A brief Barn Owl encounter - Wildlife Photography
Просмотров 2345 лет назад
Back with wildlife photography for this video and it's one of my favourite species of british wildlife, the barn owl. Barn Owls are so beautiful but can be challenging subjects as they are active close to dawn and dusk. Photographing Owls requires a lot of patience, as with all birds of prey, and I've spent many, many hours of my life doing barn owl photography. In this video I manage to get so...

    I can honestly say we have so much in common when it comes to photographing. I am into wildlife, and nature as well. That is where I feel more comfortable at myself. When photographing people that is where I shy up at. I can't find the courage in doing that. So I do hope if you haven't already find the comfort in doing that. Thanks for sharing.

    I caught a rear fanged night snake two nights ago. I went out last night and saw nothing. Usually I see a couple rattlesnakes on the hwy. Do you go road cruising in the UK. In Tucson, Arizona were I live we just drive down desert roads at night. I pic up baby rattlers all the time with mulehide gloves. It doesn't hurt them at all. I free handle AZ Coral snakes all the time. I would not handle a Texas or Florida Coral snake that way. I would love to have a pair of European Adders. I would breed them and when the young got big enough say 14 inches. I would release them in good habitat areas. Right now I breed Ackies in Tucson AZ USA.

      Sorry I don't know what got into me. You know plenty about Adders. I would love some pet ones. That zig zag stripe running down an Adders back. Is just too cool, and the red cats eye pupils are so wicked looking. I bet they are very docile snakes. I bet you could calm them down and handle them very easily.

    Great topic, worth discussing. My two cents: a successful commercial photographer has always been the guy who is good at marketing and selling themselves. Platforms like RUclips make that easier today, if you happen to have an entertaining style and compelling personality.

      Local to me is a great spot for Adders, in the past I’ve been taking photos for 20 mins or so and then noticed another Adder within half a metre of the original one. Once you’ve spotted one in the wild and you then know what to look for it makes it easier from there on, not what you want to hear I suppose but you will get better.

    I really loved this. I was bitten by an Adder in the New Forest when I was 12 (I am 51 now - see, I am alive lol) after I accidentally crouched down too close beside one, having not seen it. I have been fascinated with them in later years. I used to go out looking for them where I used to live in Fleet, Hampshire. I never saw a thing. But Sod's law - I saw two but on both occasions had my dog with me and nothing more than an iPhone 3! I have subscribed and look forward to putting your great advice into practice. Thank you for sharing your 'failure' with us :-)
