Capturing the Moment, The Art & Science of Photographing Wild Animals

Photographing wildlife is one of the most rewarding areas of photography. It touches our emotions, is dynamic and fast moving, and when we allow ourselves to enter an animal's world, the experience changes our lives.

Featuring over 50 of her beautiful wildlife photos from North America and Africa, as well as numerous charts, tables and graphs, the information presented is ideal for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
The book expands on the ideas central to Kathleen's photography techniques and reflects the latest advances in technology (including mirrorless and AI).
