THESE TIPS WILL INSTANTLY MAKE YOU A BETTER WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER

1
Study animal's behaviour
Learn as much as you can about your subject. Once you know the behaviour, when your subject goes out to feed, which are its common paths, how does it react to human beings, what is the safe distance from which it lets you take pictures - as much about it as you can find out, you will have a much better chance to capture the right moment.

2
Be very patient
Wildlife photography requires a great deal of patience. Animals are unpredictable and getting a great shot can take hours or even days. Be prepared, you can stay in a hide and have ideally two cameras ready with 2 different lenses and 2 different settings. So that once the time comes, you are ready to take any type of picture, be it a fast action or a still portrait.

3
Lighting and composition
Always study the terrain prior to your trip. If you know where the animal usually shows up, then try to find a nice background, hours or days in advance, so that you not only get a great shot of the animal, but also get a background which is not disrupting the image and makes the overall composition much nicer. Sometimes it only takes one step to the side to completely change the background. Make use of those beautifully lit sceneries during the golden hour and take shots of your animals in the best lighting conditions if you can.

4
Use fast equipment and fast modes
A fast tele or a tele zoom lens with a focal length of 300-600mm (35mm equiv.) is recommended. Also use fast UHS II class SD cards, as you will be using fast sequential shooting and Pro Capture modes, which will help you capture any fleeting moment.
