Outdoor Photographer Magazine “While I may find a scene interesting as I stand on the ground, I often find myself wondering what it would look like if I climbed a tree and shot it that way,” says Jim Oltersdorf, who recently taped the Discovery Channel special, “Risk Takers 2: High-Risk Photographer Jim Oltersdorf.”

Check out his take on extreme wildlife photography. Then, tell us about your coolest wildlife adventure in the comments!

This is a great photo, and while I don't have any stories of animals that will eat your face off, I do have one of an animal which could headbutt me to death. A buddy and I were backpacking in Alaska and kept seeing a flash of white int he distance. Then the flash of white saw us, and he decided he was curious. It turned out to be a dahl sheep that walked to within 15m of us. Caught some great shots out of that experience.

Nothing nearly as adventerous for me... some backyard birding and a few deer in NJ is as "wild" as it has gotten for me ;)

One thing we can all agree on (I think) is to get out there... be present and enjoy where you are while practicing our craft. All are good times.

Wow, the GigaScape is crazy! I have done panos as large as 54 images, just using my Pentax K20D and a tripod, but 144 images is just out of control! Way to go!

Ian Plant’s landscapes aren’t abstracts and they aren’t entirely literal. Plant uses uniquely photographic techniques and tools to transform the scene, and his images end up going far beyond a documentary shot.

Remembering a moment by taking a photo of it with any camera is freezing that moment and holding it forever, no matter what you're holding in your hand! Think back to how we all started, 110's lil point and shoots? Keep that in mind guys.....That's how i started, I keep my lil 110 on the wall in my studio for that very reason. Years later I bumped ... Read Moremyself up to an A2E, then a 40D, and I keep graduating up. Although I do still use an AE1 w/Mamiya 50mm 1.4 for macros from time-time, I probably dont have the bratty funding you guys have, but I'm currently a pro shooter here in Iraq. With all the gear I have, I'll never forget that lil 110...

SP: and a computer was just for adding and multiplying until someone developed more advanced features, applications and technologies. And now we're on Facebook... unless you want to delete everything but the calculator icon from your desktop. Camera phones are novel in some respects (so were computers once, and cars, and...) but I think they're ... Read Moreadditions not replacements. I believe they enable entertainment and documentation not previously possible, and truly have only a minimal impact on high-quality "real" cameras function and market.

I also take Popular Photography and Shutterbug and of the three, Outdoor Photographer is clearly the best. I think it is the best magazine of all photography related magazines.

Sorry - but Bass Harbour is a can't miss as well. And don't forget a labster roll or lobster dinner while you are there. What can be better - photographing sunset over the harbor and then finishing with a great lobster dinner right off the boat.
