Camera Settings: For Animals In Snow

Camera Settings: For Animals In Snow

When presented with the opportunity to photograph animals in snow, this reference book helps you be ready with camera settings. It is a collection of photos and associated camera settings that I made over the past four years at Triple D Game Ranch in Montana. This book is a great reference for wildlife photographers of all skill levels.

Triple D caters to the cinematography industry including film crews from National Geographic, Nature, Disney, BBC and others to film their animals. Since their first movie over 25 years ago, the Triple D has provided a service to a variety of still photographers and movie companies. Triple D prides itself on the care and health of their animals, as well as preserving endangered species, so that they may be enjoyed by future generations.

Each year I teach a Wildlife in Winter workshop at Triple D for up to 10 participants. We photograph the animals shown in this book. The workshop provides the opportunity to photo these beautiful animals in natural settings, fresh snow and at eye level.

Talking To Animals: How You Can Understand Animals And They Can Understand You

Talking To Animals: How You Can Understand Animals And They Can Understand You

There are so many benefits to learning how to communicate with animals. Love, trust, a spiritual connection that goes to the heart of the human-animal bond. Every time I listen to them, I learn about myself.

We seem to need animals in our disconnected lives more and more, yet we understand them less and less. In Talking to Animals, New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz—who left his Manhattan life behind two decades ago for life on a farm where he is surrounded by dogs, cats, sheep, horses, cows, goats, and chickens—marshals his experience to offer us a deeper insight into animals and the tools needed for effectively communicating with them. By better understanding animal instincts, recognizing they are not mere reflections of our own human emotions and neuroses, we can help them live happily in our shared world.

Devoting each chapter to an animal who has played an important role in his life, Katz tells funny and illuminating stories about his profound experiences with them. He shows us how healthy engagement with animals falls into five key areas: Food, Movement,Visualization, Language, and Instincts. Along the way, we meet Simon the donkey who arrives at Katz's farm near death and now serves as his Tai Chi partner. We meet Red the dog who started out antisocial and untrained and is now a therapy dog working with veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. And we meet Winston, the dignified and brave rooster who was injured defending his hens from a hawk and who has better interpersonal skills than most humans.

Thoughtful and intelligent, lively and heartwarming, this book will completely change the way you think about and interact with animals, building mutual trust and enduring connections.
