I loved being able to capture the fur or feather detail and, sometimes, get eye contact with the subject. I recently started to expand my photographic scope by trying to capture environmental wildlife shots — landscapes with animals as elements, really. Both are equally challenging — it’s as hard to find a couple of giraffes, for instance, in an environment that has all the elements of a good landscape photograph as it is to capture certain kinds of birds in good light with beautiful uncluttered backgrounds (most species of weavers come to mind). Now its hard to say which I find more satisfying. I think both types are necessary elements of a good wildlife portfolio.
