Hi, I'm Ian Plan. And I'm Zach Mills and we're here in the beautiful Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, which is world renowned for its bird and marine wildlife. For the next two weeks, we are going to be pushing the limits of our creativity, trying to make compelling wildlife photos, and while we're here, we're going to tell you some of the techniques that we use to help you make the wildlife photos you always wanted to make. We're going to discuss the technical side of things, for example, proper equipment choices and the right settings to get great wildlife photos. But we're also going to talk about the artistic side.
We're going to talk about the creative use of natural light and artificial light to subtly enhance your wildlife photos. We'll talk a lot about wildlife composition and we'll talk about some other special techniques that will allow you to make wildlife photos that stand out from the rest. So join us for these next two weeks as we explore these beautiful islands.
You can't really go wrong in the Falklands. You can get really close to the wildlife and could get a decent shot with just a smartphone or a point and shoot. I just used an Olympus e_m1 and a wide angle and a telephoto zoom.
