Wildlife Action Shots: Award-winning Hungarian photographer Bence Mate’s nickname is “the invisible wildlife photographer,” which captures breathtaking images of wildlife photographs of dancing parrots, weightlifting ants, and a toucan looking for a fight incredibly up close and personal. He has taught in startling close-up detail.
These eye-catching photographs give an uncommon perspective on the animal world. He explains just how he manages to capture such cherished photographs, as he spends days, weeks, or even months quietly tucked away in a hide that he has carefully designed and built.
These often utilize one-way glass, which is what enables him to get so close to his oblivious subjects. He says, When I was walking in the wild with a pair of binoculars around our necks, we often witnessed magnificent moments in Mother Nature. However, at such moments, factors such as distance, light, background, environment, and the miracle of surprise infrequently allow us to pass on our visual experience to others.
Therefore, I’ve got to strive to forecast when such breathtaking moments occur and capture them in photographs. You know, great planning and patience are usually required to execute natural photographs, along with a dose of good luck.
