Hi Denise,
I would love to read your study. My business, now running around 160-170
trips a year was built on listers, and it is fun to remind clients who now
carry large cameras, how they hated photographers five years ago. While the
dynamics between couples has not changed in my experience, fewer couples
bird without a photography aspect.
Peter, I no longer go for shots of birds I have good shots of before. The
last time I had a New Holland Honeyeater in my lens, I was waiting
patiently for it to fly. I particularly wanted a shot of it flying directly
away from me. I imagine given enough time, I would be looking for that
ultimate shot of it from above.
Cheers,
Iain
