Wildlife Photography Tips - Red Squirrels in the Snow (Canon R6 & Canon EF 500mm f/4 Lens)

I'm sharing my tips on photographing Red Squirrels - from a photography hide in a wild Scottish forest. With a brief covering of snow, the setting is just perfect for nature photography and I achieve some of my best photos ever of this beautiful animal.

I'm shooting with a Canon R6 camera & Canon EF 500mm f/4 lens. I'll show you how to get the correct exposure in these woodland conditions, including by reading the histogram. There's plenty more wildlife photography tips and techniques in this vlog.
