This episode is about using light. Using it well can make the difference between a magical shot and one that is flat and uninteresting. Here's what I'll cover in this episode:

  •  The Role of Light in Wildlife Photography 
  •  Golden Hours & Blue Hours
  • Midday Light Challenges
  • Backlighting, Side Lighting & Front Lighting 
  • Weather & Light Conditions 
  • Camera Settings for Light 

Share your experiences and images in the Facebook Group.

Next time, we’ll talk about how to photograph subjects that are moving fast.
