This past Thursday, I had the chance to meet Alex Badyeav, wild life photographer and professor at Univ. of AZ. He was in Blacksburg for a seminar for the Biological Sciences department, which holds a time to hang out with the speaker at a local restaurant/bar. It was awesome to get to talk to him and find out how he got the photos of the various animals - in particular the bats :-)
So here are a few things I've learned about Dr. Badyeav:
- his fave lens 70-200mm (though I forgot to ask if it was a prime or zoom)
- currently he's playing with light to get his shots
- he plans the composition for his shot (which is opposite of what I do, which is try to take pictures of whatever I can)
- he enjoys looking at other styles of photography, including fashion photography.
That's about all I have right now. Unfortunately, due to trying to finish up the PhD, I've been neglecting the photography (though I expect that this will increase once I'm done).
