This time I decided to go to Biebrza in the middle of the winter. I wanted to try photographing animals on the snow. So my friends and me arranged everything, like a house with fireplace, bought some nice food to prepare breakfasts and dinners, packed some bottles of good whiskey and other stuff. We started the trip Friday afternoon and arrived on icy roads to Goniądz about 9pm. Normally such trip takes 3 hours, but in the winter conditions it's much more risky and on the day roads were really like a rink! We spent evening drinking whiskey and browsing mobile internet. Nice. Next day in the morning we decided to photograph some mooses. The best place for these animals in winter time (100% guaranteed!) is Carska Road, so we headed that way dancing on even more slippery roads. After two hours of searching we finally noticed two mooses. But forget about photographing them. It was still dark and foggy. Even with ISO3200 and f4 lens it was like mission impossible. Unfortunately both days were like that - not a chance for good picture. We even hunted for beavers and even saw one! But no picture :(
I must say that it was another not-so-successful Biebrza trip, so I probably must quit this place and try to take pictures in the zoo or so - it's much easier. However please look at the shitty pictures below... this time you can criticize my photography with no limits! I know it's bad, but however I wanted to show you how difficult it is to take good picture of animals in the wilderness. Thus way you can really appreciate pics that you can find on the internet and are of very high quality.
