How you portray your subject can make all the difference in the world. In short \u2013 try to get an eye-level perspective. This brings the viewer of your image right into the scene and confronts them with the view of the world from your subject\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>PATIENCE ISN\u2019T A VIRTUE\u2026IT\u2019S A NECESSITY<\/h4>\n<p>Things in nature are unpredictable. Anything can happen at any time. It is therefore imperative that you become patient\u2026very patient. I catch myself out frequently enough being very impatient. Essentially, it\u2019s almost a culmination of many of the things we\u2019ve discussed so far. Observing your subjects, getting to know their behavioural patterns, requires a great deal of patience<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2015 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/monkey-forest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/grahamquinnwebsite-668x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0BE THERE &amp; ENJOY IT<\/h4>\n<p>By this I don\u2019t just mean you need to physically show up and you need to be at the right place at the right time \u2013 of course, that applies \u2013 but I actually mean you need to be in the moment and don\u2019t get caught up so much with the technical issues and your settings that you don\u2019t take in the moments you are witnessing while out photographing animals and wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>We need to be mindful of the privilege of spending time in nature and being in places where the hand of man hasn\u2019t quite exerted its full force yet. Maybe for you it\u2019s just the most isolated spot in your local park where you can sit and observe and photograph squirrels and birds, maybe it\u2019s facing a wild Kodiak bear on the Alaskan floodplains or capturing the behaviours of the macaques at Trentham. Regardless, enjoy what you are doing! Have fun doing it! What does it help us to spend so much time on this amazing hobby-cum-art form if we are not enjoying the time spent?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>To learn more about wildlife photography why not join Graham at Trentham Monkey Forest on the 20<sup>th<\/sup> July for his <a href=\"https:\/\/monkey-forest.com\/upcoming-events\/\">Photography Workshop<\/a>.
