I\u2019ve spoken with photographers who\u2019ve spent tens of thousands of dollars enduring the Antarctic cold to get up close with penguins, or who risked getting lost in the Amazon jungle to photograph the harpy eagle, an extremely rare bird that nests high in the forest canopy, out of sight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But sometimes we just want to keep it close to home.
