Episode 22: Understanding Behavior is the Secret Sauce of Wildlife Photography
If you can’t find the animals, if you can’t predictable put them at ease and approach the animals, then you are going to have a very difficult time being a wildlife photographer. Every time we step into the field, we enter into a two-way conversation with every sentient being around us. What are they saying to us? And more importantly, what are we saying to them? This is the secret sauce in wildlife photography.
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.
