You Won't Believe How Much Patience This Young Photographer Has

Young Belgian wildlife photographer Michel d’Oultremont can travel miles and waif for several days to grab that "Perfect Shot".

In this short video he travels to the Carpathian Mountains in Romania to find and grab a perfect shot of the wild bison, an almost extinct species. His approach to wildlife photography is almost zen like, his discipline, patience and perseverance are what make him special and different himself from his peers.
Can't help to appreciate his approach to wildlife photography “I’d prefer to take a picture of a common bird in a beautiful environment, rather than a rare bird in a [type of] light or environment that wouldn’t make it beautiful.”

At age 22, Michel was awarded the ‘Rising Star’ award in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The award recognizes creative talent of photographers between the ages of 18 and 26.

For those of you wondering about his gear, he's shooting a Canon (not sure what model) with what would have to be a 500mm or 600mm f/4 lens. Let me know in the comments if  you can tell what exact Canon camera he uses.
