1. Park life
While not the most exciting creatures in the animal kingdom, squirrels, hedgehogs and dormice are active at this time of year. A telephoto or telezoom is essential for shooting frame filling images – aim for a focal length of 300mm, or better still 400mm, or more. A lens like the NIKKOR AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G or AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G VR is ideal. Visiting parks or woodland early in the morning, when it’s quietest and the light is softest, is often the best time to capture wildlife feeding and drinking, but you may have better luck with an evening session if you’re on the look out for hedgehogs. Good focusing technique is paramount, especially when photographing fast moving subjects like squirrels. To compose subjects off centre, try to practise techniques such as back-button focusing (AF-ON/AF-Lock) and set your camera to also shoot in AF continuous shooting mode to increase your chance of success. Some wildlife centres and sanctuaries hold photography days too if you’d like to photograph autumn animals but lack the time and patience.
