You've gone out to photograph some wildlife on a beautiful day. Everything seems to be working. The photos look great on your camera. However, when you get home your wildlife photos are not sharp. What happened?
The most likely reason is atmospheric distortion caused by the light being warped. On it's journey between your in focus subject and your camera's sensor the atmosphere can degrade your photos sharpness.
Watch the video above to learn what you can do about it. If you have any questions about atmospheric distortion please contact me. I would love to answer your questions!
