Originally posted by LeDave Where do you guys typically go for wildlife shots? Do you guys often do it in your backyard?
wildlife is everywhere
often it depends on how exotic you want it to be
we have a tiny yard in the middle of town
we get a lot of shots just using our house as a barcalounger-equipped hide
we have vultures, ducks, hawks, turkeys, song birds, deer, raccoons, opossum, groundhogs, window peepers and dope smokers show up
ohh...bugs! lots of bugs.
some days I just walk a few miles and see what I can see
others i load up the car and get urban, suburban and rural exposures in a four hour period
it says you are in mpls
any direction you go there's something
your state has an excellent park system
you have parks and natural areas all around you
the river is just a few miles east..deer and eagles
run south to Rochester then east to winona and back home
whitewater is a very good stop...maybe you'll see a rattlesnake in the bluffs
north puts you in the pine woods
a three day weekend would fill a couple of sd cards
good luck and have fun!
