Synopsis

Goofy gives us the "How-To" about nature photography, especially wildlife photography. Naturally, Humphrey does not want his picture taken. Goofy empties an entire camera store as he dives head-first into his new hobby: photography. This short is crammed with puns, parodies, and sight gags related to "the latest" in camera equipment and techniques, circa 1950 -- even before it detours into a frenzied, furiously animated chase once Goofy has annoyed Humphrey during his "nature photography" zoo outing. (Flashes in the distance show us that even while racing for his life, the Goof is still trying to get "the perfect shot" of the angry bear pursuing him.)

Every disney filmography says that this was the first apperance of Humphery,i too find this hard to belive,perhaps it was sombody related to humphery.
