Careful planning
Plan your trip thoroughly. This all comes down to ensuring you visit the correct location at the right time of year. Not only do you need to find out exactly where your wildlife subject can be found before you arrive, you need to know which season they are most active and therefore more likely to be seen. Also, it’s important to know the type of environment you’re going to so you can bring the most appropriate kit, clothing, and footwear. I also take the time to see what other photos have been captured previously so I know what kind of photo I can expect to achieve while also ensuring that I capture something unique.
RECOMMENDED KIT
Mirrorless camera
I have completely converted to the mirrorless system as there are many advantages that come with the kit. One of the biggest is the amazing autofocus systems the cameras have. I currently use the Canon EOS R3 and R5 models. Another benefit is weight, so now all my gear is under 12kg when I travel.
Range of focal lengths
My mirrorless Canon set-up right now includes a trio of RF lenses. I use the RF 24-105mm, RF 70-200mm and my absolute favourite, the RF 100-500mm – I tend to use this the most. This range of focal lengths covers a wide range of subject matter.
