As I make my summer photography trips to different ponds, marshes, rivers and lakeshore sections in southern Ontario, most of other wildlife photographers I meet are retired folks with plenty of free time on their hands. That is why we all prefer to go out during week days, but not during weekends. On weekends, one sees younger photography crowds who are still holding some sort of jobs. Furthermore, those nature places are like a magnet to city dwellers who are doing their weekend escapes from Toronto aka the big smoke.
Crowds and nature photography do not mix well.
Here is my shooting companion aiming/setting patiently his Nikkor 500 on a perched Kingfisher , hoping he\'d catch him as the bird dives for fish in the pond.
