WILDLIFE


Johan’s Top Tips



  • Know the animal you’re photographing.
    It’s easier to capture a great image if
    you know your subject’s behavior,
    movement and habitat.

  • Always be ready; most great photos
    come from nowhere. You need to be
    alert and aware of your surroundings
    so you’re able to react in a few seconds.

  • Don’t wait for a holiday to take
    pictures; practice at home. Photograph
    animals in your garden (or even your
    pets) to refine your technique.

predators would appear.

often have to photograph the unexpected.
