the intent of this thread is very basic: an attempt to give members of and visitors to the forum hints and suggestions on
1 finding wild life photographic opportunities
2 what you might do when you find them - techniques
3 "wild life" is being defined here as any animal, bird, insect, etc excluding pets in your home or the neighbor's home - this means " wild life " found in zoos, " wild life " parks such as Disney etc. are ok
please help add to the knowledge and suggestions in this thread, it will need a lot of both
I'll start:
1 look out your window, regardless if it is happenstance or you use " attracting substances " " wild life " can be all around you and you may not have noticed
- got flowers ??? look closely for " pollinators ",
- no flowers - look for spider webs and insects attracted to your homes and its protection
- rodents such as squirrels, raccoons, opossums/possums, rabbits etc, etc, etc, and so forth and so on
birds of all types
decide if you are going for the " capture and release " system ( bringing such subjects, if possible, into an inside studio ) or attempt to photograph in place
will you " filter " through a window or screen or not
( if you have seen my posts, you know that I am a beginner, so I will leave hints on techniques to others who, hopefully will fill in the gaps )
[ well, this is a start, hopefully others will add to it ]
