    Wonderful video and captures, you just get better and better! My only pet peeve is the mob at the roadside, not that you show it but that it is the reality of shooting in the areas you do. I do not like being around other people when I shoot. I can see the pluses; they do let you know something has been found but if I want a crowd I can shoot in a zoo. Any way your videos are getting to be so good, you have put in your time, and you have got the gains to show it. I love the environmental shots; it tells so much more of a story. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to the next post.

    • @wattswildlifephoto
      @wattswildlifephoto  9 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! Yeah, I agree the mob can get quite annoying. I’d rather shoot without it, but that’s kinda the unfortunate reality of photography in these parks. Still, the opportunities can be worth it! I appreciate the feedback on the video, and am glad you enjoyed! Have a great week.

      It can be at times, but it’s all about being aware of your surroundings and reading behavior. For the most part, they give you plenty of warnings before they charge/attack. They’ll let you know if you need to back off. If you know how to read their behavior properly, 99% of the time you’ll be just fine.
