Thanks very much for promoting this stance. I don’t bait animals, and don’t agree with baiting — the owl’s sake, for the sake of the mice, and because of the environmental intrusion. I’m always skeptical of those prize-winning owl shots, particularly when you consider an owl’s natural behavior and how, often, the owls are flying toward the photographer in flight patterns that suggest landing right in front of the camera. It’s a shame that those who engage this behavior cast this shadow over raptor photography.

Hello Vic, Good message. One has to be at the right place & at the right time. Not only that but one should have studied behaviour of moving objects like birds set the camera at right aperture and at right shutter speed. The photo at the beginning of this article is of a dark morph Western Red-tailed Hawk, is excellent!!! Will u pls. inform ASA, Aperture and shutter speed. We will try catching birds around our home with those setting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as it is only knowledge that can be shared

Hi Vic,

Thanks for writing such useful and inspiring article. In fact, most of us go and shoot with a hope to capture the best but only those succeed, who are present at the right place, at right moment and only with the ‘right attitude’ towards nature. Please keep writing.

Regards.

Dear Vic,

Really appreciate your thoughts and vision. A downfall in the ethics has creeped in every section of life.

Coming to wild life, humans tend to forget that this earth can go on without us but not without these animals who are much so important for the natural balance. The people who don’t agree with me may have a look at the present state of ecosystem which is nothing but the human interference with the normal course of nature.

People who snap the wilderness in a round about manner, please don’t call yourself nature photographers.
