I recently competed in a Wildlife Photography Competition with my good friend Thomas. Thomas is the man behind the Story Driven Thomas Youtube channel. If you're not familiar with him, check out his Youtube for sure!
Wildlife Photography Competition
The wildlife photography competition was to see who could photograph the most species of birds in 4 hours. So, we met up at a park outside of Atlanta on a lovely day in November. It was a ton of fun but you'll have to watch the video to see who won. Also, I've made sure to include a lot of tips in the video. The photography tips will help you improve your wildlife photography.
Also, be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel for more great videos. In addition to a rematch of my photography competition with Thomas I'm going to be creating a bunch of short-form videos in 2026. These videos are going to each tackle a single complex photography concept and break it down so that it's easy for you to understand. Also be sure to check out this page for free photography learning resources.
