The Secrets to Great Wildlife Photography

Send us Fan MailIf you’re listening to this podcast, it’s probably safe for me to assume that you want to take great wildlife photographs. So what are the things you need to think about?I’ve tried to run through an almost step-by-step guide based on my own recent experience of photographing wildlife in Zimbabwe, Australia and Finland.Camera: Take the body and lens (possibly plural) that most suits your needs. And think about ancillary items; storage, battery charger, mains adaptors, USB chargers, cleaning kit, tripod and tripod head. A spray cover, if you have one, can be useful where there is a lot of fine dust and in wet environments.Clothing: Where layers where appropriate, and think about other items such as sleeping bags if you’ll be spending time outside at night.And finally… Inspiration!Look at other photographers' work to get new ideas, and remember to look at what’s around you while you’re there. Is there anything you can use to make the background more interesting, or can you use the light to enhance your subject in some way?For a more detailed guide, check out my book “A Brief Guide to Wildlife Photography” for more ideas.It's time for another podcast...
