Your Bio

Dennis Fast



Welcome to my world! I hope you plan to stay a while to enjoy some of the many photos of wildlife and nature that you will find here. My travels in pursuit of wildlife have taken me to adventures that very few people get to experience.

As a speaker at photo workshops and business conventions my journey continues across our great countries of Canada and the USA.

Beauty is everywhere, when you take the time to look, but it begins first of all in the heart.

FLOWERS : As a wildlife photographer I find flowers to be a relaxing break from action. Flowers are as intricate and varied as any subject in nature, and at least they don't run or fly away just as you get them into focus! The main challenges with flowers are the wind and the proper depth of field. Flowers tend to look their best when separated from their background by appropriate blur. When done right, photographs of flowers can cheer your day and add some romance to your life.

BIRDS I HAVE KNOWN : My passion for photography began with an early love affair with birds. They are not only beautiful, but represent the freedom from the bonds of earth and gravity that has made mankind want to fly since time began. The more I watched birds, the more I wanted to photograph them, and I am sharing some of my favourites with you here.

AURORA BOREALIS : Northern Lights (aurora borealis) never cease to amaze me. I know the scientific explanation for them, but they make me want to believe in magic and that they are dancing just for me! On this night, I think they were!!

Animals of Montana : Recently I had the privilege of photographing wildlife at Animals of Montana which is a game farm run by Troy Hyde & Tracy Krueger. Troy trains animals to "perform" in movies and for professional photographers. Up to this point, all my animals had been photographed in the wild, so I was a little apprehensive about how a shoot with captive animals would go. I need not have worried, because Troy's animals are well kept and amazingly responsive to his control. Almost all published photos of wolves and mountain lions and other shy creatures of the wild have been photographed in places like Animals of Montana. What worried me most was that my photos would all look posed, but Troy's animals are allowed to run free in wild settings or in huge temporary enclosures. At the same time, they are repeatedly brought back into camera range by Troy and his excellent staff. The result of all this is, that, although you have animals in camera range, it is still up to you to react to animals behaving naturally and to be ready to capture the definitive moments. It is definitely a challenge, but also very rewarding, because many of the photos I got could not be duplicated in the wild even with years of effort. If you are a professional wildlife photographer, or someone who simply enjoys photographing animals for the sheer wonder of them, I couldn't recommend any place more highly than Animals of Montana.
