How you can think like a wildlife photographer

Send us Fan MailIn my wildlife photography tips podcasts, I always recommend that people practice on birds. But why should they do that?Well, for one thing, most of us have access to these wild animals and they allow us to get to know our cameras.Photographing birds is also an opportunity to start thinking like a wildlife photographer: Where is the best lighting? How can I position myself to get the best shots? What influences the animals' behaviour? How important is time of day?These are just a few of the questions you should be asking yourself.When it comes to using your camera, have you thought about whether back-button focus is appropriate? How can you get your camera's auto-focus system to work most efficiently? What shutter speed should you use? Are you shooting RAW?I go through a number of these options and issues in the podcast. In some cases, there will be conflicting opinions about which option is best in certain situations. In those cases, I suggest you do what is most comfortable for you. The most important thing is for you to be shooting images you love and for you to continue to experiment with and evolve your photography. I hope you enjoy it.It's time for another podcast...
