TOPIC: GENERAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

OUR CRITIQUE: MARK KRAUS

BIO: I am a Nature Photographer living in Cincinnati, Ohio. My passion is photographing wildlife indigenous to the Southern Ohio area. I have
always loved doing things outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. Now I bring many of those skills to my photography. I like to show views of wildlife many have not seen before. A good portion of my
photos are taken at local parks around the greater Cincinnati area.

I have been photographing on and off for about 30 years. About 15 years
ago I made photography a serious hobby, almost an addiction. Changed
totally to digital 8 years ago and never looked back.

Mark has always loved Macro Photography Mark explains, “When I was
starting out years ago I couldn’t get enough of John Shaw books. I
think his book Close-ups in Nature is what started my addiction. I also
like photographing any type of wildlife especially birds and small
animals. If it gets me outdoors or in the woods I will find something
to photograph. And even if I don’t get a shot, it will still be a
great day.”

Mark has won several awards over the years and have had images picked as top photos on the Nikonians web site for Macro and wildlife subjects. This is a web site for Nikon shooters from all over the world. In addition
to have images chosen they did a web interview.
