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, 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, 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

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.

The best wildlife picture what i took was about a dead bird. i guess i'll stick with nature photographing
Gina Heaton
Great video!!
Sean Coyne
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).

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.
