Perhaps my favourite method for getting images of wildlife is stalking. In this video I explain the techniques i use to not only get close to wildlife but also to take images. The satisfaction of getting close to a wild animal without it knowing you are there, taking images and then slipping away is the ultimate wildlife photography high.
After The Harvest - Wildlife Photography as the Fields Open Up Again
The last few months it has been difficult to take pictures of the wildlife in my local area. With the fields full of arable crops most wildlife can pass un-noticed.

This weeks video is now up on Youtube. This week I go in search of red deer on Big Moor which believe it or not is just a few miles to the west of Sheffield. On a blustery day I also encounter the type of photographer who gives wildlife photographers a bad name. I had to do a lot of editing as I think you can tell with my voice I wasn't happy!! Anyway, enjoy the video and if you haven't yet subscribed please subscribe to the channel. A give away is on it's way when the channel reaches 1000! See you next week!
Roe Deer Photography with the Tamron 150-600 G2
This week I head to the edge of my local woodland to test the Tamron 150-600 G2 in very poor light conditions. I also manage to bump into a roe deer doe and her fawn who I haven’t seen for a good few weeks. It was really nice to bump into them and get a little bit of film of the youngster whoes certainly growing up!
