When out shooting wildlife, I have a general looping thought process for taking images, so that I am always ready for a surprise appearance, and can then make the most of each chance!

I am frequently asked, “How did you get that shot?” to which I answer vaguely “time”. However, there are some very particular steps I go through in order to get my shots, and I am going to share them with you using a recent picture as an example.

It does not matter how good your camera is, or how much your lens costs, because without batteries and memory cards, they are worthless!

I came across Andries on JungleDragon (a wildlife community website). Not only does he have some fantastic images, but some jaw-dropping wildlife stories from his time working in the wilds of Namibia! 

Shooting in low light conditions is tough enough, so how can we shoot in dark? Well...  bring you own light..  Any light!

Here is another one from the archives... A quick 3 day jaunt to Jerusalem in Israel back in 2011.

Here's a quick tip to make your nighttime sky go 'boom' with one simple trick in adobe lightroom!

"What lens should I get next?" is a common question I am asked and it is not a simple answer. But one little trick i use to help me decide which lens i should buy next is to examine my current lens/focal length usage. By looking at this information you can see if you need a direct lens upgrade, or to go longer/wider...  I hope this video helps! :)

Photography is expensive, so I try and take advantage of any little cash-saving tips i can (without impacting images of course).  Shoot.fr just released a great little video of what can be hacked out of IKEA goods (I miss IKEA in India). So for all you guys who can get to an IKEA...  you should check these out! :)

I like TED talks, but this one by Trey Ratcliff is great....  worth a watch! :)

Bhitarkanika in Odisha, is a lesser known national park, but well worth the visit if you are in the area. It is famous for  The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) with nearly 10%  of them over 6 meters long. I found it fantastic for king fishers, and i was pretty much alone the whole day I spent there!
