Wildlife photography is very exciting, but it requires a lot of patience and dedication. While you may get frustrated when first starting out, don't give up because your efforts will be rewarded. Many photographers will spend a whole day trying to get a specific shot! Below are tips that will either help you get started as a wildlife photographer, or will motivate you to continue as a wildlife photographer. It is wonderful to capture the beauty around you, and animals are particularly fun to photograph.
1. This tip cannot be stressed enough- be patient. Many people will get frustrated, but by being patient, unexpected things will happen.
2. Don't get too close. It is likely that if you get too close to animals, they will run away. No matter if you are photographing in national parks, jungles, the wilderness, etc., it is of upmost importance to give animals space, and wait for them to come to you if they so choose (animal are very curious).
3. Photograph wildlife in their environment. While it is fun to photograph exotic animals at the zoo, it is more authentic to incorporate where they actually live into the background.
4. Experiment with different shutter speeds. If you photograph a cheetah running with a fast shutter speed, you will freeze the action. On the other hand, with a slow shutter speed, you will get a blurred effect.
5. Occasionally, the wildlife will compose the image for you (this is where it can be good to be patient). If you just look through your lens and observe the animals, you may be surprised and get some unique shots.
6. You will probably enjoy photographing wildlife more if you purchase a zoom lens. With a zoom lens you can "get closer" to the animals without disturbing them or putting yourself in danger.
Remember to stay inspired by viewing the work of other wildlife photographers. You can search for wildlife photographers online or in photography magazines.
