Wildlife photography is one of the most controversial genres of all, because some photographers will stop at nothing to get that ‘once-in-a lifetime’ shot. Sadly, I’m sure there are people out there who are acutely aware they’re not operating appropriately, and I suppose there’s very little anyone can say to dissuade them.
So I thought I’d talk about those who maybe aren’t aware they’re doing anything wrong, those who are perhaps guilty of succumbing to the excitement and getting a little bit close for the animal’s comfort.
