Photographing wildlife is one of the most rewarding areas of photography. It touches our emotions, is dynamic and fast moving, and when we allow ourselves to enter an animal's world, the experience changes our lives.

Photographer, Author and Workshop Leader Kathleen Reeder has fine-tuned her tips to photographing wildlife in this fully revised reference guide. Featuring over 50 of her beautiful wildlife photos from North America and Africa, as well as numerous charts, tables and graphs, the information presented is ideal for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
