So you’re big into travel and your laptop is overloaded with photos of your adventures. You’ve put you foot on just about every continent on earth, and each year you cross off another country or world wonder from your bucket list. You work to live and for money to explore, you’ve experienced many exotic cultures and you’ve seen lots of rare wildlife. But guess what, there’s still so much to see! That’s one of the most amazing things about our planet, we’re still discovering the world around us. If you’ve already achieved your goals of seeing many unique destinations, why not make 2012 the year you start a new challenge.

Rather than just exploring new locations, make it your goal to discover all the amazing creatures that inhabit our planet. See them with your own eyes out in the wild. Take the time to know them and see if you can capture photographs that tell their story. There are so many amazing creatures out there and each has its own fascinating existence. Challenge yourself to give them the attention they deserve and discover how they can make you smile. See if you have what it takes to capture a great photograph of a wild subject. It’s so much more challenging that simply taking landscapes all the time. They move, they play, they hunt, they hide and sometimes they even look right down your lens. In that incredible moment when you finally get eye contact…take a breath and enjoy the rush of adrenaline.

If you’ve already started your collection of images of rare species, then why not add some big ticket items to your list:
1. Photograph Africa’s Big Five…better yet, get them all in the one photo.
2. Capture an action shot of a Sea Leopard on an iceberg in Antarctica, or if you’ve already been there done that, then go back and see if you can capture a Sea Leopard making a massive kill.
3. Get your self one of the very few photographs of a Spirit Bear…most of your friends won’t even know what they’re looking at.
4. Show them how to safari but getting shots from in amongst the Great Migration across the Serengeti.
5. Don’t just photograph a polar bear in the Arctic, see if you can capture two males polar bear battling it out for the affections of a female.
6. Look beyond the stereotypical vicious character of grizzly bear and find a shot that shows their gentle nature.
7. Work for that perfect shot of a Killer Whale leaping from sea to sky.
8. Be patient and take a picture of a penguin that is sitting on your legs.
9. Got all the big animals, then go Macro and try to keep a steady hand and capture some of the forgotten insects of the Great Bear Rainforest.
10. NEVER settle for anything less than the “money shot”.
