Top 5 Wildlife Photography Tips

Sussex Wildlife Trust is the leading conservation organisation working in East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton. Our aim is Taking Care of Sussex.

Find your subject
Do you homework to where and when you can see wildlife to photograph.
Get close to your subject
But remember not to scare your subject, wildlife is always more important than a photo!
Keep it steady
Don’t let camera shake ruin your shot. Rest the camera on a beanbag, wall or use a tripod.
Composition and framing
Think about why you’re taking your photo. Use the ‘Rule of Thirds’ and don’t be afraid to experiment
Light fantastic
The best light for photographs is early morning or evening, luckily this is often when wildlife is most active too!
