Last Friday I was fortunate enough to be asked to give a presentation on wildlife photography to a group from Two Rivers Photography Club, of which I am a member. I’m not very good at giving these talks but as I do more of them, I think I’m getting better at it! I basically wanted to help some of the newer photographers get started in wildlife photography. Everyone always thinks it has to be extremely expensive to shoot wildlife and I wanted to dispel that notion. (Although you can spend an insane amount of money if you wish!)
So I thought that I would share some of the images with you all that I shared with the club. Nothing fantastic, but I wanted to show them that even a guy like me can get out there and enjoy the world that many people never get to see. I’m a pretty lucky guy!

And to end the program, I shared a poem by Mary Oliver that very eloquently captures my feelings about being out in nature. Several of the attendees asked me to send them a copy of the poem, so here you go!
