How to be a wildlife photographer

Hello, if you want to be a wildlife photographer, you need not only superb photography skills, but also hardship and understanding of animal habits.

Here is a brief introduction to wildlife photographers. Generally, this kind of photographer has hobbies, and it is dangerous to shoot wild animals. They must also know the habits of animals and the time when animals appear and disappear. If they want to capture a high-definition, layered and wonderful photo, they should lurk in a corner or grass for hours, or even a day or two. You have considerable endurance to endure mosquito bites.

The basic equipment used by wildlife photographers is not simple. Most photographers use top-notch SLR cameras. For example, Canon 1D, the top high-performance camera in Quan Huafu, generally uses ultra-long focal length lenses to shoot wild animals, such as Canon 70-500 and Sigma 80-600. And these lenses are always more than 10 thousand yuan. This kind of photographer must have eight to ten lenses and four or five high-performance cameras. Without excellent technology and abundant funds, it is difficult to become such a photographer.
