It’s in the bag…a short video highlighting what camera equipment photographer Michael Mauro takes when shooting a commercial assignment.

Every year I look forward to May and early June. A time when the Colorado comes alive again…the brown of winter gives way to the green of spring. From the urban greenbelts near my studio in west metro Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park baby wildlife can be found just about everywhere. One of my favorite places is a fairly large green belt about 4 miles away where I am almost guarenteed to find baby foxes. The area is frequented by joggers, walkers, bikers, and birdwatchers which have made the foxes fairly accustomed to people so getting close enough with my 500mm lens is fairly easy.
Just so you know I never approach the fox dens directly and I always try to maintain a twenty to forty yard buffer so that the foxes still have a comfort zone and act natural. From this distance I’m always treated to some pretty exciting antics as the young foxes run around testing and learning their much needed life skills. Some of my other favorite spring subjects include mule deer and whitetail deer fawns, calf elk, ducklings and goslings and baby avocets to mention a few.

Accessories – You’ve seen our commercial shoot camera bag…now we show what we take when we are out shooting wildlife. Comments and or questions send us an email. Cheers, Michael

What about HDR?  At first, I thought it won’t work for me…I tend to be to “pure” and really never manipulate any of the images I shoot, heck I don’t even crop…what I shot is what you see.  But after several weeks of looking at HDR images on the internet and talking with a buddy [...]

My camera has taken me all over the world…one of the coolest places I was fortunate enough to travel to was Wudang Mountain China.   We were there to produce a television pilot and I took every opportunity possible to photograph the people and culture.  Images stats – Canon 1D Mark II – Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 [...]

Everything I shoot these days is in high definition and I never get a chance to use much of the “old” standard definition footage that is just sitting here on the hard drives.  Recently we were producing a “web only” piece and we got a chance to use some of that “old” footage.
