Wildlife photography has a difficulty that most other genres lack: It’s hard to get close to your subject. Animals are typically wary and will fly or run away if you just walk too close to them – that’s why most wildlife photographers carry long lenses in the 400-800mm range and often crop further from there. But if you follow a few steps to make your subjects more comfortable, it is possible to get closer as a wildlife photographer and get better photos because of it.
