The Wildlife Photography Workshop

by Ross Hoddinott, Ben Hall (Illustrator)

Wildlife watchers and aspiring natural-history photographers—collect up your kit and get ready for a practical course with a difference

Photographic workshops are exceptionally popular but not everybody has the time or budget to attend one in person. This "workshop in book form" allows you to absorb the benefits of the workshop experience without actually being on location with the professionals. Whatever your level of experience, this comprehensive book will help you improve and capture better photographs whether you are a beginner or an enthusiast who wants to brush up on some skills. Be guided by the authors’ breadth of knowledge and follow the progression of technical advice. Chapters dedicated to different types of wildlife give hands-on advice of how to locate, approach, and photograph your subject using insider tricks of the trade.

For those of us who have a hard enough time finding time for our photography, finding time for a workshop or conference can be really challenging! This book is designed for people like me and it was very informative. Some things I knew, some things I learned and some things I'm going to try! Great pictures were scattered throughout. What I really appreciated were the creative assignments at the end of the book. Homework can be fun!

This was a great gift! I read this book in conjuction with my camera's instructions and was able to improve my abilities to take wildlife and nature photos. Note that the book mentions "baiting" as a means to take some photos and that goes against my personal ethics. Other than that, I recommend the book to anyone who wants to know more about photography.

Another great book for new DSLR users. Lots of tips and guidance for nature photos, like "gardening" before you take flower pics etc and does and don't s on handling animals etc.
