In a previous post I shared the idea of visiting the same location more than once. Especially when you have a wildlife subject that is ‘reliable’ and ‘cooperative.’ When we refer to ‘reliable’ that means that when you go, chances are near 100% that the species is there. […]
Wildlife photography is quite a challenge. A major part of the challenge is the accessibility and cooperative nature of your wildlife subject.
