EXCELLENT! I found the 4 Ps to help with my wildlife photography here in Alaska. 1) Position. If in the mountains, use the hillside elevation to bet at or slightly below the eye level of the animal. Position to capture catchlight in the subject's eyes. Use the topography to position yourself so the animal feeds towards you with the first photos at eye level with the animal on the skyline of a hill. For perched birds and waterfowl, they typically lift off into the wind so position yourself with the wind at your back. Most wild mammals have a keen sense of smell, so position yourself with the wind in your face for wild mammals 2) Planning. Plan your position so the animal naturally comes towards you in a still position. Often a moose, caribou, or bear will come quite close with that type of planning. 3) Patience. Patience and let that "magic moment" happen naturally and the animal does not know you are there. 4) Persistence. Enjoy the journey and by visiting the same site many times you learn about the perfect location for light, background, and animal movements.
Thank you. I’ve watch this twice.

Great video. I enjoyed bacon and egg breakfast while listening to your words of encouragement to succeed. Brisbane Australia
Hahaha, love it! Bacon makes every video better!
