kingfisher for me too... so quick... so elusive!

[snowhound]

Polar bears, tigers, black panthers and cheetahs (but I'm not the best photographer!)

I'd love to get a decent action shot of a gannet diving from underwater. I can see the photo in my head, I just have to make it work (which will take a bit of time and money on a super-wide angle lens + housing!). Otherwise, i'm just dying to get back into diving after a year of health issues so I'll take anything!

Nitsch: If you are ever in the west coast of Scotland, check out Whale and Wildlife watching boat trips from Oban, Argyll - Sealife Adventures Cruises Scotland. or www.seafari.com (Oban). They both run trips out past Golden eagles, and if you've got a half decent zoon lens you can get some good shots there. I spent a summer working for sealife adventures as a tour guide and got to watch a GE chick grow up and have its first flight Pretty stunning stuff!

I'd love to photograph much the same animals as those I love to paint, apart from Gorillas which I don't have so much desire to paint but would love to see and photograph them in the wild. I'd also love to do underwater photography but I imagine that's even more expensive!!.. there's a whole array of wonders in the water I'd like to photograph.

Texture is a huge part of my paintings and I would love to get some close-up photographs of the animals below.

1. Rhinos
2. Gorillas
3. Elephants
4. Crocs/Gators
5. Komodo Dragon

Allthough I've only just purchased my Camera set-up, and intend on using it for mainly bird photography. I love the Great Outdoors and most wildlife, I do a fair it of walking on Dartmoor. I would love to capture some good shots of Otters, on the rivers in Devon. I've not seen any but I'm sure they are around somewhere.

Mine are the Meerkat and Komodo Dragon
because i like the way the meerkats are a big family and look out for each other. And I like the Komodo dragon because its the most powerful lizaed in the world. One bite your dead, it can run at surprising speeds and its an impressive lookin brute.

* pedant mode on *

did you mean what animal would we most like to photograph ? or were you really asking which one we wanted to regularly take pictures of ?

* pedant mode off *

I would most like to photograph an albatross chick , but i wouldnt want to do that regularly due to disturbance issues (and also because getting to tristan de cunha is a complete pain )

*pedant mode back on* and actually the lethality of the komodos bite isnt down to the stength of its jaws but the fact that bacteria present in its saliva will stop the wound healing and give you sepsis *pedant mode off again*

In this country, to start with, I just wish my avian subjects would stay still long enough for a decent photograph but I would also love to see and photograph polecats, stoats, etc.

In the rest of the world, I guess almost anything but if I had to make a choice of, say, two it would be pandas and big cats.

[captaincarot]

for me otters
and a calling natterjack toad.

and for the people wanting to photograph kingfishers.

i have had around 20 of them sat within 12 feet of me, the secret get a fishing rod, they can't resist sitting on the end of them,

peep blue flash then the rod tip is bouncing up and down and you have your kingfisher, getting a picture of it on the other hand is an entirely different prospect
