Wildlife Photo Chat Ray Hennessy

This week we catch up with what Ray has been up to lately with warblers and then share our thoughts and feelings about locations becoming popular and potentially very busy.

Brad and I catch up on his efforts with a local Belted Kingfisher, then we answer a listener question from Mark Deschner who asks for tips on how to make the most of spring migration for someone who can only get out about once a week.

This week we chat about Brad’s plans and scouting for a Belted Kingfisher and Ray is going to check on his Kingfisher setup. Then we disucss a recent wildlife contest, it’s winning images and how sometimes they may not feel unique. Lastlly we wrap up with a discussion about how to work towards capturing unique photos that truly stand out from the masses.

Brad and I discuss photographing wildlife in urban locations and including man-made objects and lighting in the photos.

My guest Aaron Todd joins me to discuss his love and passion for photographing waterfowl, how he is working to capture unique images, and how he photographs ducks with urban lights.

This week as usual we catch up on our past week of shooting, Ray is a bit sick, and we finish our stories of our most challenging photos from listener Simon Staiger’s question.
