Digital Wildlife and Animal Photography

Snap Quickly and Often

SUMMARY: Snap plenty of digital photos to compensate for random animal movements.

When a safe photo opportunity presents itself, get a focus and exposure lock on the animal and snap quickly and often. Animals may move without warning, shaking their heads, grooming themselves, etc., and by taking extra photographs you increase the chance of getting a pleasing photograph.
