Mountaineering was his frst passion, where he learnt how to climb as well as how to survive in tough conditions. He © found himself getting more and more fascinated with the ‘unique wildlife and documenting what he had seen on camera. His big break came when he received first prize for fa photegraph he had taken of grizaly bear in the Rocky. Mountains in North America. He was soon approached by 1» an international magazine ta photograph animals that ive in mountain arees. His first job was to return to the Rocky Mountains to documenttthe lives of grey wolves. ended up searching for them high and low and got some great photos 45 of the deer that they hunt, too. I soon realised that being a ‘wildlife photograph er ticked all the boxes: travel, adventure and dimbing! He's now a world-renowned photographer and has had his, work exhibited in numerous galleries. came along at the ‘ght time/ he says. ‘When I started, there werea number 29 of people who were known for their workin the jungle or the desert, but | realised that there weren’t any skilled climbers among them. Sol became the person who took pictures of wildlife high up. It was as if all these animals, and birds were waiting to be photographed in their natural 25 habitats. The technology was very different then. You could easily run out of film, butwith digital cameras you can goon taking photos until you get the right shot. You can also take ‘the photos straightaway without waiting for the right light, as most cameras adjust for so this automatically’ ‘I tain the root of my success was that I was able to throw myself into the job straightaway. Untie most climbers, was a keen photographer, and unlike mest photographers, { was a keen climber. Ive spent so much timein the mountains itfeels 3: like a walkin the paris As long as you have the right experience, prepare well and know how to source food to eat and water to drink, you'll normally get the shots you're after. Ihave had alot of successes and a few failures one timelwasin «¢ ‘Yosemite Park to photograzh bobcats at night and 1 forgot to take a camera that would take photos in the dark? When Dennis visited the Himalayas last year to photograph snow leopards in their natural habitat, ‘s ‘he wasn't counting on it beingan easy affair. As ‘well as the danger of trying to photograph a big cat close up, he also ceme up against difficultics connected with spending a long time at aigh altitude and in freezing temperatures, all of % ‘which were extremely challenging, Spotting snow leopards can be hard enough, so much so that they are known asthe ghost of the mountains. Finally, after three weeks, he came across the tracks of one of these animals in the snow. He was able to follow 5: Itacross the mountain ridgeand take photos of it living its daily ife. He says thet at this point he forgot about all the problems he'd had and started to enjoy the experience of being ¢o close toa snow leopard. « Looking ahead, Dennis would like to return to the Himalayas to make a documentary on how hunting and the destruction of the places where snow leopardslive by the local population has led to these animals being close to extinction, Teaming s up with filmmakers and conservation groups, he hopes to educate local people about the risks they face and hopefully raise money for animal welfare charities, In general, Dennis says he has no regrets about > turning his hobby into a job. 've been lucky enough to have some fantastic experiences, but sometimes you can be waiting for hours in dreadful conditions for the perfect shot and nothing happens! Thiscan get you down, but the great “= photos and experiences makeit all worthwhile’ He sayshe doesn't mind the hardships of spending. most of his time up a mountain, but he thinks it's frustrating thet the time he spends away means that he doesn't get to-sec his friends and farily _s as often as he would like. For example, he will ‘miss New Year celebrations this year as he has an assignment to film wildlife in Ecuador Lok nd ecire ©© complete te senterceawiththecorect form of a phrazal verb or expreszion from Exercise 1. 1 The new members of the climbing club were complete beginners, but totheir credit they ‘authe practice activities with open minds ard learnt the techniques very quickly 2.
