Camera Hunting

[Scythe13]

Okay, I did a bit of a challenge a while back about getting a photo of a wild pigeon, preferably a wood pigeon, or a rabbit.

The responses were brilliant, and I think it probably got the largest uptake of the forum challenges.

Has anyone taken the next step and taken up a little wildlife photography or been on a wildlife photography course to help increase their ability to track, spot, and 'shoot' a wild animal?

Not wildlife photography, but in an earlier life I learned techniques for covert observation and gathering evidence for evidence to be used in crimal cases. Animals are easy. Try sonebody who knows he may be observed and doesn't want to be seen. During the era of wet process photography and old school tradecraft, you had to be creative. With today's gear you don't need to be there and you can pan and zoom the camera over the internet and email the photos in real time or have live IR video.
