Otter (Lutra lutra) Isle of Mull

Otters are a personal favourite of mine and there is a great deal of satisfaction to be had from photographing them in the wild. However, in order to capture the best images it is vital, as in all genres of nature photography, be it mammals, birds, plants or insects etc to ensure that absolute priority is giving to the welfare of the subject. Knowing how to photograph any particular specie relies just as much on good field craft as it does on having suitable photography skill and equipment. Knowledge of your intended subject will always be beneficial, and knowing when to walk away at the fist sign of distress in the subject is paramount.

Namibia Photos – Part 4 – Wildlife

This is the last of our Namibia Photos Collection. It has been fun putting together these Namibia photos and a nice reminder of a really fascinating trip to Namibia.

We are hoping to have another trip in the future. Perhaps next time we will concentrating on wildlife photography in Etosha National Park and further north into Botswana.
