Digital Wildlife and Animal Photography

Talk to a Park Ranger

SUMMARY: Looking to take digital photos of animals in national parks and wildlife reserves? Don't neglect park rangers as valuable source of information on animal behavior.

Interested in taking digital photos of wildlife, but can't seem to be in the right place at the right time? If you're not interested or don't have time to study books on animal migration and feeding habits, find a park ranger who's not too busy and ask for suggestions. Most rangers would be very happy to tell you when and where animals are most likely to be awake and stirring, as long as you take care to shoot from a safe distance and not bother the animals.
