With snow on the hilltop, I head out for some winter wildlife photography. Here are my top 7 tips and tricks for photography in the cold winter snow in the Cairngorms, Scotland.
By preparing and bringing good gear I stayed the entire day on the hill, from before first light until after dusk. Came away with some photos of mountain hares and ptarmigans that I'm super happy with.
