No words can explain what the photograph can do to connect that moment to the viewers. I fully agree with you and like the honesty of the words you have said here. Further, your suggestion to share our passion and the time to spend with the kids was an eye opener to me. Really, liked your article and thank you.

Hi Robert! Would you be able to recommend any gear for bayou environments, such as boots and insect deterrents? Thank you for sharing your passion and instruction!

Very nice article, well written and we perfectly feel ground experience talking :) one point : why taking care of WB if shooting raw during the golden hour ?

Robert, I have just recently started with wildlife photography and I found this article truly inspiring; I feel highly identified with all you wrote about all the feelings you describe in the article.
Thanks.

If you are shooting on a 600mm focal length and a shutter speed of 160, how is it possible to have a clear image when you are capturing wildlife handheld? What white balances do you recommend during magic hour with a Nikon Full frame camera?

I am so much enlightened and encouraged by going through this article and almost all the articles in Photography Life. I find articles by Nasim Mansurov, Spensor Cox so lucid and easy to understand and follow. I have Nikon D3300 with AF-P 18-55mm, AF-P 70-300mm and AF-S 35mm f/2.8 lenses. I am an amateur photographer. I wonder how Robert was able to shoot such magnificent photographs of birds and wild animals !! Wish all the PL teams all the best. Please keep writing for the beginners and amateurs…. Good night !!

Thanks so very much for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise. An important message is the accrual of Experience cannot be fast tracked :-) Beautiful images and you exhibit impressive proficiency with the Nikkor 600 on FX cameras. I use the 300 f2.8 with TC’s on either a Nikon Df and D500 , where the DX format confers narrower fields of view.
I work mainly in central and southern Africa, where all these principles apply, albeit it pays to be extra aware when privileged to walk in habitats still populated by large mammals. I have found working regular beats, so returning to “focal nodes” reaps dividends. So one can revisit organisms that use a patch of habit, where their occurrences are timed to particular seasons.
