Wildlife, ya’ll! Regardless of my personal failure at shooting wildlife, you guys really showed up for this show. Great job! There are a ton of great tips throughout the show as T&C edit and critique the submissions. For sure watch through this episode if you need wildlife tips like I do.
This month’s schedule is a little wonky, T&C have been traveling a lot. Next week our show will be at 1pm EST on WEDNESDAY and we’re reviewing architecture photos. Then the whole crew of us will be in NYC for Photoplus!
Oh hey, it’s my birthday in a few days. Thanks for your well-wishes!
Ok, let’s get into your photos and I’ll highlight our faves below:
- right off the bat, this mourning dove is beautiful and Chelsea makes great jokes “#dovelive”

Here’s a question from you, the audience:

And back to photos:
- laying eggs

- “you made Justin laugh, it’s that cute”
- turtle doing pull-ups
- pretty bird
- fox’s day at the beach
- omg baby boar “I would hug it and keep hugging it and then throw it in the bag and bring it home”
- “this is one of those wrestling death matches between butterflies”
Back to me for some questions:
- what will Tony and Chelsea be drinking next week during the show? Water.
- how do you choose portfolio photos? Crowd source. See what does well on social media, take time to reflect back on your photos.
Now for a portfolio review! Pare down your photos, keep the eye-popping ones on the first page, maybe ditch the staggered layout. Otherwise great job! Keep watching to hear great tips about building a portfolio and looking at your analytics.
Back to your photos!
Back to your questions:
- crop sensor or full frame for wildlife? Tony likes a crop, Chelsea doesn’t.
- do you color calibrate your monitor? Nope, but it won’t hurt to.
Back to your photos! Getting speedy now, there’s a lot to get through:
- hopping deer

Some last questions from me:
- Chit-chat?
- how did studying art effect your photography? Composition, adding meaning to your photos.
- wildlife baiting? Bird feeders are okay, roadkill for eagles okay, otherwise no.
Chit-chat! What are we doing anymore?
- POS
- Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy
- Does photography have to be complicated? No.
- more weird-ass flat earthers
