    Wildlife and Noise

    This episode is all about the effects of human-made noise on wildlife. As we approach the 4th of July and the sound of fireworks fills the air across America, it’s a good time to stop and think about the impact our noise has—not just on our neighbors, but on the wildlife that shares our world.We often don’t realize just how disruptive human-made sounds can be. Fireworks, traffic, construction, leaf blowers, loud music—these may seem like part of everyday life to us, but to animals, they can be deeply distressing, even dangerous. These sounds interfere with their ability to find food, avoid predators, communicate, and raise their young.From birds abandoning their nests to deer stampeding in panic, to pets trembling under beds—the effects are real and often heartbreaking.But here’s the good news: unlike some environmental problems that seem out of our control, noise is something we can manage. We can choose when and how we make sound. We can advocate for quieter spaces, for wildlife-friendly policies, and we can be more aware of the timing and volume of our own activities.So, as the fireworks begin this week, I invite you to reflect on the power of quiet—and the role each of us can play in giving nature a break from the noise.   [email protected] - for comments or suggestions.

    Landscape Photography Ethics

    LandScape Photography EthicseMail: [email protected]: https://bit.ly/4fzdfkZSupport the Podcast: https://bit.ly/3rqAqae This week’s topic came to me while I was shooting in Yosemite Valley. As I stood there, taking in the views and composing my shots, I started thinking about how someone might begin their journey into landscape photography. Like most hobbies or disciplines, I’d start by sharing the rules. And in nature photography, the number one rule—above all else—is ethics. So in this episode, we’re diving into the ethics of landscape photography. As with all the episodes I produce, this is just my perspective. It’s not necessarily the right way for everyone, but it’s what I believe and practice. If you’ve got thoughts, feel free to tag me in social media posts and share your opinions, or contact me directly via email if you’d rather have a more private conversation. I’ll get back to you. My email is [email protected]. Landscape photography is more than just an art form—it’s a bridge between people and the natural world. As photographers, we have the ability to inspire awe, provoke emotion, and encourage conservation. But with that power comes responsibility. Every choice we make, from how we interact with the land to how we edit our images, impacts the way others perceive nature. In today’s episode, we’ll explore the ethical aspects of landscape photography. We’ll talk about best practices in the field, responsible editing techniques, the appropriate use of artificial intelligence, and how to respect both wildlife and fellow outdoor adventurers. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned pro, I hope this episode helps you grow not only as a photographer but as a thoughtful steward of the landscapes you capture. Let’s start with the foundation of ethical photography: the Leave No Trace philosophy. It’s a set of outdoor ethics that promotes conservation through responsible recreation. The idea is simple—leave nature as you found it, or better. Plan ahead, travel on durable surfaces, dispose of waste properly, leave what you find, minimize campfire impacts, respect wildlife, and be considerate of other visitors. By following the Leave no Trace guidelines, photographers can minimize their impact on delicate ecosystems and ensure that natural spaces remain pristine for others to enjoy. Planning and Preparing for Ethical Photography Proper planning is not only the key to capturing great photos but also to minimizing your ecological footprint. Here are some important steps to consider when preparing for a shoot:Research the Location: Learn about the area you plan to visit. Understand the environmental conditions, access regulations, and sensitive habitats. Look into trail maps, permitted zones, and any seasonal restrictions they might have. Planning is a critical part of ethical photography. Not only does it help you get the best shot, but it also reduces your environmental impact. Before heading out, research your location. Learn about the terrain, any restrictions, sensitive habitats, and local guidelines. Check the weather and trail conditions to avoid any accidents that could force you off the path and potentially harm the landscape. Bring the right gear—reusable water bottles, containers, and trash bags to pack everything out. Always have a first aid kit and emergency supplies.  Know what rules apply to your shoot, including permits, especially when you are in national parks or protected areas. Speaking of national parks, let’s talk about drones. I know those aerial angles are tempting, but flying drones in national parks is generally prohibited. Violating this can lead to serious fines—up to $5,000—and even jail time. The ban was put in place back in 2014 after a Dutch tourist crashed a drone into Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring. The drone couldn’t be retrieved right away due to the sensitive nature of the site, raising serious concerns about contamination and disturbance. The National Park Service (NPS) issued a policy on June 19, 2014, prohibiting the launching, landing, or operation of unmanned aircraft within all national parks. If you’re eager to capture drone footage, look for areas outside the National Park Service’s jurisdiction where it’s permitted. Always follow FAA guidelines and local laws. There are also other preparations to keep in mind. Always pack headlamps, extra batteries, a map or GPS device, and backup food. Leave a trip plan with someone, especially if you’re heading into remote areas. That way, you’re not only protecting nature but ensuring your own safety. When you’re out in the field, stick to established trails. It’s tempting to venture off-path for a unique composition, but doing so can damage delicate ecosystems like alpine meadows, desert crusts, and forest floors. Be aware of your surroundings and remind your fellow photographers too—sometimes, we get so focused on getting the shot, we forget we’re trampling something irreplaceable. Cultural and historical sites deserve equal respect. Indigenous lands, sacred sites, and heritage structures shouldn’t be disturbed or disrespected. If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to photograph a place, ask the local authorities or community leaders. When it comes to wildlife, don’t disturb the animals. Use a long lens, maintain distance, and never bait or call them in for a photo. Be especially careful during breeding seasons or in winter, when wildlife is more vulnerable. Birds, in particular, are sensitive to human interference—avoid their nesting areas and go easy on playback calls. Now let’s talk about editing—where the line between enhancement and deception can get blurry. Editing is part of the process, but it becomes problematic when it misleads. I remember seeing a photo of Yosemite Valley with the sun rising in an impossible direction, casting light on trees that don’t even grow there. The caption suggested that getting up early and putting in effort would reward you with similar views. It was so clearly manipulated, it felt dishonest. Ask yourself: are you adding elements that weren’t there? Are you removing anything in a way that changes the truth of the scene? Adjustments like exposure, contrast, and cropping are normal. But replacing skies or adding elements that didn’t exist crosses into digital art territory. That’s fine—just be upfront about it. Transparency is key. If your image is heavily edited or a composite, say so. Let your viewers know. Over-editing color or saturation to unrealistic levels can distort a viewer’s perception of nature and create false expectations. Let your edits enhance the truth, not fabricate a fantasy. After the break, we’ll talk about the role AI plays in photo editing and how to use it responsibly. Thanks for tuning into the Nature Photography Podcast.

    Long Glass Stories

     If you love nature, wildlife, and photography, you're in the right place. Now if all goes well, right about now I'm driving into Yosemite National Park to do some spring waterfall photography. I've been checking the weather and I think it snowed there yesterday, so hopefully the park is going to look great. So this week I pre-recorded this episode so I can be up there enjoying Yosemite, one of my favorite national parks. I'll try to make some recordings from inside the park to put in a future podcast. Today we're going to talk about long lens stories from the field. Now if you're like me, you like to go out often and shoot in nature. Depending on what I plan to shoot, I'll have a variety of gear with me. However, by far, the piece of equipment that garners the most interest is my long last setup. As of late, I'm using the Nikon Z9 with a 600 f4 TC lens. The lens is covered in a lens coat. This is a set of neoprene sleeves that protect the outside of the lens. Mine happens to be camo color. Now, I don't really subscribe to the thought that camouflage is going to make a big difference to the subjects I'm photographing. I doubt that a bulk elk is going to look over to me and say to himself, I see a guy standing over there, but I can't really tell what he's doing. It doesn't have a camera because if you did, I'd be able to see it. Yeah, I just don't think that camouflage on my lens just makes that much of a difference. There are so many other things that would make a subject uncomfortable that having a lens covered doesn't seem to make much of a difference. My thought is this, the neoprene sleeves provide excellent protection for the exterior of the lens, shielding it from scratches, dents, and other potential damages that can often occur when you're outside in photographic sessions. The lens coat can also help in preventing dirt, dust, and moisture from accumulating on the lens, which is particularly beneficial when shooting in adverse weather conditions and rugged environments like, say, the beach. By using a lens coat, I feel like I can extend the lifespan of my expensive lenses, ensuring that they remain in optimal condition for capturing wildlife action. Moreover, for those who frequently photograph wildlife like myself, Moreover, for those who frequently while moreover, for those who frequently photograph wildlife moreover, for people who frequently while moreover, For those who frequently photograph wildlife like myself, it's essential to minimize any reflective surfaces that could alert animals to their presence. It's essential to minimize any reflective surfaces that could alert animals to your presence. While camouflage isn't going to entirely conceal the photographer, While camouflage isn't going to entirely conceal the photographer, the reduced glare from the lens coat can make a subtle difference in approaching subjects discreetly. In essence, a lens coat serves as a practical accessory for me to preserve my gear while potentially enhancing the field experience. Let's talk about support. I often use a tripod and a Wimberly gimbal head. This is an invaluable asset to have in the field as it's pretty quick to set up and goes and allows good maneuverability. Here's how I work. I get to my spot and extend the tripod legs to the desired height. Then I balance the head using a knob that operates what's called the leveling base. A leveling base is attachment on the top of the legs of the tripod. It's kind of like a small bowl. Loosening it allows me to get the base of the head perfectly level in all directions. I keep an eye on the bubble level that's attached to the leveling base to get it spot on. The head sits on top of the base. The Wimberly head is a gimbal head. This has a large knob for the vertical axis and a large knob for the horizontal axis. Next, I attach the lens foot into the head and tighten it down. Once tightened, I loosen the vertical axis. Once tightened, I loosen the vertical axis to see if the lens tips forward or leans back. I loosen the vertical axis to see if the lens tips forward or leans back. I then adjust it by sliding the lens back or forward. I then adjust the sliding. Then I adjust this by sliding the lens just a little bit backwards or a little bit forward until I achieve the perfect center balance.Razor-Sharp Nature Photography eBook: https://imagelight.com/lightroom-brushes Now this can be a bit of a sketchy part because you never want to let your hands off of the camera and lens while you're centering this. But as long as you never let go before you lock it down, you should be good. But as long as you never let it go before you lock it down, you should be fine. Once centered, I locked down the lens foot onto the head and now it's in the exact spot I want for shooting. Now I can point the lens in any direction. Now I can point the lens in any direction. And since it's centered and balanced, the lens always stays in place without needing to tighten the knobs. It's pretty slick. Commercial. Thanks again for listening to the nature photography podcast.

Lastly, just sharing this podcast with other photographers or nature lovers will lead to more listeners as well. Whatever way you choose to support the podcast, I do appreciate it. If I find myself out in Yellowstone or say Grand Teton National Park and have my long lens out, and especially if it's on a tripod, this is a traffic jam creator. I could just be looking at the mountains or I could just be looking at the mountains and other park visitors will see the lens out and the cars will come screeching to a halt. No one wants to miss anything. Well, this is a technique for finding wildlife in those popular parks. So as you drive, you just look for traffic tie ups and a lot of times somebody has stopped for an elk or a bison or moose or even bears. Last fall. Last fall when I was up at Grand Teton, we had a wonderful time capturing images of just about everything. One iconic wildlife subject we were missing, though, was grizzly bears. On one of the last days in the park, we headed out in our van, myself and five other wildlife enthusiasts, and I announced that today we would be number one. And what I meant by that is I wanted to be first on the scene...

    Pacific Chorus Frogs

    The tree frog that we are listening to here, is the Pacific Chorus frog, also known to many as the Pacific tree frog.  This is considered to be one of the most plentiful amphibians on the west coast of North America. They can be found everywhere from Baha California to up into British Columbia and as far east as Montana. While it is sometimes referred to as a “tree” frog, this little guy seldom ventures up trees, it will mostly stay near the ground. While his little suction cup feet can propel this frog on just about any surface, in shallow creeks and ponds are the home of choice, for this guy.They can be found as either brown or green, depending on the background he’s living in. One of the keys to this frog’s survival is not being seen as easily, so the ability to change his own coloring is a big asset.
