For those of you posting photos and wanting more views and engagement, a tip. Use you photo as an opportunity to add more context for the viewer, educating them, making them spend more time on your post, and giving them a reason to comment other than "nice picture". Social media algorithms will reward you. For example...

I was happy to get this photo of a penguin preening on a recent trip. I didn't know I'd captured it at the time, but I got a good view of the barbs on the inside of it's mouth. These are called papillae, and importantly are faced inwards, helping the penguin hold slippery catches, assisting swallowing the food, and even allowing it to keep adding fish to one dive, stacking them in a row in it's mouth. You may have seen photos before of puffins with many fish in its beak...they use the same structures. Did you learn something new today?

Another chance to educate up-and-coming wildlife photographers. One of the best ways to make your photos stand out is to show off or exaggerate any features that your subject species is known for. In this case, this gular pouch is used by this species as a fishing net, heat management device, and mate attraction feature. When used for fishing, they can catch fish with it, then drain the water before swallowing. Contrary to the belief of some, it's not used to store food, but can be used to temporarily hide food from potential thieves, like gulls.

One the best opportunities to get interesting poses from animals is during preening or grooming. Unusual head positions, fluffed up feathers or fur, and the "looking backwards" pose are all great chanced to grab a few pics. I liked this one particularly because of the fluffed up back feathers that make a beautiful pattern. Note that I positioned the boat for my tour guests and I such that the background was dark, to make a nice contrast.

Stay tuned for a chance to win a portfolio review!

Hey everyone! Hope all is well. Had a great night last night with a live training event with the Journal of Wildlife Photography giving photo reviews and editing tips. 3500 people! Crazy! Folks were great! I also announced a sale on my two courses, one on wildlife photography and the other on processing wildlife photos in Lightroom Classic /Adobe Camera Raw. 5 and 10 hours of video content respectively. Both courses are usually $497 USD but are both $150 off, $347 USD each. Or a bundle of both for $350 USD off! If you’re interested, comment below and I’ll message you a link, or message me. 3 people who buy a course between now and May 31st will also win a live portfolio review, by me! Hope I can help you get out there, explore our world, and get your best ever wildlife photos. I know you can do it!

Also, share your best wildlife photo below in the comments, to help inspire other photographers to be their best!!

I sometimes hear people saying "it must be nice to take wonderful wildlife pictures when you can travel the world and see exotic game". While this is partly true, one of the pieces of advice I often give is "if you can't find uncommon subjects, take uncommon photos of the common ones". This is a reminder that there are beautiful creatures everywhere, even a local duck pond, and if you play your cards right, you can get good photos from the most common of subjects. In this case, I saw this gosling hide under a wing, and I guessed that if it would poke its head out, it would make a very nice photo. I only had to wait 10 minutes handholding a 5 kb/10lbs lens/camera rig...

(Edit: not taking any more submissions) Are you a wildlife photographer? On Thursday May 21st I’m hosting a live image critique and processing workshop with The Journal of Wildlife Photography where I’ll critique some of the photos submitted and I’ll even process some live. We’ll even give away a print AND a draw for 3 participants to get a whole portfolio review, scheduled later, by me! This is a great way of getting feedback on your photography and getting tips on how to improve not just your photography, but processing too. Comment below that you’re interested and I’ll send you the link. If you don’t allow messages, message me and I’ll message you the link back. See you there! .official

Given the Leopard is my favorite animal to photograph, it seems fitting that I help celebrate that May 3rd is International Leopard Day. The day is meant to raise awareness about the conservation of leopards, which are among the most adaptable big cats but are still facing serious threats like:
Habitat loss
Human-wildlife conflict
Poaching and illegal wildlife trade

I hope you enjoy some of my pics of these marvelous creatures.

Several of this species were frolicking around, poking their heads out of the water from time to time over a space about the size of a tennis court. The problem is, with my 600mm lens, I get to see only a field of view 4 degrees wide, so the size of a kiddie pool. Catching one of these popping out of the water, while on a bobbing boat myself, may have been one of hardest shots to get on my last trip.
