He has been guiding wildlife and photographic tours for over 20 years. Nick is particularly well known for his work in tropical rainforest areas like Borneo, Amazonia and especially Madagascar. His all-round skills cover anything from photographing primates in the canopy to small subjects and macro photography at ground level. He is very much an advocate of showing subjects to best effect in the context of their environment.<\/p>\n<p>One of his latest images shows the extraordinary, endangered nocturnal Aye-aye foraging in the forest canopy of Madagascar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Nick&#8217;s Favourite Destinations for Wildlife Photography<\/h3>\n<p>We asked Nick to tell us about his favourite destinations for wildlife photography, and the reasons for choosing these locations. His reply was &#8221; My two great wildlife passions are tropical rainforests and big cats and this is very much reflected in my favourite destinations and photographic locations. &#8221;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery gallery-6040 style-standard'><figure class='gallery-item col-0'><div class='gallery-icon landscape'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-360x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-three-two size-three-two\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-375x249.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01365215-159x106.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"100vw\" title=\"Dawn over the Segama River, with mist hanging over lowland rainforest.

It is a completely immersive experience. At dawn, mists swirl around the canopy and watery rays of golden sunlight push through to illuminate the gloomy forest floor. The air is filled with a cacophony of sounds as birds, primates and insects call. It is magical. No other habitat provides such a wealth and diversity of subjects to seek out and photograph, from beetles, bugs and frogs at ground level to primates in the canopy. My favourite rainforest is Danum Valley in Sabah, Borneo, but there are so many others that provide similar inspiration. For example the unique Marojejy and Andasibe in Madagascar and the sheer scale and feeling of remoteness of Manu in the Peruvian Amazon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery gallery-6040 style-standard'><figure class='gallery-item col-0'><div class='gallery-icon landscape'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-360x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-three-two size-three-two\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-375x249.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01152087-159x106.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"100vw\" title=\"Male Bengal Tiger {Panthera tigris tigris} head profile, Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India.\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure><figure class='gallery-item col-0'><div class='gallery-icon landscape'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-360x240.jpg\" class=\"attachment-three-two size-three-two\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01634591-159x106.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"100vw\" title=\"Puma (Puma concolor puma), female sitting in grassland.

The geothermal heat helps melt deep snow and keeps grazing areas open to the bison. I was exploring the valley by snow coach and was able to get out and position myself so that the light showed the plumes of steam to best effect. With the early morning mist swirling around, the bison in the foreground were often obscured, so I had to wait for the right moment to take this shot. The one on the right had recently emerged from a hot spring, and because it was very cold (around -25\u00b0C) the steam had frozen on its coat, forming a thick layer of frost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/stock-photo\/bush-cricket-or-katydid-(tettigoniidae)-with-spines-camouflaged-amongst-moss\/gallery-10089-10848-10678-0\/detail-0_01608657.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6096 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01608657-159x106.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Moss Mimic<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cTropical montane rainforests, such as Manu Biosphere Reserve in Peru, are characterised by an abundance of mosses and lichens, growing on the ground and vegetation. A bush cricket looking to blend into this moist, high-altitude environment therefore succeeds when, it too, looks like moss. I wanted to depict the insect in the context of its broader forest environment, to show how it not only blends into the moss on the branch, but also the forest itself. I achieved this by using a very close-focusing fisheye lens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/stock-photo\/aggregation-of-butterflies-mainly-bornean-sawtooth-(prioneris-cornelia)\/gallery-10089-10848-10678-0\/detail-0_01475776.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6095 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/01475776-159x106.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Mineral Banquet<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThis image was taken on the edge of a rainforest campsite in Temburong National Park, Borneo. When I arrived at the campsite, I noticed groups of butterflies gathering to feed on minerals. So I supplemented the area by urinating on it! Sure enough, by mid-afternoon the following day, there were dozens of butterflies swarming around the place.<\/p>\n<p>I set up my camera at ground level with a wide-angle lens as close to the butterflies as I could and manually focused on the main spot where they were gathering. I attached an off-camera flash to add in a pulse of extra light. The butterflies flew away while all this was happening, so after attaching a 5 metre long cable release, I retreated and waited for them to congregate again in front of the camera. A slow shutter speed allowed me to create impressionistic blurs of the butterflies in flight, while those that were still and feeding were rendered more sharply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to explore more of Nick Garbutt&#8217;s work, we have\u00a0 created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/-photographers\/e-i\/garbutt-nick.html\">new gallery featuring the best of Nick&#8217;s work<\/a>\u00a0 from locations around the world.
