It looks like you can get photograph any wildlife you want these days. I thought Snow Leopards were rare and hard to find, requiring weeks of looking and waiting. The guy in the video is a landscape photographer...

The local guides do all the work, the photographers just claim the credit.....probably some radio tracking involved too although its likely that wont be mentioned

Yep. There are guides radioing in reports and the photographers speed off in Landcruisers to the animals. Heaton's latest video chasing Pallas cats is a good one for a laugh. Vehicles driving across snowy wastes on road tyres and getting stuck!
There's a workshop or tour to photograph everything these days. Even sheep!

I always skip through most photography videos for the same reason.
No way I'd start doing tours.
That sort of thing is popular though.The 'street photography' ones must be money for jam.

To be fair, the street ones could benefit those uncomfortable going out on their own photographing people in public, or who dont have an eye for those type of photographs and need some help. Being totally antisocial (probably got agoraphobia tbh
) its not a type of photography i`d want to pursue these days.

I've seen that on Talkphotography where people say they want to do street photography but feel intimidated by people. I'm not comfortable with horses(unpredictable kicking biting things
) but I don't want to go on an equine photography course!

I'm not keen on cattle either. Clumsy beasts. I mentioned my distrust of cows to a dairy farmer who said that he'd never had any trouble with them. Apart from one breaking his ribs!
Mind you, I've been headbutted on the knees and shins by a few sheep now. They aren't smart enough to know they can run round you and try to run through you.

Yeah sheep are pretty dim
I had a fox run straight into my legs at a local nature reserve years ago.....it was being chased by a dominant male around mating time and was so intent on getting away it ran straight into me
