Lately, I have become really interested in wildlife photography. Animals draw my attention more than landscapes. While reading an article by Melissa Groo, I learned several tips to improve my pictures of wildlife:
- Wear quiet clothing
- Wear camo gloves
- Don't wear any reflective jewelry
- Don't wear perfume or use scented detergent on your clothes
- Remain in the shade as opposed to in the sun
- Approach the animal from downwind
- Move slowly
- When the animal notices you, allow it to get used to you being there
- When the animal drops its head, move towards it
- When the animal raises its head, stop moving
- Avoid eye contact
- Approach the animal at an angle
- Don't block the animal's escape route
This is just a brief summary of the tips that Melissa suggests, and I look forward to implementing them in the field.
