SIMPLIFY your Wildlife Photography | Five EASY Steps

Nature and wildlife photography is much more than the gear. It's the experience of using your senses to see, touch, hear, and smell nature and listen to what nature is trying to tell and teach us during the photography process. Today, I share a few tips and lessons I've learned about slowing down in our lives and in photography to capture amazing shots and learn to focus on the art rather than the gear. Come along the lakeshore and relax with me as I capture birds, turtles, wildflowers, and more. Summer is about here. The lake is blooming with colors and wildlife, and it's a great day for slow living with my camera in a chaotic world.

I think the most important step is right there in your title, "simplify." Too often we overthink things and make them more complicated than they need to be. This, of course, also takes the fun out of it. Just enjoy it.

[@prestongrindle]

Another great video. Calm, relaxing and as always inspiring Love the b-roll you included. Very well done.

[@WildwatchNature]

[@katekoebler1505]

Excellent video! Loved your shots. Have been depressed and you lifted my mood. Have had more than a week of rain. Only been outside in my backyard with my dogs during a couple breaks in the rain. My bird feeders have provided a pair of Cardinals and a pair of Red Bellied Woodpeckers that show up consistently.
Thank you for your motivation.

[@KevinNordstrom]

I love the cardies! I, too, have been depressed lately. Keep your head up, Kate. It's OK to have bad days. There are good days ahead. I'm glad my videos encourage you.
