THE PRO LAURIE
CAMPBELL CAMERA: NIKON D5
Laurie has spent his career documenting Scotland’s wildlife. He hails from Berwick-upon Tweed and was bitten by the wildlife photography bug in 1972. In 1985 he turned pro, and has since amassed a library of close to 200,000 images. He’s authored and illustrated a variety of books, and has won a plethora of awards.

THE APPRENTICE NEIL WALLACE
CAMERA: NIKON D7200
Scotland-based Neil comes from a farming background, but it was driving HGVs on the continent that prompted him to delve seriously into photography. He wanted an excuse to interact with nature again and was curious about the digital photography revolution, so he picked up his first DSLR and hasn’t looked back since.
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Laurie showed Neil how to set up his camera to help him capture brilliant animal shots
CAMERA SETTINGS
Laurie says… My go-to settings are Manual mode, Raw, Centre-weighted metering and the desired white balance preset. I’ll use manual focus if the subject is still or Single-point AF and AF-C if it’s moving. Continuous-high is useful for sudden bursts of action and I’m not afraid to boost the ISO if needed.
