    I kind of want to be a wild life biologist… how much school are you going
    to have to take to finish veterinary medicine?

    @lozziet5 thanks a lot – always nice to meet an enthusiastic fellow
    photography. wildlife parks are a great place to practice. they key is to
    have a good range on your lens – animals rarely get close enough to make
    good work from anything less than about 150mm – mor typically you’re
    shooting at 200 and (especially for birds and at sea) up to 500mm – the
    further away you are, the less you disturb and the more natural behaviour
    you’re likely to see! i commented on your portraits and wildlife vid

    @BigCatsWildlife thanks so much for your kind comments – the song is an old
    track by a band called the four brothers from zimbabwe

    wow these are absolutly fantastic!!! realllly beautiful photographs. i use
    the same camera as you aswell, its a brilliant wee thing. i tend to do more
    portraits though, although i recently tried out wildlife photography (in a
    wildlife park) and i wasnt too sure if i had got the hang of it, if you
    could look at my portraits and wildlife video i would really appreciate a
    experienced photographers opinion on the photos 🙂 i really like your work
    😀 great job!

    @Zaarin2007 how much if you dont mind me asking and what camera and lens?

  16. Zaarin2007 says:

    @hojop25 depends on the photo, and what’s happening to it. usually it’s as
    microstock, which is a few pence a photo, but proper prints have sold for
    much more, and book publishers even more

    These are really amazing!! I take pictures as a hobby too, but so far I
    haven’t had the privilege to go to Africa to do it…so all I take pictures
    of are the things I can find outside my house. ^^ These are fantastic, I
    think my favorite is the one at 2:54. So sweet! <3

    Not sure about America as your State rules are inconsistent, but in the UK
    it’s a straight five or six years. In most American universities I think
    it’s 3 years following a 4 year major in an appropriate subject.
