Light the magic that takes the ordinary to the memorable. Same subject same setting...the light is the key. Not always something that wild life photographers can control but can work aroundEquipment

The challenge................ no nothing like that. I was not inspired at all. Bad day bad lighting but patience paid offEditing

The more consistent one is, the more one works at the craft the better one becomes at it. and if you cant for any reason enjoy the journey
