The Need for Speed

Published by:  Apogee Photo
Tutorial Preview:

Speed. It doesn't kill, but without it a wildlife photographer might as well be dead. When shooting wildlife, you must be quick on the draw or you won't get the shot. Even with autofocus equipment making focusing on your subject quicker and easier than in the days of having to manual focus, if you aren't prepared to take the shot you might as well keep you camera in the bag.

As a leader of tours and workshops, one of the biggest problems I have encountered with participants is their taking too much time getting everything ready and missing THE shot. This is fine when doing a scenic and the subject is going nowhere, but when you're getting ready to photograph a pair of bighorn sheep about to butt heads or an elk thrashing its antlers on a tree or shrub, you need to be ready to push the button at the opportune time.
