Fast-as-lightning cheetahs, nearly extinct white rhinoceroses, seemingly friendly koala bears–imagine waiting for hours in your perch in a tree or under a fringe of pampas grass, ears alert, eyes peeled, camera ready. That’s the job of a wildlife photographer. This book outlines the skills, training, and day-to-day tasks that these resourceful and talented individuals depend on to survive–not only in a highly competitive field, but out in the wild, too, where one wrong move can lead to trouble.
