Wildlife Photography

Wildlife is a very time consuming type of photography however you can capture some stunning photos with some patience and perseverance. In order to take high quality wildlife photos you will need a good DSLR or SLR camera. This is due to the need to often zoom in on far away animals and other scenery and the zoom on point and shoot cameras is not extensive enough to shoot from far away. Wildlife photography also requires a large amount of patience and plenty of food as you will often spend hours in order to take the perfect image. A tripod is a must for this type of photography due to the need for the images to be steady for a quick image to be taken. Photos of this type will often end up in animal magazines and photography journals due to the skills that is required to take a high quality wildlife photograph.Wildlife photography is taken in lots of different locations such as Africa and Asia but also in European counties like France and Italy. Wildlife photography does not have to be beautiful, it can be used to show a serious issue such as oil poisoning or the danger of plastic for birds. It can be argued that although it is less appealing to look at, this type of photography has a much greater impact and is therefore a better choice for wildlife photographers.

Wildlife photography is one of my favourite types of photography. I find the use of motion and action in this type of photography to be very engaging. Although I have only tried wildlife photography twice, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
