Natural Light for Beautiful Wildlife Portraits

Most wildlife photography I do when I travel, however, is done with the available light. I prefer the natural look, as the ambient light, as I can choose the type of lighting. I try to avoid direct sunlight during midday, for example. The shadow is so much more attractive for outdoor portraits because it preserves the subtle light and dark relationship with the subject. Flash even fill flash, it tends to eliminate or reduce these subtle details.
