SUMMARY
Steve Perry's video breaks down seven real-world wildlife photography problems and the solutions used to capture the shots. He explains techniques for shooting subjects in dense vegetation, using longer lenses from elevated positions, and employing back-button autofocus for fast-moving subjects like crabs in surf. Perry also provides guidance on managing rim lighting, shooting in the rain with specific shutter speeds, and metering for large white expanses to avoid underexposure.
