With a passion for adventure and the great outdoors, his early interest in art was quickly replaced by photography as he sought to document the landscapes he explored, and the birds and other wildlife he found along the way.  With a natural disposition and talent for capturing the wider scene, his work seeks to capture the pure essence of the places he visits and the birds he encounters through a wider perspective. During the conversation, Caleb shares his unique perspective on wildlife photography and his approach to life and adventure.   Caleb’s work can be found by visiting his website and Instagram account, links for which are provided below:  https://www.calebghoover.com/ https://www.instagram.com/calebg.hoover/ About the Hosts: Rob Read has spent many years as a photography competition organiser; firstly as a founding director o...

The discussion starts with the change of the guard from wintering birds to spring migrants and summer visitors, but the two quickly go off on the usual tangents and discuss what they have been up to, where they have been, and what they have been photographing. Join two friends as they discuss photography and wildlife, and share some hints, tips and insights.

In this episode, Rob and Josh talk about the differences between shooting alone or with friends and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both. Join two friends as they chat candidly about their own experiences, share stories, opinions and advice.
