Wildlife and Photography – Details, episodes & analysis

In our line of work, we have ventured over a lot of the United Kingdom and parts of Africa. We really enjoy going and experiencing new places and wildlife to photograph. The thing about new places is they can be more than a little bit frightening. You don’t know what you have let yourself in for. Is all the time and money you’ve spent going to be worth it?

Of course most of the time going somewhere new is worth the effort, but it is impossible to keep going to new places. So we have a fall back. We have a series of places that are very local to us that we visit on a regular basis. These are our banker places to take photographs, somewhere we are going to get pictures.

We’ve had a lot of comments about close by locations that you can visit regularly. It seems that they seem to be the last on the list for photographers to visit and take photographs. Well we hope that in this podcast we can help change your mind. Local can be just as rewarding as traveling hundreds of miles to not get a sighting or photograph.

Episode 19 “A year through our kitchen window” What an odd subject for a podcast you may think. But we will take you through our kitchen windows and into the woods beyond, which are full of wildlife. The wildlife we are privileged to be able to watch day to day. To witness, dramas life and death struggles, going on just outside our kitchen windows. This episode contains a full year of extracts from our wildlife diary where we record the comings and goings in our garden.

There has been a wee bit of a break in the regularity of publishing episodes in 2022. We hope that you will stick with us as we have started to overcome the circumstances that have made it impossible for us to publish as many episodes as we would wish. Fingers crossed we are now getting back on track and will be able to publish more in 2023.

Flowers make our world a better place, but they are not just for our delight. The real reason plants produce flowers is all to do with reproduction. Flowers are for most plants a way of getting an animal to transfer pollen to another plant. Without this true wonder of nature, humans would lose about 70% of the plants we rely on to feed ourselves. Our podcast gives an insight into the relationship between plants and the animal kingdom.

Phoebe Weston – The Guardian 8 March 2021 – Land could be worth more left to nature than when framed, study finds

This episode is all about using manual exposure on your camera. We try to dispel the myths that seem to abound on the internet, that manually setting all the exposure parameters, makes your pictures better. We have advice about, how and when to use it, give examples of what we use to capture our wildlife images. We hope after listening to the episode, you will be able to make an informed choice, about how you choose to use manual exposure.

Spring has arrived. Episode 6 of the Wildlife and photography podcast is all about the science and beauty behind spring. The effects it has on animals, plants, and humans. Because we live in the UK, don’t think this podcast is not for you, we cover spring as it affects the planet. 

In this episode, we are talking about important accessories that are often overlooked by many. It’s not all about the latest lens or gadget. It is about how to stay safe, comfortable and enjoy your time out photographing. We talk about what we have found invaluable and recommend some products and where to buy them, including a special section for ladies.
