Comment on Wildlife Photography as Storytelling by Mark Schwall

Wonderful article Christian and nicely instructive. I can certainly appreciate the sense of coming to a point where you start looking for something more than an image to add to one’s “image bank”. Well done sir!

Thanks, Mark.

You will love it there if you have never been before. And yep, plan on a few trips. The weather (sun/clouds) there is subject to rapid changes as I discovered. Good to make a few trips. If the Eagles are there in the usual numbers, it is quite the spectacle. Hope to see you there.

Sounds like an awesome scene to watch and even better that you were able to photograph is so well and share it with us all. That is certainly one of the great things about photography.

Excellent post Eric with phenomenal images. I am looking forward to making a trip or three or four next fall as well. Thanks for your insights.

Thanks, Matt.

Yep, I think a trip there is pretty much mandatory. Good luck!

Hey Ray,
Thanks for the simple things. Ducks on the water, ants moving earth one grain at a time. So much we miss in our urgency.
Great view.
Steve

Thanks Ray and Larry! Larry, it is funny that no matter how many photographs you take you can almost always remember the exact circumstances of each capture. The Osprey capture was relatively late in the fall when most of the Osprey had already departed the scene. It was a relatively calm day, I was standing on the service road that crosses the marsh and I noticed that this Osprey was flying about occasionally hovering over the water. I had turned around to look for something else when I caught something in the corner of my eye and he was diving right into one of the ponds of water in the marsh. I caught an entire series, the lighting was not ideal as it was kind of behind and to the right of the bird, but the wind was at my back and he was looking right at me. This was best quality image of the set, but it was great to see and have a halfway decent capture of it to remember it by.

Great post. I like all the photos but the Osprey shot is awesome. I’ve always wanted to get one like that with the Osprey catching a fish and heading towards the camera. Nice work Mark.
