Take Caution When Photographing Wild Animals
a. Do your research on the animals you want to shoot beforehand. Figure out when they are active, where they like to hang out, and what precautions to take around them. Always think of your safety and the safety, wellbeing of the animal. Find out their comfort level and how close they allow others to be around them. Do not get too close and frighten them or you might be at risk of getting attacked. This will also help in getting a picture of the animal acting naturally as if you weren’t there.
b. Try to find out and decide on what kind of pictures that you want to take of that animal. That way you can patiently wait near the animal until it does that action.

a. Lighting is always important in taking pictures. Most animals are active early in the morning or as the sun is setting. Remember to use the sun’s light by having your back towards the sun.
b. Keep your camera in your hand at all times so that you are always ready to take a shot. Stock multiple batteries and memory for your camera. You might be out there a while taking photos.

d. When taking the shot, always try to get the eyes of the animal. The eyes are where the emotion lies in an animal, since they cannot smile or frown. Also take a few shots at eye level or below to get a different perspective.
e. Try to find a background that will mesh well with the animal and make them pop. You don’t want to have the animal just blend in with the background.
