North American Wildlife Viewing and Photography

When someone says wildlife, people thing of the vast Serengeti, the endless Sahara desert, and the greener than green Amazon Rainforest. Many people forget that there is amazing wildlife viewing abilities in our own country! Whether it is the Moose in the Northeast or the Caribou up north, our great land gives us so many opportunities to enjoy all kinds of splendid nature.

Photographing Wild animals can be pretty tough. Sometimes you have the wrong gear, sometimes it's the weather, and sometimes, you don't see anything. Photography is an art, you have to be able to perform under pressure. Even if you know everything about it, you have to be able to do everything when your subject is right infront of you. One thing you have to understand is that wildlife photography is not controllable. When taking a picture of someone, you can tell them to stand a specific way, you can change the lighting, and you can manipulate the subject to suit the image. You can't do that here. You have to work with what you have. You can't ask a 700 pound bear to change how they are positioned. The subject manipulates you.
