    I just put up this post that I grabbed last night. It looks like it will hopefully be a series of posts of before and after edit wildlife pics, highlighting all that goes into getting shots like these.

    While there is of course great skill involved taking the actual shot, they don’t just come straight off the camera looking this great by just taking one lucky photo.

        I thought it was amazing they took hundreds of photos to just get 1 or 2 good ones! That’s a lot just to sort through!

          Wildlife photography is particularly grueling, it’s basically the whole difficulty of hunting in finding the animals, but then an extra layer of difficulty for all the photo related stuff (lighting, composition, technicalities, shooting very long focal lengths and so on).

          That said, a few hundred clicks is not really a big deal, sometimes I come home from gigs with north of 3000 clicks for a single day of shooting. Is what it is.
