Wildlife photography can be a very expensive interest to have, often necessitating the features that the latest top end camera bodies offer, and the longest focal length and best glass available. The costs can spiral in to tens of thousands of pounds/dollars, but can we be guilty of ‘shiny new object syndrome’ at times, and is all this expensive kit really necessary? Rob and Josh discuss our preoccupation with new kit, and more modest ways to get great results and enjoy your wildlife photography without breaking the bank. If you are looking to get into wildlife photography but are daunted by the cost, or are looking to upgrade your existing set up in a cost effective way, then don’t miss this episode. Delivered in the usual conversational manner between two friends obsessed with photography, we hope you’ll find it both informative and entertaining.About the HostsRob Read has spent many years as a photography competition organiser; firstly as a founding director of, and primary organiser of Bird Photographer of the Year for the first five years of the competition, and more recently as founder, owner, and organiser of WildArt Photographer of the Year.
