Wildlife Photography

Wildlife photography can be very enticing once you have mastered the skill of
capturing the animals while hunting, bathing or feeding their young ones. Here
are a few pointers to make it worth your while:
1. Rise and Shine The main factor of wildlife photography is the lighting,
especially in the early mornings and late afternoons just before
sunset. You have to be in the field during this time, so drop the
excuses, get up earlier and go get that shot!
2. Make use of a tripod
Sharpness is a must for any wildlife photograph that is going to be admired
or published. If your pictures are not sharp, forget it. They won’t cut it. Always use
a tripod for your camera whenever possible. In Africa, this would have to be inside your vehicle, as you can not leave your vehicle to use a tripod while
photographing dangerous animals, make use of a bracket that goes onto the door
of your car.

3. Get that prime lens
Having used both zoom and prime lenses over time we have realized that the
prime lens is sharper, faster and smaller than zoom lenses. They are expensive, but there is nothing that would improve your photography more than using the best equipment.
Getting the right lens as soon as possible will help improve your photography
with leaps and bounds.
4. Find the right spot Find a place where it is still really wild. Nothing beats the photographs you get when you go into the real wilderness. When you have taken pictures in the Okavango Delta, you will never photograph in your back garden again
- trust us!
5. Get some action into those photos
There are a lot of photo's of wildlife lazing around or sleeping, so make the
change and get that action shot! Your results will improve drastically once you start taking photographs of animals
hunting or mating. Start trying to capture that special moment where the Impala is flying through the air while fleeing something, or the lion is chasing the warthog, or even just a pretty water bird catching a frog.
