Wildlife and adventure photography
A series to help you get great photographs (including wildlife) when travelling. The series includes volunteering and why it provides a serious alternative to traditional wildlife photography trips. It looks at some of the techniques photographers use to find subjects and get great results.
I also share some of my more unusual trips including visiting the wreck of the RMS Titanic and climbing mount Kilimanjaro.
This podcast is for those with an interest in photography, wildlife, conservation and adventure.
Wildlife and adventure photography
Safety first
There are a few things to consider when photographing wildlife as you'll often be off the beaten track. Here are a few of them:
- Who knows where you are?
- I suggest using "What3Words" as a way of letting people know where you are, or where you plan to be (find out more here).
- Have a good paper map and think about your 'plan B' options.
- Wear appropriate clothing (especially footwear).
- Be prepared for changes in the weather.
- Have a basic first aid kit suitable for where you are going.
- Follow a river (downstream) if all else fails!
- Carry a resilient form of id (for the work case scenario).
- Use insect repellent.
You want to have a successful and enjoyable trip, and a little forethought and planning should keep it that way!
