A good camera alone rarely results in good wildlife photographs. They require great intuitive understanding and, in some cases, quite a bit of knowledge on the behavior of these special subjects. The speed of the camera equipment combined with the quick perception of the photographer are additional requirements for this type of subject. The photographer often needs to have a lot of patience. The reward is fascinating, lively pictures which portray an exciting world of images of immeasurable diversity.
Pets are already close at hand.
Meadows and fields close to home offer further possibilities, as does a Sunday visit to the zoo. For some photography enthusiasts, special photography safaris are just as much of a highlight as expeditions to remote regions. A distinction can be made between wildlife photos taken with conventional equipment and those captured using very long telephoto focal lengths and fast camera equipment. However, it can also serve as documentation which is, unfortunately, increasingly laden with negative environmental aspects. The flight distance, i.e. the distance from the photographer to the subject, also increases with focal length.
