Photography of wild animals in their natural habitat.
Requires patience, knowledge of the animal and long telephoto lenses (300mm+). Use Continuous AF with animal recognition. Fast shutter speeds (1/2000 for birds in flight, for example) help freeze motion. Burst mode makes it easier to catch the right moment. Arrive early: animals are most active around sunrise and sunset.
