About

Welcome to my Channel. This Channel is all about helping you capture those special Wildlife Moments in Camera. I make Wildlife Photography Tutorials and 'In the Field' Photography Vlogs. If you'd like to learn with me in person on one of my Wildlife Workshops, visit my Course Website at: www.naturephotographycourses.co.uk Based in West Yorkshire, England, I'm a highly versatile nature photographer loving everything from local garden wildlife to the wild landscapes of Iceland. My biggest passion is Bird Photography and in these videos I'm passing on my 20+ years of knowledge. I've been in just about every situation I can think of - from building makeshift hides from branches and driftwood.. to immersing myself chest deep in freezing cold lakes (waders on of course!).

Learn more Tips & Tricks for Small Bird Photography with my E-Book: https://shorturl.at/T1dye In this video I spend a day at my local park capturing natural photos of small birds in the snow. Learn my tips and techniques, in the field, for successful winter bird photography. It's a beautiful snowy day - surrounded by birds! There's Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Blackbirds, Chaffinches, Nuthatches, Robins, Magpies, Stock Doves and a Jay! (And Grey Squirrels too). Christmas has come early! I'm using a Mirrorless Canon R6 with a Canon EF 500mm F/4 Lens, with the Adapter. I'll show you how I set up my camera and my settings.
