How to Get the Ultimate Beaver Shot | Not for You, Billly


Credit:  Louis-Marie Preau

Treehugger:  Photographer waited in a river nightly for 4 years to get this singular shot of a beaver

Donning snorkeling gear and weights, Louis-Marie Preau would lie motionless on the riverbed for 2 to 3 hours a night waiting for the perfect photo.

Suffice to say, photographers can be a bit obsessive. And wildly patient. Both of which are wonderfully, beautifully evident in this jaw-dropping photo of a Eurasian beaver fetching dinner in the Loire region of western France.

The next time you feel like whining about the difficulties of being a musician, how about telling it to the Beaver King, Louis-Marie Preau.
