As the cliché goes, “When in Rome, do
as the Romans do.” Locals in Australia
introduced me to all kinds of wildlife I
wouldn’t have otherwise seen. During a trip
to the Galapagos, Ecuadorian guides told
me where to spot local fauna. In Africa,
game drive guides and trackers helped
me capture that ‘Kodak’ moment without
disturbing the most dangerous of animals.
You now know about key camera
equipment, how to locate wildlife and
the best times to photograph them, and
some dangers associated with wildlife
photography. So get at it!! ●
