Polar Bears waiting for winter and killing time
Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Paul Burwell.
I thought I’d make a video that told the story of the Polar Bears, waiting along the shores of Hudson’s Bay for the bay to freeze up. The bears rely on ice in the bay to help them return to their hunting grounds on Hudson’s Bay where they hunt seals. This hunting is extremely important because…

2009 – My photo year in review plus a new contest
Posted on 11. Jan, 2010 by Paul Burwell.
I was sitting back the other day contemplating what a great year 2009 had been. 2010 is going to have to be pretty spectacular to upseat it, but I’m optimistic. My year, like my life, largely revolves around photography and I thought it might be useful to run through the time line and hit on a few of the highlights…

September Update – Wolves, Lynx and Leopards!
Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by Paul Burwell.
September has returned all the daytime wanderers (school folks, their parents, folks on holidays, etc.) to their regular routines and my errands today took half the time they did during the summer. It was the beginning of August when I noticed the first leaves starting to turn colour here in Edmonton, and while the full fall colour season is still probably a few weeks away, the trees seem well aware that winter is on its way.

It seems that everytime I meet with photographers who have attended a workshop, at least one of them has a horror story about a previous workshop they’ve attended. Often, I’m surprised they were able to put the bad experience behind and have the fortitude to try again with another workshop leader. What’s really upsetting about a lot of things I hear about the nature photography workshop business is that it…

Top 10 mistakes to avoid during a photography workshop
Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by Paul Burwell.
Yeah, we get it! The camera brand you’ve chosen is the best and anyone who chose a different brand (or even a different model) is a freakin’ idiot. Please leave the fanatic mentality at home and let people wallow…

Spring Black Bears – A video report
Posted on 28. May, 2009 by Paul Burwell.
I just returned from a very successful workshop focussed on spring Black Bears. The workshop was held at the Riding Mountain Guest Ranch just outside Riding Mountain National Park in south west Manitoba, Canada. If you’ve never been to this area of the world you really owe yourself a visit. It is truly a remarkable area of the continent with a huge variety…

Workshop style poll – There seem to be a couple of ways for workshop leaders to run their workshops and I’d like to find out from my readers, what their preference is. I’ve blogged previously about my preferences, but it came to my attention that there are at least some people…

Captive behaviour ain’t easier
Posted on 22. Jan, 2009 by Paul Burwell.
I’m currently conducting a winter wildlife photography workshop. The one thing I’m always stressing to the group is to watch for behaviour. And even when you’re photographing captive animals, it is still necessary to be…

If you, like a lot of North Americans, are suffering through a long cold winter, you’ll hopefully get some warmth from this month’s update that focuses on some spring wildlife of Alberta, and specifically Red Fox and their Kits.
