When shooting wildlife I find it very important to focus as much as possible on what the animal is doing and even with todays cameras where the LCD screen is so good, I still like to do it mostly through the viewfinder. It allows me to be more focused and more responsive to action.

A compelling wildlife photograph goes beyond capturing a moment. It’s about creating an image that resonates emotionally, draws the viewer in, and tells a story. Composition is the framework that transforms a technically good photograph into a great one. By mastering composition techniques you can elevate your wildlife photography to new heights.

Are you looking to take your photography skills to the next level? Back button focus (BBF) might be the secret weapon you’ve been missing. This technique, very popular among professional photographers, separates the autofocus function from the shutter button, giving you unparalleled control and precision.
