Top tips to help you take better photos of wildlife in the field
1 Invest in good glass
Wildlife photography is where you’ll see a huge improvement when using decent optics, so splash out on the best lenses you can buy.
2 Hire a lens
If you can’t stretch to premium glass yet, or you’re not convinced it’s worth the investment, it might be a good shout to hire an L-series lens for a weekend, and see the results for yourself.
3 Keep practising
A local duck pond is the perfect practise ground to finesse your autofocusing skills on fast-moving airborne targets as they land.
4 Do your research
Use search engines to find wildlife hides and deer parks close to you. There are all sorts of worthwhile options aside from the big zoos.
5 Get a good bird identification book
A detailed bird book can help you identify the species you’ve photographed, so it’s easier to label your shots more accurately.

6 Fast shutter speed
For fast-moving animals, such as birds in flight, you’ll want a shutter speed of at least 1/2,000 sec to stand a chance of capturing a pin-sharp shot. You can do this by opening your aperture all the way and bumping up the ISO until you have a fast enough shutter speed.
7 Continuous autofocus
