7 Wildlife Photography Mistakes Even Experienced Photographers Still Make

Most people think wildlife photography is about having the longest lens and the most expensive camera. But the truth is, some of the biggest mistakes happen after you’ve been doing this for years. Today I’m breaking down seven wildlife photography mistakes even experienced photographers still make — and how to fix them.

1. Chasing Gear Instead of Mastering Technique
2. Ignoring Animal Behaviour Patterns
3. Poor Ethics and Disturbing Wildlife
4. Shooting in Bad Light Without a Plan
5. Over-Reliance on Autofocus and Auto Modes
6. Not Preparing for the Environment
7. Overshooting and Under-Editing

And remember:

• The best lens is the one you know
• Get low, change your angle
• Wait for the eyes to catch light
• Silence is your superpower
