In Episode 9 of the PhotoWILD Podcast, Jared and Annalise discuss their time along the coastal plain of North Carolina before moving to. The area is better known by wildlife photographers for playing home to the densest concentration of black bears. But far from being a one trick pony, however, the springtime this area can be one of the best wildlife photography hotspots on the east coast of the United States. In this episode, Jared and Annalise dive into everything you could have hope to know about barred owls and how to photograph them.

In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss everything you could ever hope to know about photographing bighorn sheep. Given the extraordinary amount of snowfall in the Yellowstone this past winter, the bighorn sheep opportunities were truly incredible. Jared and Annalise spent two months this winter in Yellowstone and much of that time was spent working with and photographing these mountain monarchs. 

In this episode of PhotoWILD Podcast, Jared and Annalise talk about all things moose. Photographing moose was a big priority for them during their two months spent working in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem this past winter. And when it comes to photographing these swamp donkeys, timing is everything and there are a host of unique challenges we all face when creating compelling images of these animals - especially in the winter. 

Winter brings a host of different challenges for us wildlife photographers. More often than not, we tend to think of enduring the cold and slippery road conditions as the big challenges of winter. However, when it comes to photographing animals this time of year, there is so much more to overcome than just our own physical comfort. Quite frankly, the very nature of physics is working against us this time of year. 

In episode 5 of the PhotoWILD Podcast, Jared Lloyd and Annalise Kaylor discuss what it takes to plan a trip to Yellowstone National Park in the winter.

From equipment choices to timing based on statistical averages for weather, if you have ever wanted to photograph in Yellowstone in the winter, you won’t want to miss this episode.

In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss photographing pelagic seabirds at a nesting colony along the Caribbean Coast of Panama. While many different species utilize the island, the red-billed tropicbirds and brown boobies stole the show.

The Bocas del Toro region off Panama’s Caribbean coast is a macro photographer’s dream. Often referred to as the Galapagos of the Caribbean by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, this region holds an extraordinary array of colorful poison frogs like no other place on Earth.

Keeping up with small fast moving subjects through the forest is the ultimate challenge for even the most sophisticated of autofocus systems. In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss their time photographing different species of monkeys along the Panama Canal, and how to overcome such challenges in your wildlife photography.

A bit of pre-production is necessary for any photographic expedition to be successful. What are you photographing? What are the type of images you hope to create? What equipment will you likely need?
