Where I photograph Wildlife Abroad.

Speaker – Malcolm Hupman

When I go on holiday, I always look for places where I can take wildlife photographs.
In part one I will show you some of the places I have found in Europe and the Canary Islands followed by a trip I made to Bulgaria.
After the break I will show you a travelog of a trip to Sri Lanka.
It is suitable for both experienced and novice photographers.
As well as the location, equipment and settings I have included the date taken on each image.
