Breath-taking wildlife photography
Passion is something which sometimes comes out wildly in the form of Wildlife photography. A love for nature and animals and the courage to adventure in jungles kindles the spark to go wild and capture those moments which remain unexplored and which may pose a threat at times if not alert. Wild life photography is also sending an alarming message to all of us to protect some of these endangered species. Wildlife photography also proves a milestone in protecting the wild animals which are becoming extinct due to many threats by humans such as deforestation, poaching and climatic conditions. Another important help is, they capture some of the endangered species and collect those precious details which could save these animals from the verge of extinction.
Photograph by Anthony Davis, Your Shot A caiman rescued by the ARCAS organization in Guatemala gets the eye from a ring of turtles. Founded in 1989, ARCAS strives to rehabilitate animals seized from poachers and illegal pet traders, eventually releasing most back into the wild.

Masters of disguise
National Wildlife Magazine Photo Contest 2009 Honorable Mention, Amateur Division, Landscapes and Plant Life Category It rained for several days during my trip to the Canadian Rockies and I was frustrated about lost photographic opportunities. One afternoon, a break in the weather had me heading out on the highway, hoping for shots of bighorn sheep. I found a herd and spent some time shooting them. Not long afterward, the rain started moving in again, so I headed back to the hotel. That’s when I saw this scene unfolding in the warm late afternoon light.
