    Thank you all for coming! If you'd like to see my work I'm around the internet as NateintheWild. Instagram Website
  2. NateintheWild
    Other platforms are a better fit for more informal posting styles, but I still try to center my online-identity around my work as an artist.

    I'm still in the mode of "Bangers only" for Instagram at least. I want to share my best work there and I don't want to succumb to the dumb trend of low-effort iphone videos for engagement. I am a photographer/videographer so I want to share the highest quality work I possibly can.

    We've been super into Magic: The Gathering recently 😅

    But yes literally! I start my day with exercise (sometimes gym, sometimes climb a mountain with skis on my back), then send some emails/edit (depending on where I am in a project), the cats never leave me alone so always that a little bit, and then we wind down with Netflix/games!
  6. NateintheWild
    Yep, that pretty much covers it! 😂

    For me, my camera is part of experiencing a place. I genuinely love photography, and figuring out how to frame and capture a scene is one of the things that makes me happiest. I don't stress about "seeing it with my eyes" vs through the viewfinder because I'm living my life to the fullest regardless.

    Thanks Laura! Great to see you again!

    If it's a BIG project I use a large Pelican hardcase and pack all my camera gear in there with an AirTag

    My personal preference is to keep all my gear in my backpack (I use a Shimoda 50L), so that even if my suitcase gets lost I still have my cameras. I can buy new shoes/clothes no matter where I'm going, but a replacement for a Sony 100-400 is a little harder to come by.

    Stressfully!

    Good luck!

    You need to find a way to tell the story in a way that matters to people who aren't connected to the issue. Explain why this affects them and why they should care/do something about it. It's not always easy to find that thread, but it's mandatory in my opinion.
  14. NateintheWild
    As for the storytelling, that's complicated and subject dependent, but the most important part is to make it relatable. Your average person knows that polar bears are endangered, but why should someone living in Chicago care about a bear 3,000 miles away?

    I think the easiest way to get in is to volunteer your time and photography skills. Lots of conservation orgs are in dire need of photo/video and are desperately low on funds, so donating your photos is a huge help vs trying to pitch them to fund your trip.

    I think the biggest mistake is having too long of a shutter speed. People tend to get scared away from high ISO and then shoot with a 30s (or longer) shutter speed and then you have star trails rather than crisp stars.

    Japanese Moon Orcas, got it

    I'm not sure how to say this without sounding like a weirdo, but I am in general....not interested in photographing people. BUT, if you like people photography then that's a fun option! You don't need a solar filter during totality though, for what it's worth.

    Return trip preferred but not mandatory

    Oh I just realized also I never answered the question. Yes I would go to the moon in a heartbeat, this afternoon, without even saying goodbye to anyone, if the opportunity arose.

    Greenland, Pakistan, Namibia

    Earth is just shy of 4x the diameter of the moon, so there's a chance an eclipse viewed from the moon would just be pure blackness.
  23. NateintheWild
    It is a pretty fortunate coincidence that from our perspective here on Earth that the lunar disc and solar disc are approximately the same size, so much so that we get to see solar eclipses. That's a very lucky coincidence that does NOT happen on every planet.
  24. NateintheWild
    NOW we're talking!! But yeah i guess if you were on the moon it would still be a solar eclipse but with the earth doing the blocking.

    16-35mm if you want some landscape in the shot, or the 200-600 if you want to get right up on that sucker
