Tips when photographing wildlife
April 23, 2020
Photographing wildlife could get you accolades in the
world of photography. However, it could also get you
killed or seriously injured if you haphazardly
photograph wildlife in their territory. Shooting a wild
animal with a camera doesn’t stop them. This is why it
is imperative that wildlife photographers master the
disciplines when taking nature photography.
Photographer Fred Brisker believes that there is a great
deal of respect needed for one to become a good
wildlife photographer.
Keep in mind that a wildlife photographer is and will always be an ally of nature. Here are a couple of tips
you need to follow to keep you safe when photographing wildlife.
Learn as much as you can about your subject
If you have a particular subject in mind like a water buffalo or a hippo, it is necessary to know as much as
you can about them in terms of how they interact with their surroundings. Key questions to ask include
“Are they aggressive,” “What is their behavior when being attacked,” and “What is a safe distance when
coming closer to them?” If there are no clear answers over the internet, ask a wildlife expert or your guide
if you have one.
Use a zoom lens
When a bird photographer takes shots of birds perched
on a tree, they don’t climb trees to get close. This is the
same reason why photographers should use zoom
lenses to take great photos of wildlife without risking
their lives. There are times when you don’t need to do
this, like when you’re taking photos of harmless
creatures. But if you are taking photos of larger
creatures like bears, it would be best to keep your
distance.
According to Fred Brisker, knowing these two tips can save your life. They can also help photographers
appreciate wildlife better.
