Visitors to the stage spilled out beyond the seats and into the walkways. Fair to say, he&#8217;s come a long way from somebody who was initially encouraged to pursue other interests&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As a teenager trying to decide what to do with his life, Chris naturally gravitated towards science and art \u2013 especially since his mother used to take him to art galleries. His ambitions towards photography were put on hold after his father had seen the iconic film \u201cBlow Up\u201d and decided that a career in photography would be a \u201cwaste of my life\u201d and steered him instead towards science subjects.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_117766&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-117766\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CGP_1596-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">\u00a9 Chris Packham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>The passion for photography never died though, with a trip to France, where Chris shot 36 rolls of film \u2013 shot on a Canon A-1 &#8211; but came away with just two images he was pleased with really sparking the fuse. \u201cIt was an appalling hit rate, but those two pictures were so exciting to me that it spurred me on to do more,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Now, naturally, he concentrates his efforts on wildlife photography. Despite having interests in other genres, he believes his unique set of skills means he\u2019s better off sticking with what he knows. \u201cUnderstanding animals is a definite advantage, which is why I stick with wildlife [photography] rather than other genres,\u201d he explains. \u201cUnderstanding where to go, when to go, how to get close to the animals gives me an advantage \u2013 so I stick to what I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to make the most of any shooting opportunity, Chris extensively researches existing images of animals he\u2019s about to photograph. \u201cI constantly cut things out of magazines and books, a bit like Pinterest, except I do it physically. I try and absorb some of those photographs, without imitating them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Enormous privileges<\/h2>\n<p>Chris also spends a lot of time online looking at images, \u201cso that when I get there, my mind is already in that zone.\u201d Some of his recent penguin images (such as those seen in this post) were shot in Antarctica, a place he describes as an enormous privilege to visit \u2013 and the reason why he wants to make the most of the time he has in that particular location.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_117770&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117770 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CGP_4149-4-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">\u00a9 Chris Packham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Liking as much control as possible, Chris will often use restrictions to keep his mind focused. For example, at home, he might photograph one particular insect over a 50 metre section of a like \u2013 using just two lenses. \u201cFor me that prevents distractions, getting to know the environment means that to some extent, I can \u2018control\u2019 it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the Photography Show, Chris gave a talk on his use of the <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/reviews\/dslrs\/canon-eos-5ds-r-review\">Canon EOS 5DSR<\/a>. This is not a camera, which is particularly thought of as being primed for wildlife photography. Most wildlife photographers will gravitate towards cameras such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/reviews\/dslrs\/canon-eos-1d-x-mark-ii-field-test\">Canon EOS 1DX Mark II<\/a>, which with a fast frame rate is more suited towards capturing moments in wildlife photography. However, with a huge 50 megapixel resolution, the Canon EOS 5DSR has other advantages \u2013 such as the ability to crop closely into an image after you\u2019ve taken it and still have a high enough resolution for print.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m using it for something that it\u2019s not designed to do,\u201d he says, \u201cBut I like that fact, I like that there are certain things I can\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Shooting techniques<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to technique, Chris favours aperture priority mode and manual focus \u2013 another unusual approach to wildlife photography. \u201cI use aperture priority just to give me a starting point, and I check the histogram \u2013 not religiously \u2013 just to get a feel for what\u2019s there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A little wary of the overwhelming nature of Photoshop, Chris sticks mainly with Lightroom for what he describes as \u201clight edits\u201d. Having been on the receiving end of \u201cso much grief\u201d after creating composite shots and the like in Photoshop, it\u2019s not something he tends to do so much nowadays. He\u2019s not averse to capturing multiple exposures in camera though, as shown to great effect in this penguin shot below. He also sees no problem in adjusting images in post-production to get the perfect shot, \u201cOnce I have the image, it\u2019s all about making perfection. I think so long as you\u2019re honest about [making edits], then it\u2019s up to other people to make their own judgements.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_117769&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117769 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CGP_2457-2-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">\u00a9 Chris Packham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>As you might expect, Chris is big on the ethics of the companies he chooses to work with. After discovering links to so-called \u201ctrophy hunters\u201d from many of the binocular manufacturers he previously used, he has switched allegiance to Canon, whom is keen to promote conservation efforts. \u201cI researched this, as I research everything related to this sort of topic,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also mindful of fellow photographers going too far in order to get the best shot possible, putting animals in distress. \u201cI get very cross with photographers who haven\u2019t invested enough time to plan.\u201d Despite this, he still believes it\u2019s important for more people to enter the genre, so long as people as mindful. \u201cWe just have to talk about behaviour and responsibility, it\u2019s essential that more get into wildlife photography, but at the same time they have to accept that there are responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Inspirations<\/h2>\n<p>Inspired all the time by fellow wildlife and nature photographers, such as Andy Rouse, Markus Varesvuo and Terje Kolaas, Chris says the quality of wildlife photography has increased immensely since he started taking photos. \u201cSome of the photos you see today wouldn\u2019t have been taken 30 years ago \u2013 but that\u2019s good because it keeps the standard high.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_117771&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117771 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CGP_6565-11-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">\u00a9 Chris Packham<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Unsurprisingly for a perfectionist, Chris says he\u2019s never really happy with any of his own photos, and in fact has none on his wall, but it\u2019s this constant strive to get better which motivates him to continue with photographer. During Chris&#8217; talk at the show, he spoke of being contacted by Andy Rouse, who told him he had the &#8216;perfect&#8217; image of a tiger. His response &#8211; &#8220;I told him he should put his camera gear in the bath and turn the taps on, as if it is so perfect, what&#8217;s the point of carrying on with photography?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to improve my photography skills for as long as I live, because then I have something to do. I like when there is still progress to be made, rather than standing on a podium saying I\u2019ve done everything I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can see more of Chris\u2019 work at his website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrispackhamphotos.com\">chrispackhamphotos.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest attractions at this year&#8217;s Photography Show at the NEC was the talk that Chris Packham gave at the Canon stand.
