ADULT BEAVER AND YOUNG DRY FORK RIVER, WAR, WEST VIRGINIA, USA “Every evening, a local resident brought crab apples to the bank of the river for the beaver. For the beaver, this was like candy and they were not shy about swimming up to the bank and grabbing an apple to eat. Here, a young beaver is tempted to snatch the apple from its parent.” Nikon D90 with 70-300mm lens; 1/400 sec at ƒ/4; ISO 640; handheld. OPPOSITE: JUVENILE BEAVER DRY FORK RIVER, WAR, WEST VIRGINIA, USA “My dad and I discovered the best time to photograph the family of beaver was during the late afternoon when the sun was directly behind us. Because of the mountains surrounding the river, we only had about an hour of this sweet light.” Nikon D80 with 70-300mm lens; 1/200 sec at ƒ/7.1; ISO 500; handheld. We have just finished the second Buddy the Beaver book titled “Mystery of the Missing Friend” that we hope to have out this fall or early spring. I was photographing with a Nikon D80, but my mom and dad got me a Nikon D90, which I love to use. I also get to use all my dad’s lenses and accessories. I am now using my Dad’s Nikon D300s. It’s very fast! In 2010, I was invited to be the opening keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the North American Nature Photography Association in Reno Nevada. Although I got to skip school, I still had to do my homework. I enjoyed giving the program to nearly 400 photographers from around the world. After my talk I served as co-Master of Ceremonies with my dad. I even got to meet and introduce famous nature photographers like Joel Sartore of National Geographic and Staffan Widstrand of Sweden. I love photography because it gets me outside and I get to see and learn so many new things about our wonderful world. Learn more about Carson’s work at www.carsonclarkphoto.com
