Top tips to help you take better photos of wildlife in the field
1
Invest in good glass
Wildlife photography is an area where you’ll see a huge improvement when using decent optics, so splash out on the best glass you can buy.
2
Hire a lens
If you can’t stretch to premium glass yet, or you’re not convinced it’s worth the investment, it might be worth hiring a lens for a weekend, and see the results for yourself.
3
Keep practising
A local duck pond is the perfect practice ground to finesse your autofocusing skills on fast-moving airborne targets.
4 D
o your research
Use search engines to find wildlife hides and deer parks close to you. There are all sorts of worthwhile options aside from the big zoos.
