Coming to you from David Swindler with B&H Photo and Video, this excellent video tutorial will show you five tips for improving your wildlife photography. Perhaps the most crucial tip of all is the importance of patience and learning animal behavior. All the best wildlife photographers have excellent technique, creative vision, and post-processing skills, of course, but they also have strong knowledge of animal behavior and tendencies, which allows them to better understand where to find their subjects, how to position themselves, and how to prepare for the shots. In tandem with that knowledge comes a healthy dose of patience. Professional wildlife photographers will often wait hours for a single shot, and while they will not always get the one they want, when they do, it makes all that work and time worth it. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Swindler.
