The Prepared Wildlife Photographer

9 lessons with Moose Peterson · Gear, settings, and skills made second nature

Wildlife doesn’t wait.

Moose gets you ready before it shows up.

When the bear steps out of the trees, you have seconds to get it right, and if you're still thinking about exposure or focal length, the moment is gone. Join Moose Peterson for a class built on one idea: make the technical decisions before the subject shows up. From firmware checks and sensor cleaning to long-lens handholding, his teddy bear exposure exercise, flash for color, and choosing between teleconverters and crop mode, Moose shows you how to make your gear and settings second nature so all that's left is the story.

What You'll Learn

✓

Make your camera field-ready

Firmware updates that sharpen autofocus, battery conditioning that stretches every charge, and the simple fix for a camera that locks up from static

✓

Keep your sensor and glass spotless

A safe, step-by-step routine for mirrorless sensors and telephoto rear elements, plus the habits that keep dust out in the first place

✓

Handhold and pan at 600mm and beyond

Three points of contact, the finger roll that fires without shake, panning from the trunk, and a tripod routine you can run without looking

✓

Master exposure with the teddy bear exercise

Bracket three stuffed bears through changing light, understand how long lenses shrink your focus band, and set up a shot in under 30 seconds

✓

Use flash to bring out color

Where to position it for shadow-free light in any orientation, and how distance, ISO, and aperture control the result

...across all 9 lessons, from the night-before gear check to the split second the subject appears.

Why This Course Matters

Most wildlife education covers what to do in front of the animal. This class is about everything before that.

A teleconverter that wasn't cleaned. A battery never conditioned. An exposure guess on a dark subject against snow. None of these are talent problems. They're preparation problems, and preparation can be learned. You'll leave with a repeatable gear-readiness system, a practice routine you can run in your backyard, and the confidence to stop worrying about your camera and start paying attention to the animal in front of you.
