About John Fast Photography
Photography by John Fast
I exclusively use Canon equipment in my wildlife and scenic photography. My go to lens for wild life is the 600mm f/4 USM often coupled with a 1.4 extender for bird photography. For landscapes I use either a the 17-35 or the 24-105.
My Photographic Journey
As long as I can remember photography has been a part of my life. I have snapshots of me at six or seven with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye in my hands. As many other interests including fly fishing, flying, amateur radio and wood working entered into my my life and faded, I realized that in some way, I managed to weave photography into each of them. Only photography has endured.
Focus on Wildlife and Nature
My passion for wildlife photography began with trips to Alaska and along with scenic photography of the natural world define my interests today.
Passion for Sharing
I am often asked about the source of my patience for photographing wildlife. Quite simply it is the anticipation of the unexpected behavior which can keep me for hours on end watching animals be they moose, a bear or a bird. A similar anticipation holds for scenic photography as I watch the light play over the landscape waiting for that special moment of light and shadow that beckons me to capture it to share with others.
These unique moments of animal behavior or landscape display exist only for me at that instant and it is my hope that I can create an image from them so that others can experience and share with me a moment otherwise lost to time.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy some of my images and the moment in time they represent.
In addition to local CT wildlife I have been privileged to photograph brown and black bears in Alaska, moose in Maine and birds in Florida. I particularly enjoy landscape photography in New England and the Southwest.
