Wildlife photography - How adventurous it could be?

 Mike admired photography and cameras since his childhood. His grandpa had a camera that used to take photos with film rolls fixed on it. His grandpa had even custom-made a "dark room" so that he could develop the photos by himself from the negatives. Mike always wished to see how the photographs were developed. 

Grandpa knew how passionate Mike was when he accidentally broke an old camera tripod and started crying inconsolably. Mike broke the tripod as he was trying to take a photo in an old camera that used to be kept on tripods. Grandpa had fixed the tripod and asked Mike to click a photo. Even Though he was unsure, he ended up clicking a photo. Grandpa asked Mike if he was interested to know how to develop a negative into an actual photograph. 

Mike was very excited and for the first time, he visited the dark room. As the name mentions, the room was dark and grandpa had a red light inside where anyone could hardly see around. There was a rectangular tray, some bottles, a thread tied across and so on. He carefully observed his grandpa as he removed the film and completed the process. Finally, grandpa clipped the photograph on the thread so that the photograph dries out completely. 

Mike was very observant and mastered the technique after trying out the process for a few times. Mike grew up and dreamt of being a renowned photographer. He had set up his own photo studio and used to shoot wedding photos. 

However, he didn't find the work that exciting and wanted to do more. After saving up quite an amount, he bought a good camera and great lens apt for wildlife photography. He also did a course specializing in wildlife photography so that he could be familiar with the techniques. He also got an opportunity to assist a famous wildlife photographer. 

He wished to be an independent photographer and wanted to go on his own wildlife expedition. He decided to take matters into his own hands. He explored various jungles, went on wildlife safaris and shot various photographs of different animals. He held an exhibition of his photo collection and this has grabbed the eyeballs of various photography experts. One of his many albums (collection of photographs) was noteworthy and won awards and acclaim. He became a famous and budding wildlife photographer which made his old grandpa proud.
