Techniques for Photographing Eastern Wild Turkeys—Course Preview
Doug GardnerDescription
Wild turkeys roam the woods and fields of almost all the United States. In this series of videos, professional wildlife photographer Doug Gardner shows you setup, planning, and shooting techniques for photographing wild turkeys in nature. He scouts locations to find where the birds roost and builds a camouflage blind made from tree branches. From local farmers and conservationists, he discovers that the best times to photograph wild turkeys are early morning and late afternoon. Hidden in the blind, Doug captures amazing portraits of gobblers and hens through a telephoto lens. You will learn why the key to capturing memorable images of wild turkeys is to know their habits.

Contrary to popular belief, I happen to think its an absolutely beautiful bird, an amazing bird to photograph, and we're gonna show you how to do this this week. I'm your host, Doug Gardner, and thank you for joining me on another Wild Photo Adventures.
