Very helpful thanks mate.
my favorite tip is the one about to die contact with the subject I've done that so many times when just walking without a camera to try to get as close as possible to animals but I never thought of it when actually holding a camera
I love your YouTube videos. I am just starting out on wildlife and am using Sony a6000 with f4.0 18-105mm medium tele. I see what you use for holding you large telephoto. What is the brand? Do they make one for a small or medium tele like mine?
Awesome! Just starting to get into this and I'm not sure what its taken me so long. Probably not having the gear but now I'm starting to acquire the basics.
I like Number 5 – I've actually used this myself. Another technique which some naturalists use is to look bored or even yawn! It's essentially making it look like you're not interested and therefore non-threatening.
Hi Steve
Millions of thanks for your great e-book! It enhanced my knowledge by far and I adored your great easy-going and witty style!! I can warmly recommend it to every wildilfe enthusiast.

Hi Steve, thank so much for creating these videos, all them being easy to understand and being much relevant for beginners as well as seasoned amateurs. I ended up purchasing your book "Secrets to…" not only because (of course) to learn more from your experience, but also as a way to thank you for these videos. Please keep up the good work, you're an amazing teacher. Looking forward to your next video…

Steve can you please tell me where can I get paper version of your "SECRETS TO STUNNING WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY" book ?
Steve, heading to S. Africa in June for our first Safari. We have a Nikon D7200 and the 18-200 lens but I'm thinking of renting a lens for the trip. What would you recommend? jc32750@mac.com
hi mate I would suggest a better lens your one looked cheap and not that good
lol joking probz cost more than a car
Great tips. Knew some of them but some I didn't so many thanks. One thing though, if, let's say, I want to go out and shoot deer at my local nature park am I best off using a tripod and gimbal head because I am finding my 150-600 lens quite a struggle hand held.
Great stuff Steve! Thanks
The best wildlife picture what i took was about a dead bird. i guess i'll stick with nature photographing
Great video!!
All good tips, as usual. 🙂
I'd add to the wind one by saying keeping downwind may let you get closer. Just don't become breakfast.
Also bring a macro lens, and look down and under stuff when things are quiet. If the big animals or birds are elusive, there are always colourful bugs and creepy crawlies, or even interesting fungi or whatever. Also keep an eye out for snakes (have to add that, as I'm an Aussie).
Great video, sub'd!
Please see my channel and give me tips
First thing I learned about wildlife photography it is very expensive lol ?
I'm in Africa :-/ If I drop to eye level I'll get mauled by a lion…

Hi Steve,
really nice Video. However I have some Issues with it.
1. If you use a Tripod never activate Image Stabilaziation
2. Tip 3 and 9 are hardly doable in Wildlife Photography. Sure you can plan ahead a little bit but at the end of the day the animal wont be where you want it to be and will probably vanish faster than you wish. I doubt that you have enough time to move around for a better background or to change your AF points constantly.
Well done! Keep it up please.
What kind of camera and lens were used to take these photos?
Hi Steve, your videos are the best!
