No I am not. Many nature photographs will sit for hours to get than one photo. That is their profession. I do no get paid for mine. I have no problem going to natural zoos or botanical gardens to photograph. If you choose the right perspective they can look natural.

I am Bryan, not that you were asking a general question (or were you?). Not in the 'formal' sense, but Mom still is, and Dad was until he passed in March (he had an eye for the hawk varieties) ... so I sort of absorbed some of it growing up...

and since we're Open Kimono on Chief's, here's mine...
