What makes this basic wildlife photography tutorial so different from other photography tutorials is that you will watch Diogo photograph different animals while explaining the different components of photography. In this tutorial, I will explore some of the best places to photograph wildlife in Portugal. For this basic tutorial I had the opportunity to travel through lush green mountains, cross rivers of icy water and test some of the photo shelters that exist in Portugal. I will show you some of the most fantastic animals that we can observe in Portugal, I will explain what you should do to find them and of course I will explain the best photographic techniques to obtain the best results. But before we get there, I'll cover and explain the basics of photography so you know how to set up your camera and get the most out of it. All of this filmed in the field, while photographing the most iconic wildlife.
