A Focus in the Wild’s photographer Stacey Huston set her focus on the National Wild Turkey Federation’s Convention & Sport Show. She took her expertise inside and gives us a few tips on how to photograph a busy convention and seminars amid a crush of people. We’re calling this one “Unconventional photographs!”
Outdoor photographer Stacey Huston lives dangerously, as she steps onto the ice in an effort to retrieve a pair of antlers and finds an entire buck encased in ice in a Wyoming stream. She uses the opportunity to photograph this fine specimen, and to teach us about stepping on the ice with our own digital cameras — how to use aperture settings to our advantages. Check out her Shoot to Thrill advice, and also, you’ll want to see her photographs.
For the portrait of Jessica in Montana, I was shooting with a Mamiya 645 medium format camera with 80 mm lens. As you can see from the photograph, I used a tripod and had a portable flash (Nikon SB800) through an umbrella for a little fill light. Since it was an overcast day, Jessica was [...]

That’s what photographer Yamil Sued recommends. Check out his other recommendations to keep any outdoor photographer dry, hydrated and prepared for well, anything.
Outdoor Photographer Bill Konway took this photograph in Indiana. ArcticShield purchased it for promotional use. He writes, It was shot with a Nikon D2XS with a 400mm f2.8 lens. Because of the long focal length, and shallow depth of field, the 400 really makes the picture pop. Because I was able to be farther away from [...]
After over 26 years behind the camera, I have learned one thing: weather doesn’t always cooperate. Some assignments can be scheduled according to weather, but some can’t. Some events are scheduled months in advance and photographers need to be prepared for all types of weather. This is where experience and ingenuity come in. Packing for [...]

One of TeamWON’s own carp eradicators, a woman who lives the dream everyday in Southern Illinois — of figuring out how to eradicate the region of pesky, nuisance carp — submitted this photo for a caption.
