WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Animals are constantly in motion and
their movements are unpredictable.
Continuous autofocus is, therefore, a very
useful technique because it helps to keep
track of them. It is important for you to
understand the habits of the animals you
intend to photograph so you can try and
anticipate how they might move. You can
learn about them in books or online, talk
to an animal expert, or even go out with a
guide. It is vital to treat the animals with
respect, and to put their needs first.
