Animal photography - impressively beautiful

Taking beautiful pictures of often mobile animals is not easy. Yet it's a branch of photography that many people really enjoy doing. Then it's useful if you have good tips for that. The most important thing is that you know your camera and its options very well. In addition, it is important that you have knowledge of the animals in their surroundings. Then a beautiful photo is a matter of time and patience.

Many of the previous lessons come together in this blog. The links I posted open in a new window.

Camera, lenses & accessories

A camera where you can determine the shutter speed yourself is very nice when it comes to animal photography. ( lesson 2 on camera choice )
A lens which allows you to zoom in is also very nice, to get a nice picture of animals at a distance. You can work with a telephoto lens with a fairly wide range of 300 mm . This also allows you to take beautiful close-up photos remotely. ( lesson 3 on lens choice )
A tripod can be useful, although it makes you less movable. A pipbag can also work for adequate support.
Also in the macro stand, or with a macro lens, you can take beautiful animal photos. For example, even the details of animal wings can be captured beautifully. Very early in the morning, the colder air causes insects to be quiet, and then they allow them to be photographed more easily. ( lesson 21 on macro photography )
