The Art of Sitting

I found an interesting article on Moose Peterson's site. He's always an advocate of showing the utmost consideration for wildlife. In his words, "meeting wildlife on their own terms most often rewards us with great photographs."

Something I've heard before from another great wildlife photographer, David Leaver, is "always leave before your subject has had enough of you!" David Leaver cruises the Hebrides for much of the year, and I'm sure the otters, basking sharks and minke whales can recognise the sound of his engine. He has a rapport with them - they know there is no need to fear his boat. You can apply the same principles to your local wildlife - it works!
