Helpful Tips for Photographing Wildlife •• Use a monopod or tri-pod to help stabilize the camera so there is less vibration, resulting in sharper images. •• Photograph during early morning or late afternoon hours. Light during these hours enhances the images. •• Wear tall boots and long pants when in the woods (snake precaution) as well as liberal applications of insect repellent and sunscreen. •• Always protect your equipment with cases and lens covers, particularly on the beach since sand can scratch lenses. •• BE PATIENT.
