Urban Wildlife and Photo Projects for 2026 - Wildlife Photo Chat

It’s been over 3 weeks since Brad and Ray recorded so there is a lot to catch up on. Ray visited Costa Rica for 10 days, then Florida for a bit then back to Phoenix, Arizona. He went to Sedona for a bit then off to Los Angeles to spend time with family where he went into downtown LA to photograph birds in a city environment which was incredibly fun! Brad spent the time with family as well and due to weather didn’t get to explore as much photography as he usually does in that location but he dove deep into working with waterfowl and urban lights, specifically Christmas lights on a local pond. For the topic the guys share about the ways they tried to push themselves creatively in 2025 and hope to continue pushing and exploring in 2026! Hope you enjoy the concepts in this episode and thanks to everyone who has been watching along and especially for those who have additionally supported the show who we thank below.
