When it comes to nature photography, everything doesn’t come on a silver platter. The secret is not an advanced equipment, but patience and knowledge. And that you can learn at home. You can find an incredible wildlife in the bushes and trees just around the corner. You just need to keep you eyes open and have patience. To wake up four in the morning to have closer look. That’s what I do.
