Micael Widell Newsletter #43
Captain’s log
October was the month I embarked on a new journey: wildlife photography. I made several videos about this, first one where I explained why I want to try wildlife photography, then several where I document my first few wildlife photography sessions. It has been a lot of fun, but also frustrating at times. I plan on continuing doing some wildlife photography throughout the winter, on days where macro photography is hard due to lack of interesting subjects outdoors.
My ambition is a nice mix between wildlife and macro photography during the winter months, depending on weather conditions and what I feel inspired to do each particular week. In the summer, I will probably continue to focus mostly on macro photography. I am happy that the wildlife videos have gotten a decent amount of views and many positive comments.

Very nice printing service
I’ve discovered an absolutely phenomenal printing company called Fracture. They asked if they could sponsor one of my videos, and after seeing a few of my photos printed using their glass pane printing process, I definitely wanted them on as a sponsor. Great prints at a very decent price.
Check my video for some examples of how the prints look, then go order some yourself :) Please remember though that they ship from the United States, so depending on what country you live in, you might get charged a customs fee.
Inspiring photos from Instagram
Here are some photographs I have found on Instagram recently that I really love and find inspiring. Click the username to visit the photographer’s instagram profile and follow them.
