A couple of weeks ago at Garden of the Gods, 2 young deer were testing their horns out.

We saw fresh droppings all morning long up the mountain and kept wondering where these big guys were hiding. Finally ran into them down low in the afternoon just chilling in the shade.

Wanting to Be Better at Wildlife Photography

Post by mckennacu »

Hi everyone,
I am a photography student and would like to get to better at shooting wildlife specifically. My favorite subjects are animals, and my bucket list is to see a bear in the wild! Whenever I go to places that are said to have wildlife, I usually end up short (besides small birds). Do you have any tips, tricks and advice for a beginner in this subject?

Thank you,
McKenna
