Weekly Catch-up:
Ray shares about his recent visit to Arches National Park in Utah, where he captured photos of Common Ravens using a wide-angle lens. The conversation then shifts to their approach to incorporating landscapes into their wildlife photography, sharing examples and discussing the effectiveness of different techniques. They showcase both successful and unsuccessful compositions, offering insights into why certain approaches yield better results. Additionally, they explore the concept of considering wide-angle wildlife photography as a landscape image first, followed by adding the wildlife, which can lead to more meaningful compositions and layouts that still effectively highlight the subject.
