My WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY from 2023 | A look back at some of my favourite images from last year!

Video Description

How's it going guys! I hope you are doing well and 2024 has got off to a good start for all of you with some cracking wildlife photography opportunities! Now in this video I thought we would revisit last year and a few of my favourite shots from 2023, breaking down the images, how they were captured and a few of the reasons I personally love these photographs. One of the most important ways to improve your photography moving forwards it to always review, revisit and revise your work, taking time to objectively understand what you did well, and less well to help you evolve as a photographer! As I say at the start of this video, when it comes to making images it's not a numbers game. Yes you might see people posting images daily, digging into the archives to keep up with the algorithms but in truth, go after 1 great picture each month, something you want to put on your wall, tell people about. Learn to craft those shots and in then your ability to shoot consistent great frames will inevitably develop! I'd love to know what was your favourite of my images from last year, maybe it wasn't even one I featured in this video? Let me know and also, what was your favourite frame? Drop me a message on instagram and tag me into your #wildlifeshotoftheyear2023 , I'd love to see them! @TomMasonPhoto on the gram!
